Target Sample Spot

Hey Bloggies, Savers, and Freebie Jeebies! I just wanted to drop in real quick and name drop a couple of my sites for freebies, samples, and what not. 1. Target Sample Spot: They almost hide it, keeping it in the "more" section, but here's a quick way to get there. TargetSampleSpot.com Everything is always free, and sample size. Check back every day to see what they post and claim yours. They have everything from beauty products to OTC products to household stuff. 2. FreebieShark: Freebieshark is something I found on Facebook. They post deals in real time as they are available. I don't know how they do it, but if you "Like" them on Facebook you can get updates on freebies. I got a Bali Sports Bra, K-cups, Heel Cream, Essie Nail Polish, and tons more than I can mention. Heres a quick way to get to them Freebieshark 3. Swaggable.com: I am sure I have mentioned this before but I mention it again because I noticed that they are still not a massive deal, which shocks me because they are a fave of mine! I joined about 7 months ago. It's kind of like Twitter but for reviews on ORGANIC and ALL NATURAL products. I get a couple of treats a month from Swaggable. I just keep thinking about how there are so many companies now who send out those boxes of samples now, and they charge monthly! Swaggable is free and there are no surveys. I don't know about you, but I burned out on surveys a long time ago. Anyway, be sure to follow me dkaykraft and I will follow you back ;-) 4. Bzzagent.com: I will always sing their praises. I have been a bzzagent for 8 or 9 months now and I still think they are so much fun! They have the most user friendly website of all of the similar kinds of sites. You just sign up, its totally free, and after a couple of weeks they send you a full size product to try. After you try it, you tell your social media friends what you think of it. They even pay you in "my points" for your trouble. They shipping is free and you never ship anything back. I know. It sounds too good to be true. There are a lot of stupid copy cats out there who charge for membership, or promise samples that never come. Remember the whole reason I run this blog is to tell you how to avoid those scams. So here they are bzzagent.com I am trying Kashi Hummus Crisps now, and just finished a campaign for Concannon Vineyards Wine. Keep checking back for more product reviews and recipes. I try to update often. So, here you have it. Check them out and come back and tell me about it ;-)

Dana's White Sangria with Concannon Vineyards Chardonnay

I got lucky and found some Concannon Vineyard Chardonnay at my local Winn-Dixie, and it was ON SALE!! That means it's time for Concannon Vineyard white sangria, Dana style. I found a great golden honeydew melon, and some cantaloupe. That's really all you need, but if you want to have some fun, add to it, mango, and star fruit. Not to be overly casual but here's how I do it. 1 large bottle of Concannon Vineyard Chardonnay 1 cup of honeydew melon 1 cup of cantaloupe 1/2 cup of mango 1/2 cup of star fruit Ice 1. Pour your wine into a pitcher with a lid. (The lid matters because sitting out, the wine can take on flavors from the fridge or get a little sour.) 2. add in everything but the ice. 3. Let it sit for a few hours, or even overnight. Strain out the fruit and save for a yummy adult treat later, or throw it out. (sad face) 4. Put some ice in your cup and enjoy! I wish I had pictures, but don't right now. Also, you will see other recipes online that add sugar, or liquor. I am not into super strong drinks or sugar, so if you like it a little sweeter you can add some sugar or agave.

Kashi Hummus Crisps from Bzzagent.com

Thanks to bzzagent.com I got a chance to try Kashi Hummus Crisps in Sea Salt and Olive Oil flavor, as did my family. They were a real hit! The kids were starving, but that doesn't stop them from being picky eaters. That's made even harder by the fact that I am on an "all natural" or organic kick. It's hard to find snacks that are natural and that they will eat. I recommend Kashi Hummus Crisps to anyone who needs a snack! The flavor is subtle but more exciting than it sounds. There's a Mediterranean kind of flavor. They are puffed and crispy, so low in calories, but not dry as rice crisps tend to be. I would buy these in a heart beat :-)

Palmolive Soft Touch Dish Liquid

I am now testing Palmolive Soft Touch Dish Liquid, and as a lifelong Dawn user, I have to say, It would be hard to get me to change, but Palmolive is pretty impressive. I remember trying some of their soap a few years ago and not being impressed but they have really improved their product. It cuts through grease, smells great, looks attractive, and doesn't ruin my manicure. I have just started using it, but so far I have to say, I might consider making the switch. By the way, I got to try it free thanks to influenster.com and they even sent an extra bottle for a friend. #Influenster

"Fysiko Eyelash Growth Serum" Week 3 I can't believe it!

