Yea! Finally doing a Bzzagent Campaign!

My first campaign and it's with something I am REALLY excited about!

I can't wait to try this item. I have seen their line of Olay items prior at my local CVS and always wanted to try it. I currently use CG Smoothers for a moisturizer first, then Avon Anew eye cream, followed by Cover Girl Tru Blend foundation #440 followed by Cover Girl's Tru Blend Pressed Powder Daily! I really like make up itself; playing with new looks and such. I beleive my best feature (face) is my eyes. I have skin problems I developed in my 20's with redness prevailing daily. Example, I applied my usual make up at 7:30 AM and now my redness is showing through. I hate reapplying (mostly because I tend to break out) and many times I just don't; though I love to look good (not only for my wonderful husband but I do like people to do a double take in a good way).
What kind of challenge can I face with this:
Will it make me break out?
Will it show fine lines?
Will the application show the redness through the day?
Will I fall in love with this product?
I hate my picture taken.... Can I do it?!?

Birthday Freebees!

I like free.... I have to admit. Free is always the best price, I say. Though in North Eastern Ohio it is extremely rare/difficult to acheive. We don't have the stores like Kroger and such to accomplish what these extreme couponers on TV do and the Super K here is not that great for those savings as well. I alwyas gauge my savigns on coupon oppertunities if they save me 60% or more! I also have some rebates I am waiting on as well, and will be getting one for alchol for our cook out, soon.

So back to my freebees.... I got a free burger from Ruby Tuesday and a free Entree from Bravo (I also have a gift card from Bravo to use)....

Maybe we just may be going out to eat soon... Who knows....

One hot day.... And I don't want to eat!

The 1st Birthday event goes on! I am in the last stages of purchasing for Emily's party/cook out. I am now worried, after seeing the family's last event pictures from in Youngstown. I am noticing how well off much of the family is compared to myself and I am worried (to myself) that I will not be able to compare to everyone. I am not making this a competition or challenge in any way, nor do I care that I am not as affluent as they are. I know where I am in my life is 100x better than where I was 7 years ago! Not forgetting that I have found the happiness in my life now. I only think to myself when they see my home, they don't see it for the happiness it has with in. Happiness is not found with in what money can produce.

So I have to purchase hay bales yet, a couple grocery items and I still have to order Emily's cake. I am now thinking since I am making cup cake ice-cream cones I can/will order a smaller birthday cake; not only saving money but making more sense.

Today, in the heat that this day produced my mother in law, both my daughters, Anna and myself trekked to our favorite salvage stores to stock up for the party and our homes. I got some fantastic deals and even managed to hit a couple garage sales as well.

Now I am scrambling to make some sort of dinner (at 7:00 PM) which I really have no hunger for. So dang difficult when you are not hungry! Making some sort of concoction with chicken, because that is the only thing I have thawed...


And the baby cries.....
