A quick note...

A quick note before I run to bed for the day. I just wanted to say thank you to those of you who have taken the time to check this out. I know I'm not very blog savvy but I'm catching on! Not only that but with not much going on quite yet Bzz wise, I'm a little slow getting moving. I'm hoping in the upcoming days to share some info on Crowdtap as well as sharing more deals when I come across them. I've been a little reluctant to do so as I don't want to overwhelm myself and abandon ship. So again THANK YOU!

Daily Bzz: Soda Stream

Happy Friday! Today's Daily Bzz is the Soda Stream. This particular item has been looked forward to by many many BzzAgents the last few days. So I'm figuring that this campaign is going to be tough to get into. But it's worth a shot and well, who wouldn't want to save some money by making soda at home!




So here's the specifics...



**Please note all product information is directly from SodaStream**


Quick convenient and easy to use.



Fresh delicious soda in seconds



No more lugging heavy, bulky bottles and cans from the store



No more store cases of soda



No more worries about running out of your favorite soft drinks



Over 25 great-tasting flavors, including regular, diet, and Caffine-free options



Regular flavors have much less sugar, carbs, and sodium than store bought brands



Diet flavors are sweetened with Splenda and contain no aspartame.



Reuseable BPA-free bottles and concentrated soda mix cut down on recyclables and disposables, making an environmentally-friendly alternative to store-bought drinks.



No batteries, electricity or plumbing.



Reliable and friendly service.



Money back guarantee and two-year warranty.



Also see Soda Streams FAQ page to answer any additional questions about recycling, their referal program, or ordering information!



Now as to why I WANT IN! I'm a mother of two and Auntie of four. I work full-time graveyards, and I LOVE Mtn. Dew. Let's just say a large bottle of water and a 1-liter bottle go to work with me every night. McDonalds Large Cokes are a quick pick me up when I'm out an about. This would save me enormous amounts of money. Besides how perfect would this be for a family party, BBQ, etc? I can see putting this to use over and over again. And if I fall in love with this machine as much as I think I will, I would totally buy it as a Christmas gift for a few close family members. Come on Bzz save this Mom some money!


(And who doesn't think of this infamous commercial whenever you think of soda? Hopefully if you give me a Soda Stream, it will be adios to this brand!)

Updates on Daily Bzz

I think it's important. I'm sure you sometimes read this going okay I get it, you're trying to get campaigns. Well it's paying off.

I did get into Burt's Bees Campaign and it has shipped, I'm waiting for it's arrival. (I didn't get this as Daily Bzz but actual campaign invite).

I did get in on BuckyBalls, and waiting for shipping notification on it.

Minutes ago I received notice that I will be participating in BananaGrams.

So hopefully some updates on campaigns will be coming soon! Bil-Jac will be wrapping up sooner rather than later, and I can't wait to tell you what the end result is. Needless to say, persistance pays!

Daily Bzz: Manduka eKO Lite® Mat

Manduka eKO Lite Mat


So here's the skinny, or here's to the hope of getting skinny! This mat is designed to not only be eco friendly, but light and portable. It weighs in at about three and half pounds, and measures out to be 68 x 24 x 1/8th . Made from natural tree rubber (not the Amazon kind) and contains no PVC or Plasticizers. This mat is also Latex free, so if you have an allergy.. you should be okay. Cleaning this thing also appears to be a cinch. So why am I telling you?


Because I want in! I've been wanting to work out, but finding the right activity has proven difficult. I tried Yoga once on a all girls weekend (Which ended up as an awkward girls weekend, which is another story entirely). I found it calming and relaxing, and actually fell asleep at the end! Sadly I've not done it since, and would really love to give it an honest go. I think that this would help me take a step in the right direction. So what do ya say Bzz, you show me your Downward Facing Dog and I"ll show you mine!?

Daily Bzz: Star Wars: The Complete Saga & My Bzz Updates.



