New Yoplait Light flavors

National research reveals need for “smart snacking” options
National dietary research from NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey)** revealed that traditional meal patterns are rapidly changing. On average, Americans are snacking more than twice a day and are consuming more than 240 calories per snack. Given this fact, consumers would benefit from snacks that can satisfy a craving and provide important nutrients without a lot of calories.

No matter how you slice it, the rich and creamy flavors of Yoplait Light will help health-conscious consumers enjoy everyday indulgences without the guilt, says a Yoplait marketing manager. Here’s proof that it is possible to have your cake and eat it, too!

The new Yoplait Light cake-inspired flavors is available nationwide at a suggested retail price of 72¢ per 6 oz cup.

Homemade Rose Sugar

While I was in Portland Oregon, my friend had some rose sugar that was so yummy with tea. I tried to find some locally and was unsuccessful. I went on line and found a really easy recipe. 1 cup of organic rose petals well crushed, stems removed to 2 cups of granulated sugar. Put it in a mason jar for about 2 weeks and shake it a couple times a day. Here are some pictures of the sugar infusing and then the finished product. If any one is looking for a unique shower favor or would just like some for their own personal use I would be happy to sell you some. E-mail me or comment on my blog for pricing.

Gotta love Ulta

If you've never been to Ulta, you really must check it out for great bargains galore. The store is similar to Sephora. It carries both drugstore and department store cosmetics, hair products, and perfume. They also have a high end salon on premise. If you sign up at there website http://www.ulta.com/ they will e-mail you weekly coupons that you can use in there store. My favorite thing to do is scour their clearance areas. Products are usually marked down 50-60%. Sometimes they run specials where you can take another 40% off clearance. They also accept the $3.50 off a $10.00 purchase on clearance. They have been running a check out special lately that if you sign up for a 2 month risk free InStyle magazine subscription, you get a gift. I have received a really nice tote bag and a full size tube of Baby Phat body lotion. You can sign up as many times as you want. Just call the toll free number to cancel the magazine if you don't want to be billed for it. When you go to the store sign up for their frequent buyer card. They mail you coupons for free products when you've spent at least $50 in a given cycle. The more you spend the more free stuff you get. I got all of this yesterday for $7.00. There is a store located by Hooters on 41 in Sarasota and a new one in the Target shopping center on University Parkway. Have fun!!

Computer crash

I have become so dependent on my computer in the last year that when it crashed 2 weeks ago, I was like an addict going through withdrawals. Apparently the source of my computers demise was due to certain sources ( I'm not mentioning any names ) my obsession with freebie sites. After some careful calculations it has been determined that my freebie habit is costing me in computer repair bills approximately $300 a year. I would say that is a lot of enjoyable entertainment for a year. Other then the headaches it has caused me , it was worth every penny.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Greatest find of the week! While digging through the games at the 50% off goodwill on the trail, I thought I hit the jackpot when I found a plastic baggie full of Pokemon cards for Ben sitting in a box with some other random items. The final price after discount for the whole box was $1.oo. When I got the box home and looked through it I found a Nintento gameboy advance with a game in it. It was covered with stickers so I cleaned it up and went to the store to get a power cord. It charged right up. Used ones like this sell for $39.99. Ben has not put it down for 3 days. $1.00 has bought me alot of peace and quiet. Amen! P.S. Also got monoply junior for $1.00 too at the same store.

Free stuff week of 8/25-8/30

This was kind of a slow week for freebies. The best was the Gift pack from Sturdiwheat company. They're a small company out of Redwing, Mn. I had a pancake party on Sunday and made their all natural almond,pecan,and walnut pancakes and their sweet cardamon bread. All was met with rave reviews. If you want to try their products you can go online at http://www.sturdiwheat.com/ or call 1-800-201-9650 and ask for Lynn. Free shipping with orders over $45.00. Unfortunately their products are not available here in Sarasota. Try your local Whole Foods.

My new tarnished silver obsession

Lately I have been very attracted to tarnished silver and the aged patina that it has. I started noticing it on my trips to Goodwill and wondering how can use these discarded tea set pieces in a new and creative way. Then it dawned on me that they would look great in a bathroom or on a vanity. Fill them with cotton balls, Q-tips, make-up brushes, beach glass and shell collections, or whatever you use regularly.I usually find pieces at Goodwill from$1.99 to $3.99.The more ornate the better.

