Scotties® TREES ROCK! video and essay contest for kids with awesome prizes #ScottiesTreesRock #freesamp

Disclosure:  I am a member of Smiley360. I received a free sample of Scottie's products and coupons to share with friends. As always, my opinions are my own.

The cold and flu season is starting.  We are always stocked up in our home with soft tissues galore. If you are like me, you really try to balance getting great products for your family with not breaking the bank.  Did you know Scotties® is the brand of facial tissue you can trust to deliver everyday comfort through softness and strength in every sheet? Scotties® also gives you more tissues per box versus the leading national brand so you are being economical. Scotties products are environmentally considerate too. They are truly dedicated to responsible forestry, so you can feel good about supporting Scotties® during the cold and flu season and all year long.

I was fortunate to get a gift pack of goodies below including a box of Scottie's for myself and 2 coupons so I could share the love with friends through Smiley360.  This is what I received:

 One (70 count) box of Scotties® Facial Tissues
• 2 Full value coupons (one for you and one to give away to a friend or family member)
• One-Pager about the TREES ROCK! contest to hand out.
• Smiley360 Sharing Guide

Clean like a Pro Zep @Crowdtap Sampling #Sponsored #TryZep #ZepCleansters

Disclosure: I was recently chosen to participate in a Zep event through Crowdtap. I received complimentary products and promotional gifts in exchange for my honest opinion.

I like my house neat and tidy.  I am always up for anything that is going to help me clean faster and more efficiently.  There are so many products out there it is hard to know what really works. Zep is a professional style line of cleaners that is now available for the consumer at home like you and me.

I am thrilled to have commercial quality cleaners that can help me get the job done faster and more efficiently. Who wouldn't be? 

Crowdtap and Zep sent me several sample sizes of their products to check them out.

I received 5 sample sizes of Zep products including:

• Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant
• Zep All-Around Oxy Cleaner and Degreaser

I was excited to share my sample sizes of Zep with friends and family. It is fun to get the word out about a new product when I find it works out well for me.

Zep is available in lots of the local stores now so everyone can try it and then go out and buy it locally which is wonderful. It is important with flu season out there to make sure you are using a good quick clean disinfectant cleaner like Zep. 

Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant does the job professionally.  You can feel confident you are keeping your house as clean as possible. Don't forget to do like we do though and wash your hands as soon as you walk in your home. Pair that with Zep and you are doing a super thing for your whole family.

I am totally ready to clean like a pro with Zep, how about you? It's time to fight germs and messes this flu season with two of Zep's newest cleaning secret weapons, Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant AND the Zep All-Around Oxy Cleaner and Degreaser.

When I find something good whether it is an idea, a recipe jack or who know what I have to share the goodies.  I am working with them until December as part of Campbell’s Tasters on Crowdtap. I get to try different recipes with a new variety of Campbell’s® Soups for Easy Cooking, and even get to use a new flavor of Skillet Sauce. It is a real adventure!

Here's what I received:

I decided to make a quick dinner the other night using the Campbell's Soups for Easy Cooking in Savory Portobello Mushroom. I made a yummy fast risotto with leftover spinach, frozen peas and some fresh mushrooms.  

It came out delicious.  I added some cooked chicken and the little one took the leftovers to lunch today.  Everyone lived it and it was fast and easy thanks to Campbell's!

There are so many benefits to using these Dot Dot Travel Packing Cubes. Think about how your packing can be easier and more productive each time your travel.

Boy, these packing organizers really have saved me time packing and unpacking by allowing me to unpack only what I need. I travel alot on business and this makes my task so much easier and I feel more organized when traveling.