So today's Daily Bzz is for the Star Wars: Complete Saga on blu-ray. Let me say this. I have NEVER watched any of the StarWars movies. I have learned over the years that this is extremly rare. Which I kind of find rather odd. I've never understood the excitement or hype around the movies. Seriously am I missing something? If I am, Bzz, LET ME IN?! Now that I'm 30, I'm actually a little curious as to why people are speachless when they rave about the movie and I act like a deer caught in headlights. Honestly the most I know about StarWars besides Yoda, R2D2, and CP3O (I think) is that Harrison Ford was in one of them, and that I played a medley in the High School Band when I was on the Alto Saxophone!



UPDATES: I am patiently waiting for my Burts Bee's campaign. I'm extrememly excited to try this out. Now that our season is struggling to change from summer to fall (here in Ut we're in the 80's for at least the next couple of days), I've noticed my skin isn't just dry, but ashy looking. So I'm eagerly watching my mailbox.


Bil-Jac - my dogs are LOVING this...and the cat still is as well. I have found that the suggested serving sizes are working for the most part, but my Lab seems to need a little more. The cat is still taking a bite or two out of the bowl if any is left over. The "no transition" is true. The dogs haven't had any issues switching brands. So far so good!

The Doors- Light My Fire (Live at the Roundhouse)-Lyrics

Daily Bzz: Root Candles

Today's Daily Bzz: Root Candles. So let me tell you about me and my history with candles. It's nothing dramatic, or tramatizing I should add.

Back in high school I was looking for a part-time job when I came accross a store called Candleman. I looked inside and that's all it was about candles! I applied and got the job, I worked here for about 6 years. SIX YEARS! I sold Jars, pillars, votives, tarts, decorative (non burning), essential oils, burners, warmers, wicks, and not to mention the numerous accesssories that would go with any of these given items. I became familar with a number of brands, and many who I can identify by name an recall quite a bit (come on give me a break, I've been out of he biz now for about 7 years!).

So I can say that there are plently of great brand names out there. But Root has got to be one of the most if not THE most popular brand for Pillars and Taper candles out there. Root is known for their long burn time, available textures, as well as a wide variety of colors and scents.

For more history about the brand go here.

I guess we should now move onto, why do I want in? Well honestly in all the years I worked with candles, I was more into oil candles and jar candles. This was mostly because they were our most inquired about items. Believe it or not you do have individuals who are dedicated to a certain type of candle. Because of this I found myself burning more of these types to become more familar with the products and scents. I never really was a taper/pillar person! Now that I'm older I want something more relaxing, and I think that this would fit the bill! So please BZZ what do ya say?

In closing for all fellow candle burners out there, I would like to remind you of a few saftey tips!


  • Never leave a burning candle unattended!

  • Do not place burning candles near flamable items.

  • Keep candles in a safe place away from children and pets

  • Avoid burning candles where a draft can be felt, reducing smoke.

  • Keep wicks trimmed to a 1/4 inch.

  • Store in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight

  • Candles are not edible

  • If a candle is burning unevenly, once extenguished and wax is still soft, use the handle of a spoon or a butter knife to recenter the wick.

Daily Bzz:Lunchbots



Theses are Lunchbots, I want one! I am a girl who is obsessed with lunchboxes. To be quite honest if my garage wasn't a complete hellhole right now, I'd wander out there and take a picture of my lunchbox collection. Yep.. You read that right. I went through a phase where I wanted lunchboxes. Metal ones such as old fashion Plaid, or how about a Dark Crystal one? Or plastic ones such as New Kids on The Block. Then in all my glory they came out with the novelty ones, that were small and bigger ones that I also had. I haven't looked at this collection in year, but there were simply too many. I typically carried them as a purse, and this went on partway through high school!

But now that I'm older, and my needs are different gone are the lunchbox toting acting like it's a purse days! I work full time and work graveyards, I get hungry folks! I want a "grown up" lunch box. This is where lunchbots come in handy . They're made of high quality stainless steel, not only is the bottom portion metal but so is the lid! There's no plastic here friends. They're also lead free and dishwasher safe, these puppies handle your food and keep it cold, and won't smash your sandwich ! However these are not liquid tight, so put your soup in something else! These come in 4 colors, all with different uses, so check out the picture below to see what one would be right for you and visit them here !


