<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I recently got invited to try a new product called <b><a href="http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=33755616" target="_blank">GNC Total Lean Shake BURN</a></b> courtesy of GNC and <a href="http://bit.ly/VsHAcz" target="_blank"><b>Crowdtap</b></a>. If you know me you know I don't hit the gym much, but really enjoy running and doing in-home workouts. Recently in my weight loss journey I've hit a plateau so I was happy to mix it up a bit and try something new.<br />
<br />
I've never tried to boost my workouts with protein powder but, I'm willing to try it to get to my goal. According to the GNC Protein Number (88) I should be consuming 88g of protein daily. If you'd like to calculate your protein number you can find the GNC calculator here: <b><a href="http://www.gnclivewell.com/proteinnumber/?utm_source=gnclivewell.com&utm_medium=MainLanding&utm_campaign=LW_ProteinNumber#findpro" target="_blank">GNC Protein Calculator</a> </b> I should also mention that when you do find your protein number you can also receive a $10 off select GNC proteins coupon if you give them your email address.<br />

OK, enough of that and onto the results. I was hesitant when I received it that it would actually taste anything like "Chocolate Fudge", and more like chalk. However, I didn't think it was bad. It reminded me a lot of the powdered NesQuick as a kid... but mixed in water; instead of milk. Had I mixed it into milk I think I would've loved it.<br />

When you 1st try it, if you are new to it only do half a recommended serving until you know how your body will react. It took me a couple days to get comfortable with upping the serving. The first gave me crazy amounts of energy, but I was almost a little dizzy or spacey so I was afraid to go for a run with my head buzzing. The next day it wasn't nearly as bad. By the 4th day I felt completely comfortable and didn't really notice anything but the insane amount of energy I had. On day 5 I upped the ante and went up to a full dosage strength.<br />
<br />
I will say, that I'm glad I didn't stop after that first day. I had continued my workout regimen but hit a plateau at 149 pounds. I attribute the weight that I've lost in the last few weeks to the change-up in my protein intake since starting <b><a href="http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=33755616" target="_blank">GNC Lean Shake BURN</a></b>. I'm now down to 140 so I've lost 9 pounds which puts me so much closer to my target of 130# I can almost taste it. The <b><a href="http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=33755616" target="_blank">GNC Lean Shake BURN</a></b> is really great a curbing my appetite so I'm not finding myself craving donuts or wanting to eat anything I can find.<br />
<br />
My husband has been trying it with me as well. He says he can feel the difference and we both have noticed he's lost some pounds but he hasn't been keeping track like I have so I can't officially report his progress. All-in-all I found it to be a good product that I plan to keep up with. Once I hit my target goal I think I'll use it to maintain my target weight, or even see if I could go just a bit lower. I'm not sure if I'll try any of the other flavors since I'm happy with the chocolate fudge, but I know I'll find myself buying the "to go" bottles.<br />

Running. I have always been the type who have (literally) said, "I hate running! The only time I may actually even think about running is if someone scary is chasing after me... MAYBE I would run... Maybe!"<br />
<br />
Having a mom who can run circles around me and recently finished an Ironman triathlon made me figure if she can run 26 miles, swim 3.2 and bike 116 I should be able to run my younger butt a 5K!<br />
<br />
I started off the the Couch to 5K app (C25K) and 8 weeks later I was running 3.2 miles in 30 minutes! I even signed up to run my first 5K race so you can imagine how excited I was when I discovered I was accepted to sample some running products from <b><a href="http://www.shop.puma.com/collections/women/best-sellers/680002,en_US,sc.html" target="_blank">PUMA</a></b>!

I was a little worried about how the shoes would fit; since I didn't get to try them on first, I picked my size and they sent them. I saw lots of people complain about their shoes being a bit big, but as a runner (yes I can now call myself a runner) you want your shoes to have some room for swelling during a run & the shoes I got were perfect! From the warmup walk, to the run to the cool down I noticed a huge difference between those shoes and my previous pair! I actually felt like I could've kept on going (not usual for me).<br />
<br />
The shirt was actually different than I was expecting. I received a short sleeve shirt instead and a light long sleeve jacket (<b><a href="http://www.shop.puma.com/Pure-NightCat-Reflective-Running-Jacket/pna510619,en_US,pd.html&q=running%20jacket#!i%3D6%26color%3D01" target="_blank">PUMA Pure NightCat Reflective Running Jacket</a></b>). I have to say I love the jacket and shirt so much that I'm not bummed out at all about not getting the long sleeve shirt. The jacket is very reflective (great for the fall/winter shorter days), and the shirt feels so light I feel like I'm just running in my sports bra.<br />

