Committing to a Company

- brandy3

As a blogger there are lots of company reaching out for partnerships. They want reviews/giveaways etc. I have seen a lot of bloggers commit to a company. for ex.  Laundry detergent, some bloggers chose only to write about Tide others are a Purex insider and only write about Purex.

I have only commited to one company and that is Purex, I am a purex insider. Even though they hardly ever give me anything to write about.

I love writing about a variety of things, even if that means I write about 2 pizza companys, or competitive stores. If a company wants me to only write about their company, then they need to make a relationship with me, and have me participate in all campaigns.

I’m just blabbing sorry

What I Think Defines A Successful Relationship

- brandy3

I’ve been married for 5 1/2 years, but been with my hubby for over 7 years. We have our share of problems.

1.I think trust is #1, if you don’t have trust you have nothing.

Essence couple Cleveland and Maya live 6 hours away from each other but have been together for 11 yrs. Now thats trust

2.Communication is a big one.

Essence couple Irvin and Dewain say they can talk about everything.

3.I like knowing that someone cares more than just about themselves. A Giver

Essence couple Andre says fiancée Genine is more caring about others and that was attracted him.

Dyson DC31 HandHeld Vacuum Review

- brandy3 2 Comments

cid:3331628984_6243910

Dyson DC31 is a handheld vacuüm ideal for quick pick-ups and spot cleaning. Includes dual power mode that gives longer run-time for large jobs or extra suction for stubborn dirt. Powered by the new Dyson digital motor – three times faster, the most power efficient.

****I have to admit when I first saw the picture I thought it was going to be a lot bigger. It’s very small and efficient.  Great for cleaning up small messes, or the car. when i first received this my kids were so scared, they thought it was a gun. They ran around the house screaming. The Dysn DC31 is a great little vacuum, and has a lot of suction power. I’ve been using it on everything! 

I made a video using it, but it never fails to have my kids screaming in te background.

Here are my kids first impression of it.

Keurig Platinum Brewer review

- brandy3

Description:Keurig’s patented single-cup brewing system lets people brew a perfect cup of gourmet coffee in less than a minute without the hassle of grinding beans, measuring coffee, handling filters or cleaning up. Keurig takes away all the guesswork from brewing a consistently great cup of coffee.

Features:

– Auto On/Off, Digital Clock, Adjustable Temperature Control and the “Set Your Favorite Cup Size” option.
– Five cup size settings including an iced coffee and travel mug setting

****This is so easy to use and not messy. It takes a while for it to warm up, but brews easily and fast. You can brew coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and so much more. Just fill up the water resivore, warm it up, place in a kcup and boom you have a single cup of coffee. My hubby drinks coffee every morning but makes way to much. and it gets poured down the drain, so this is a great option to save money and waste less.

 I received these today and I was so surprised at how many flavors and brands of K cups there are. You can never go bored with the variety. They are all so delicious.

Retail:$169.95 on Keurig

My Rating:10

Disclosure:I did not receive compensation for this review. I did receive a product from MS&L in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

I Don’t Want To Miss Contest

- brandy3
I hated missing school when I was sick. Now that i am a mother I try to ensure that my daughter stays healthy, so she can attend school. Although most of the time she gets sick from kids at school.  I have been really predacious this year with H1N1, I always carry hand sanitizer for my kids. 

American Idol finalist Danny Gokey has teamed up with the Clorox Company, to launch the I Don’t Want To Miss campaign, designed to get teens and their teachers involved in flu prevention. 

Now in its second year, the program features a contest that invites school musical groups, like glee clubs, show choirs, etc.  to develop a video performance of a song written by Berklee College of Music student Will Wells on what they don’t want to miss out on if they were home sick and why prevention is important. The winning school will win a music class led by former American Idol finalist Danny Gokey!
        The Clorox company will donate $100 to the Sophia Heart Foundation, up to 10,000 dollars. The Sophia Heart Foundation was started by Gokey in honor of his late wife Sophia, and dedicated to helping children succeed in music. 

Visit Clorox facebook page for more information. 

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central  on behalf of Clorox and received $20 thank-you gift certificate.
