BuzzAgent Bev: Thoughts & new campaign

I finally received a new campaign request and I am really excited about this.

Reason I am excited about Children's Claritin is because I have not only suffered with allergies affecting my asthma but my 17 year old son also has very bad allergies. What's worse is I am starting to suspect my 2 year old baby girl is starting to show symptoms of allergies with a consistent itching of her nose. I realize this isn't much and most pediatricians will not do anything to help "with out a history" of symptoms but I learned with my older two children that sometimes you HAVE TO go with your motherly instinct. I am very pleased with past results for myself and my son when he was much younger, with the Claritin brand name and so I put trust in the care of my littlest one. I look forward to sharing results as the campaign starts with the receipt of my BzzAgent kit and free sample of Children's Claritin.

Here is more info to read up on:

Powerful all-day relief

Children’s Claritin® is the only over-the-counter children’s brand that provides powerful 24 hour relief from seasonal allergens and indoor allergens – including dust, mold and pet dander – without making your child jittery or drowsy.1 What’s more, it’s the #1 Pediatrician Recommended Non-Drowsy Brand — an important fact to note when choosing medication for your child. Children’s Claritin® Grape Syrup can help kids focus on being a kid again, and not on their allergies.

On another note:
RANT WARNING
 
I know the idea behind BzzReports dashboard showing currant campaigns is to inform BzzAgents of products they receive from major companies to sample and report on; sparking more interest in BzzReport. It also frustrates me the very same. I see other products I wish I could have tried/sampled/Buzzed about and wonder what I have or have not done to be a part of these items. I see products that are up, many times that I can decipher were items I was surveyed for and did not receive. I can understand why I was not chosen for these when I see what the products are after the fact. However when I see products that I would have been perfect for and NEVER received a survey for I can not understand what criteria I had to have to qualify. Much of this pondering comes from the fact that I am big into home cooking (a virtuoso of the foodie world if you will). Here are two current examples:



 
I have cooked many times with pierogies and other brand sausages and I have wanted to try others, such as Johnsonville. I get coupons for these many times, clip and never really use. Reason for that is because they are never on sale. Only Hillshire Farms. Thus I have would have loved to try this campaign.
Mrs. T's, I have tried before but only purchase when they are on sale and I have coupons; mostly because I have found store brands such as Giant Eagles version and Aldi's version to be tasty as well and cheaper when there is no sale.
 
Why oh why?

A new QUIET spell....

WOW! Is it me?! I am on my last trial as a BzzAgent and it was not a success. I haven't had any other offers in a while and am wondering why now. I was getting many for a while and now nothing, so I a wondering if this is a dry spell for BzzReports or is it just myself?! Well, not that I don't love the things they select and send me; I have REALLY enjoyed it and even recommended it to a friend who is now a BzzAgent.

I am constantly checking BzzReports, taking surveys and such... and waiting... Keeping hopeful.
