Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel Inserts Review

I'm a BzzAgent! I joined back in May or June of this year! And it was slow at first, but now I'm loving it! I got the Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heels Campaign in July and received my FREE sample in August. I finally got around to trying them out this past weekend (notice September!).

This was what I got in the BzzCampaign Packet! A nice welcome and encouragement letter, a Bzzing about Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel's Tip Sheet, a FREE sample of Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel insoles, and a lot of $4 off coupons (they are approx. $13 normally).

Before I get to my opinion of the product let me share what Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel say about these insoles!

Product Features:

• Ultra-soft gel arch that shifts the pressure off the balls of your feet helping to prevent aches and pains in heels 2 inches or higher. 
• Include massaging gel waves to offer super soft cushioning 
• Clear color makes them invisible to others
• The slim fit won't make your shoes feel tight
• Adhesive on the bottom to ensure the insoles stay in place
• The adhesive will not damage your high heels when you remove them! 
• Allows you to wear your heels longer! 
• Fits sizes 6 to 10
• Costs $12.99 per pair 
• Found in the foot care aisle of most drugstores, mass retailers (e.g. Target and Wal-mart), and grocery stores
• MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF you don't feel like they are beneficial to you after trying.

 This weekend, I found a pair of 3 inch heels to test drive the Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel Inserts with. I opened the package...realized I needed to read the directions, so then I read...and re-read to ensure I placed properly the first time. Check. The inserts nicely tell you which goes in which shoe. At this point I peeled off the backing and attached - lining up the heel w/ the heel and to the inner side of the shoe. Ta da!

With the inserts properly placed you can barely see them! That's great! You can tell they are there if looking, but a glance will just show off my shoes! I put these 3 inch Candies on and wore them for more than an hour. Which is impressive! These shoes have not been my favorite as they are uncomfortable. Well, at first it was weird, but weirdness gave way to such a wonderful feeling on my feet of distributed pressure. The inserts were great and stayed in place! I'd recommend them for use in your favorite pair of pumps to get longer wear out of them.

I feel so lucky to have had this opportunity to try this product for free! I'm a BzzAgent and this is one of the many reasons why! If you want to join BzzAgent - sign up HERE! Check out Dr. Scholl's For Her on Facebook.

Zatarain's Frozen Entree Review (Smiley360)

Hello! I'm a Smiley360 member!I joined sometime in July and they selected me to join the Zatarain's Frozen meal try new things campaign!

Sometime while I was on vacation, in the mail came a card on how to share Zatarain's and earn smiles and a free product coupon!

So, last week when we went to the grocery store, I brought my free product coupon and looked for these...to my surprise we found 4 or 5 flavors and they were on sale buy 1 get 1 free! So, my boyfriend picked out two flavors and I picked out two flavors (this ended up as 4 different flavors).  In the end due to the way the store actually does buy 1 get 1's it's more like I bought 1 and a half - and got 2 and a half free. Ohh ya!

This week for lunch, on different days, I tried the two I chose. Dirty Rice with Beef & Pork, and Jambalaya with Sausage.

The Jambalaya I ate mid-week. It smelled really good...and took a minute longer to cook than stated. At first it was rather tasty...but as I kept eating it, I was not quite as happy with it. I think it was because of the sausage they use, it was making my mouth feel really greasy and I did not like that. So in the end, this one was a 3 star frozen meal.

Today for lunch, I had the Dirty Rice w/ Beef&Pork, I have to say overall this was a much more enjoyable frozen meal. I liked it better, but I am not sure I'll be switching from the boxed Zatarain's to the frozen meals any time soon. I love their boxed items and have to say they taste so much better.

I do look forward to trying more products with Smiley360 and was greatly impressed with how quickly I was invited to join a free product campaign (some other sites, make you wait until you are a certain level). I did have 2 other opportunities, but I was not the right fit, and it's been a while...so here's hoping another comes my way soon!

If you'd like a coupon to try Zatarain's Frozen Meals yourself, click here! They can be found in the freezer section of your grocery store, if I could find it here, I bet you can find it where you are!

And here's a complete list of Zatarain's Frozen Meal options! By the looks of it, we sure do not have the selection that could be available at your local store!

