Crowdtap: Woolite Sample & Share

This month I was lucky enough to be selected to participate in Crowdtap's Woolite Sample and Share! I received 10 samples along with 10 coupons to save $1.00 on any Woolite Detergent 50 oz. or larger to share with my friends and family.

This sample and share was all about Woolite's new Woolite Everyday detergent that is meant to be used everyday! It is said to clean and care for fabrics while keeping colors bright and preventing items from shrinking or stretching.

Thanks to Crowdtap, I have had a chance to sample Woolite in the past. I have experience with Woolite's Extra Dark Care detergent and use it every time I wash my jeans or anything dark. It smells really good and I have had good results while using it. My jeans all look really great and hold their shape and color!

Because of my past experience, I knew that the Woolite Everyday detergent would be a really good product to test. It smells just as great as the extra dark care version and the scent is fresh and never overwhelming. I used it on a load of clothes earlier and they came out smelling really nice and looking great! So far, I am very happy with the results. I'm going to continue to use it over time and compare it to the detergent I usually use, which is All Free and Clear.

**Thanks to CrowdTap and Woolite, I was able to try Woolite Everyday detergent and hand out samples and coupons to my friends and family. All opinions are mine alone and I was not paid for this post.

BzzAgent Glade Expressions Campaign

I was recently selected to participate in the BzzAgent Glade Expressions Campaign! Now for those who do not know what BzzAgent is, it's a fun site that allows you to participate in campaigns for products that you get to test for free! You get coupons or samples to give to others and you review the products. I'll be posting all my reviews here, so be on the look out for more as I'm selected for new campaigns. I'm currently in 5! :)

This particular campaign was all about the new Glade Expressions Collection. It's all about their new line of sophisticated fragrances that not only fill the air with great scent but also allow you to display them in nice holders.



When my package arrived, it came with a letter detailing the campaign and a booklet with over 20 coupons! I got a coupon for a free Oil Diffuser Starter Kit and a free Fragrance Mist Starter Kit. The other coupons were for $4 off any Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser starter kit and $2 off any Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist starter kit. Over $71 in savings!

After receiving the coupons, I decided to go to Target (it's really close to work) and redeem my coupons. With the oil diffuser kit, there are only 3 fragrances - Pineapple & Mangosteen, Lavender & Juniper Berry, and Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice. I smelled all three and had a hard time deciding which one I wanted. I eventually decided on the Pineapple & Mangosteen because I'm usually drawn to fruity smells and I thought this fit perfectly. With the fragrance mist starter kit, there are more smells available - the 3 fragrances mentioned and also their spring collection fragrances - Garden Sunshine, Spring Showers, Starlit Evening, and Vibrant Bloom. I decided to get Pineapple & Mangosteen as well, so it'd match my oil diffuser. They are pictured below in their original packaging.

The oil diffuser starter kit comes with 1 Bamboo Holder, 1 Diffuser Card, and 1 Oil Bottle. I really like the bamboo holder design. It has these really cute cut outs in it and it goes well with my decor. It's so neutral that it would look good anywhere. The fragrance mist starter kit comes with the holder and refill inside. The cool part about the holder is you can take the packaging off of it and it is plain white. The bottom screws off and you can add another refill inside of it when it runs out! Super nifty way to keep it looking chic. I have the holders pictured below after I took them out of packaging. I decided to put my oil diffuser holder on my fireplace mantel. It looks really nice :)

Besides the really nice designs, I also really like the scent I got. It's a light fruity scent. Reminds me of those pineapple tropical drinks you can get at the beach lol. I've always liked pineapple, so I think that was why I was drawn to the Pineapple & Mangosteen fragrance. I sprayed the spray 2 times in my living room about 3 hours ago and I can still smell it like it was just sprayed, so I have to say the lasting power is excellent. The oil diffuser seems to be working quite well too. Since today is the first day I've used it, I'm not sure if it will hold up to lasting 30 days as guaranteed, but we'll see :)

So far, I love the products! They smell great, look great, and seem to be long lasting. I can't wait to try other fragrances.

I'm a BzzAgent and I received a product sample, coupon, collateral or other special premium from BzzAgent.

Thanks Bzzagent and Glade!

Old Navy Style Council - Dress Sample and Share

I am very lucky to be a part of the Old Navy Style Council on Crowdtap! I am also very lucky to have had the opportunity to participate in the Old Navy Style Council dress Sample and Share. Thanks for picking me Old Navy! What does this mean, you ask? Well, I was picked to try on and sample an Old Navy dress for free! Yes, I said free :)! I was also allowed to distribute one of the coupons to my friend, Katie! We both were able to try on many different Old Navy dresses and pick one to keep for free! How great is that?

I was indeed very excited about this opportunity and tried on many different styles of dresses at my local Old Navy. They had shift dresses, sweater dresses, classic dresses, etc. Long sleeve, short sleeve, and tank to choose from as well. So many choices! I tried on 3 different styles - pictured below.

The first one was a cute sweater dress with a cowl neck. I liked it, but thought it was a bit too long and showed off too much of my trouble spot, which is my stomach. The second one I tried on was the 3/4 sleeve flared dress. I liked the fit but thought it looked too long on my frame. I'm only 5'4", so that usually happens. The third dress I tried on was the shift crepe dress. I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but figured I'd give it a shot. Once I put it on, I immediately loved the pattern, (not pictured above, but pictured below) and the fit! It was very flattering and kind of retro, which I liked. They had it in many patterns and solids too! I've decided to pair it with a belt and tights :) Here is a picture of me with it on...sorry about the poor photo quality.

My friend Katie also got to choose an Old Navy dress to sample! She and I have very similar tastes, so we tried on a few of the same dresses. She had already owned one of the flared dresses (same pattern as the one I pictured at the top of the post), so she decided to try on a bunch of the sweater dresses. She really liked the style of them, and decided to go with the black and gray striped one, pictured below. I think it looks great!

All in all, we were very pleased with the variety and style Old Navy had to offer! We had a great time trying on different styles and were very appreciative that Old Navy gave us the opportunity to participate in this fun event!

If you'd like a chance to possibly be a part in the Old Navy Style Council and get to do other fun things, join Crowdtap today! Believe me, you won't regret it :)

**Thanks to CrowdTap and the Old Navy Style Council, my friend and I were able to each take one Old Navy dress home for free.  All opinions are mine alone based off of my shopping experience and the dresses I reviewed.

I joined Shop at Home in February of this year. I loved the idea of being able to find coupons and get cash back for purchases I would already be making. It was like an extra bonus for my online shopping! I only make a few purchases a month, but by going through Shop at Home, I get cash back percentages from certain merchants and in the past 4-5 months I've gained $11.77 cash back! Now that doesn't sound like much, but if you think about it, it's $11.77 I wouldn't have had if I hadn't participated.

More Info:

Shop at Home

I just recently joined the website shopathome.com. It gives you a list of tons of sites (many you probably already shop with) and lets you know the percentage of cash back you can receive by shopping through the site! They also show you current coupons you can use for online and in store purchases. I've shopped with walmart, target, endless.com, wet seal, and many others and have earned cash back! It's worth checking out :)
