Live Below the Line Campaign

Most of the time BzzAgent gives us campaigns that give us something for free to try out but occasionally we are invited to participate in campaigns that either try to make people more aware of problems in society or to help those that are less fortunate.  Both my fiance and I were invited to BzzAgent's Live Below the Line Campaign and we're determined to give it our best shot. 

This campaign is a charity campaign so we don't get a kit.  Instead we are encourage to spread the word to everyone we know about world wide hunger and extreme poverty.  We are challenged to eat and drink each day for 5 days on $1.50 or less a day.  Not only that but we are invited to join a participating charity to gain donations to combat poverty.  Some of these organizations include:

• Shot at Life
• UNICEF
• The Global Poverty Project
• CARE
• Global Syndicate
• Malaria No More
• Rainforest Foundation US

Each of these non-profit organizations try their best to provide goods and services as well as training to those that need it in order to help people provide for their families.  So I strongly encourage each and every one of you who reads this to join in and show your support for these activities.  For more information on these partners go to http://livebelowtheline.com/us-partners.

• Like Live Below the Line on Facebook to connect with others participating in this year's challenge
• Follow Live Below the Line on Twitter to get some moral support from the team plus other participants.
• Check out the Live Below the Line YouTube page to see videos from previous years. Great for some preparation ideas and what to expect.

Coupon Clipping Digital Style

Though I don't have a printer at the moment (my ol' Dell printer finally gave up the ghost) there are some incredible online coupons out this weekend.  All the ones I have were provided to me through BzzAgent and I tell you what... if you haven't joined this site you are really missing out.  I love being a BzzAgent and being able to get first looks on opportunities like this and I've even convinced my fiance and my nephew to join as well.  They have both gotten some great stuff as well.

First there is a coupon for Garnier Fructis.  As I mentioned in a previous post I've been trying out some of their new formulas and am loving it so far.  When I get a new printer I'm definitely going to print this coupon out and use it.  Just click the following link and I'll be sharing this BzzAgent exclusive $1.25 coupon with you all.  Enjoy.

Next up BzzAgent sent me a link for Childrens Clariton.  As an adult that has been lucky enough to outgrow most of my childhood allergies I can really feel for those little ones that suffer from the sneezing, itchy eyes, and all around gookiness (yep I'm claiming that as a word) that comes along with spring time allergies.  Just click the following link and you should be redirected to a page for printing out this particular coupon.  Hope the kids feel better soon http://bricks.coupons.com/Bstart.asp?o=98462&c=MK&p=Kx4bhfSE

Thats all I have for right now but I'll be sure to post others as soon as I get them.  Happy clipping!!!

Garnier Fructis Here at Last!!!

For the past several weeks I've been waiting for my latest BzzAgent campaign product to arrive and yesterday it finally did.  BzzAgent offered me the opportunity to try out one of Garnier Fructis' new formulas.  I could choose between "Sleek and Shine" and "Triple Nutrition".  If you know me well then you know I also have issues with endless split ends so I went with the Triple Nutrition formula which endorsed itself as being ideal for dry and damaged hair (yep that would be what my hair is right now).  The information in the BzzKit and on the product packaging claims that I'll see an improvement in my hair within the first weeks use and I plan on putting that to the test.  I want my nice shiny healthy hair back and maybe this is just the product to do it.

I tried it out for the first time last night and I have to say that so far I'm pretty impressed.  First the scent is terrific!!!  Its subtle and fruity.  Second I was encouraged at how rich the formula was and how good it felt when in my hair.  I could feel the strands of hair being coated but not weighed down both by the shampoo and conditioner.  Also it takes very little product to work up a nice lather which isn't always the case in my house since we have the worlds hardest water.  The shampoo rinsed out cleanly and didn't leave any kind of a residue behind and the conditioner left my hair super smooth and easy to brush through.  NO TANGLES!!!  I didn't go through my usual motions of styling my hair and just let it dry naturally and I found that my hair was much softer than usual and stayed that way without get oily or frizzy or any other thing that it usually does.  Now of course this is only one days use and I have 6 more to see a difference like it claims but I have high hopes for this product!  I'll let you know how the remainder of the test goes.  Its ever so scientific.... lol.
