Oh Smartfood Selects...how we love you

 
 
 
One of the new campaigns that I am working on for Bzz Agent is the new Smartfood Selects line of snacks. When we received our Bzzkit filled with samples of the chips and a FULL SIZE bag of the Cinnamon Brown Sugar popcorn it was like Christmas in our household. My kids are all about snacks, and I have trained them to eat healthy so the first question they usually ask before eating anything is "Mommy...is this healthy" With ease I was able to confirm, yes these snacks are indeed healthy. First we fixed sliced up some fresh fruit including apples, grapes, and strawberries and opened the bag of Sundried Tomato/Herb chips and made a nice little spread. I served the snack on to the kids during their after school play date with a few of the neighborhood kids. Let me tell you, the whole plate was devoured in a matter of a few minutes. All the kids loved the combination of the fruit and the seasoned chips so much so that I had to open the Feta chips for them to share.
Here is a picture of my little spread.
 
 
 
I saved the Cinnamon Brown Sugar popcorn for our family movie night. We watched Cinderella and I sometimes spurge and serve kettle corn on occasion as a treat, but it is so high in fat and sugar I don’t like to this much. I was a little concerned that the kids would not like the Smartfood Selects Cinnamon popcorn because when I noticed that there seemed to be a lot of Cinnamon on it. Boy was I wrong. What I thought was all Cinnamon was a perfect combination of Cinnamon and Brown Sugar which made your taste buds burst. It was so good that the kids didn’t even ask for Kettle corn and said they liked it better than Kettle corn. WOW! The popcorn was light, airy and just the perfect combination of sweet and crunchy. I wish they would serve this at the movie theater instead of the salty, fatty popcorn they serve.
If you have not tried Smartfoods Selects, I highly recommend you do so. These are not just for adults, and not your average "diet" food. They are natural, healthy and delicious. Try them and let me know what your family thinks. Oh and rest assured, if I come across any coupons I will post them, but for now keep your eye on Smartfood on facebook here, they sometimes post great savings to their fans.

Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist Starter Kit from BzzAgent. **Free alert*


I have been working on the Bzz campaign for Glade Expressions oil diffuser and Spray Mist which they sent me free to try out and review... and I have to tell you I love this product. I bought the Apple Spice variety and have received so many compliments on the smell of my home. The most common comments are that it smells like I am baking something or that my house just "smells like fall". With two dogs, my house smelling like anything other than dog is a welcomed comment.

The Glade product comes in a beautiful oil diffuser and also a spray mist. The oil diffuser blends with any décor and comes in Pineapple (with a brown dispenser) or Apple (with a white dispenser). The decorative dispensers are refillable so once the oil runs out, you only need to get more oil jars in your desired fragrance.

The spray mist comes in more fragrances which include:

Cotton & Italian Mandarin

Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice

Lavender & Juniper Berry

Pineapple & Mangosteen

A great feature of the spray mist is that wrapper comes off so that it is not as noticeable wherever you decide to place it. Another BzzAgent spruced hers up to look like a ghost which makes a very festive mist :-) All she did was take the wrapper off and add black ghost eyes to the top and mouth. Super cute.

Here is the great news, you can try the spray mist for free at Target by coupon stacking, but be fast as the prints usually go quickly. Here is how