The pants were pretty crazy when I got them. I was surprised by what I called "traction control" inside them. It essentially looks like little rubber tire treads inside the tights. It does make them a little more difficult to get on, but that may have more to do with the fact that they sent me a small & I could've used a medium. The treads are actually athletic tape strategically placed to actually massage your muscles as you run. I'm not sure how well they worked since it wasn't like a masseuse giving me a massage but I can say the 1 knee that usually gets achy about mid run hasn't bothered me. Not sure if it's that it just decided to quit fighting me, or the massaging tights, or the new shoes (I'm guessing the new shoes helped a lot though).</div>

This new gear really helped motivate me to keep going dispite the dropping temperature, and daylight hours here in Minnesota. I knew I wouldn't keep running outside in the cold so as of last week signed up for a gym membership that has lots of nice indoor treadmills!

Summer is what everyone looks forward too all winter long... until you realize you're about to head to the beach with a spare tire below your bikini tops, and above your bottoms. This year a friend of mine, Sheree and I have decided to try and get our winter guts under control before we bare it all at the beach. I have to say she's been doing awesome checking in at the YMCA at 4:30 am and listing her workout. I've been doing mostly in-home workouts, walking/jogging and eating better. Anyways, when <b><a href="http://www.oldnavy.com/" target="_blank">Old Navy</a></b> & *<b><a href="http://crowdtap.com/portal" target="_blank">Crowdtap</a> </b>granted me an amazing opportunity to head into my local Old-Navy to get some new <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/search.do?searchText=activewear" target="_blank"><b>Activewear</b></a>, I knew just who to bring!<br />
<br />
I asked Sheree to meet me in the store and wasn't real sure what she was coming for. When I busted out the coupons for a free Activewear outfit from Old Navy she couldn't hardly contain herself! She was planning a trip to Old Navy anyways because she loves their Activewear; as do I. I've been wearing it for a couple years now and from the beginner to the hardcore they're Activewear has you covered!<br />
<br />
Anyways, away we went to the area we needed to be and they have everything from shoes, to running shorts, to sports bras, capris, jackets, etc. The variety at our store was pretty good and we easily started picking things out here and there and adding them to the cart. We finally made our way to the dressing room and were both completely shocked when we needed to grab SMALLER sizes in everything we picked out. Granted we didn't loose any weight while being there but doesn't it always make you feel better when you can get a medium instead of a large or a small instead of a medium? I'm taking it!<br />
<br />
If you've never tried on Old Navy Activewear I highly recommend the Compression Pants. I can't say enough about those things. I still have a long way to go to get back to pre-pregnancy size but when I put those things on I feel like I'm tiny again. I literally get compliments from complete strangers everytime I wear them out and about. The mesh bubble tanks are my favorite this year and I love the bright colors available for summer. Yes, this too I wear running errands or wherever because I am obsessed with this top. It's actually one of my favorite tops right now.<br />

We both ended up walking out with 1 free top and bottom each and a couple extra outfits that the coupons wouldn't work with because they were on clearance! All-in-all it was so much fun and really helps motivate me to keep up the workouts because wearing. Activewear makes me want to <i><b>be </b></i>active!

I know what your thinking... cute swimsuit, right? Well, that's what I was thinking as soon as I saw it online! How lucky for me that I got to go into <a href="http://oldnavy.com/" target="_blank"><b>Old Navy</b></a> with 3 of my besties and get this swimsuit, flip flops, towel and beach bag FREE?!? Amazing. How? I'm a member of the <a href="http://oldnavy.com/" target="_blank"><b>Old Navy</b></a> Style Council on <a href="http://crowdtap.com/" target="_blank"><b>Crowdtap</b></a>. Occasionally they choose people to go in-store for a clothing sample and review the items they received and their in-store experience.<br />
<br />
This was an excellent opportunity and we had SO much fun trying out the different styles. If you haven't been to <b><a href="http://oldnavy.com/" target="_blank">Old Navy</a></b> swimsuit shopping yet, I highly suggest you check out their swimwear <b><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=95227&mlink=5151,6556993,HP_Major_1_W_OF&clink=6556993" target="_blank">here</a></b>. They had an amazing variety from 1 piece to tankini to bikini. If you weren't aware of their beach accessories you should check those out as well. I bought a few of their beach towels last year and it was no secret they were and still are my favorite!<br />