I really think this would be a great campaign for me and I really really want in ! So what do ya say?!

Daily Bzz: Bananagrams



Todays Daily Bzz : BANANAGRAMS! So I've never played this game, but it looks super uber fun! I've mentioned my kids (8 & 10), well I'm looking for games to engage them, and make them think. This could work! SO, after seeing this posted on BzzAgents homepage, I deceided to go visit Bananagrams page. They have won numerous awards which you can see on their website, you can also click on the ribbons they've posted on their site to read more about them. I will say I really "WANT IN" on this one. It's a game that I think my girls will love!


The following is from their website.


"The anagram game that will drive you bananas!"

Bananagrams is the first in the bunch, the game that started it all.

Players race againest each other to build crossword grids and use all

their letter tiles. There's no turn-taking to be found here - it all

happens at once and it's a race to the finish. No matter how old you

are and how many anagram games you've played, Bananagrams is

sure to drive you absolutely bananas ... in the best possible way!

Daily Bzz: Madden 12



Yes this is random. But I won't lie, this is the first song that popped in my head when I heard that Madden 12 would be the Daily Bzz for today. In case you haven't noticed, random music pops into my head quite frequently.

With that said, I want in Bzz, I know you're going to hear the husband will love me forever line from many many women today. But I'm not married, but want to learn football. I like video games, and so do my girls. Besides my girls want to play this with their Dad, which would be great since he's leaving soon to temporarly move out of state for work.

SO SLAM DUH DUH DUH, DUH DUH DUH, PUT THIS GAME IN MY MAILBOX!
(sorry, that was lame, but it made me laugh !)

Daily Bzz: Burts Bees Sensitive Skin


So today (9/20) the Daily Bzz over at BzzAgent is for Burts Bees Sensitive Skin. If you've never heard of them, I'd suggest you check out their site to see what they're about. However because I'm staring at the page I'll post a few key points from their "What We Are" page and post it here. But if you want to read the full statemtent, please click the like provided in the previous sentence.

So onto the Bzz itself. I'm not sure if this campaign if for a whole set of their sensitive skin line or only for one specific product so I'll mention what they've got here, with the highlights of the items. Then perhaps you and I both will be surprised if we get into the campaign!

And now as to why I WANT IN!


Growing up I've always had dry sensitive skin, constant peeling and itching, which unfortunatly has followed me into adulthood, and sadly my daughters (8 and 10) also suffer as well. My oldest being the worse of the two is constantly slathering on lotion to keep from scratching. My oldest is also very selective because she has found that a lot of lotions due to fragrance and unnatural ingredients sting or burn when applied over the dry patches of skin. I think that this product would be perfect for the three of us to try as we all have different degrees of dryness and redness. Not only is it an adult POV but childrens too. So what do ya say Bzz? Let us in ?

BirchBox

Have you heard of BirchBox? If not, and you're a woman who LOVES beauty items, and trying new things, this just might be for you. I personally started ordering BirchBox 3 months ago (Septembers box being my 3rd). And Can't find one thing bad about this company so far! So I'll go directly off their "About" page so you can see for yourself what they are all about.

"Birchbox delivers the best products and the best insider secrets, without any fuss. Every month Birchbox members will receive a curated box of luxe beauty samples. Each box will span beauty catagories and deliver exciting products that fit into both your day-to-day routine, and into those days when you want to turn up the drama a notch.


Co-founders Hayley Barna and Katia Beauchamp met at Harvard Business School. They created Birchbox to help women cut though the clutter of the beauty world to find products that really work for them."


With that said, the nitty gritty of it is this. For $10.00 a month you get 4-5 beauty samples sent to your home. These items will be makeup, skincare, perfume, beauty tools, and even emerging trents. These are items that you may have heard about and wanted to try or things you've never heard of or seen anywhere. These are your small hand outs either, but larger samples so you can actually TRY the product. Also when you refer a friend or review a product received you will be rewarded points. For every 100 you collect you can redeem them for $10.00 in the BirchBox store toward your favorite items.


