About StyleFind....

As a BzzAgent, I was offered a spot in Style Find's exclusive membership. I was kind of on the fence at first about even trying it out. I thought it might be just another promotional website that sends you constant e-mails for things you don't need. But knowing BzzAgent, I decided that they probably wouldn't offer us something like that and decided to give it a try.

I am glad I decided to try out Style Find. I am definitely a bargain shopper and do a lot of my shopping online. Style Find caters directly to me. 

At first, I did find the site a little difficult to navigate and couldn't really figure out what I was looking at or how to find what I was looking for. After fussing with it for a while I did start to understand. 

The site is set up with lots of deals at different stores. They offer deals on beauty, style, fashion, shoes, accessories, etc. So, if you're into fashion, I would recommend checking this site out. It is the ultimate guide for a fashionista!

Not only do they offer great deals on fashion, but they are currently running a contest as well. BzzAgent actually sent me an email and encouraged me to enter this contest. Its for a closet makeover. Who wouldn't love that? I hope I win! Keep your crossables crossed! 

And as always, thanks BzzAgent!

Style Find


I got invited the BzzCampaign for Style Find by being a BzzAgent. I will admit that it was kind of confusing to figure out Style Find at first but since I have, its been amazing. They offer lots of information for online shoppers to save lots of money. They are constantly updating their site with the newest exclusive offers for Style Find members and a section dedicated just to coupons that you can use on your orders. I like what they have to offer. the only downfall that I've found so far is that the site is a little cluttered and hard to use. If you keep up with your emails from them you can get in on the best sales though without having to search through their site to find them. I'd recommend anyone who likes shopping online for fashion or accessories or beauty to check out Style Find to save themselves some money.

Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin products


Well its been a while since I've updated my blog but my new Bzz Campaign has got me really excited and ready to write!

When I came across the Bzz Campaign for Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin products on my Bzz account I was SO excited! I have used other Burt's Bees products in the past, such as lip products and hand lotions, and have NEVER been disappointed with anything.

I suffer from sensitive skin. On one cheek I get a rough patch that is red and itchy. And I break out easily. Both of these conditions are usually aggravated by cleansers and lotions. I have a hard time finding something that really works for me and doesn't itch or make my face dry.

I tried the cleanser in the shower this morning. It felt so refreshing. I felt as though my face was REALLY getting clean. There was no weird overly flowery smell that some cleansers can have to them. It was just a clean scent and I felt as though my face was really getting the cleansing it needed. When I got out of the shower I noticed that I barely saw that rough red patch on my face any longer. My face looked great!

After drying my face I put on the moisturizer. It was cool and refreshing as well. I could tell it was all natural. It just gave me a great feeling.

Between the cleanser and the moisturizer, I can't stop touching my face today! It feels so soft. There is no itching. No burning. No chafing. My face is fresh. I feel like ME!  I love these products from Burt's Bees!

Thank you BzzAgent for giving me the opportunity to try these products. I am really enjoying them!

COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Foundation and Gloss Balm

Okay. So COVERGIRL NatureLuxe foundation and gloss balm were the first products that I was invited to try by BzzAgent. And to my surprise, I really like them! If you know me, you know that I am not much of a makeup wearer. If I wear makeup its usually just a little lip gloss and some mascara.

I tend not to wear much makeup because of the way it makes my face feel. It makes me feel like my skin can't breathe... especially foundation!  I was a little hesitant to try the NatureLuxe foundation when I received it because of my aversion to foundation in general. Plus it was a cream/liquid foundation which is usually the worst for me. But my job as a BzzAgent is to try every product I get and give an honest review. The first thing I'll say about this foundation is WOW! Basically, it is what it says it is! It is light weight, its silky, it feels natural. I couldn't even tell that I had it on. It covered my blemishes and evened out my skin tone without making my feel like my face was suffocating. Another thing that I really enjoyed about the foundation is that it has SPF 10. Ladies... it is VERY important to ALWAYS make sure your makeup or moisturizer has SPF. It is especially important to me as I live in the sunshine state - Florida, baby!

So, the next thing I tried was the gloss balm. I was a little worried because when I hear the word "balm" I think of something kind of thick and sticky. This was the exact opposite. It is smooth, silky, moisturizes your lips, and its pretty and glossy. It made me feel sexy while serving a purpose - moisturizing and sun protection! Yes, that is right - the gloss also has sunblock - SPF 15.

So all in all, I am very pleased with my experience with both products. I will definitely be purchasing these products in the future and recommending them to my friends. Thanks BzzAgent and thanks COVERGIRL!

Trend Micro Online Guardian

Trend Micro Online Guardian is the second item that I was invited to try through BzzAgent but the FIRST I'll be blogging about. Why, you ask? Because it is simply awesome!

Trend Micro Online Guardian is a software package that was provided to me by BzzAgent to try and review. The purpose of Trend Micro Online Guardian is parental controls on the internet. Trend Micro allows you to set controls of what sites your child can visit, what words or phrases they are allowed to search for, content they are not allowed to view, records all of their instant messages, and monitors social networking sites for explicit content and cyber bullying.

Not only can you do all of those things, but you get reports sent to your email and a personalized page that you can log into Trend Micro provides you with a detailed report of what your child has searched, including top 5 words or phrases searched, recordings of the instant messages, who they talked to, and much much more.

You have more than one child? You want to set different controls for each one? You CAN! You can set controls for all of your children and customize each one based on your needs as a family. Because we know what is appropriate for your 16 year old may not be appropriate for your 7 year old. Trend Micro makes managing your children's online safety so easy.

Another great feature is that you can set up times that your child is allowed to be online. For instance: Mine is set up so that my son, Johnathan, can get online Monday through Friday anytime from 4pm to 9pm but only for a maximum of 1 1/2 hours per day. And then on weekends he is allowed on anytime between 10am and 10pm but only for 2 hours in a given day. Of course, you can always go in and adjust this if your child needs to be on longer to do a school project or something like that.

Trend Micro is just so easy to use and really gives you peace of mind when it comes to your kids and the internet. Of course I would always recommend talking to your children about what is appropriate and what isn't on the internet. And keep your computer in a public place while your child is using it. And open up conversations about what they're doing online, who they're talking to, and what they've read. Trend Micro is there to help, not parent. But it is a wonderful tool and gets my two thumbs up (more if I had them!)

And I have an amazing treat for you!  If you'd like to purchase Trend Micro Online Guardian for your family I, as a BzzAgent, have a special discount code for you. Just enter: BZZ20

Enjoy!