I had no idea what product they were going to send me aside from the fact that it was a 2-IN-1 shampoo/conditioner & body wash. It's the kind of thing I'd buy for hubby (who could care less about the hair under his baseball hat all day everyday) and something I'd immediately dismiss for my own use. But figured I'd at least stick to my word and give it a shot. After all, I'm a busy full-time mother of 2. I find it hard enough to find time to change my clothes let alone find enough shower time to shampoo, rinse, condition, rinse, body wash, rinse....<br />
<br />
A couple weeks ago I got the package at my door. Excited to see the brand and smell what I'd be showering with for the next 2 weeks (yes, I was going to stick it out for 2 weeks, good or bad before I gave a fair review). Having extremely long, blonde hair I'm very fussy about my hair products because if it doesn't work, I'll be spending all that extra shower time I saved trying to fix whatever it did to my hair each day.<br />

The box arrived shortly after being accepted. Here's what I found:<br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>Welcome Note</li>
<li>1 full sized bottle of Ivory 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash</li>
<li>3 coupons for $0.75 off 1 bottle of Ivory 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash</li>
</ul>
<div>
First things, first... the smell. I had nothing to go on yet aside from the smell since I'd already showered for the day and would start the next day. I gave it a quick sniff and can't say it was anything too overdone. It actually reminded me of a bar of soap. It wasn't real feminine like the products I'm used to, but not masculine either. It was a very clean scent though, one I could live with.<br />
<br />
The next day I threw caution to the wind and grabbed it quick before I hit the shower. I was in a hurry anyways so I was really hoping it would cut my shower time down. When I put some in my hand I was surpised it didn't lather quite as much as usual shampoo, but then again it was supposed to be different. Rubbing it in my hair I thought felt a bit odd, but soon enough after a quick washdown and rinse I'd cut my shower time in half (impressive since I usually have to take fast showers anyways, as my 2-year-old allows me little to no privacy).</div>
<div>
<br />
Rinsing my hair felt clean and ready to go. A quick towel off and I felt fresh head-to-toe. Brushing my hair I have to say wasn't quite as easy as when I use my normal product, but it was much easier then after I use those shampooing conditioner bottles you find in hotels. A quick spritz with my detangling spray and I was set.<br />
<br />
I have to say, once my hair dried I was FLOORED! I don't remember the last time my hair was so shiny... yes, actually I do. After the last visit to the salon! I figured for sure that first trial had to be a fluke, surely it must have been the detangler that I sprayed in my hair. I made a mental note to brush through the mess the next day with no detangler. That seemed to work fine anyways because I didn't seem to need it as much the next day (maybe I just had awful bed head the first day)? Later, my hair dried... it sounds so egotistical of me and self centered but it was a sunny day and I had the sunroof open and with the sun shining in on my hair I could NOT stop looking at it.<br />
<br />
My mom happened to be visiting and not wanting her to think I was a total ego maniac I told her what'd been going on and I was using the new Ivory 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash. Apparently she was intrigued and very excited when I said it was made by Ivory. She said, "Really? Ivory? That means it's affordable too!" Later she was headed to the gym and I caught her sneaking some from my bottle into her portable shampoo holder. She said she was out of shampoo and figured the gym (where she's always in a hurry to shower) would be the perfect place to try. She returned raving about it and telling me I had to give her one of my coupons.<br />