Below you will find my BirchBox for September. Remember that based of the profile you fill out your products may vary from others.


This is what the box normally looks like.


When you open your box, you will see this card. It tells you about the product in your box, and a monthly statement is normally on the back. In this case the back talks about BirchBox's 1 year anniversary.


The above pictures shows you what the box looks like upon opening it, whiile the picture below is after I've opened that pretty pink wrapped "gift".I took the picture below holding this facial powder so you can see it's not small, and is a decent size.


So this is my early morning blog for the day, I'm back to work early this evening, so probably nothing more until late Monday or early Tuesday (thank you weird shifts)!


To those of you followers, THANK YOU, and new readers Hello! Remember questions and comments are always welcome!

AC/DC - Big Balls (Music Video)

Speaking of Balls...

Daily Bzz : Buckyball




UPDATE - WE GOT IN! Please look out for our post Bzzing on this product... hopefully soon! and Thank You BzzAgent! Today's Daily Bzz Item: Buckyballs!

I'll admit, I've never heard of them, which is what makes them more appealing to me. My inner geek is shouting that I need these. Why? Because when I read this :

"216 Balls. It's more than a perfect cube...it's the perfect

starting point. Packed to the brim with Bucky's neo-magent

fun to combat boredom in the workplace and beyond.

Mash 'em up like a stress ball, then pull a few and watch

as that knot in your hand becomes a chain.

Snap 'em, stack 'em, fold and unfold 'em.

How fun is that ?"


I can't help but think of how this can help entertain me on a long graveyard night at work, or a long road trip, or even while sitting outside watching my kids soccer practice or games early on a Saturday morning. These will keep me busy and awake after that long shift.


I want in!

Puma Friends & Family

Happy Friday Friends!

The Daily Bzz: Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender

Today's Daily Bzz : Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender 200 W

Now I will admit, I have never owned one of these beauties, but I hear good things. Obviously a helpful little kitchen gadget from the looks of it.

The question, why on earth would I want one? I'm wanting to lose a few extra pounds and would like a little help & well I've been trying to find a way to get in my daily intake of fruits and veggies. Can you say smoothies? And with this handy dandy portable device there would be no excuse for me not to throw this puppy in my backpack and take it to work on a graveyard shift. So not only that, but then I can spread the bzz with co workers, we could have a smoothie/shake party. It could liven up a 911 dispatch center right? I don't know a single dispatcher who wouldn't love a shake on a long night, or a pick me up after a bad call. At home, two small girls who fight me on the whole fruit/veggie why should I eat healthy front. Let's not forget soups, salsa, and a great blended adult beverage!


I have a feeling that this is something that I would use more than I even know. So here's to you BzzAgent.... PICK ME! PICK ME! I WANT IN!


And now for some product stats...




  • One touch on/off


  • Comfort handle


  • Motor body housing


  • Detachable shaft for easy cleaning


  • Blending attachment w/stainless steal blade & guard


  • Stainless blade is partially covered to keep splashing to a minimum


  • 2cup mixing beaker

***All summerized product info is from Cuisinart, please note that this is not the exact item as pictured above but is similar in style***


Thanks for reading!

Bil-Jac ...part 1

I received the Bil-Jac BzzKit last week. Below are photos of what was received.






Ran down to Petsmart to redeem that awesome freebie, and got a $16.99 bag of dog food (6lbs) for $1.10. Yep, government & state still want their taxes :) I went ahead since it was on sale and used a $10 coupon to get the BIG bag for $33.99. Brought it home read up and started measuring for the dogs. A Black Lab and Brussels Griffon (or Wags and Ruckus respectively). I stepped away for a second and returned to see this...


Apparently Otis the cat wanted in on the action... apparently jealous that the dogs were getting a special treat!



Well now the transition has begun... well they say no transition needed. So I guess the dogs are jumping in all paws at once. We'll see how their tummies handle this... and the cats too!

Bzzzz....

I think my Bzz is more of a snore today. I work graveyards, I've slept 3 hours on my night off and go back to work tonight. Guess I should be taking myself back to bed.

