My NY Yankees Fragrance Samples! There were some pluses and minuses with the NY Yankees  Fragrance samples  sent out.  Something I would consider a good thing was that they were not the samples with the little cloth inside (where the sample container is usually foil).  The reason this is good is because those type of samples never smell like  fragrance  to me, they just smell like rubbing alcohol. I have no idea why that is, my only conclusion is that alcohol has to be added for some reason with that type of sample process.   I would have, of course, loved a larger sample, for instance, the small vials that Dove body splash and Burberry Body have given out in the past, because then you have a chance to actually wear the fragrance for a few days and see if you like it. But what can I say? At least I could actually smell these! New York Yankees For Her Image Source: Fragrantica This has a very unique smell. It's a little sweet, but rustic and slightly fruity a

So, this could be a great way to get freebies!

Not too shabby for a few minutes of your time, right?!

Below are images of the amazing samples I received today! The Tide Pods were from  Vocal Point , and I'm fairly sure the rest were from either the products' Facebook pages or from the products' websites.  I will be reviewing all of these amazing freebies except the Body Shock for this blog!!!  With my health issues and medication, I can't take things like the Body Shock, so I will see if I can find someone to review it for me!  Anyone want to write a guest review???   E-mail me!   I love the size of the Clear samples! I don't know if you can tell from this picture, but they are actually little bottles!  I will use all of it before I write the review so it may take a week.

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has released 115 free educational videos, guides, and publications that are avaliable to order or for digital download on their website . I ordered all the DVDs they had avaliable and received them in less than two weeks! Their material is all biology based, dealing mainly with genetic topics, such as, The Making of the Fittest , The Origin of Modern Humans , Evolution , and Exploring Biodiversity .   But they also have titles that cover obesity , cardiovascular diseases , neuroscience , RNA , cancer, HIV/AIDS , infectious diseases , and stem cells. So if you are a science geek, an educator, or have kiddos who love science, head over to the HHMI website and order your science videos today!

So a while back I sent out for this, Aero Shot , sample and today I finally used it.  I was exhausted this morning after hardly sleeping last night.  So before heading off to the Red Hawks baseball game today I took a "shot" of Aero Shot, a breathable energy supplement.  It was very easy to use, just open the package (shown above, left), then remove the plastic wrap that holds the Areo Shot together, then you just pull it apart and breath it into your mouth and swallow it, as shown in the pictures below (sorry they're so cheesy, but I couldn't think of a better way to show how it worked). Mine's lime flavored, but it doesn't have much taste.  Each shot contains 20 mg of niacin, 2mg of vitamin B6, 6mcg of vitamin B12, and 100mg of caffeine, which is about the same amount of caffeine as a large cup of coffee. Aero Shots also come in green apple and raspberry flavors and they are coming out with a chocolate line later this month, which will consist of ch

RewardsGold.com is a great little site that allows you to earn points by answering very short surveys/ product reviews, which you can use to get a variety of magazines free for one year, with no obligation to continue the subscription past that year.  The best thing is that the surveys are generally only around 5-10 questions and completing 1 survey and inviting 2 friends (you can invite the same 2 people multiple times) will usually give you enough points for a 1 year magazine subscription! RewardsGold.com has 1 year subscriptions to At Home, Outside,  W , Wine Spectator, AFAR , Cigar Aficionado, Forbes , Golf Week,  Martha Stewart Living ,  26 issues of Barron's , 26 or 39 weeks of the Wall Street Journal , 25 weeks of The Economist,  2 years of Smart Money ,  and more,   as well as various audio books.  Click here to see the list of all the rewards available from RewardGold.com Some other magazines that often offer free subscriptions are:  Working Mother, American Baby,

My delicious Crystal Light Appletini Mocktail! Crystal Light is currently launching quite a few new products, which is something we can all be excited about, and I'll tell you why (of course ;) Many of you, like myself, probably saw the launch of this new product on The Celebrity Apprentice , when the teams were tasked with throwing a summer themed party for Crystal Light Mocktails!  While watching that episode I instantly thought that mocktails sounded like a great idea for spring/ summer parties, but with only 5 calories and aspartame, I was a little skeptical about how these new drinks would actually taste.  So when the opportunity arose to sample the Appletini flavored mocktail, through  Crystal Light's Facebook page , I immediately signed up. Once I tried the drink, I was amazed at how great it tasted!!! It didn't have that nasty aspartame aftertaste that most diet drinks have.  Another thing I really liked is that the mocktails come in pitcher sized packets th