I've been thinking that for awhile; in fact each time I'd spritz myself with my Body Splash. I know it's time for a perfume and really need a change from the same-ol-same-ol. My ever dying love of Body Splash vs perfume has gone on far too long. But I have the biggest fear of being one of "the perfume girls" you know the ones that you and walk down an isle in the store 2 minutes after them and can still smell their scent. Or the ones that your by in the checkout that make your nose run and your eyes water. I've been addicted to Body Splash for fear that a perfume would be too much.</span>
<br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span>
Enter<b> <a href="http://bit.ly/iPkw2Q" target="_blank">Crowdtap</a></b>! They gave me an AMAZING opportunity to host a party featuring <b><span style="color: red;">D</span>O<span style="color: red;">T</span></b> by Marc Jacobs. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical of anything that was labeled, "Perfume." It's always been my experience that I thought they smelt a bit too much like my Grandma's perfume. Boy! Was I surprised!!!<br />
<br />
First off, the bottle. I know you love it! What's not to love. I have a black & red bedroom and was SO excited to display this bottle unlike my Body Splash I have to hide. When my <b><span style="color: red;">D</span>O<span style="color: red;">T</span></b> party started I lost track of how many people just got excited over the design of the bottle. I do have to say it's great marketing. Everyone that owns this perfume will leave it sitting out for guests to see. Guests see it, think their host smells good and know exactly what she's wearing by the cute bottle they are drawn into look at. Therefore creating more sales. Genius!<br />

My friend Holly was already familiar with Marc Jacobs and currently wears Daisy. She was excited to try another scent from Marc Jacobs and fell in love instantly. Last I talked with her about it she's been alternating <b><span style="color: red;">D</span>O<span style="color: red;">T</span></b> with Daisy depending on her "feel" for the day.<br />
<br />
I tried it up against the most important critic in my life (aside from myself); my husband. I gave myself a small spritz and shortly after went and snuggled up next to him so that I knew he'd be exposed to the scent. It didn't take long until he said, "You smell good." That's all it took for me.... SOLD! I like it and hubby likes it. That's all that matters.<br />
<br />
Though I do need to share my 5-year-old son's reaction. He saw me dressed up in my black button down with my red tank underneath my dark jeans, red belt, red shoes and the red & black polka-dot headband from Marc Jacobs. He then saw the table setup for the party with the bottles displayed and said, "Are you having a ladybug party?" I said, "Something like that" (just to spare the drawn out explanation to a 5-year-old) and proceeded to tell him it was for a perfume. His reply, "Can I smell it? I've always wondered what a ladybug smells like!" I couldn't stop laughing. I told him I was wearing it, he smelled me and said, "I guess I like how ladybugs smell, Mom. You smell good."<br />

I'm sure by now you've seen the commercials and herd about the, "Cottonelle Clean Care Routine" and probably giggled at the advertisements much like me. But have you actually thought about the point they're trying to covey? I can't say I really had until I got the chance to give the Cottonelle Clean Care Routine a shot for free thanks to Cottonelle & Crowdtap.<br />
<br />
They sent me:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>18 roll pack of Cottonelle Clean Care toilet tissue</li>
<li>2 - 4 roll packs of Cottonelle Clean Care toilet tissue</li>
<li>3 packs of Cottonelle Flushable Moist Wipes</li>
</ul>

<br />
<br />
<br />
The idea behind it actually a basic and something that most people already know. Cleaning with water, is better then cleaning without. Think about it, when you have a child do you pull out the regular toilet tissue... nope. We want to make sure their little bottoms are extra clean to prevent any rashes. It's the same concept, applied to everyone though, including adults.<br />
<br />
I gave out a 4-pack of toilet paper & flushable wipes to my mom and a package to my brother. Neither of them were familiar with the Cottonelle Clean Care Routine. Once I enlightened them it seemed to make sense but my mom, a loyal Charmin Extra Soft user was hesitant and my brother seemed a bit reserved but agreed that it made sense.<br />
<br />
Flash forward a couple weeks later and I asked them about their experience...<br />
<br />
My mom was pleasantly surprised by the toilet tissue thickness and quality. She didn't think it was stiff, but being an Extra Soft kinda girl said she'd actually keep using Cottonelle and ditch the expensive Charmin and try the Cottonelle Soft. She also said she enjoyed the wipes so much that she purchased an additional package for the car for those long road trips. As for my brother, he didn't go into much detail but did said he'd most likely purchase more of the Flushable Moist Wipes.<br />
<br />
As for me, I have tried them before and used them often for camping. Having these on the back of my toilet has been awesome though! Having an soon-to-be 6-year-old who is still having wiping issues was getting old, and he was getting old for having the problems still. He would either not wipe, or he would be wetting down large amounts of toilet paper and using that (which resulted in LOTS of clogged toilets). I introduced him to these and his initial reaction was that he was using "baby wipes." I reassured them that these were for big kids & adults and I haven't dealt with a clogged toilet since and I haven't had to worry about him ignoring the wiping process either! I've also been potty training my 2-year-old and having them handy makes things SO much easier then running to find baby wipes after each of her potty breaks.<br />

