Confessions of a Caffeine Addict

I was so excited to get into the campaign for BzzAgent Green Mountain Fair Trade coffee. I love my coffee in the morning to wake up!

The entire idea of fair trade was a little confusing at first because I had never heard the term before. If you do not know the term the basic definition is an organized social movement aiming to help producers in under developed countries make better trading conditions and promote sustainability. In doing so the farmer or goods producers get a fair amount for their products and helps them to build better communities for the future.

My BzzKit included 4 different flavors of coffee and a few coupons to pass out to my friends and family so they could try the products for themselves. The K-Cup lids were such a vibrant spring green color and it distinguished these 'special' coffees from my regular everyday blends.

I tried all 4 flavors on different days to see how I felt about each one. I also tried them at different times of the day dependent upon my feelings at the time.

Sumatran Reserve was excellent when I needed a bolder taste and stronger scent, Vermont Country Blend and Columbian Fair Trade Select were great mid-day blends when you wanted the coffee but not the high-test kick you usually need when you wake up, and Wild Mountain Blueberry was mild and soothing either with breakfast or mid-morning.

Each flavor was distinctive and had a smooth finish. There was no bitterness and the coffee taste did not linger after I had finished.

My favorite flavor of the 4 was the Wild Mountain Blueberry . If you are a coffee lover then these Green Mountain blends are a conscientious way to have your coffee and help the growers and the environment all at once.

Rapid Release Pain Relief That Works

I love sampling products that I know come from trusted brands and from a site that comes through with lots of awesomeness. I am talking about Crowdtap with whom I have been a loyal user of for a few years now. This newest sampling is a brand you may be familiar with as I have written about it before a few years ago. I am talking about Advil. This product is a Rapid Release formula and makes it their fastest acting Advil to date. I received my samples recently and funnily enough immediately following a short stay in hospital for a pain related malady. Coincidence? Maybe fate was looking down? Either way it was pretty incidental. The samples were such a relief because I choose not to take prescription painkillers unless absolutely supremely necessary. The way I was feeling at that moment was that I know Advil has worked in the past and I was hoping it would work this time too. I would have been disappointed not to be able to bounce back a little q...

Spritz'n Clean Amazing Ion Phone Cleaner

I really like this product. Cell phones and tablets are among the dirtiest technology that we cannot live without these days. Do you realize that if you do not clean the screens of the units and continue to use them you are just piling on the germs and spreading them around? If the unit touches your skin on your face when you are using it the germs make contact and this is a perfect a Not to mention the natural oils in your hands smudge the screens and make them unreadable. This is a great product for taking care of those nasty devices and ensuring you get a shiny screen and no germs to spread. You fill the chamber with the cleaning liquid and it comes out in an ionized fine mist on the screen. You use the special MicroChamois that is infused with silver to wipe the screen. Silver is known to have antimicrobial/antibacterial properties. That's it. It could not be simpler and it works! You get a nice carrying case for the device and a nice pouc...

This is a beautiful bar accessory - this cocktail shaker set. I heart it for several reasons. 1) Stainless steel is becoming ever more popular these days in kitchen gadgets and accessories. My household is moving to that genre so I thought this would be a nice set would be a nice start to that in my household. 2) It is not just the shaker that makes this it is also the jigger measure that comes with it in order to measure out 1/2 oz and 1 oz of additives for more precise cocktails. There are also 2 pour spouts which are a great bonus that will ensure the drinks have the right amount of liquor and taste awesome! The set comes boxed nicely. Inside there is a black velour bag and each piece of the set is packaged in plastic so there are no scratches. The bag is a plus because you can take it with you on the go if your friends don't have a fully stocked set of bar accessories. It also is easy to store it back in the bag which will preserve the beautiful look of ...