I Bloggettes! I just wanted to check in with a mid-campaign update on my Fysiko Eyelash Growth Serum trial. I have to admit, when I started this, I didn't think that there was any such thing as a topical, natural serum that I could simply swipe onto my lashes and they would grow like magic. Now, having been using it twice a day for three weeks, I have to tell you, THERE IS AN, ALL NATURAL, SERUM THAT YOU CAN SWIPE ON YOUR LASH LINE THAT CAN MAKE YOUR LASHES GROW LIKE MAGIC! Here's a picture of my lashes before Here is a similar picture three weeks later. Remember, I got to try this free as a product influenster, and you can join in on the fun at no cost to you. I know everyone says that, but this is really just fun, free, and string free. Well It is time for my newest installment of the my Fysiko Lashes Experience Project! (Hows that for a title?!) I have to say I am blown away by this product. You know I will never endorse a product that I don't think is any good. I admit that I didn't expect this stuff to work and was very pleasantly surprised when, in about two weeks, my lashes had already grown enough that it was noticeable to me and to friends and family. My Nanny has always had the shortest eyelashes and she vowed to buy some Fysiko in order to check "Have eyelashes" off of her bucket list. (Yes she's serious!) There's not much more to say. Check out the progression with this newest picture. (I took it today)

Fysiko Eyelash Growth Serum

My friends at Influenster.com were gracious enough to send me a full sized trial of Fysiko Eyelash Growth Serum. I just tried it out for the first time last night. Fysiko is all natural, odor free, and did not irritate my eyes at all. I am really looking forward to seeing results. The insert that came with the product said that I may see results as soon as 2 weeks from yesterday. I will be posing pictures on here regularly so feel free to comment. Thanks Influenster!

Campbells Go (TM) Soup I'm sharing the wealth as promised!

Campbells Go (TM) Soup: Thx Campbell's Go(TM) 4 my free #GoSoup! Complete your random story 4 a $1 off coupon http://bit.ly/WhT5Sd *Please remember the FTC requires you to mention that you received a free sample courtesy of Smiley360 when sharing.

This soup sells for a higher price because it's a premium product. So grab the coupon and check it out for yourself. I have tried all of the flavors now and I am a big fan of the coconut chicken.

Why is it unique and worth the price? You never realized that canned soup tastes canned until you have had the fresh pack taste of Campbell's Go. The flavors are downright colorful! The canning process of other soups kind of kills the flavor but with the bags that Campbell's Go comes in, you get the full flavor experience.

I find myself looking forward to my guests using the bathroom at my house because they ALWAYS say something about my great hand soap! lol. I know, it sounds weird ;-) But seriously, it's the smell that wins people over immediately. I could tell you all about the germ fighting power and flu killing magic and how it makes your hands soft, but honestly what seems to make everyone say "WOW" is that rich delightful scent!

Old Navy Perfect Tee Free for Me!!

I got a chance to join the Old Navy Style Counsel thanks to Crowdtap. They sent me a coupon for two free perfect Tees and two for a friend!! I know. You totally want to be my friend now. lol. I gave my extra coupon to my next door neighbor Abigail. We had a great time shopping and got pretty excited about all of the great styles to choose from. I told her that I can't live without the Perfect T v-neck. I have it in gray and every time I put that Tshirt on my confidence comes out. She prefers her T skin tight with a crew neck. She rocked her neon orange (sounds crazy but looks amazing on her) T yesterday and I forgot to take a pic, but we will get our tshirts together soon and post pics :-) So, now you want free shirts too right? Go to Crowdtap and join in on the fun and product testing. Don't forget to stop by and let me know what you are sampling. I will support your blog too. Follow me and I will follow you back.

