ShopRite Can Can Sale & Cans for Fans to Fight Hunger

I recently learned that in 2011, ShopRite donated 40,000 cans of food to local food banks in commemoration of 40 years of Can Can savings by way of its famous, annual Can Can Sale. Now in its 41st year, the Can Can Sale has become extra special with the "Cans for Fans" Facebook program, which enables fans to get involved in the fight against hunger.

During the 2012 Can Can Sale (1/5 - 1/21), ShopRite will donate one can of food (up to 50,000 cans) to local food banks in the communities it serves, on behalf of every new ShopRite Facebook fan. 

• I love my local ShopRite and find that they really offer the most competitive prices and the best selection of items in our area. I was thrilled to hear about their generosity with this program. It is great-the more fans that "like" ShopRite on Facebook, the more cans it will donate to those in need - it´s that simple! 

• Visit ShopRite´s "Get Can Canned" website at www.ShopRiteCanCan.com, to upload a personal photo and become a virtual ShopRite Can Can dancer; the image can be emailed to friends, shared via your personal blog, Facebook or Twitter account, or posted to ShopRite's official Facebook page • Don't forget to visit www.ShopRite.com for the Can´t Can´t Wait Sale Preview on Sunday, January 1st!

The information regarding the above event and opportunity to win a prepaid ShopRite gift card was provided to you by ShopRite through MyBlogSpark.

Montagne Jeunesse Facial Masque Review

I was a lucky girl this month! I received another great product to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program from Montagne Jeunesse recently. I love taking a few minutes for myself and that includes my facial care routine. Masks are a great way for me to rejuvenate my skin, especially in the colder months! I tried the Passion Peel Off Masque and it smelled heavenly. It really made my skin look and feel soft when I rinsed it off too. I love that they are never tested on animals too. I can't wait to pick a few up at my local ULTA that just opened down the way from my house. I will be stashing a few Montagne Jeunesse masques in my travel beauty bag as well. I need a pick me up when I am traveling for business which seems to happen a lot lately.

X Out for Clear Skin and Take Control of that Acne

It doesn't matter what age you are, everyone gets acne from time to time. Hormones, stress and just life bring on those unpleasant little bumps on our face called acne. I get them. You get them. They are no fun. You can cover them all you want but what you really need to do is use an effective medication to eradicate them. XOut is a new product that really helps to clear your skin from those pesky acne breakouts. The unique, one-step X Out™ Wash-In Treatment is formulated to help kill the bacteria that causes breakouts, help banish existing pimples and help leave the skin feeling smooth and looking healthy. That is all we really want, right? Clear skin so we can look and feel our best at work, at school and out with our friends and family.

I was excited to try XOut just before the holiday craziness since my skin was having some issues with acne breakouts due to stress. I liked the way XOut cleaned my skin and left it soft. I noticed the acne slowly disappearing and sure enough my skin was clear by Christmas. I was happy that I didn't have to wrestle with all that cover up for the holiday family photos. Try XOut and see how it can help you feel more confident too.

X Out™ works to lift away the dirt and grime that can clog pores. The Wash-In Treatment also leaves behind powerful medicine to help keep pores clean. Learn more and purchase at XOut.com. X Out is sold as a 30-day supply and comes with a bonus Shine Control product to help you fight oil all day for $19.95. I was lucky to have received this product complimentary to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program.

Mentos Pure Fresh Gum Saves The Day

I had a Mentos Pure Fresh moment last week and my Mentos sure saved the day for me. I am always so conscious of looking professional and being professional as part of my career--an important part of that includes fresh breath. It sounds funny but as a sales professional this is SOOO important. Would you want to chat with someone that didn't have fresh breath?? Of course not! That is one of the reasons I always carry my Mentos Pure Fresh Gum with me everywhere. And I mean everywhere. You can ask anyone that knows me, they can always find gum if they can find me. My gum is faithfully stashed in my home, my purse, my car (secret stash!) just in case.

Last week I was so tired I stopped before an appointment to get a cup of coffee which I never do.  I always feel like midday coffee compromises fresh breath. I was so exhausted that I forgot about my ironclad rule and drank down that much needed cup of joe before I realized I had to meet with an important client in 1/2 hour. I barely had time to get there never mind run to the nearest drug store for a toothbrush and toothpaste! I remembered with a big sigh of relief my stash of Mentos Pure Fresh Gum in my purse and in my car (shhhh-don't tell the kidlet she will repossess my gum!) As soon as I arrived at the client's office I grabbed a piece of my gum and freshened my breath on the elevator-how convenient, right? While I waited for my client I could feel the freshness returning to my mouth. I was able to confidently have a discussion with my client and make an effective case for my products.

*I received a complimentary sample of Mentos Pure Fresh Gum in my Influenster Holiday VoxBox. This does not affect my opinion on the product and all opinions are my own.
