The Great UGLee Pen! Ergonomic Pen Review + Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Okay Readers.  Once again I am back doing a review and this time there is a giveaway to go with it!  This is for the UGLee Pen. You ask What is an UGLee Pen?  It is an ergonomic pen created for writers by a real physician Dr. James Lee who did lots of research on wrist and hand pain from writing. I decided to try this comfort pen because I am always scribbling notes or writing something and always feel like my hand is not comfortable with my writing utensil and I have spent lots of money on so called ergonomic pens and have not found that they felt any different than standard writing tools.  When I received this pen I saw the differences immediately just from the look of it.  The feeling on the grip was comfortable and the pen was very lighweight.  When I started writing the ink flowed smoothly and I was able to continually write for a short while until I reached the bottom of my page without any discomfort.  So you c

A Sweeter Sweetener - Truvia

So once again I am working to review a product that I actually never thought I would use.  I am a purist - sugar sugar sugar, that's it for me.  I have to have sugar.  The other packets in multiple colors that you would find in delicatessens, coffee shops etc.  just do not cut it for me. A friend of mine was telling me that she found Truvia and that it might be a good idea if I try it.  I was given a product sample by the nice folks over at Crowdtap so I could provide my opinion. I have coffee once a day - morning.  The caffeine is bad later on for my metabolism.  I also have to have it 'light and sweet'.  For the coffee connoisseurs that means milk and sugar.  I figured today would be  good day to try the new sweetener, so I asked for a coffee light and told the counter person I would add my own sugars. I found that the product dissolved completely and immediately after putting it in my coffee.  I know this because I only use clear coffee mugs and there wa

Veggie Burgers - Boring or Bold???

Product review time again... For all of you that know me in real life then you know I am strictly a meat and potatoes woman.  I hardly ever try new foods and new cuisines as it is all 'Greek to me', if you will forgive the pun. When I got into the BzzAgent campaign for MorningStar Farm vegetable products, I just figured that maybe, just maybe I needed to try something different. I had heard from other people at various times in recent months how many different varieties of product there are in the 'meatless' category and how the brand of MorningStar was one of the better brands available. When I received my BzzKit with coupons, it just so happened that it was also shopping day.  I went to my local supermarket and was happy to see that I could purchase the item to try it in my regular store and that it was not a specialty item that was hard to find in a local supermarket. I chose the Tomato Basil Pizza Veggie Burgers because I love anything with an Ita

Color your Lips Happy with BlastFlipStick

So once again BzzAgent comes through with a remarkable product to test. I have never been much of a girly-girl worrying about makeup and fashion but my lips always had to be perfect. After all you never knew if you were going to kiss or be kissed. I received my Bzz kit with 3 different shades and was pleasantly surprised at the over all look of the Cover Girl BlastFlipstick and how different the packaging is from most other lipsticks.  I like the fact that you can mix the two shades or wear either one separate from the other. The range of shades available vary from a really light natural look to bright red and deep brown hues.  The hues on the opposite side range from pale pinks to shimmery golds. These looks will never go out of style no matter what the fashion trends range from or change to.  The product goes on smoothly and stays put. I found that my lips stayed moisturized and soft while wearing the product and even after I removed it using my favorite cleansers. I w