Lysol Touch of Foam Antibacterial Hand Wash: Creamy Vanilla Orchid

Hi friends and strangers! Its been a minute since my last post. I wanted to tell you about my latest Bzzagent product test. I recently received my trial of Lysol Touch of Foam Antibacterial Hand Wash in a lovely purple bottle and Creamy Vanilla Orchid scent. What do I think? I love it! 5 stars :-) What do I have to say about it? The smell is divine! I know we have smelled it all. I happen to love scents. You know how I feel about my Glade Oil Diffusers. 1 in every room ;-) But seriously, I was surprised by how nice my Creamy Vanilla Orchid Lysol Touch of Foam Hand wash smelled. It's like a high dollar European Soap from a boutique! I didn't realize until I tried it that it is also moisturizing. The foam itself is soft like a cloud and the suds wash clean away. I dont know if you have ever tried a hand soap that is just kind of gooey and hard to wash off but it's not fun at all. The packaging is pretty. I can't stand anything tacky on my counter tops, and best of all Lysol Touch of Foam kills 99.9% of germs. That may not seem like a big deal it seems like everyone I know has been sick over and over recently. We never get sick and Lysol products help us keep our "never get sick" record going strong! A Little More about Lysol :-) Check out my Link below for details on Lysol's Mission for Health and how Lysol is going above and beyond for New Moms, Disaster Relief Efforts, and the fight against germs in our schools. http://www.lysol.com/mission-for-health Wanna Know More?

My Latest Bzzagent Product trial is: GARNIER FRUCTIS TRIPLE NUTRITION MIRACLE DRY OIL #GotitFree

I hadn't ever tried anything like GARNIER FRUCTIS TRIPLE NUTRITION MIRACLE DRY OIL, unless CHI oil is comparable. They seem quite different to me. I wasn't sure what to expect when the package arrived, but was excited to try something totally new. My first impression (once I got over the crazy long name!) was that the packaging was attractive. I like the tear shaped bottle and thought the size was generous for the price that it retails for (remember I got mine free ;-). My second impression, as I opened it up, was that it has a strong, rich, deep smell. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it, but when I spritzed it on my skin, starting with my hair and face, It really grew on me. The scent is warm, comforting, and kind of luxurious and tropical. I wanted to test the miracle dry part because I'm sure you have gotten oil on your clothes and had to mourn the loss of what was once a favorite tee and is now an oil stained mess. I sprayed it on my hands and rubbed them together. I have to give it to Garnier! The product dries immediately, and now, having use the product for a couple of weeks, I can say that it doesn't not transfer onto clothes and stain! That's a very big deal to me. Now let me tell you the results of GARNIER FRUCTIS TRIPLE NUTRITION MIRACLE DRY OIL on my hair, face and skin. I first tried it on my dry hair. It really didn't turn out very well for me. I am a caucasian female, 29 years old, with medium body hair. I highlight, so my hair can be a bit dry at the ends. Usually I use CHI oil at just the ends, but I sprayed the GARNIER FRUCTIS TRIPLE NUTRITION MIRACLE DRY OIL right on the roots and the result was a greasy look that wouldn't go away until I washed it. The next time I sprayed it just on the ends of damp hair and got the same result. The oil seemed to be too heavy for my hair. However, remember I said that i was moving and that's why I've been off my blog for awhile? Well, I moved to Sunny Florida from the frigid midwest. That's a big move for my hair and skin! lol. After a few daily trips to the pool, my hair was looking crazy! You would think I had put in in the frying pan! So, for the past two mornings, right after my shower, I spritz some GARNIER FRUCTIS TRIPLE NUTRITION MIRACLE DRY OIL on the ends of my hair (sparingly because a little goes a looooong way) and work it in with my fingers and then comb my hair out. It has the effect of immediately detangling my hair and defrizzing for the whole day. Now one thing that makes the product special is that it isn't just for hair. The first thing that made me fall in love with this product is what it does for skin. When my family and I got to Florida, we decided that after a 24 hour drive down and crazy fast unpack-a-thin, we deserved a vacation, so we went to Disney World. We couldn't have picked a more beautiful day for it. The weather was cool and the sun wasn't blazing down on us. It was enough to trick me into forgetting my sunblock. The results? A very painful sunburn! By the time we got in the car and headed home, I knew it was late and there wasn't going to be an opportunity to buy any after sun care lotion. It looked like I was going to have to tough it out, but when I got home I remembered my GARNIER FRUCTIS TRIPLE NUTRITION MIRACLE DRY OIL. I sprayed it on my angry skin and wha-lah! My shoulders, arms, and back were soothed into submission and I got a good night sleep. When I got up in the morning, the pain was gone. I sprayed my skin again and by the end of the day you would never know I had a sunburn in the first place! That's when I truly became a believer. Since then, I have used GARNIER FRUCTIS TRIPLE NUTRITION MIRACLE DRY OIL every day after my shower to moisturize my whole body, face, and ends of my hair. This is a big deal to me because I have never been a lotion routine kinda gal. I just don't have the patience, but I want soft, nice smelling skin like everyone else. My new GARNIER FRUCTIS TRIPLE NUTRITION MIRACLE DRY OIL routine makes me feel feminine and attractive. It boosts my whole morning! So, all of that to say, give it a try. You will find something that you love about it, whether it's skin, time saving, face, or hair repair! Over and Out! DK #GotitFree