Being a stay-at-home mom now I don't wear much for dress clothes or "clubbing" clothes. The stuff I did have was all pre-babies and just didn't fit me right. Thanks to <b><a href="http://www.woolite.com/" target="_blank">Woolite</a></b> and <b><a href="http://bit.ly/iPkw2Q" target="_blank">Crowdtap</a></b> they gave us a great idea doing an, "In-Home Boutique - the idea is simple, everyone brings some clothes and accessories that they no longer use (I know everyone had SOMETHING that sat in the back of the closet).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We separated items by sizes. Since we had a lot of girls there we had lots of stuff for everyone. We then used one of the dressers to lay out all of the accessories (purses, necklaces, scarves and bracelets). After we organized everything we all tried on clothes and helped each other make outfits for the evening. It was a huge success and we had LOTS of fun making outfits. I wish I'd drank a bit less though so I had remembered to take pictures.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Woolite was kind enough to give me free samples for the ladies and a gift card that I used to buy each of them a mini laundry basket to put their goodies in. After selecting our outfits we got ready for our night out. I got this really cute pink, grey & black sweater & this black Lia Sophia necklace! My sweater wasn't even used, she'd bought the wrong size and was unable to return it. Sarah (on the right) got this black & silver shirt and a cute little black clutch purse!<br />

The next morning we woke and went through the items one more time for anything else that people wanted. The items that didn't get picked by anyone I dropped off at our local thrift store on my way home. If you haven't herd of these kinds of parties, I highly suggest you try it! We had SO much fun digging though each other's clothes and we all got a new outfit out of it. The best part is everyone had a laundry basket to carry their dirty clothes out of the room along with a sample of Woolite to wash them in!

It's spring time again... though you'd never know it by looking out your window here in Minnesota when you see the fresh 6" of snow blanketing everything.

We arrived in our local <b><a href="http://oldnvy.me/Y68ZMF" target="_blank">Old Navy</a></b> store right around 6:00 pm and got right down to business throwing every variety of shirt we could find in our carts! After about 30 - 45 minutes it was off to the dressing rooms. There was a wonderful girl working the changing area named Meghan. She was extremely helpful, and knowledgeable In conversation we were surprised to find out she was new!</div>

After trying on LOTS of shirts and bringing home LOTS of extra finds, we left the store a few minutes before they closed at 9:00. We had so much fun and hope I get another excellent opportunity sometime to do it again.

