www.otrib.com Bzz Review

"Otrib provides tools, at no cost, to plan a funeral and notify family and friends. This makes the site useful. Otrib’s users inform you of which “end of life” companies are good and those that are less than reputable. In addition to user reviews, Otrib’s community forums help you deal with the feelings of grief and loss when someone passes away. This makes the site invaluable."


This campaign has sounded sad, gruesome, depressing, and I have avoided joining. Who wants to think about death? Recently, someone passed away that I knew through a friend of a friend. Then today, sadly someone else passed. Otrib claims that is "Lets you name an heir to your Facebook account and specify its handling after you die." Interestingly enough, over 500 million people are on Facebook, and Otrib claims that 5.7 million of them are dead. It's a great concept, what a wonderful place for family members to go & see how many people loved their loved one who has passed. All you have to do is name an "heir" to your Facebook account. They could share the news + make your "wall" public, so others can see photo's, post a memory, and grieve in their own way. Along with this genius service that is free, you can talk to others on a community forum, find a funeral home locally, sign up for a voice mail notification program, & much more. What a great service that is provided in such a distressing time!BzzAgent Badge

Target, oh Target

You live near me, you have everything I could ever want & need. You have amazing clearance prices and your meat prices beat out all the competition, and your meat is YUMMY! Oh Target, oh Target, you are amazing & I spend all my money with you! Now I get to save 5% with my Target Card which makes me shop with you more often! 




I feel like I am at Target every day. II often am!  love their online coupons and the Sunday ad is what i usually check out first in the Sunday paper. My local target just added a mini grocery store. IT's not big like a Super Target, but has the basics of what i need. I no longer have to make 2 trips to get household items & grocery store items. This is pretty major since I live in the midwest and the winter can be so cold!BzzAgent Badge

Above is the text that the company claims their product can do. Here's my opinion (voice of the customer). COMFORT! I love this bra! The sizing makes total sense by looking at the photo! Since I am a "visual" learner, their sizing chart was easy to understand. I was sized a few years ago, after the "girls" lost their perkiness from breastfeeding my kids! I was wearing a 34A but measured a 32C! Who knew! This bra was so comfortable, I actually fell asleep wearing it one night! That has never happened before!! I wear this bra often, but mostly for working out or underneath my chunky warm sweaters as I need as much lift as a girl can get, otherwise I feel shapeless. I will definitely be buying more of these but wish they had padded bras for us smaller girls. I also received a pair of panties which are probably my most favorite but least sexiest! They didn't show any panty lines, and were breathable & comfortable (never rode up)!  I'll be buying more of the panties for sure!

Welch's® Healthy Start Bzz Review

"Bring the goodness of grapes to your breakfast table with a new juice that's as good for you as it tastes".

Mmmmm,  we love grape juice in our house! I don't buy juice often as there is a lot of sugar and calories and I prefer the kids eat fruit vs. drinking fruit. When I was offered this campaign, I jumped! With winter approaching & the kids back in school, this would be a great way to incorporate some extra Vitamin C into their diet. An added perk is that there is calcium! I got my kit & my coupon for a free carton. I went to the store, ran into another mom & gave her a coupon. We had a hard time finding the juice in the juice aisle but eventually found it in the refrigerated aisle. That was a bit frustrating, but I suppose the milk carton look gives it the refrigerated appeal!  My son was so excited to try this new juice! He loved it & drank the whole thing in a day (which is why I don't like to buy juice!). I had a glass and it was gooooooooooooood! However, there's a whopping 170 calories in an 8 ounce glass. WOW! That's A LOT! I guess I was thinking this was a lower calorie drink since there are no added sugars & it's more Natural. Nope, with 42 carbs & 170 calories in a single serving, I doubt I'll buy this again.BzzAgent Badge

Tom's of Maine Wicked Fresh Toothpaste Bzz Review

I'm all for fresh breath & a long lasting fresh feeling mouth!  I was asked to review Tom's of Maine Wicked Fresh toothpaste and I eagerly agreed because I've never used the Tom's of Maine brand. This toothpaste appears to be "wickedly fresh" and will naturally give me long lasting fresh breath and is made with all natural products. I received a full size tube & some samples right around Halloween. I'm giddy, like a kid in a candy store when I get something new to try out! I ran upstairs & pulled out my toothbrush & brushed away. The flavor is lightly minty, not overpowering. It was almost a creamy mint. The color is a greenish-blue and looks & smells like toothpaste. Brushing my teeth created a white foam. I noticed this foam in the corners of my mouth about 20 minutes later - yeah that annoying left over white crusty stuff. Yuk! After I brushed, I went to put the cap on top of the tube and noticed the toothpaste had squirted out on its own & I had to get a tissue to remove the extra toothpaste. This was a common occurring every time I brushed. Very annoying. That turned me off right away! I never felt like my mouth was minty fresh. Maybe it was minty fresh, but the mild flavoring of mint just didn't give me that freshly brushed feeling.  I had my kids try it & they thought it was too spicy. They are tweens but they still like the flavor of the kiddie toothpastes. I gave away coupons to my neighbor moms, who are awesome friends, and gave their kids the extra sample sizes of toothpastes to the kids on Halloween night (along with some candy). I've heard pretty much the same rumblings from the neighbor moms. Same problem with getting the tube back on the toothpaste, not feeling like they have a fresh mouth, and their kids didn't like the taste. Nope, this didn't do it & I will not be purchasing this product. Bummer!BzzAgent Badge

How do you Buzz???

So, first of all, I'm a Bzzagent. Haven't heard of it? I highly suggest you check it out at www.bzzagent.com.  I've been a member for years & received products to check out & review. It's been a great way to test new products, give feedback, and about 80% of the time I am sold on the item I try & I enjoy introducing my friends and family to the new products & share my coupons. It's kind of like when you go to the grocery store & they have a free sample to try & eat. Especially with my picky eater kids over the last many moons, the marketing works because I've found myself having them try something new or unusual that they like & of course I'll but it at the store. Because my kids were able to try before we buy, I've often spent more money in my shopping trips just because we've been able to try something out of the ordinary! Being a bzzagent is the same kind of thing - try before you buy, be brutally honest in your online review of the product, share with your friends & family members (usually coupons). Bzz away!BzzAgent Badge
