BzzAgent Glade Expressions





As of right now, I have 25 days left in my Glade Expressions BzzAgent campaign. This campaign has been fun and great-smelling! In my BzzKit, I received the introduction letter explaining the campaign, coupons to pass onto others, and two coupons for myself: one for a free Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser starter kit and one for a free Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist starter kit.

My choice for the free Oil Diffuser was the Pineapple & Mangosteen. My choice for the free Fragrance Mist was the Cotton & Italian Mandarin. Both of these scents are nice, subtle, and I really like them. The Pineapple & Mangtosteen smells like fresh fruit--delicious! The Cotton & Italian Mandarin smells fresh and like clean laundry. 

The Oil Diffuser is my favorite of the two for a couple of reasons. I like the easy, simple steps to get the diffuser set up. The design and look of the holder is modern and chic and can fit into a lot of decor. I don't have to remember to light a candle or spray a mist--I just set it up and go. However, the scent did not last long and was not strong enough to be smelled from further than a few feet away. This is my main complaint with the Oil Diffuser and a reason I would not by likely to purchase this product in the future. 

I personally do not like fragrance mists/sprays because when I spray them, they end up on furniture and the floor and me, no matter how high I position my spraying angle. So, needless to say, I am not a fan of the Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist. However, I really do like the scent that my free starter kit came with (the Cotton & Italian Mandarin). 

As far as the main attraction, the scent, of these Glade Expressions products, I am please and really like the options available (except for the Lavender & Juniper Berry). They smell great and vibrant!

Nail Polish

When it comes to make-up products, there seems to be an abundance--maybe even too many. There's only so many colors can be made into a nail polish in different shades. I think with the excessive amounts of different colors, shades, brands, and types of nail polish out there (among other make-up products) it is a waste of our resources.

In the women's magazines like Glamour and Cosmopolitan, there is not doubt that there are several ads throughout the monthly issues. One advertisement, for OPI Nail Polish, seems to have a new collection each month.

Look at all these colors, many of them only slightly different than another, from Essie.

And that is just one brand of nail polish!

I think that there are better uses for our resources than just recreating a previous color of nail polish in just a little different shade.

Cher Lloyd



At first listen, I didn't really like Cher Lloyd's song "Want U Back". But as I listened to it a couple more times, I liked it more and more. The song is original, catchy, and not loaded with profanity (as is the case with many songs on the radio now). 

In her music video for "Want U Back"--the version featuring Astro--I really like the idea of the video, in general, and the looks that Cher wears throughout the video (modest). To be honest, this video is one of my favorite music videos I have ever seen. 

I can't help but be intrigued by Cher Lloyd. Her personality is bubbly and different and cute. She seems like a fun person to be around and to know. I also like her awesome microphone (see below).

This month MTV is featuring her on Posted. Click here for more info and to check out some videos and photos.
