Hello Neutrogena, I’m in love!

I have been so incredibly pleased with the Neutrogena products for this Bzz Campaign! As a Bzz Agent, I’m able to try products for free & this Neutrogena makeup campaign didn’t disappoint! The Crease Proof eyeshadow lasts & lasts, the Healthy Lengths mascara doesn’t flake or clump, plus my eyes look bright all day! My lips are moisturized all the time, and with so many shades of the Moisture Smooth Color Stick to choose from, I’m never bored! If you’ve been thinking about trying out these new products, run, don’t walk, to the nearest store to try them out! Completely worth the price (under $10), no funky ingredients & feels great on!

Neutrogena – Products that last!

Recently, I’ve been using several new Neutrogena products as part of a Bzz Campaign.  SO IMPRESSED!  It’s difficult to find make up that will a) last all day and b) last through a workout, especially after wearing it all day.  I was given the opportunity to try out Neutrogena Health Lengths Mascara and Neutrogena Crease Proof Eye Shadows.  LOVE! Following is my review of both products:

Healthy Lengths Mascara – goes on smooth, no clumping. Stays on all day, not requiring a touch-up.  No runs, smudges or flakes either.  Lasted well through a sweaty workout, even after wearing all day!

eye shadow

Crease Proof Eye Shadow – I was able to try two colors, Constant Copper & Lasting Taupe.  Both go on smoothly, have a nice shine and work well as a primer for other colors to layer over.  Both colors are sheer, but again, do well as a base.  Neither color creased after wearing for 12+ hours, which was fantastic for me since I have oily eye lids.  I had several girlfriends try both colors out prior to a Zumba workout where we all sweat buckets.  Passed the test for everyone!  Even last another friend well as her go-to eye shadow for a recent trip across country.  No smudging or smearing after two flights and several layovers.

Both products are definitely going into my rotation of regular make up products.  Available anywhere Neutrogena products are sold & come in several colors – try them, try them, try them!

MorningStar Farms – Go Meatless!

Posted March 7th, 2013 by Jamie. Comment (0).

I’ve been really excited to be part of the MorningStar Farms Bzz Campaign! Incorporating a meatless dish once a week has been fun & a great way to eat healthy! The following recipe is one my husband created & shared with friends at a potluck. It met with rave reviews!

MorningStar Farms Crumble Casserole

1 package MorningStar Farms Crumbles
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 package instant potatoes
1c colby jack cheese

Saute the crumbles on high heat until softened, about 2-3 minutes.  Set aside in a container that will retain the heat. Saute the onions on high heat until clear. Prepare potatoes per package directions. Lightly oil the bottom of a 8×8 square glass baking dish.  Line bottom with Crumbles and onions. Spread an even layer of potatoes on top of crumble mixture, then top with cheese.  Bake at 375 until cheese is melted.

Another great idea is to incorporate MorningStar Farms burgers into lunch at work. They’re a fast fix when you’re hungry, plus provide a hearty meal quickly! Top a burger patty with lettuce, onions, pickles & tomato for a healthy lunch. Cut up a burger as a topping for a salad. Incorporate MorningStar Farms sausages in your omelette. The possibilities are many – how far will your imagination stretch?

Creative baking in a small space

Mixer spicerack sugar baking

Having moved into a new home recently that is short on kitchen space, I’ve had to get creative when baking. My mixer cart comes in handy for maneuvering my Kitchenaid around, plus our spice rack saves on cupboard space. Spare countertop space is nil, so cooking and baking in stages is the name of the game. Thankfully, I’m still turning out yummy edibles that put smiles on friend’s faces!

 

Welcome!