On the Bzz front. Didn't get a Kindle 3 but am glad I had the chance to try for one. You can't win them all! :) But according to BzzAgent, there will be daily campaign chances everyday this month. (Which appear to be Monday thru Friday only). There are things like Blender bottles, Bodum glasses, cuisinart drink mixers coming up. Don't believe me. Go check out the website for yourself. It's right there on the home page and you don't have to sign up to see it. Like what you see? Sign up! Have questions, ask them here or check out the info they provide.

Today I'm hoping to go get my Bil-Jac dog food. I was intending to do it yesterday and got distracted. I did take some pictures of the "kit" for this. A informational card, coupon for my free 6lb bag, and $10 off coupons. I'll post them after I go pick up the freebie.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011

Music Added.

So I figure I needed to add some personality to this page. I'm a little random, and list to quite a broad range of music. So I added my Playlist to the bottom of this page with some of the things that are currently or constantly stuck in my head. I'm sure I'll add more as I go along. So feel free to just listen or pick something to listen too!

A thought & more pictures...

So a thought...
I do believe I will expand on this a little as I get rolling. If I find a killer deal, Fun/Funny/Interesting/Fellow BzzAgent Blog I do believe I'll share.

But in the meantime here's a few more pictures :)


I think it's important to know that sometimes you'll get a coupon with your goods (printable in this case to share with friends) and sometimes you'll get full sized product. In this case 4 full size Maybelline Super Stay 24hr lip color!
Or how about some L'Oreal One Sweep Eyeshadow and some Mascara!? Yes these are full sized products too.

Or how about this? This is my HTC HD7 Windows 7 phone for T-Mobile. Yes I received this as a BzzCampaign, YES it was FREE, and YES, I am STILL using this phone! I will say that the timing on this one was great because I was in the market at the time this was offered. It not only saved me a wad of cash, but also got me into the touch screen / smartphone movement!




Or if you have kids with allergies, why not a little Claritin for kids? This worked wonders for my 8 year old this past spring! I've been Busy Bzzing today!

BzzAgent: bluufrog

Kindle 3


So my BzzAgent is starting "The Daily Bzz" a chance to "Invite yourself to new BzzCampaigns, 5 days a week". The first opprotunity... KINDLE 3! (Yes a huge picture, because I'm that excited!)





I have been wanting a Kindle for ages now. I am constantly buying books for my girls, and love taking books to work (I'm a graveyarder). However lugging books back and forth for myself is kind of a pain, and needless to say will ruin a paperback in a hurry! Since I'm a 1 income family of 3 my cashflow is a little limited so this is a purchase that has gone on the back burner. I'm going to cross my fingers and toes, say a little prayer, and HOPE that I can get in on this! If I do trust me, I'LL POST IT HERE, and photos when it's received! As you can already tell, I'm a little excited to do this blog, and really hope I continue to share the Bzz (both good and bad) and hear what you all think as well!



For those of you who are new to my page and don't feel like doing a little scrolling. BzzAgent is a fabulous word of mouth company that I happily participate in. I try and keep product that I receive from them for FREE! Never obligated to try things I don't want, and encouraged to speak my piece.. good or bad! You have nothing to lose, you know you want to sign up! Come on, give in to peer pressure ! :)



PS - JONO, I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT IN!



Best Wishes,

BzzAgent bluufrog

Photos

The Flip Ultra HD was a fun one! A little about me, I'm a single Mom of 2, I don't have a lot of spare cash laying around, so this was great, a simple, easy to use, throw in your purse and go camera! I still love this thing! One of my favorite Campaigns!



Laser Pegs, a perfect example as to why following their Facebook page is a great idea, I won this !
Yes, you're seeing right, the next 3 photos are of an iPad 2. I got this one from an email request sent to myself and numerous other BzzAgents to forward online order confirmations to a start up company Itemize.com. (It's a personal shopper / deal finder based off your interests site). Top 5 participates received the following gem. I'm still stoked about this! (I received it roughly 2-3 weeks ago).



