McCormick Grill Mates® Grill Ambassadors Party

I was picked to have a McCormick Grill Mates® Grill Ambassadors Party on Crowdtap.  Ilove getting these party invites. Not only do I get to have fun throwing the parties but I get to show off new product that I get to keep.

The McCormick Grill Mates taste great. They add an extra flavor to your meat that all these years were missing. I personnally like the Montreal Steak seasoning the best. It is great on your steaks and your burgers.

Dancing your way to fun!!

I recieved a free Wii game and a CD of ABBA. OMG!! It is so much fun! What a great way to exercise while having a blast doing it! Not only do I love it but so do my kids!! If you don't know who ABBA is then check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABBA. You might remember their popular song Dancing Queen (my favorite song of theirs). If you are looking for a fun way to shead some pounds and love 70's music then this is the game for you!!

Partying Blue!!

I was very fortunate to be selected to host a Smurf party. I was emailed coloring sheets for the kids to print and some computer games. Unfortunately only a 2 kids showed up but that was ok because they all had fun. Their favorite thing was the blue pancakes I made and the blue kool-aid. Unfortunately they ate them up before I was able to take a picture of them. None of the 3 kids liked the games on the computer but loved the coloring and putting on paper glasses to look like Brainy!

I am happy I was able to be apart of the hosting but wish I was able to hae more kids here to share it with but then again being able to do anything around Christmas time is hard to do.

CrowdTap offers some great experiences!!

I have been a member of CrowdTap for about a year now. When I joined it was almost brand new and was in beta testing (still is I believe), I wasn't sure what that meant but thought of earning more money to go into my amazon account excited me and I was willing to give it a try. I was kind of lost with the site at first and had a hard time remembering to go there and voice my opinions on things for the longest time, but recently, within the past few months, I have really gotten into the site and have earned $115.20 in amazon gift cards and have tested out some awesome products.

CrowdTap is a site where you are able to perform "quick hits" and "actions". "Quick hits" are short little questions you answer to earn points and sometimes you can win money from just answering the question. The "actions" are discussions that you can join and voice your opinion on. From time to time you are able participate in web shares like I have. You can earn points from having your post starred (400) and from having 10 likes (50). You have the opportunity to win on the discussions also, when you do you can win $10 to $20. To be able to win you have to participate in the discussion and "give high quality feedback".

The web shares I have participated in ones for Playtex Sports Wipes, Old Navy dresses, Old Navy accessories party, and just recently I just participated in a Old Navy shorts in store party where I was able to get a pair of shorts, a shirt, and one accessory for free for myself and 3 other people. You have to apply for these web shares and once you are approved you join it. The company will send you everything you need to do the web share. Once you get your package, you have to read through the directions and perform the share within the allowed time frame. Once you do that all you have to do is fill out the report which only takes a few minutes to do. The better report you give, the more money you can make from it, usually $2-$5. It doesn't seem like a lot but if you think about the free items you get along with it, it is a lot.

The best part is 5% of your earnings goes to a charity from a list that you can choose from (I choose Susan G Komen's Race for the Cure) and CrowdTap matches that 5% also. So not only do you get to earn money for yourself but for your charity too, a win win situation there!!
Now that I have got the hang of CrowdTap, it is a very fun site where my opinions matter and I would be lost without it.

Shopping for FREE once again!!!

I was fortunate enough to get invited in another sample share for Old Navy again from CrowdTap. I am really beginning to love this site.

I took 3 of my nieces with me this time and they had a blast, until it time to take pictures of your clothes we tried on. Old Navy has so much to offer from size 0 to size 18. I have noticed that some of their clothes do run a little small but others run a little big. So you just HAVE to try them on.

I have NEVER had a bad experience at Old Navy. The management was very friendly and helpful. I really love the fact that they have someone dedicated to the dressing rooms. Renee was working, she was absolutely amazing!! She was very fun and if we needed anything she was right there.

We bought, well I can't really say bought, but got a shirt, a pair of shorts, and an accessory a piece. All together we got $260 worth of clothes for FREE!! In the picture we are missing one of my niece's outfits because she had to go to work.

Having a blast with Old Navy!!

I was given another opportunity with an Old Navy sample share. This time I held a party at my house to show off some of Old Navy's accessories they had to offer. To start the party off my daughter decided to come out with everything on to just be silly. She made everyone laugh! What a way to start it off with some great humor. We showed off a pair of sunglasses which no body liked even my daughter. We all felt they were very cheaply made, you could tell just by looking at them. We got to see 2 scarfs, we liked the length of them and the feel of it but the print really wasn't what any of us would wear. There also was a floral print little purse, which my daughter fell in love with. The fedora hat my son stole and he wears it all the time. We had a blast and had lots of laughs. Thank you Old Navy for bringing us together again.

Playtex Sport Body Wipes

I was accepted into another sample share on Crowdtap! This time (just like the other times) I am so excited but just in another way. I was able to try the new PLAYTEX SPORTS BODY WIPES!! They are phenomenal! The first person I tried them out on was my 16 year old daughter after soccer practice. I wouldn't let her shower as soon as she got into the house, I had her try these wipes out! To my surprise she loved them, and didn't feel the need to shower afterwards. She has real sensitive skin and we were afraid she would break out into a rash afterwards but to our astonishment, she did NOT!! She gave a few samples out to a few of her soccer friends and they loved them too.

So I was excited she really liked them but I knew I had to put them to the major test! I have a 13 year old boy that is hitting puberty and after a half a day of just laying around, he has bad body odor, after he does some kind of activity that produces sweat he is unbearable!! I have not been able the find any deodorant to help him so he takes 2 showers a day to help ward off the smell. I knew I had to try it on him! Wouldn't you know they REALLY work. After I had him clean 1 armpit I smelt both and the side he cleaned smelled like cool cucumber and NO body odor!! I couldn't believe it!! I give this product a rate of 9 1/2. It would of been a full 10 if it didn't have such a feminine smell (I know it was made for a woman but it is strong enough for a boy who is just entering puberty!)
