"Unless There's A Fairy Godmother already on it." Veronica Mars

I'm always saying, "If I was extremely rich I would pay whatever I had to, to whoever I had to, to get Veronica Mars back on the air," even all these years later. But I'm not rich so I donated $25 dollars to The Veronica Mars Movie Project by Rob Thomas for the possibility of a movie being made.

 

 

 

 

If this video is any indication, the movie is going to be thoroughly entertaining.

Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Overnight Peel-30 day trial

I was asked to join the Garnier Skin Renew Clinical Dark Spot Overnight Peel BzzCampaign (BzzAgents get to try a product, share their opinions with others and then let us know what happened, and create and share a variety of content, from reviews to videos to Facebook posts) and I said "yes, please." As part of the BzzCampaign I was sent a free 1.6 ounce bottle of the serum to use nightly for 30 days and then review. I decided to post update photos of the progress/improvement (or lack there of) of my skin. I actually started using the Peel on February 12, 2013, but have been dragging my feet about writing this post.


The Garnier Skin Renew Clinical Dark Spot Overnight Peel is meant to:

• Fade dark spots
• Even skin tone
• Brighten skin
• Smooth texture

It promises that "In 4 weeks: Dark spots and discoloration are diminished and skin looks more uniform and feels smoother."
But I also saw on their advertisement video and in my BzzGuide (A printed educational booklet with info about the product and suggestions on how to spread the word) that it takes up to 12 weeks for full results.

The peel is gentle enough to use each night and is not harsh and irritating like traditional facial peels. This is the first time I've used any type of peel. It goes on easily, absorbs into the skin quickly and you can't detect it on your face once it dries. Two pumps of the serum is usually enough to cover my face and neck in a thin layer. If I move quickly enough before it starts to absorb/dry in my hand. If not then three pumps.

I use Proactiv Solution (3 steps) on my face but while using the Overnight Peel I only used the Proactiv Cleanser at night and followed with the Garnier Overnight Peel and nothing else. In the morning I wash off the Peel with the Proactiv Cleanser and also use the Toner and Repairing lotion and either Olay Complete with SPF 15 or Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock SPF 70 (which I received as a free sample from... I can't remember where.) My skin was not irritated by the peel or any dryer than it usually is. I haven't had any major adverse reactions to the Garnier Peel.


Now for my favorite part of this BzzCampaign- sarcastically speaking- the before picture. I have marks left behind from pimples, uneven skin tone and "freckles" around my nose that I didn't have when I was younger so I'm guessing they are probably age spots or sun damage spots.

BzzAgent.com says that you should see improvement after one week of use (namely, brighter skin) so I'm posting this "one week later" picture. I don't notice too much difference. And I wasn't expecting to but this does make me skeptical about what my results will be at the end of the 30 days.

Still, I'm going to keep using the Garnier Peel and post the "after" picture at the end of the 30 days.

 

It is suggested that you use the Garnier Dark Spot Corrector along with the Overnight Peel for faster results and added moisturizing. 

 

Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Overnight Peel has a suggested retail price of about $16.99 and is available at "mass retailers."

MorningStar Veggie Burger - Review

As a part of the MorningStar Farms BzzCampaign, I received a coupon for a free item to try and then share a review. I also received about four $1-off coupons to pass along.

I chose the veggie burgers in two of the six varieties, Grillers Prime and Garden Veggie Patties.

find them in the frozen food section
 

 The Grillers Prime seem to be an attempt at making the veggie patties as close to the texture of beef meat patties as possible. They also have a very slight smoky flavoring which again is meant to be reminiscent of a hamburger. I found the Prime Grillers to be a little bland and a bit stringy in texture. You will not be fooled in to thinking you are eating a beef patty. However, I think these burgers might be a good stepping stone or transition for someone wanting to ease their way into eating more vegetarian options.

