Torani cookie exchange

Here is a little info about Torani:

"Since 1925, family-owned Torani has been crafting great tasting flavored syrups that coffeehouses use to make their flavored drinks taste so delicious. With over 120 flavors in regular and sugar free varieties, Torani flavored syrups are perfect for flavored lattes, mochas, coffees, cocoas, Italian sodas, teas, lemonades, cocktails and smoothies. Coffeehouse professionals choose Torani flavors because they are expertly crafted and made with the highest quality ingredients, like natural flavors and pure cane sugar. The sugar free flavors have no calories and are sweetened with Splenda. Now, Torani Flavored Syrups are widely available at retail so you can easily create authentic coffeehouse quality drinks at home."
                    
                                             I was chosen by SheSpeaks to create and try out recipes that had Torani in them. This could not have come at a better time Christmas time that is. Every year my family and a few close friends have a cookie exchange. In the past years these women really go for blood. We have prizes for best presentation and best taste. So this year I added a bonus prize for whoever included Torani in their recipe. I received Pumpkin Pie and Hazelnut from SheSpeaks and bought myself Salted Carmel with a coupon. The winner for best taste was also the winner of the bonus prize because she included Torani.


The cookie was an plain oatmeal cookie recipe but she added Torani Salted Carmel instead of vanilla. I have to say it was fun to add a twist this year. I would like thank SheSpeak and Torani for the opportunity to share Torani with my family and friends.
This is 2 of the ladies enjoying some coffee with Torani sugar free syrups!

                                  Smartfoods Selects

                        I am a bzzagent and my latest campaign was by Smartfood Selects. I received these items for free and in return you write reviews about them. This is my 3rd campaign and I am loving that I am a bzzagent. You learn about new products and most of the time receive coupons to share with friends and family.
                                                        3 popcorn flavors:
1.Buffalo cheddar- This zesty flavor combination is inspired by spicy buffalo wing sauce, cooled by cheddar cheese. It's made even more delicious with hints of cayenne pepper, vinegar, paprika, garlic, and onion.
2.Cinnamon brown sugar-The bittersweet molasses in sweet brown sugar pairs perfectly with warm, woody cinnamon for a comforting and delicious combination
3.Parmesan heb-The bold cheese flavor of Parmesan and the herb aromatics of basil and parsley are a perfect combination. Garlic, onion, and black pepper round out the flavors
                         I received the Cinnamon brown sugar and before I give you my review I am letting you know I am not a huge cinnamon fan. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor, the cinnamon was not over powering and there was a hint of butter. I dont think I would purchase this flavor again but I will try the other 2.
                                                            4 Hummus Popped Chips

1.Feta Herb
Hummus Popped Chips

Herbs are a natural accompaniment to cheese. This delicious recipe combines feta cheese with rosemary, basil, and black pepper for a flavor that perfectly complements our hummus popped chip.

2.Garlic Tomato Basil
Hummus Popped Chips

By roasting the garlic in this hummus-based popped chip, we've caramelized its natural sugars to give it a sweet flavor. Parmesan, tomato, basil, and thyme complement the garlic in this scrumptious, smart combination.

3.Cinnamon Brown Sugar
Multigrain Popped Chips

This flavor is twice as nice. We start with a naturally sweet blend of grains in our multigrain chips, and then top them with cinnamon and brown sugar for a delightfully sweet treat.

4.Italian Herb
Multigrain Popped Chips

Basil and oregano grow happily together in the Mediterranean climate, which is why they are such a great pair in Italian cooking. We've added them to a multigrain chip for a flavor we know you'll love.

              I received Garlic Tomato Basil and Feta Herb. I am in love with the Garlic Tomato it has great flavor and I will be buying again and again and again. All products have no arificial colors, flavors, or presevatives. This is a healthy snack option with 0 grams trans fat and no msg. This whole line is worth trying.

New Glade Expressions

<img src="https://img.bzzagent.com/image/gladeExpressions.jpg?Type=activity&Activity=9365102339&Campaign=5855213675&Uid=1354467&token=5cd98f163c8dbf0d66b985049cb2098d" alt=""/>


                                             I was selected by bzzagent to try out Glades new Expressions oil diffuser and fragrance mist. I was very pleased with the package I received to try this line out. In my bzzagent kit was 1 coupon for a free fragrance mist starter kit also a free oil diffuser starter kit and some $4 off for oil diffuser and $2 of fragrance mist.
                                            First I will talk about the oil diffuser in the scent lavender juniper berry. I thought it was very chic and stylish. It didn't look like a drugstore purchase more like a department store one which complimented my shabby chic living room decor. The smell I thought could be a little stronger but other then that its a great scent.
                                           Next I tried the fragrance mist in cotton Italian mandarin. This covered up the dog smell in my house like no other spray has. The scent lasted longer then I expected which was impressive. The only negative review I have is I would have liked some kind of design on it but the shape is creative and unique.
                                 Hope this review helped anyone that was interested in purchasing Glade Expressions oil diffuser or fragrance mist. Also be sure to check out bzzagent if you haven't already.

I received the GOLDEN BOX!

                   I recently became a member of Julepe Maven its a monthly fee of $19.99 for trendsetting new nail colors.  At first I thought this was kinda pricey for nail polish but it does have some great perks.  First thing is you can get your first box for 1cent enter code PENNY to receive offer. Second you can receive a free box if you refer 2 people. Last is you could be one of the lucky members to get a golden box which has all the colors of that month. I just received my 2nd box and it was a golden box I didnt even realize it was untill I opened it and saw the card that said YOU WON A GOLDEN BOX the gold box that it came didnt give it away for me. For all you people that love a bargin each box has at least 2 nail polishes which if bought seperately would cost $14 a piece. My first box had 3 in it so that a saving of $22. I posted a link below to check it out.