Goodwill Hunting

Great finds at the Goodwill in Laurel yesterday. I found 4 pairs of boys cargo shorts,1 Ralph Lauren plaid button down boys shirt, 2 boys hawaiin shirts,1 boys swim shirt,1 tie-dye shirt,1 men's Sean John shirt,2 silverplated pieces( I'm collecting now ),1 paint kit w/canvas',1 melissa & Doug wood'n crafts kit ( both kits have never been open ), Cute toss pillow, handmade afghan,and a collectible plate. Including tax $38.55. I call that alot of fun for $38 dollars!!!!

Freebies in the mail 8/18-8/23

Here is a sampling of some of the wonderful freebies I got this week. The 2 tubes of hemp cream came from The Body Shop using a $10 off coupon on a $10 purchase. The cream was $10 of course. I also got a 4 pc. facial kit from Origin's which recently opened a counter in the Southgate Dillards. It involved a 2 minute consultation and then I got a gift set with MSRP of $40. The Porsche Posters were an awesome freebie, very suitable for framing. The Mountain Meadow Herbs Femme Defense herbal dietary supplement is a full size bottle MSRP of $29.95. Not counting the magazines and other random small samples, I would say I hauled in about $100 in free stuff this week!!! P.S. I will never have to buy tampons again, I get sample packs practically every week.

Free in Mail week of 8/11/08

These are all the samples and free stuff I got in the mail this week. The Max Factor was the best of all. That came from http://www.bzzagent.com/ sign up to be a member and get free stuff too. Here's a link for a $10 off coupon off a purchase of $10 or more for the Body Shop http://www.spoofee.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1321&stc=1&d=1218966422

How to make a shell mirror

It's really easy. All you need is a bunch of shells, glue gun and a mirror with a frame. I used the smaller,flatter shells to form my bottom layer and then used the rarer more decorative shells to form a pattern on top. Then I used the largest shells to form a bonnet at the top. Make sure you use alot of glue. It will form glue like webs ,but those are easily removed at the end. Hang only in doors if you are using a glue gun. I found my mirror at a garage sale for five dollars. These mirrors sell in designer shops for $300 and more.

Scrubbing Bubbles- Action Scrubber

So here's the scoop- I am an agent with Bzzagent ( a network and testing team ) I'm not undercover, I want you all to know. What I do is sign up for new product campaigns, receive product in the mail , test, it buzz about it with people I know and then report back . Pretty simple and fun and a way to be one of the first to try something new. Today I'm trying a new product by Scrubbing Bubbles action scrubber. It's a sponge like device that fits in your hand comfortable and has disposable cleaning pads that stick on it like Velcro. You moisten the pad and then go to town cleaning the soap scum off your tub, sinks, toilets wherever soap scum lingers. The smell is a nice citrus scent and you don't need to put any elbow grease into it what so ever. It leaves your porcelain clean and sparkly. Please note: this product does not remove mold however. I give it a five star rating. If anyone is interested in trying this product I have samples and coupons, just e-mail me at inarobn@aol.com

My $20 a day addiction to Goodwill

It started years ago but it was an occasionally recreational hobby. Ever since my visit to Portland Oregon it has become a daily obsession. Portland Oregon has the most awesome Goodwills. They are like high end consignment shops with designer labels and clothes in pristine quality. I found a pair of Seven jeans for $12.99 and a Gusto shirt for $2.29. That's how it started. Now I'm scouring the local sarasota Goodwills whenever I can. It doesn't help that I have one right down the street from me. It's like having a crack house right next door. I spend on an average visit about $20. I leave with bags of Gap clothes that are in perfect condition and in style. If anyone can offer some advise on how I can make money doing this, please notify me as soon as possible before I spend all my savings and end up working at Goodwill.

When shopping is better then sex!

Yesterday I fell on the greatest shopping deal of a life time. All of you in the Sarasota area check it out. Those of you from out of town will just have to drool. A new Bealls clearance outlet has opened in Osprey Florida. Huge store and the sale was - 70% off then 40% off and then an additional 15% off at the register. We are talking great brand names here!! I spent $68 and here is my list: 2 sets of Pokemon 3pc. jammies for Ben, 3 men's shirts ( one was a Columbia brand ) 5 junior hip shirts, cool Jonn hardy swim trunks for Ben, 4 panties and a bra, super cool necklace,3 dresses, billibong flips, and a purse. Some of the shirts were only 60 cents!!!! I am in heaven- not only was it fun but I am still on a shoppers high. I hope you all who go there do as well as me.