There are four recommended ways to cook the MorningStar Veggie Patty, by microwave, in the oven, on the grill and in the skillet (or as I call it, the pan). I fried the patties with a teaspoon or two of vegetable oil. It gave it a nice crispy texture which made the patties seem more like a breaded, fried chicken patty then a hamburger, which works pretty well.

I also tried the Garden Veggie Patties. These I really enjoyed. They have a lot more flavor than the Prime Grillers and aren't really "pretending" at being a hamburger. The Garden Veggie Patty is its own food and a pretty tasty one. It also had the texture of a fried chicken patty when cooked in the pan.

MorningStar Farms Veggie Burgers are a healthier alternative to beef hamburgers and taste pretty good. They are also quick and easy to make. So, I would and have added them to my "diet." But they definitely won't be a replacement when I'm craving a hamburger. Except on the days when I want a hamburger and am feeling too lazy to go through all the steps of making and cooking a beef patty. Those days I can just grab a Veggie Patty from the freezer and have it ready in less than ten minutes.

MorningStar Farms Veggie Burgers also have Spicy Black Bean Burgers, Grillers Original, Tomato &Basil Pizza Burgers and Mushroom Lover's Burgers.

MorningStar Farms has a huge line of frozen vegetarian food options check them out here: MorningStarFarms.com

Review: Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Cereal (Golden Honey Nut)

I was reluctant to try Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Cereal because the thought of peanuts mixed in with my corn flakes was not an appealing one. But the offer of trying something for free really does tend to change a mind quickly. And thanks to BzzAgent.com I got to do just that.
I really liked this cereal. It is crunchy and sweet. Crunchy Nut tastes a lot like Kellogg's Frosted Flakes except it has more of a honey flavor rather than the frosting taste. There aren't as many nuts on the flakes in the box as there are pictured on the box. This works for me because I don't think I'd like the texture of the cereal if peanuts were more prominent in the recipe. But for people that are choosing this cereal in hopes that the nuts will be abundant you'll be disappointed. Everyone in my house liked this cereal and we have since bought a second box. So, I recommend that people give it a try. Especially, if you are a Tony the Tiger fan and looking for a small change up for breakfast time.


In my BzzKit I received a free box of cereal and several 50 cent off coupons.

 

 



Kellogg's Crunchy Nut cereal also comes in Golden Honey Nut and Caramel Nut.

Suave Professionals Moroccan Styling Oil Review

Firstly, I don’t use styling oil on a regular basis. I used to use oil sheen and oily pomades when I would straighten my hair. I stopped as soon as I found an alternative because I hated how messy and greasy my hair always felt. So I was interested to try the new Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Argan Styling Oil because it claims to be “ultra-light.” I received a free 3 ounce sample from BzzAgent.com to try the product and give my honest opinion.

To be fair, I must mention that at the moment my hair is in pretty bad shape. It is really dry so Suave Professionals had its work cut out for it.

I was a bit worried that it would have a strong “perfumy” scent that would give me a headache. However, it has just the right amount of fragrance and after a few minutes on my hair I didn’t smell it anymore. (Actually, that’s when I wore my hair pulled back) When I wore my hair down I did catch a whiff of the styling oil here and there but it was not overpowering. But it did get annoying after a few hours.

It is easy to apply and I really like the pump dispenser. The directions say to use 2-3 pumps but for my dry, poofy hair 4-5 pumps seemed more appropriate.

The styling oil is light. My hair didn’t feel oily or heavy. It did add some shine but not as much as I expected. After using the oil for a week, my hair does seem a little healthier but nothing dramatic. It was not a quick fix for me. I think it will continue to improve the health of my hair with prolonged use.

The price is about average and it worked well enough but since I’m not partial to styling oils I don’t know if I will buy more Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil once my sample bottle runs out.

Also available in the Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Argan Oil line are; Shine Shampoo and Conditioner, Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner and Deep Conditioning Shine Mask.

Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Argan Oil is sold at select mass retailers, drug and grocery stores for a suggested price of $5.98
