Aquafina Plus Vitamins 10CAL

Today I received my first official product to review from Divine.ca.  I am so excited to be one of 75 people reviewing this product.  The company sent 6 - 591mL bottles to test over the next 2 weeks.  The flavours they sent are Black & Blue Berry, Strawberry Lemonade, and Fuji Apple Pear.  In 2 weeks time the company will send me an email with a link so I can give me review on the product.  I have already started drinking the Black & Blue Berry one, and it's very tasty.  I think I am going to enjoy reviewing this product.

California Dreaming on such a winter's day...

Today was a pretty good mail day for me.  I finally received my parcel from my friend in California, been waiting nearly 2 weeks for it.  I was very excited about receiving it, because it had some chocolate I wanted to try.  Japanese Kit Kat's that are Cheese flavoured.  I honestly thought they would be quite disgusting, but I was pleasantly surprised that they actually taste pretty good.  You really cannot taste the cheese, but you can sure smell the cheese, when you first open the package.  




My friend also sent me a lovely Three Stooges magnet.  It's something you cannot get in Canada, and I just love the Three Stooges.  I honestly think it's one of my favourite magnets in my collection. 









I also received a lovely fan pack from the L.A. Lakers.  It was truly a surprise, because I did not figure they were going to send anything, as I had wrote an email, but they never wrote back, so I figured they would not be sending anything, so it was a lovely surprise to see that in my mail box today.

 

Petrol Jeans Contest on Facebook - Update!!

The Petrol Jean contest on Facebook was not a scam :)  I am quite happy about that.  I was quite worried for awhile, but I have won a pair of jeans, and I am quite happy about that.  I received the notification that I will be receiving them in 10 to 14 days, really happy about that. 

A lot of people are bitter about not winning the jeans, and writing some very rude comments on the Petrol Jeans fanpage.  I honestly think this is immature, and just being a sore loser.  This one guy is stalker their page, and writing such mean and rude comments to all the winners, it's just pathetic.

Shall write more, once I receive my jeans :)  Thank you Petrol for hosting such a wonderful contest :)

Black History Month Postcard!

My friend on Facebook wanted to collect postcards of Black History, since February is Black History month, and since my city has a Black History monument, I decided to do a trade with him.  He sent me a love postcard in return of a monument in Battle Creek, Michigan. 

  

Battle Creek, Michigan is home for the world's largest sculpture honoring the thousands of southern slaves and fugitives who fled north during the 1840's and 1850's. Traveling by night hiding in barns and basement hide-a-ways by day, the movement was know as the Underground Railroad. Sojourner Truth was born as a slave in 1797. Speaking out for justice and human rights and especially for the abolition of slavery, she became the most famous African -American woman in the 19th century.

 

 

Snowy Day!

Today was a snow day in my city, nearly everything was closed, or canceled.  Even my dog didn't want to go outside today in the snow, I had to shove his bum out the door this morning.  It took forever for the snowplows to get around to clear the roads and sidewalks out.  The Postal service was even canceled today.  Which was frustrating to me, because I have a mail addiction, lol, and was truly hoping to get some mail today.  I am currently waiting for quite a few packages to arrive.  Hopefully, they will soon arrive.

 This was the view from my front window this morning.  The snow was blowing quite a lot first thing this morning. 

I honestly didn't think today was going to be a very exciting day.  I have spent most of the day on the couch, either reading my book or watching TV, and then I got the most awesome email.  I had signed up to review a product, and the company said they were only going to pick 75 people to try it out, and I received the email saying I was one of the 75 people they have chosen to review Aquafina Plus Water.  I'm totally excited, this will be my first official review for a company :) This has made up for not getting any mail today.  So, watch for my up coming review on Aquafina Plus water.

Melitta Coffee

A few weeks ago Melitta Coffee was generous and offered 10 lucky winners a day, a free coupon to get their coffee.  I have never tried Melitta and I figured to give it a try, when the company was offering their product free.  I was one of the lucky winners that got a bag of Coffee. I received my coupon on Monday, and yesterday I went and got myself a bag of the Costa Rican Tarrazu Roast and Ground Coffee. 

I made myself a pot of it this morning, and was pleasantly surprised by the flavour, and smoothness of it.  It also wasn't as bitter as the coffee I normally drink, so I was quite happy about that.  It was like a dance in mouth, and was a great addition to my morning breakfast.  Also I was starting to get a lot of gas from my normal brand of coffee, and the Melitta coffee didn't cause me any problems at all.

Another great thing about Melitta is it's organic coffee and free trade.  I would recommend this brand to my friends and family.  It normal retails for $13.99 but well worth the price.  I am a very happy I tried Melitta.
