I stumbled on the facebook site Karing for Keegan Fundraiser. I had read a post about and seen the buttons for little Keegan. Karing for Keegan had an auction for little Keegan. I looked around and saw a blog package sponsored by The Blog Cafe.  It sounded like a really great package.  The fact that the money went to such a worthy cause really appealed to me.  I’ve been wanting my blog designed for a while but for one reason or another I hadn’t done it yet.  I put in a bid, hoping I’d win.  It was the last day and the last hour of the auction when I put my bid in  I thought for sure that someone would swoop in and put in a bid in the last few seconds.
No one did and I won!  Woohoo.

I can’t wait.  I’ve been emailing with Jennifer of The Blog Cafe trying to figure out exactly what I want, what I like, etc.  She said we will officially start the process on Monday!  I’m so excited.  So this boring ole’ look is going to get a sprucing up.

I want it to look more inviting but still be easy to read and find the important things for you all.  I’m not sure at this point if there will be a period of time that my blog is down or not.  I’m really not sure how that works yet. So I’ll let you know as soon as I do.

MySavings.com has been around for a while.  It’s probably one of the first sites I discovered for free samples and contests that were legitimate.  MySavings.com has a great forum.  Members can comment, share finds, find real Free Samples, there’s even sections for recipes and more.

There’s also a section for Printable Coupons.

As someone who has been a member of the community for a number of years, I recommend it to anyone looking for a good site for free samples, coupons, and contests.

If you looking for an affiliate program for your site, MySavings has their own affiliate program called Mysavings Media.  I thing they have some quality offers available on the site.

Recently I took my kids to a local festival in Somerset, PA called The Scarecrow festival.  There were a few independent consultants for companies as well as craft vendors at this event.  I was lucky enough to run into Ellie Hancock, a consultant for Boresha which offers Bskinny coffee and tea just to highlight a couple of their products.

I had heard about Bskinny tea and coffee being an avid blogger.  Ellie certainly knows her product.  Her and her husband both use the products.  Ellie told me she lost an amazing 14 lbs from drinking the NuvoGene Tea!  She said she didn’t do anything else but drink the tea.  Her husband drinks the coffee.  He also lost weight drinking the coffee.  An interesting tidbit, he said he used to get heart burn when he drank regular coffee.  Since he’s been drinking Bskinny coffee, he hasn’t had heartburn.

Ellie had samples of the NuvoGene tea and coffee available.  She made me up a little taster cup of the Bskinny coffee.  I’m definitely a coffee drinker.  I love coffee and creamer in mine and wondered how that would effect the weightloss aspect.  Boresha has the covered.  They also offer a Bsweet and a Bcreamy!

They have a 10 day challenge available on the site if you wanted to give it a go for yourself.  Ellie gave me a small sample pack to try that will last me a few days.  I’m going to start drinking it tomorrow.  I can already speak on the flavor.  The sample cup she gave me at the Scarecrow festival was smooth and yummy.  The creamer and sweetner tasted delicious.  It didn’t have that bad artificial sweetner taste.  To me, it tasted just like a regular cup of joe.

In the mean time you can read about the science behind Boresha products here on Ellie’s consultant site.

***I received a sample pack of Boresha BSkinny Coffee from consultant Ellie Hancock for the purpose of reviewing and writing about this product.  I did not receive any monetary compensation. ***