For those of you who are still skeptical, I just want to offer you a little proof of all the free samples, offers, and coupons that are available! If you are interested in cashing in on these offers I highly recommend following  My Free Product Samples  and/or  Freebies~Samples~Deals .  Also, for free full size products I recommend becoming a  Bzz Agent , and joining  CrowdTap  and  House Party ! Pic 1 :  These are some of the free FULL SIZED products I have gotten from Bzz Agent, CrowdTap, House Party, and various sweepstakes! In addition to what is shown I also got Just Dance 3 and Just Dance Kids 2 for Xbox 360... plus a ton of coupons! Pic 2 :  These are various freebies and a huge stack of coupons (on the right) I received as a result of following the freebie sites previously mentioned. Pic 3 : These are some of the samples of lotions, perfume, oral hygiene products, feminine hygiene products, and energy drinks I've received in the past year. Pic

If you're looking to make a customized card for your dad this Father's Day, I have just the place!   Treat.com  is having a special offer for new customers. You can get a free card when you use the promo code FREETREAT.   The "Daddy-O's" image is the front of the card I made for my Pops. (I think I'm safe posting it here because I'm pretty sure my dad doesn't read this lol.) They have lots of designs to choose from and you can add pictures to the inside too! Another great thing is that the inside text is totally customizable as well but, starting off, they have a generic inside written so if you don't like to write, or can't think of what to say, there's something there! They also have non-picture cards, so there's something for everyone! And they can mail it directly to your dad for the price of a stamp, or they can mail it to you for free!

I just wanted to let everyone know that House Party  has a few new parties you can apply to host this summer! If you still haven't signed up with House Party you are seriously missing out! For those of you who still don't know about this amazing site I'll explain what they do.... Once you sign up at House Party, you can apply to host specific parties, and they have parties for everyone, so whether you want to host a kid-friendly party, a girl's night, a game night, whatever, there is something for you! Signing up is extremely easy, you just give them your name, address, e-mail, etc, and you're on your way! You will get e-mails when a new party opens that you can apply to host.  You just click the link in the e-mail and it takes you to the party's official House Party webpage! Then you just click "Apply to Host" and you're nearly finished! They will ask a few quick questions related to the party, and that's it.  You will hear bac

First, I'd like to thank Cher from My Free Product Samples for posting about this new site/ app! The idea behind Trymbl is to let the users sample the products they are interested in buying, for free (don't take my word for it, watch the video at the end of this post :)  So, no more buying shampoo and finding out it smells stronger than you can handle... No more buying ten moisturizers before you find one that is right for you... No more wasting a ton of money on things you only use once! Now you might be thinking "what's so different about this site/ app? There are tons of product samples out there now, and plenty of sites that tell you how to get them!" Well, Trymbl takes the idea of sampling and pushes it further. If you see a product on the shelf that you are interested in, you can scan the bar code and get a sample sent to you (ideally).  That's not all though, you can also pull up reviews of the product that other Trymbl members have posted,

Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you know about this awesome app I found this week, called  Viggle .  It let's you earn points by watching tv! You just have to touch the screen when the app is open and it will listen to what you're watching for a few seconds then you "Check In" to the show and earn your points!!! What's really great is that the shows don't have to be on TV at the time you track them, so you can track shows from dvr, hulu, network websites, or anywhere else that plays them (as long as it's no more than 7days after the show originally airs)!! Plus, nearly every channel and show is track-able, so you can just watch what you normally do and earn rewards for it!! As a bonus, you can play trivia type games along with Viggle, as your favorite shows air.  They generally ask questions about the previous week's  episode, so you don't even have to be watching the show to play the game!  Correct answers are awarded 25 points, and if

     My favorite app of the moment has got to be LuckyStar's " MP3 Ringtone Maker " for Android! This app allows you to download tons of popular songs for free, which is wonderful... no more paying for music downloads, YAY!       Plus, the best thing is that the app itself is free :) Another great feature of this app is that it allows you to pick ANY segment of any of the music, voice, or sound tracks on your phone and make them into ringtones! I highly suggest downloading this app, you won't regret it!!

A few weeks ago I received a free package of Children's Claritin Chewables via BzzAgent.com! Bella, my daughter, has awful allergies this time of year and she generally hates liquid/ chewable medicines, but she actually liked this one, AND it worked without making her sleepy like Benadryl does! If you haven't tried Children's Claritin Chewables with your kiddos, I highly recommend them!!! You can find all the dosage information at the Claritin website ! Plus, if you try Children's Claritin Chewables now, you can use this  valuable coupon , and save $3 on any Children's Non-Drowsy Claritin Allergy Product (4oz or 20 count), but hurry this offer expires June 11, 2012!!! Enjoy!
