riceworks Confess Your Snacking Sins House Party

Tweet

It is always a wonderful thing to be selected as a host for one of the House Party parties...the last one I hosted was back in July 2011, so I was itching for another..and well I got one! The riceworks Confess Your Snacking Sins House Party for January 21, 2012! Woo! What a great party to start the New Year with!

For the first time the party pack arrived early! Inside were 15 Halos, 15 "I Confessed" stickers, 15 $1 off coupons, 45 Recipe cards (15 of each), 6 5.5oz bags of riceworks, and 6 free riceworks coupons for the host to buy more!

The day of the party, I bought some ingredients to make cheese nachos with the riceworks and got 2 more bags for free. Then after some cleaning, I set up for the party!

The nachos were a hit! They were the start of the party...a teaser introduction to riceworks. Everyone gathered in the living room for the 20 questions game. I had everyone write down the snack they can almost never turn down...and I was the moderator...so I shuffled them around and stuck the sticky notes on everyone's heads. Then we went around and the person who was able to guess in the least amount of questions which snack was on their forehead won one of the free product coupons! Amazingly...one got in 2 questions..and another in 3. Have to say, they were pretty broad categories...hehe tougher for those with a specific snacking sin - our groups were Boston Cream Pie, Ghirardelli Dark Chocolates, Lots of Chocolate Chip Cookies, Pizza (x2), Cheese (x2), and Cream-filled donuts. What I can hardly say no to...is pizza and cream filled confections. Mmm.

Then we had a round of everyone telling their worst snacking moment - when they ate the most - a binge of snacks if you will! I felt like I certainly couldn't top all theirs...I snack over days...not in one sitting...lol...or else I'm blocking it out!

After that, it was on to the taste testing of all 6 flavors! Sweet Chili, Sea Salt (least favorite of the group), Salsa Fresca (one of the tops), Tangy BBQ (one of the tops), Parmesan & Sun-dried Tomato, and Wild riceworks Sea Salt & Black Sesame. My favs were Salsa Fresca and the Sea Salt & Black Sesame. My boyfriend...well he sort of liked the Tangy BBQ, but otherwise, he doesn't care for them. He will eat them if he has to.

The party lasted longer than I thought, which was a good thing...and I know everyone had a good time trying a new product. I know I sure enjoyed trying them all!

All of my opinions of the product are my own...I'm only provided with a party pack and no obligation to post...only to share!

ABBA Wacky Dance Party (12/4/11)

Thanks to Crowdtap and Ubisoft I was able to have an ABBA Wacky Dance Party on 12/4/11. The party pack included:

• Seven Steps to a Super 70s Party pamphlet
• ABBA You Can Dance Wii Game
• ABBA You Can Dance T-shirt
• ABBA's Gold Album

The ABBA You Can Dance Party Pack.

We started out the party with appetizers and chatting it up in the kitchen. Appetizers included cheese & crackers, Swedish meatballs, peppermint cookies, vodka gummies, jell-o shots, and daiquiris.  Most had dinner before they came over, so the alcohol was there to encourage dancing! LOL.

Peppermint Cookies

Tie-dyed Jell-o Shots

Swedish Fish

70s Paperware

Vodka soaked Gummies

Swedish Meatballs

After the appetizers, we moved into the living room...where my boyfriend had set up lights on the floor to outline like a dance floor! And we had some 70's decorations (along with Christmas decorations) out. I think it looked great! I even got colored covers for the Wii controllers.

The decorations...woo!

Crash course into how the game works...and we were all set to become Dancing Queens! Just about everyone got up and danced at least once...while some danced over and over again! Everyone definitely had fun!

This game is a lot of fun and its nice that it has the musical mode! It was too hilarious sometimes...watching the screen and the dancers! One thing I do not like about the game, is that to win, you really only need to move the one hand holding the Wii controller. I think it'd be better if had to move both, and used gloves or something like in the game. It did seems girls were more inclined to do the arm and foot movements more than the guys. It has a huge variety of ABBA songs, but after so long...one might long for variety...I guess that's why one would buy more than one of these You Can Dance games.

All images and opinions of the game are my own! I only received the party pack from Crowdtap and no compensation for my opinions.