What am I testing this week?

So this week I'm testing Smiley360.com and Influenster.com. I have a campaign going with Smiley360 for Children's Mucinex, but although I was notified that I would be receiving either a sample or full size product a few weeks ago, it still has not been shipped. I do believe they are legit and will ship it, just takes awhile, however before I put them on my official recommend list, I will wait to get the product. One plus with them is that they give digital coupons to share and we know how much I love coupons ;-) I just joined Influenster.com. It was the second time I have joined, actually. Initially when I signed up, something happened and I was unable to ever get back into my account, so I just rejoined. To get in with these guys you have to go to the site and request an invite. What are they looking for? They want to see that you have some social influence. Do you have Facebook, youtube, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.? I haven't been offered a campaign yet but that's because I'm brand new. I will let you know how it goes. In the mean time, if you have personal experience with either of these sites that you would like to share, please feel free! In other news 1. I got my full size trial of Garnier Fructis Triple Moisture Miracle Dry Oil. Very exciting! I will have a review posted sometime in the next week or two. 2. I am still testing and LOVING Shick Hydro Silk razor 3. Still Testing Kroger Greek, Greek light, and CarbMaster yogurt 4. Still testing and LOVING Glade Expressions Oil Diffusers and Fragrance Sprays. BTW, THIS ONE IS BY FAR MY FAVE!!! 5. Awaiting more products but we will be moving cross-country this weekend, so I won't be posting for those days. I will miss you invisible, silent readers! Dont forget to friend me on Facebook! I am adding the button to the blog today! Sincerely, Dana K

Kroger Greek Greek Light and CarbMaster Yogurts FROZEN!

If you are dieting like me; you already know that the most daunting challenge you face, on a daily basis, is the food cravings! For me its two things: Cheese and Ice-cream. I haven't really conquered the cheese yet. I just try to stay full, but I keep cheating with the cheese, so I am grateful to have discovered a way to have my cake and eat it too when it comes to my old friend ice-cream. You can do this with Greek, Greek Light, or Kroger CarbMaster. I like the texture of frozen Greek yogurt, but I love the dessert flavors of Kroger CarbMaster. Here's how I turn my favorite Carrot Cake CarbMaster yogurt into instant easy ice-cream. Are you ready for this? Step 1: Take 1 or more Kroger CarbMaster yogurt in desired flavor and place, in container, without opening, into the freezer. Step 2: Close the freezer door. Step 3: Open and eat! Heck! have 2!! That's seriously all there is to it. Sometimes I like to slice up some fruit and scoop my fro-yo into a bowl for the kiddos. It's a family fave! Thanks again Bzzagent! #GotitFree