Instant Win Games (IWG) & Contests

Theme Parks

I'm a member of Crowdtap and they have discussions that we can join and give our insight with the potential to become a Top Performer and win cash. There was a discussion called, "Theme Parks" last month and I was one of three that were Top Performers. I realized that I went to theme parks A LOT...that I had a lot of knowledge on the subject and a lot to share. Since my blog is about sharing, I thought I would share those posts I made on Crowdtap that won me a Top Performer! This was the first:

 

Pete & I outside of Germany at EPCOT

The themes parks I've been to are Sea World, Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Wild Adventures (if you can call it a theme park). Living in FL over 20 years, I somehow never got over to Tampa for Busch Gardens....weird. I've had many experiences at theme parks...from my first time to Magic Kingdom in 8th grade, to first time at EPCOT in 11th grade...and then again to Magic Kingdom at Grad Night (lived in Ft. Myers area)...and then Spring Breaks in college to all the parks (lived in Tallahassee)...and then to living in Orlando and getting season passes. Mostly all good experiences! Though with heat and lines there's always cranky moments and imperfect moments! I've probably been the most to EPCOT, Sea World, and Magic Kingdom, and less to Hollywood Studios (it was always MGM Studios until some time while we had passes...it just changed...and temporary signs were everywhere), Animal Kingdom, Universal, and Islands of Adventure.

I've had a 3 month pass to Universal/Islands of Adventure. I've had 2 Silver year passes to Sea World. And I've had 3 seasonal year passes to Disney. All while living in Orlando...lived there for just over 5.5 years. Woo...passes. LOL. I did overlap Sea World & Disney once...and yes...there were some months with no passes. Theme parks are absolutely amazing to have nearby. When you want someplace to go with fun things to do and lovely scenery...it's so great to have passes and drive on over. We lived about 30 mins from Sea World and 45/50 mins to Disney...not too bad to go spend a day or even 2 hours!

Seriously, so worth it. But, now I can't stand in a line for more than 20, maybe 30 minutes at Disney...seriously some fun rides there, but NOTHING is worth standing in line FOREVER! When the Toy Story Mania ride came out..first time we went by 220 min wait...what? Next time 160 min wait...uh no. 120 min wait...seriously? Next time, 90 mins....no thank you. One magical day...it said 30 min...we went in...and in 20 min we were on the ride. Oh it's so fun...but no way would I ever have been happy to stand in line for 4 hours. Living nearby, you know...and you know when to go...you learn..and with having passes...it's OK to skip and go back another time. I understand if you can't go back another time...but keep in mind...check back later or get fast passes for the rides you really want on early in the day (as they run out of them). I remember a time when fast passes didn't exist...lol... Sea World seriously had a lot less issue with line waiting than Disney does. Universal/Islands also had less issues, but wonder now w/ Harry Potter (want to see, haven't seen, now live in SC).

 Pete & I w/ Cinderella's Castle in the background.

This picture was taken last fall during Thanksgiving weekend. I can't even express how beautiful Disney does it up for the holidays and it starts the week before Thanksgiving...so don't feel like you have to wait for Christmas...go sooner than later...because it only gets busier that week of Christmas to New Years. Seasonal Pass members have black out dates for a reason! :)

I highly recommend going to check it out during the holiday season for their decorations. Animal Kingdom is my least favorite, as they are more subdued and outdoorsy, favorite is Magic Kingdom for their decorations. My golly...that castle! EPCOT and Hollywood Studios do it up nice, also. And then of course check out all the hotels - that's free! They are all decorated differently and gingerbread houses in Boardwalk and Grand Floridian. WOWSA. The first time I saw was 2 yrs ago. So, even someone going a lot, new things can be found, with so much there. Disney is absolutely beautiful for the holidays! The week before Thanksgiving through the beginning of Jan. :)

**Don't get me wrong Disney isn't cheap! Do expect to spend money! Tips in will be in another post. **

Last week there was a link going round and round on Facebook about this site. Said you will get a $10 credit for signing up. Ok, I ignored it. A wine site...ships wine to your house - exotic and hard to find at a discounted price. So what. LOL. Well, then my cousin signed up, so I thought what the heck. I signed up through her link...and didn't get a $10 credit. I was not happy! So, I asked other pages that had posted and they said, email them. So, I did. First email, no response. Next day emailed again and asked why I didn't get a credit when EVERYONE was. Well, Lot18 wrote me back and gave me the $10 credit. They said I had clicked through a friend link and that's why I didn't get the credit. To join you MUST be invited apparently (so click my link and do what I did). Also, I then was told another trick to get $10 more ... put an item in your cart, then leave and don't go back. They will email you and offer you $10 more. Ta da, now you have $20 in credits! The extra $10 must be spent w/in 7 days or it's lost.

I used my $20 today, so as not to lose the extra $10...and ta da they did free shipping! I got this fabulous bottle that I looked up was worth $57, they were selling for $34.95, and then $20 off and free shipping...ta da steal at $15... A lot of people got free wine or free coffee. Oh ya..they sell gourmet foods now. :)

So...I look forward to my steal of a wine coming in the mail...ahhh. Hope you will, too!

:)
