GREEN MOUNTAIN COFFEE® FAIR TRADE - Taste the Quality of Fair Trade!

I was recently sent complimentary coupons and samples of GREEN MOUNTAIN COFFEE® FAIR TRADE, as a BzzAgent. The flavors I received were: Vermont Country Blend, Colombian Fair Trade Select, Sumatran Reserve, and my favorite Wild Mountain Blueberry.

All of the coffees taste very good, I usually don't care for the darker brews, but these had a smooth taste, so I enjoyed them all. The best part however is that they are fair trade!! I love to buy fair trade whenever possible. Here is the link for info about the GREEN MOUNTAIN COFFEE® FAIR TRADE program, including videos with musicians Grace Potter and Michael Franti, on trips they took to Columbia and Sumatra to experience the benefits of fair trade.

I have not only learned a lot more about the benefits of buying fair trade, but also found a great tasting, affordable product too. This will now be my staple coffee. If you are like me, and love to buy fair trade, and having a good cup of coffee, give GREEN MOUNTAIN COFFEE® FAIR TRADE a try!

Benjamin Moore Aura® Interior Paint

I received the Benjamin Moore Aura® Interior Paint, complimentary as a BzzAgent. The sample was in the color simply white with eggshell finish. I was first impressed that the smell was not overwhelming. There was no need for a primer with this paint. I decided to repaint my bedroom wall, which suffered from water stains from using a window air conditioner all winter. The paint was very easy to use, no clumps, no streaking, it went in pretty even. I used 3 coats and can't see the water stains in most spots anymore, I am sure if I had used a little darker color, I would not be able to see any stains under the paint. The drying time was great in about an hour, I was able to rub the wall with no problems, it dried streak free and smooth.

I will be trying more colors to freshen up a couple of rooms for the holidays. I received a color swatch packet and there is a large variety of beautiful colors to choose from, I am eyeing the Kalamata and the Dinner Party, with others to follow after the holidays. I even received a coupon for a free gallon of paint.

I usually don't like painting due to the mess, but this paint has changed my mind, there was not much mess and easy to clean any splatters. Hurry over to their site and see what colors you want to try.

Thanks to Benjamin Moore for the quality product.

SMARTFOOD® SELECTS

I was sent some samples of the SMARTFOOD® Selects products complimentary from BzzAgent. I received the varieties, the Sour Cream Onion Flavored Puffed Corn, which was my favorite it was light, but the seasoning was so yummy, I have bought that again as my movie snack, like popcorn but no popcorn hulls. I also received the Cinnamon Brown Sugar Multigrain Popped Chips, I liked these alot also, and ate them with my afternoon cup of tea, I know it sounds weird, but it was delicious, like eating cinnamon toast. The final product I received was the Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Popped Chips, which was just ok for me, the flavor was not as good, as the other varieties.

All in all I really like this snack, and it is great for sharing with my toddler friends at church, since there is no choking hazard. This snack is usually in my purse to share or snack when I can't get to a meal, and they are very satisfying.There are no artificial flavors and no trans fat, this is definitely the snack for me. An extra perk is the resealable bag, so no crumbs in my purse.

I am looking forward to trying the other varieties soon, the Blueberry Almond Vanilla flavored Granola Coated Popcorn is calling my name! If you are looking for a healthier snack that has flavor and variety, I highly recommend you give Smartfood® Selects a try.
