What's the Bzz?

I've been a BzzAgent for a while now, but haven't blogged about any of the campaigns I've been involved in. I'm currently participating in five campaigns and have received my shipments for two of them. Once I receive the products for my other three campaigns I will post more information.



COVERGIRL & Olay: Foundation and Pressed Powder. I just started using this makeup, but so far I love the coverage and how light it feels. It's supposed to improve the tone of your skin. Here is my before photo. I'll post an after photo at the end of the campaign.

Dell Laser Printers: I'm using the Dell 1355cnw. I love the quality of my print  jobs and fast printing speed. I even tried printing photos, and they were beautiful, even without photo paper. It is also great at scanning and making copies. Dell is offering five models: Dell B1160w, Dell 1250c, Dell 1355cn, Dell 1350cnw and Dell 1355cnw.If you're interested in getting a new printer, here is a code for 10% off: Share this code for 10% off a Dell laser printer with friends!

Fall Giveaway Festival

If you have a lot of time on your hands, or just really want an iPad2 head on over to  Sassy Mama in LA, Simply Stacie, Makobi Scribe and Matter of Cents. All four blogs are offering you a chance to win an iPad2, sponsored by retailmenot, which I've already mentioned is a favorite site of mine for finding great coupon codes. In addition, over 100 other blogs are also running contests worth at least $25. The links are either at the bottom of the Fall Giveaway Festival posts on each blog or under a giveaway tab. 


So go click away and hopefully win a prize.

Totsy Giveaway

Over at What Mama Wants, you can enter to win a super cute Tat ‘r Tots Pink/Army Large size plush blanket courtesy of Totsy. Totsy is a private-sale site, with great prices on items geared towards kids and families. You have to be a member of Totsy to shop the sales, but it's worth it if you're a fan of any of the brands they feature.

More Charity Ideas

Yesterday I posted a link to the BB2G Auction Page, which is such a great cause to support. Today I have a couple more ways that you can help out great causes.

One is brought to you by Betty Confidential, which is a fun online magazine for women.Betty Confidential is running a fantastic contest with some great prizes, including a deluxe beauty bag from Nordstrom, a hair dryer donate by LockandMane.com, Fandango gift cards, and suprise beauty bag from Betty Confidential . All you have to do to enter is donate any amount to April’s Team in Training donation page,which benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Both Betty Confidential and April's Team in Training page can do this great cause more justice.

The second cause is brought to you by HSN, in support of UNICEF. HSN is selling FEED Trick-or-Treat bags, which come with a Halloween JELLO mold. The bag is selling for $12.50, $3.50 of which HSN will donate to UNICEF to provide micronutrient powder for an entire year to a child in a developing country.

Shop for a Cause

I know that there are tons of products out there that you can buy to support various causes. Some products will donate all proceeds to a certain cause or charity, and others will donate a portion of the proceeds. Today I want to tell you about an auction going on to support Band Back Together, which is a group blog where anyone can post their story, or their family's story, about any topic under the sun. In addition there are resources pages covering a huger range of topics from abandonment to worms. All posts are reviewed by the sites moderators, and all comments are moderated, as well. The founder, Becky Sherrick Harks of Mommy Wants Vodka, recently turned Band Back Together into a nonprofit, and the auction is to support the site.

Here is a link to the auction site: http://auction.bandbacktogether.com/

Take a look at all the great things you can bid on and support a fantastic site. A place where anybody can tell their story and feel safe and secure in doing so.

Restuarant E-mails

Many restaurants have E-mail newsletters that give you certain perks if you sign up to receive them. Chili's Bar and Grill sends me two or three coupons a week for free appetizers, free desserts, or kids eat free. Ruby Tuesdays sends me a coupon about once a week for a discount on my meal, occasionally even a buy one dinner get one free. Many restaurants will also send you coupons on your birthday for a free meal or free dessert. Red Robin will give you a free burger on your birthday. IHOP will give you a free meal on your birthday and on the one-year anniversary of signing to be part of their Pancake Revolution.

These are just a few of the many e-mail clubs restaurants offer. If you have a favorite restaurant, go on their website and see if they have an e-mail club and offer incentives for joining.