I was extremley excited when I was lucky enough to be chosen to host a party from Verizon Insider. Crowdtap & Verizon provided me with a HTC Microsoft Windows 8X phone and a month of service to try it out and share.<br />
<br />
First off, I love technology. I always love to be the first to try something and couldn't help but jump up and down when this phone arrived at my door! The design is amazing and I cannot believe how light this phone is and it feels nice to hold. I, by no means am a professional at reviewing technology but read a lot of reviews of the phone to familiarize myself with it before it arrived. I decided after using it for a month I wanted to do the same because over my use of it I learned a few things that I didn't see on the others' posts:<br />
<br />
<b>DISPLAY</b>:<br />
The display of this phone is beautiful and the colors really pop. I love that the display automatically adjusts to what the current lighting is. Even in the dark the brightness setting isn't overpowering and makes nighttime viewing a pleasure. The main page of the phone is customizable with whatever you want to "pin" to the home screen. The screen will also scroll down so you don't have to keep everything on the main page, you can still have items pinned lower that you can still easily find.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaAIRAWibiLoCHSt3R3W_Bo7-7rQ6NW3O62NFUF90JOJgQsDCtVLqYxea5miRKdRgTc1nSkx2T7kIN09xTA-PH6HkwlFvfc0nFXYCwuLUVDwfQfa_-w-lCXdONkn46BhyphenhyphenF8h8gLPU-H4FA/s1600/IMAG1868.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaAIRAWibiLoCHSt3R3W_Bo7-7rQ6NW3O62NFUF90JOJgQsDCtVLqYxea5miRKdRgTc1nSkx2T7kIN09xTA-PH6HkwlFvfc0nFXYCwuLUVDwfQfa_-w-lCXdONkn46BhyphenhyphenF8h8gLPU-H4FA/s1600/IMAG1868.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is what the phone looks like straight out of the box</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Not only can you pin what you would like to your homepage, you can also adjust the size, location and color. You notice all the pictures, that is all of my contacts. It finds their Facebook pictures and flips through them randomly (that's my favorite tile).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>CAMERA:</b><br />
Having 2 kids a camera is a huge necessity on my phone. The camera is fantastic! My favorite features has to be the fact that you can start the camera even when the phone is in the locked position. I no longer miss those pictures that I usually would unlocking the phone and starting the camera.<br />
<br />
<b>NFL NETWORK:</b><br />
I had NO idea I could watch live streaming NFL games on this phone! I literally watched the Superbowl while giving my 2 kids a bath. You can also pic you favorite team and receive alerts when there is breaking news about that team.<br />
<br />
<b>BLUETOOTH & SYNC:</b><br />
I drive a 2008 Ford Fusion and I connected the phone via Bluetooth to my in-car Sync system. While I can usually tell it who to call and hear the calls over my speaker system I was blown away by what I could do on this phone. I was extremely surprised when I was driving down the road and my music paused to tell me that I'd received a message from a friend and asked me if I'd like it to read it. I accepted and the message was read to me! After the message was read I was able to just speak and reply! It didn't matter if the message was a text or a Facebook message. I should mention that I was not driving during this video. I was safely parked in my driveway!<br />

<br />
Not only can I text while driving without looking at my phone, but I can also play the music off of my phone.<br />

What were we doing? We were exploring the huge line of Durex products (yes, that Durex). If you didn't know, Durex offers much, much more then condoms and thanks to them and Crowdtap I got a huge box of lots of samples to hand out to my gal pals.<br />
<br />
We started off with some sex themed foods: BBQ wieners sausage, nuts, meat tray, red velvet cupcakes, kisses, and chocolate covered strawberries & marshmallows. This was my first attempt at chocolate covered anything and as much as I love chocolate covered strawberries, the marshmallows were amazing and really got gobbled up!<br />
<br />
After the food we got to the products that I received. When I say I got a huge box of stuff; I mean it. Here's a picture of the contents...<br />

<b><br /></b>
We played a bunch of games and everyone walked out with a big bag full of stuff. We decided it looked like we'd looted a sex store. I think there will be lots of happy people walking around my town, especially after Valentine's Day (a few of the ladies were saving their goodies for V-Day night).<br />

We
were talking the other day to some old friends who mentioned they couldn't believe my husband and I were still together. I started thinking about it and I
turned 32 in December, I was 16 when we began dating. Then it hit me... I’d been
with my husband half of my life! Sounds crazy to think...<br />
<br />One
thing that helps keep us together is switching things up a bit... thanks to
Durex and Crowdtap for providing a large list of things to spice things up. I
applied to become a “Sexplorer” on Crowdtap (if you don’t know who Crowdtap is
you can find out at the bottom). Basically, Durex sends me a bunch of stuff to
hand out to friends, we try them out and I report back with what we thought
about the items.<br />
<br />This
time, I did things a little differently. While I have a huge open line of
communication with my friends about sex, I wanted to get different feedback from
a different group of people. We were invited to a close friends’ New Years Party
and I volunteered to bring the “party favors.” My husband was accepted to the
Sexplorer program as well – I hadn't even known he’d applied so we ended up with
LOTS of samples. We decided we would put stickers on the boxes asking for
people’s feedback via email or text on what they thought about the products they
tried. So we printed up stickers, placed them on the various boxes and set all
the samples in a basket on one of the main tables at the party and hoped for the
best. I wasn't sure with so many people drinking how the test would go, if
people would grab them. If they did would they actually willingly email/text a
stranger to tell them about the products they tried? All we could do was wait
and hope...<br />
<br />
New Years Day, I got my first reply via email*:<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Thanks
a lot for the condoms. Came in handy and she appreciated the warmer lube and the ring. Let me know if you need me to test anything else for you."</blockquote>
<br />
Then a text:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Samples were great loved that ring!"</blockquote>
<br />
Then another...<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Thank you SOOOOOOmuch for the lubes and condemns they felt amazin"</blockquote>
<br />
All was quite for a couple days until then another hot streak. Most comments contained: thanks, love them, hot, and tasty. The general opions that came in were great. I did have a couple people say the ring was a little uncomfy for him but for the most part both partners enjoyed everything.<br />
<br />
I myself found the ring to be great, and hubby had no complaints. Only thing I didn't like was the Pena Colada lube and I just don't like coconut in general. If you're interested in applying to your own party, you can apply to be a Sexplorer at Crowdtap here:<br />

