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 :-)