I said I'd try and post photos, so before I forget I wanted to post some. Again this is for only part of the campaigns I've participated in. I'll try and tell you what I did to get them if it was anything other than a standard invite from Bzz. Again, if you have any questions, please drop a comment and I'll do my best to get back to you. (I'm new at this concept so a little patience!)


More photos later!

Happy Bzzing,
BzzAgent bluufrog

What Bluufrog's Bzzing...

I figured it was about time. What time? Time to start "Bzzing" about what I'm trying out on BzzAgent. If you aren't familiar with BzzAgent, click and read what they have to say about the program. I think today I'll give you a slight overview and share with you what I've participated in so far.

"How does BzzAgent work? Simple: we send products from top brands to everyday consumers, just like you. Then they talk about them. Sign up now to join the 800,000+ BzzAgents who already:
Try popular products and services, totally free.
Help friends discover cool new stuff by sharing opinions
Influence brands eager for feedback"

It's also important to know you are never obligated to join a campaign, you can decline anything you are not interested in or don't feel is a right fit for you. Remember, ALWAYS BE HONEST in your feedback! I've only been asked to pay a slight fee for 1 campaign (this does happen on occassion but very rarely). I happened to decline this one as it was for a car diagnostic system, I drive a 2011 so I didn't really see the need since I can take it to the dealership.


So without further ado, here is my list so far.

***Starting with the most recent***

Bil-Jac Dry Dog Food August 25, 2011
StyleFind August 23, 2011
Cars 2: The Video Game June 2, 2011
Trend Micro Online Guardian April 27, 2011
Kingston Campaign April 11, 2011
Children's Claritin Chewables April 5, 2011
Flip Ultra Video Camera March 18, 2011
L'Oreal One Sweep Eye Shadow and Eye Illuminator Mascara March 10, 2011
Maybelline Superstay24 Color February 24, 2011
StyleFind February 23, 2011
COVERGIRL 50th Anniversary January 5, 2011
HTC Windows 7 Phone December 21, 2010
The Factor Tree November 17, 2010
DYMO LabelManager October 22, 2010
Elmer's Crafters' September 7, 2010
göt2b smooth operator May 13, 2010
Hill's Science Diet Small & Toy Breed April 20, 2010
L'Oreal(R) Paris Lash Boosting December 11, 2009

Sometimes there are campaigns that don't post here because they are drop shipped from the company itself. Such as my Kingston DataTraveler 8gb flashdrive, or the iPad that was drop shipped to my house courtesy of Itemize.

I do believe that it is important to note that a few of these such as The Car's Campaign and COVERGIRL 50th Anniversary were word of mouth type campaigns, didn't get product for these, but got insite to what was coming out etc. It's also import to know that BzzAgent is on Facebook (See them here)

For my friends: YES, this is the program that partnered up with Itemize and allowed me to earn a free iPad 2 (No Joke).


The Facebook page Not only let's you interact with other Bzzagents and Jono himself, but also will allow you to get a heads up when new campaigns are going to be released or what up and coming campaigns might be. Jono also on occassion will post a giveaway for either a campaign spot, or leftover bzzkits (Such as the Laser Pegs I received).

Emails...

Reading your Bzzagent Emails are IMPORTANT!!! I cannot stress that enough. If you aren't checking your page on a regular basis, your email is going to be your most important tool in telling you when you get a campagin invite. Some campaigns fill up quickly so you want to be on the ball.

I think it's also important to realize, some agents will get a campaign quickly, sometimes it takes awhile. BE PATIENT! I love BzzAgent and have found it to be very worthwhile for me. They are constantly rolling out new things and new ideas. So be open minded as well! Trust me they want to hear the good, bad, and ugly. It doesn't matter if you're posting to a blog, tweeting, or spreading Bzz on Facebook, just do it ! :)

I hope that this provides some encouragement to join, and I would urge you to read up on their site for more indepth info and starter information. Please feel free to comment below, and I promise I'll try and answer your questions to the best of my ability. I'm also hoping to do a post later with photos of product I have received. (I don't have pictures for every campaign as I started snapping them when friends started perking up!)

So here's the 1st post, and crossing my fingers that I can keep up with this! Thanks for your time!