I'd gotten coupons for a free sweater from Old Navy for a friend and myself thanks to Old Navy and <b><a href="http://bit.ly/iPkw2Q" target="_blank">Crowdtap</a> </b>(please check for more info on <b><a href="http://bit.ly/iPkw2Q" target="_blank">Crowdtap</a> </b>at the bottom of the page).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Being a member of the Old Navy Style Council on Crowdtap gave me this wonderful opportunity. It was my birthday on Monday and this was an awesome way to celebrate. We got to the store at 7:00 and didn't leave until shortly after 9:00 we were having so much fun modeling and trying to make our decisions...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you haven't been to Old Navy lately, I highly suggest you get in there. Their sweater selection at my store was fantastic and I swear they make the softest sweaters available (I have to say the same for their baby clothes also).<br />
<br />
I also got to try my first pair of leggings. Since having 2 kids my body has changed significantly and don't have quite the figure I used to. Holly talked me into trying them and I have to say... I absolutely loved them. They are so comfy (and Old Navy soft), plus they're super cute with a long sweater (I'm stressing the long part) and a pair of boots. </div>

<br />I also want to stress how wonderful it is to just have some "girl time." Being a full-time mommy of 2 takes it's toll on a person and getting out shopping with a friend just makes me feel energized again. It's amazing how much 2 hours in a store can do for you. We had such a fun night I can't wait to do it again soon.</div>

It's called <a href="http://gift-card-free.com/amazon/32971" target="_blank">InstaGC</a> and
that's about what it is. You get instant gift cards by completing
offers, visiting websites, and clicking links. I've just started my
account and have cashed out almost $60 for Amazon gift cards. I've been saving it all for Christmas presents for the kids.<br />

Last night, along with 3 of my girlfriends; thanks to Old Navy and <a href="http://bit.ly/iPkw2Q" target="_blank">Crowdtap</a> we got to take part in the Old Cardi Party.

I was lucky enough to be chosen once again to have an in-store party at Old Navy that gifts myself and some friends great Old Navy items. For this bash 3 friends and I got to choose 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 pair of flip-flops, a beach towel and a beach bag.<br />

It's nice to have your friends there to help you find something that works for you and helps coordinate everything. Here are a couple pictures from the party.</span></span><br />

We started off at the <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/search.do?searchText=flip+flop&searchDivName=Women&submit.x=0&submit.y=0" target="_blank">flip-flop</a> wall, they had such a wide-range of colors and sizes it made it a tough decion. Eventually we decided, until we saw another flip-flop wall!!! That changed the whole ballgame, there were flats, color-changing, sparkly, high-heeled, and flip-flops with various designs. We tried on different styles, heights and colors for what seemed like an hour!<br />

Next we moved onto the beach bags. Old Navy had all sorts of bags in various styles and paterns.