I'm a Swaggable.com Agent and it's paying off

What is all this you ask? Well these are just a few of the hundreds of products that swag gable.com is giving away free. What's the catch? There isn't one! What a revaluation! Some companies are actually realizing that the best way to get the word out about their brand and their newest products is to give them away and let us tell the world for them. We want to try it free, and they want to save millions of dollars on advertisement by having us spread the word. With Facebook, twitter, blogs, etc, we are the most powerful marketing tool they have. Why is it believable? Because we are actually doing them the favor, not the other way around. I am a big skeptic of anything that claims to be free, so I made it my mission to check these freebie sites out and share the real ones. I'm doing this out of a passion that I have for trying free stuff. I am not a rich person, or a company, or anything like that. I consider myself a novice blogger/product tester/finder of free stuff. It took me years to weed out the garbage and get to the real deal. I kept seeing things posted by friends about getting free stuff only to follow the bogus link to a site that forced me through a million pages of survey questions, or "join our products", or whatever. I remember going through pages of partner offers for over an hour and then giving up. Why should I go through all that? So, I looked up some of the top, legit, product testing sites, spent a year finding the very very few legit ones, and promised not to share them with you until I have received the products or incentives offered. Here's what I've found and how I've found it. 1. I wrote to the top product offering sites and let them know that I am writing this blog and will gladly shout their praises from the digital mountain top! 2. It took a couple of weeks, but I started to get responses from the admins of some of the sites. 3. Bzzagent got in touch and let me know how they work and what I needed to do. I did it, and the products started arriving. I took short surveys (less than 5 minutes each) a couple of times a week to let them know what kind of products I'm interested in. They sent me a full size product and let me spread the word, in less than a week I got another product! A month later, I receive a product about once a week or more. 4. I joined Swaggable.com and did what they told me to do. I have been a member now for a couple of months and have built a following on their site by following other members Twitter style. I told them what products I wanted to try and waited patiently. No surveys, no nonsense, just a little bit of a wait and then came the free product trials! 5. Smiley 360 never responded to me but did offer me a free product, within a few days of joining. I am waiting for it to arrive now. Unlike Bzzagent.com and Swaggable.com they don't have a way for you to track your package, so when it arrives I will let you know but until then I am not greenlighting this one for you yet. I have a few more things in the works as we speak, but my progress will slow down a bit because we are moving across the country in the next week or so (waiting on good ole tax refunds) Again, if you have anything to add, or a site you want me to check out, let me know! Smooches! Dana W danakaywyrick@gmail.com

25 books you MUST read if you loved the Hunger Games

I'm working on this list as we speak, so let me know if you have anymore to add. I loved that the first one I saw was my favorite book from childhood "The Giver". I don't care how old you are, you owe it to yourself to read this brilliant cautionary tale, set in a possible future. In our pursuit of health, safety and perfection, will we lose our humanity? It's a question that many a brilliant mind are asking. How do I know this? You see it popping up in books over time, gaining in popularity because its in the back of our minds. What does the future hold? Will fear eventually turn us into monsters and heroes?

I recently joined this community. They are similar to Bzzagent.com (which btw if you haven't joined yet you are crazy!) They have sent me a smiley kit with a free trial of Mucinex for Children.

Sign up here and don't forget to stop by and tell me what your impressions are . http://smiley360.com/?refid=223775 I will post some pics when I get the smiley kit. This is pretty exciting!

Schick Hydro Silk Razor: Whats so great about it?

So I have been raving about my new Schick Hydro Silk razor, that I received free from bzzagent.com (If you haven't checked them out yet, you might be crazy ;-), "but seriously, what is all the hype about?" You ask me. Well its similar to razors like Venus in design, but I like the handle better. It's just easier to grip. However, grip isn't everything is it? What really sets the Schick Hydro Silk razor apart from cousins like Venus, is the unique moisture serum surrounding the blades. Like I said before, we have all tried the razors that have the lovely lotion around the blade. The first couple of shaves are great, but then, inevitably, the nice lotion bar dries out, cracks, and falls off, long before you are ready to change the super expensive blade. The Schick Hydro Silk razor has a much better design. Instead of a lotion bar surrounding the blades, there is smooth plastic with little bitty holes in it that react to water and release the magic moisture serum. I don't know what's in it, but I do know that it works! I shaved my legs this morning. It is now evening, and my legs still feel smooth and hydrating. Another big thanks to Bzzagent for letting me try this product! #GotitFree

