L'Oreal Challenge, Week 1, Day 4, BzzAgent Report


I was recently sent a trial set of L'Oreal Lash Boosting Mascara and Serum from BzzAgent. I received one each of the Concentrated Lash Boosted Serum and the Double Extend Lash Boosting Mascara. The challenge is to use the serum twice daily and the mascara daily for four weeks.

The mascara and serum should produce "visibly thicker, fuller, bare lashes that look multiplied" and have "less lash fall out". The mascara is double sided. The first step is a conditioner primer which will "prep lashes and boost their condition" and the mascara will give "80% longer lashes instantly".

My initial thought was that I was really hesitant because I am extremely loyal to my regular mascara (Mary Kay Ultimate) and I didn't really want to try a new product. But, I agreed to do it.

Here are my day one photos:

(I really hate having my photo taken!) These photos are before any use of the product and are with no make up on my eyes.

Here's what it looks like with the mascara on:


I have used the serum and mascara for 4 days now. I'm not sure if I'm seeing a difference in my "naked" lashes, but when the mascara is on, my lashes are longer, but still look pretty sparse. The system is extremely easy to use.

I will post a report weekly until the end of the challenge!

GM Cereals Alert!


I'm excited to share some great news for cereal lovers.

General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain.

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children´s diets.

Other cereal benefits:
  • Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets.

  • Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today.

  • More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.
Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office.


(Info courtesy of General Mills)

We are big cereal eaters! I eat cereal every morning and my son and husband snack on dry cereals. I have been hesitant to buy anything other than Cheerios and Kix for my kiddo though because of the amount of sugar in most cereals. (We heavily monitor his sugar intake because of behavior issues.)

That being said, I'm so happy that General Mills has committed to reducing sugar in it's cereals while increasing the vitamins and minerals that are so important to development.

General Mills sent me 4 VIP coupons for FREE GM cereals to test the new cereals. I bought one typically higher sugar cereal (Cinnamon Toast Crunch) and then wimped out and bought Cheerios and two types of Chex for us to try.

We're two days into the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and my son's behavior hasn't changed!

That is a winner for me! I will continue to branch out what we serve to him and they will be General Mills cereals because of the lower sugar content!

The opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own and I have not received monetary compensation for them. I did receive 4 free coupons, coupon link, and information from General Mills.The coupons did not change my opinion.

Eat From the Pantry Challenge


I've seen several bloggers mention this lately so I decided to take the Challenge!

Our rules are:

1. As much as possible comes from already bought foods.

2. One grocery trip per week for fresh items (meats, produce, dairy) and formula.

3. Only items that are FREE will be bought at CVS and Walgreens.

4. Spend less than $150 on food (formula kicks up the amount) in January. (Separate $50 budget for Pull-Ups, with the hope that this is the last month we have to buy them!)

I started looking through our pantry and freezer and can only make 16 dinners out of what we have. Post-partum blahs have depleted a lot of stockpile.

I will personally eat cereal every morning and our lunches will be sandwiches, soups, and quick meals with things we already have.

I'll have to get creative with the rest of the month and may end up having to up the budget a bit. I'll post a menu for the week every Monday, along with a "how-we're-doing" update.

Let me know if you want to take the challenge too!

Since the 1st isn't a Monday, here's what we have for the 1st-3rd:

Friday - Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Green Beans (meat sauce was power cooked before I gave birth) - no shopping necessary

Saturday - Tortellini with Meat Sauce and Green Beans (I know...same meal two days in a row, but the sauce is enough for two days and I'm not sure if it'll last for me to make the meals a few days apart. My family won't mind at all!) - no shopping necessary

Sunday - Casserole, only need 1 lb beef!

Go here to see the original challenge and see what others are doing to meet it!

Merry Christmas

I've been so busy the past few weeks with the new baby I've really been neglecting the blog. This will likely continue until the new year, sorry...

Well, tomorrow is Christmas. I wish you all a happy, warm holiday. Here, it's snowing! I know, in TEXAS!!! It started this morning and started sticking about 3 hours ago. We're up to about 3 inches now. Wind is blowing 30+ MPH and we can't really get out and enjoy it yet.

This is my (covered) porch. I didn't even make it out the door to take pictures:

This is the bush under the covered part of the roof:
The view from just inside my door (I'm not going out in that!):


So, from my family to yours: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Let's hope that 2010 is a good year for freebies, thrifty living and most importantly, family fun!

The Lightkeeper's Daughter, A Book Review

The Lightkeeper's Daughter
By Colleen Coble

Young Addie Sullivan’s life is turned upside down when a stranger claims she is a relative of his and takes her away to discover the truth of her heritage while posing as a teacher in her potential family’s home. While there, she learns about true acceptance, true love and that people are not always what they seem. She also learns to rely on God to determine her path and learns to listen to His guidance even when her circumstances seem to dictate another course.

The story has the right mix of mystery, romance and suspense. I had a hard time putting it down. Some of the characters are formulaic and others are not fully developed, but the story is so engaging, you won’t care!

I’ve never read much Christian romance/mystery before, but after this novel, I think I’ll start reading it a lot more. It was a great escape.


I am a member of Thomas Nelson’s Book Review Blogger program. I received no monetary compensation for my opinions. A copy of the book was provided for me to read, in exchange for my honest opinions of the book. Go here to learn more about the program: http://brb.thomasnelson.com/

Are you getting a Wii for Christmas?

Hold off on buying, if you can...go here to see an exciting announcement from Wal Mart! I expect Amazon to match it. We've been discussing using Christmas money from parents to get the Wii and Wii Fit systems. Maybe now we will!

"Beginning this Saturday, Dec. 5 at 8 a.m. through Dec. 12, Walmart will offer a $50 Walmart Gift Card immediately after the purchase of the $199 Wii console. The card can be used on the very next purchase or at any future purchase at any Walmart store.*"

Sounds like it's only good in store though...that may be a deal breaker.

Excedrin Sample

*This deal seems to be dead now*

Go here to get a free sample of Excedrin from Sam's Club. You do not have to be a member. I like to put the little medicine samplers in the first aid kit in the car! Sure could use it right now!

Jack in the Box goodie!


Money Saving Mom has a post here about 1/2 price Jack in the Box shakes. Judging by the flavors on the photo, I'll be passing. I agree with her, call your store first to make sure they're a participating location.

Amazon Free Christmas Download


Today's song is Snow Angel by Tori Amos. Not my style, but it may be yours...

Is it just me, or does her face look strange???

Free Tote Bag

You can go here to try for a free tote bag courtesy of Martha Stewart and Aveeno. Supplies are limited so they'll go fast!

Thanks Freebie Blogger!

Another 2010 Calendar!


Go here to get a free 2010 Pillsbury Calendar. You have to be a new member to their newsletters.




Thanks Freebie Blogger!
