Enjoy Some Coffee Fair Trade Style

Time for another BzzCampaign! If you're not familiar with BzzAgent, it's a website that allows you to take surveys and if you're the right fit for the study you may be chosen to participate. So far this is my third study, and I currently have another pending as well. I really enjoy doing these, mostly because I love free stuff! This time I was chosen to test out Green Mountain Coffee's new fair trade line.

Fair trade coffee is certified as having been produced and marketed to a states set of standards. In GM's case they are helping coffee farmers provide a better life for their families and communities. Two of the ways they are helping is by providing clean drinking water and building better roads in said communities. Kelly Clarkson has been chosen to be a part of this campaign, if you would like to learn more about it, click the link below.  You can also check out the varieties that fair trade comes in from GM.

I received three double packs of KCups to sample, all signed by Ms. Clarkson. I found the flavor to be very woodsy and strong. I guess the best way to describe it would be a heavily aromatic, robust regular cup of coffee. I definitely couldn't taste the "fair trade" difference.  They went quick though and I really enjoyed them. My samples for purpose of testing were provided in KCup form, but on the GM website you can purchase the Three Continent Blend, as well as, other varieties in the normal bag of grounds (Newman's Own is also available).

I don't think this coffee is anything to write home about, but I did enjoy my samples. I've included some codes for $2 off a 24 pack of KCups on the Green Mountain website. Also if you find yourself in the market for a Keurig or Vue machine, I have included two codes for 50% off at keurig.com. The code works on select varieties and is not for use on the uber fancy latte machines. You can go to Starbucks if you're jonesing that bad for one. All of that good stuff will be listed below. That's all for now!

I Live a Glam Life...Kinda ~ November 2015 Birchbox!

This month I decied to do something a bit different and get the Guest Editor or Curated box. It helped a lot that the box was curated by one of my favorite YouTubers Tati Westbrook! She along with Emily Eddington ( Emilynoel83 ) and Melissa Autry ( Melmphs ) are gurus I consistently watch. And by consistently watch I mean every week! I trust Tati, so I knew I would love everything in her box! Avene Hydrance Optimale Hydrating Serum/ Full-size $36 This gentle, hypoallergenic hyrating serum plumps skin while promoting cellular regeneration. I was so excited to try this! Allure actually recommends this brand to girls like me with oily/blemish prone skin, so I couldn't wait to try! I agree taht its hydrating, so hydrating that I actually disn't feel the need to moisturize. Not a strong scent if any and just really great all around. I kinda litke it better than Shiseido Ultimune, which I just finished up. Final Grade: B+ Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo/ Ful...

Effortless Summer ~July 2016 Sephora Play~

We didn't get spoilers for this month's box until right before it shipped out. I'm not 100℅ sure of that reason, other than to torture us. The only clue we did have is possible spoilers and word that they were splitting up the boxes according to skin type (combo/oily, normal/dry). Knowing that I filled out my profile for oily skin and that even on my beauty insider profile (Sephora's rewards program) I'm listed as oily I didnt worry about which box I'd get. Until I checked my Play subscription and I got the normal/dry box. So yeah, here it goes... First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser (Full-size $20): This is something I've used before and currently own a full size of. This is a nice face wash. I like it during the winter to use after a workout. It removes my surface oils and dirt, but doesn't strip your skin. It's a bit like soap, so if you're not into facial soaps I would skip. I passed this sample along because I honestly didn't need it. ...

Memoir of the Sunday Brunch by Julia Pandl

Woo Woo 2014, a month late but hey I'm a busy girl. So I've tackled the first book of the new year and it was Julia Pandl's Memoir of the Sunday Brunch.   Pandl a stand-up comic originally from the Milwaukee area tells, personal family tales of her sweet, but often failed childhood memories. From being the youngest of nine to free child-slave labor at her father's restaurant. Told in two parts, the first of funny brunch serving, sibling squabbles, and a lot of twitching; The second of more recent memories of caring for someone who once cared for you. Photo Courtesy of Goodreads.com "I thought my dad was just like every other dad, until the day I worked my first Sunday Brunch" Be prepared for the second half of the book to shock you emotionally. It goes from a funny eye rolling recount of childhood, transitioning into being an adult child with rapidly aging parents. The second half was particularly heartwarming and sweet. Of course there's still som...