One of my new freebie friends: Freebie Shark

http://www.freebieshark.com I just recently friended these guys on Facebook. They have a lot to offer and a full staff where this page has only me :-) I recommend friending them on Facebook or Twitter. Several times a day they add deals, coupons, and great freebies! They don't personally give out the freebies. They watch the web and tell you which manufacturers are giving their products away free or sampling.

Kroger CARBmaster milk and yogurt and Kroger Greek and Greek Light yogurt

I had the pleasure of product testing Kroger CARBmaster milk and yogurt and Kroger Greek and Greek Light yogurt from www.bzzagent.com What a fantastic experience! I have since then, been back to the store for more. I think my family is addicted. I knew that Kroger made high quality products, so I was expecting greatness already, but I didn't know how good these products were for my family and I. I wouldn't say I'm lactose intolerant, but the older I get, the more sensitive my digestive systems seems to get. I haven't really done the milk thing in a couple of years. If I do consume milk it's usually coconut or almond milk. I was impressed not just by the taste of Kroger CARBmster vanilla milk, but by the nutritional value. With benefits like low amounts of sugar and more protein than Almond milk, and being lactose free, Kroger CARBmaster milk is a great option for me. The kids and I enjoyed the Kroger Greek yogurt. I had never had Greek yogurt before. I was really pleasantly surprised by the flavor and texture. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, but I actually wound up loving the Honey flavored Greek yogurt. The kids favor the Blueberry flavor with awesome chunks of real blueberries. So, check it out if you get a chance and feel free to leave me a comment about what you think :-)

Glade Expressions Pineapple & Mangosteen Oil Diffuser and Starlit Evening Fragrance Spray

BzzAgent.com in all of their awesomeness sent me coupons for a free trial of Glade Expressions Collection Oil Diffuser and a Fragrance spray. I chose Pineapple & Mangosteen for the oil diffuser and Starlit Evening for the fragrance spray. I have to admit, I am partial to the oil diffuser. I put it in the largest room in my house and it filled the room with a warm, tropical fragrance within minutes. The scent is so soothing and warm that it really transforms the space. I thought, "Hmm. I wonder if this thing could warm up my kids' stinky bathroom." So, I put the oil diffuser to the test. Folk, at this very moment, it is in that bathroom conquering the stinkyness of having 2 children in potty training in one small room. The fragrance spray is more subtle. The smell itself doesn't last as long as I would like it to, but I have to give Glad a lot of credit because it does exactly what it is supposed to do. It annihilates the odor in the room. We have 2 rats, and they are great family members, but they are stinky guys. The fragrance spray smells nice, and neutralizes their ratty musk. All in all, I highly recommend the Glade Expressions line, but if I had to pick.......hands down the oil diffuser. You need one. Trust me. ;-) #GotitFree

I got my free Schick Hydro Silk product test this weekend. I didn't have time to jump in the shower this morning, so my new razor had the challenge of taking on legs and underarms with a sink and a time limit. Let me tell you, there is not a razor bump in sight, my skin is smooth and silky, and I am happy. I have been a long time user of Venus razors, and I really didn't know what I was missing. All I knew was that I loved them for the first couple of shaves, and then things would really start to go down hill. The lotion bars were gooey and slimy, and didn't really leave my skin feeling smooth or soft. Worst of all they cost a fortune because the blades constantly have to be replaced. Schick Hydro Silk razors are designed differently. Instead of the blades being surrounded in goo or lotion bars that dry out, crack and fall off, prompting me to change the blade out, Schick Hydro Silk has smooth plastic surrounding the blade, with tiny holes that react to water to create a smooth glide, and a comfortable shave. I was immediately impressed by how soft my underarms and legs felt right after using this razor. I strongly recommend that you try it out !!
