What a Hiatus!!!

Wow, I have taken a long break from this blog but have recently been put out of work again and have decided to do something semi-productive with my time.

Woo!

Sorry I haven't been updating frequently lately but I just started working a 3rd shift job so things have been hectic. I work until seven in the morning and then spend a little time with the wee fetus' and head of to bed until around four in the pm. After that it is basically cleaning, taking care of the children and making dinner. I might have about half an hour in there to do my own thing for five minutes. I will try updating as often as possible but just this short amount of time I have had to fight with the children for the time and jump up a few times to save a stack of DVD+Rs from the grips of my savage one year old all the while being jostled around on my bed from my three year old jumping and dancing on my bed(which she took upon herself to strip of comforter, pillows, down pillow-top and sheets) to Johnny Cash singing about Hank Williams coming to town...Can you say circus?

Okay, well I will try and update with some free samples at least every weekend, hopefully more frequently. Also I got some more of my samples in the mail I'll let you know what they are and if they were worth it.

Winners!

Congratulations to Mar! I loved the toast with cream cheese and tomato! Please get in touch with me within 3 days or you will forfeit the prize to a runner up. Thank you for all the great snack ideas! A lot of you were saying fresh fruit, but fresh fruit really isn't a recipe, the fruit salad idea was good too but I just really loved the toast with cream cheese and tomato, I have found my new favorite snack, it is even quick and easy! I love it. Thank you for participating in my contest, and keep checking back I might be having another soon plus you can get a lot of cool freebies from my links!

Crystal Light Contest

I recently got a sample pack of Crystal Light Immunity On The Go Cherry Pomegranate. I have never had Crystal Light before, mostly because I thought it would taste like crap.

WOW! Was I ever wrong! I loved this, it was delicious! I don't know if it is only this flavor or the whole lot but I intend to find out.

Now I am out to spread the word to others who haven't yet tried this wonderful and healthy drink.

I thought Vitamin Water was healthy but Crystal Light has no Sugar or Fat and only 5 calories per serving! When I saw that I felt like somebody had slapped my face! I don't know how they pack so much flavor into something that is basically 5 calories and some vitamins! This is the real vitamin water, I think I will be sticking with this now, the only thing it is missing is the cute little blurbs on the side of the packaging, talking about how that particular flavor will affect everyday situations in very exaggerated ways.

Anyway, I have (2)two boxes of Crystal Light On the go up for grabs.

To win you can:

1)Leave a comment with a recipe for a healthy SNACK, that you think would go well with Crystal Light. The snack has to be quick and easy but most of all it has to taste good! I love food, so it will have to be delicious! I will judge this myself.

OR

2)You can blog about my contest and tell people how great Crystal Light is. You have to have a link to my blog and a link to the Crystal Light web page in the blog. The winner for this method will be chosen at random. If you choose this method please e-mail me with your url to the blog post and your name so that I will know. If you are entering this way, when you link to my contest use this URL; http://mamasampler.blogspot.com/2008/07/crystal-light-contest.html

Each winner will receive (1)Crystal Light On The Go random flavor and (1) Crystal Light Immunity On The Go Cherry Pomegranate, each of these boxes contain 10 packets of Crystal Light.

Rules:
1 entry per person, per method. The same person cannot win both prizes. People from the continental US only please. I reserve the right to change or add rules at my discretion. All entries must be received by midnight on Wensday July 16th. Winners will be notified on Thursday July 17th.

Ban Vs. Dove

I recently got two deodorant samples in the mail. 1 Ban Invisible Solid in the Sweet Surrender scent and 1 Dove Ultimate Clear in the energizing grapefruit and lemongrass scent. Both smell invigorating and delightful.

The real test for a deodorant for me though is how long it lasts. For this test I kept all other factors besides the deodorant the same and before each trial I showered.

The first day I tried the Ban, mostly because it was the closer one to my location at the time of drying off after the shower. I have to say I love both scents equally, they are very refreshing. After I put the Ban on I went through my day like normal and by about 6-8pm I could tell it was wearing off slightly. I could smell B.O. under the scent of the deodorant. It wasn't bad but noticeable, all in all Ban had a good run.

The next morning after I showered I put on the Dove deodorant. Again pleasant smell, and again I went about my normal day. However the Dove was still going strong at 2am before I went to bed...in fact it is still going strong right now, I haven't yet had a chance to shower today so I would say hands down, if I can give a long lost friend a hug after not having time to take a shower for a day and I still smell awesome then Dove is the winner!

Anyway, it is not like I am a huge sweater, but I would say I fall in the normal perspiration range. So if you need something long lasting Dove would be the way to go, ban I guess would be good for people who don't perspire much or who's sweat was fairly low on the odor-meter. Even though I don't sweat a lot, my sweat ranks high on the odor-meter so it's awesome to know Dove can work wonders for me.

While we are on the subject, I also got some Fresh Mint Sensodyne in the mail and I LOVE it after the first use I could tell a difference in the sensitivity level of my teeth. My teeth have never been very sensitive but lately they are crazy sensitive. Probably a sign that I should go get a dental check up but right now I have no insurance and can't afford it. What I can afford though is a nice big tube of Sensodyne! lol =P