The pockets inside the bags were about the perfect size for sunscreen and a water bottle!</div>

There wasn't much of a selection left in my store, but what was there were cute so I didn't mind (of course they were free anyways so who am I to complain)! I went with the flip-flop beach towel. Love how colorful it is, and super soft!<br />

Last, but not least one of the most important summer accessories... sunglasses! We had so much fun trying on sunglasses. We actually all found our favorite pair on the first try, but just kept trying them on for the fun of it. </div>

We had a blast at the bash! Unfortunately, after doing some additional recreational shopping it came time to check-out. We had some issues at checkout with the store manager who seemed to be questioning the legitimacy of my coupons for the free items. He then began picking apart everything we bought and telling us if the coupon was real we weren't allowed to buy anything but basic flip-flops, sunglasses that they no longer had in stock, and the Crossbody bags (which all 4 of us chose) weren't included either. After lots of debate and a call to 1-800-Old-Navy 3 of the 4 of us walked out without any sunglasses and the other gal (who checked out a little earlier then the rest of us) didn't have any problems buying her Crossbody Bag.</div>

I've never had an issue with my Old Navy & <a href="http://bit.ly/iPkw2Q" target="_blank">Crowdtap</a> in-store parties before. We had to pick 3 different bags before we all eventually got a bag that worked, 2 different pairs of sunglasses (still didn't find a pair to work), and 2 pairs of flip-flops. The previous parties went off without a hitch, but the manager that is usually there unfortunately wasn't there. You can read about one of my past experiences <b><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2385039576250577080#editor/target=post;postID=551557438667299317" target="_blank">here</a></b>. We eventually got checked out with all of our stuff and headed out for dinner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had an amazing supper and I think I came back home glowing! Such a short little 4-hour time out shopping and dining with the ladies and I felt like I'd been relaxing at a spa for a week. Even though we had issues at checkout we had so much fun and felt very fortunate to be able to have that experiance.

I think it showed up early this year with the temperatures we've already had here in Minnesota. Either way when the heat gets turned up even more, I'm happy to say I'll be ready with the FREE Old Navy shorts a friend and I got for being a member of *<a href="http://bit.ly/iPkw2Q" target="_blank"><b>Crowdtap</b></a>.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>

I chose my friend, Sarah to come have a little shopping date with me. It's amazing how rejuvenated you can feel after just a couple hours out of the house spent with a good friend and no kids (I feel like I spent the day at a spa followed by a yoga class - or vice versa). Don't get me wrong, I love my kids and I'd do anything for them but we all need a little "me" time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sarah & I both were looking for different styles right off the bat. I knew I wanted something that'd be comfortable for the boat and would dry fast, and of course something that would give my full legs a tan. After looking online, I was pretty sure I knew exactly what pair I was getting. Sarah was thinking khaki and something longer. She's more of a capri style girl.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Even having a good idea of what we wanted we had SO much fun trying on the various styles. Here are some of the pics:</div>

After I tried on about 10 pair of shorts I finally decided on a couple pair of print shorts that I think will be perfect for the boat all summer long and a pair of denim shorts. Sarah chose the shorts in the last picture and we both picked up some cute tanks and a couple other various shirts. I also found a super-cute pair of sandals for my little girl that were on clearance!</div>

Crowdtap gives you an opportunity to mingle with brands and voice your opinions. I recently got selected for a chance to take 3 friends into my local Old Navy store and each of us walked out with a pair of pants, a sweater and a winter accessory.<br />
<br />
Trying on clothes has NEVER been so fun! We started our trip with picking up items we'd normally choose. Eventually before we hit the dressing rooms we decided that this is a good time to think outside the box and try something new. What better time then when you have 3 great friends with to help critique you and tell you what is, and isn't working for you?<br />
<br />
We went into the dressing rooms with literally piles of clothes! Each person choose their pants, sweater and accessory and we all came out together. Eventually after two fun-filled hours of shopping we'd made our final selections and walked out with huge smiles on our faces. I personally still have some baby weight on me from the birth of my daughter and I've really put off purchasing new clothes for far too long.<br />
<br />
The shopping trip really helped me get my groove back in a way. I felt amazing when I walked out and it got me to realize that I need to invest more in myself no matter what size and quit waiting for the right time to buy clothes.Two of my friends are in the middle of their weight-loss efforts as well so their clothes are not fitting either and I'm hoping it did the same thing for them as it did for me.<br />
<br />
Here's a couple pictures from our trip:<br />

It was so great to get a ladies' night out (and long overdue). I have to thank my girls for coming with me and helping me make my final selection. I also have to mention the employees were AMAZING! They were running all over the store helping us switch sizes and lengths and we felt horrible for the pile of clothes we left them when we finally cleaned out our dressing rooms. They acted like it wasn't a big deal and seemed to (hopefully) have as much fun with it as we did.</div>
