Glade Has Oil Diffusers As Pretty To Look at as to Smell

You all know I love art. Both making it and viewing it. So I think it's cool that the Glade Expressions^® Collection is inspired by art and designed to be left out on display.

I recently got an opportunity to try them free as a BzzAgent. Following is how BzzAgent describes these new additions to the scent scene, mixed in with some of my thoughts plus a review below I posted on the BzzAgent site.

"These authentic, easy-to-use home fragrance products release scents that open up note by note, filling your home with lightly layered fragrances and inviting life in. The breakthrough line includes two unique, refillable products:

Glade Expressions^® Fragrance Mist comes in a chic holder that blends with your décor for a burst of fragrance that's always out and available. Simply squeeze to release a long-lasting, light mist of fragrance; then refill the holder with your favorite true-to-life scent.

The Glade Expressions^® Oil Diffuser releases authentic and exotic fragrances without having to plug it in or find batteries. The trendy holder matches décor perfectly - and is also refillable - making it an effective, stylish option for layering true-to-life fragrances in all of your living spaces.Ever wanting to be frugal, I'm glad the Glade Expressions^® Oil Diffuser releases authentic and exotic fragrances without having to plug it in or find batteries.

The trendy holders match décor perfectly - and are also refillable - making them an effective, stylish option for layering true-to-life fragrances in all of your living spaces.

Here are the four fragrances:

Cotton & Italian Mandarin - Open your home with the bright, breezy blend of cotton and sparkling citrus, honeydew and sandalwood*

Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice - A ripe, spicy blend of sweet pears and crisp apple with a dash of cinnamon and clove that warms and invigorates

Lavender & Juniper Berry - Lush lavender blends with fresh juniper berry, eucalyptus and rose to relax the senses and open your home

Pineapple & Mangosteen - Evoke a tropical paradise with the blend of freshly cut pineapples and hint of tangy mangosteen, creamy coconut and passionflower

*Available in Glade Expressions^® Fragrance Mist only.

Here are cool points about both products:

My daughter at age 20 is the scent expert in the family, since many scents bother my allergies. She really loved the smells of the Glade Expressions Fragrance Oil Diffuser in particular, especially the Pineapple one! We both thought the design of the oil diffuser was beautiful, so much better than the cheap white plastic ones Glade used to make in the old days I remember, lol. (The kinds you pulled up the large top part, remember?.)The floral"esque" design of this one goes great with her Bohemian decorating as well. Meanwhile the fragrance mist looks nice enough and goes well in her bathroom. I wouldn't recommend either of them for those allergic to fragrances, but anybody who feels scent adds spice to life should enjoy these Glade products both smell-wise and visually :)

Constipated? MiraLAX Helps...Plus Review and Anatomy Diagrams

The gastrointestinal tract, also called the digestive tract, alimentary canal, or gut, is the system of organs within multicellular animals that takes in food, digests it to extract energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste.

When your digestive tract isn't working properly, it can throw off your whole day. I oughta know! But "Don't wait to feel great™ - try MiraLAX® when you feel your first signs of constipation."
As BzzAgent puts it, "nothing works better than MiraLAX laxative to relieve constipation and soften stool with no harsh side effects, so you can get on with your day and back to being you."

This is an image from the classic 1918 edition of Gray's Anatomy. Henry Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body (or 'Gray's Anatomy' as it has more commonly become known) is an anatomy textbook widely regarded as a classic work on human anatomy. The book was first published under the title Gray's Anatomy: Descriptive and Surgical in Great Britain in 1858, and the following year in the United States.
(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

(My mom and I discovered the benefits of Miralax firsthand, as you will see in the review below excerpted from the review I put on BzzAgent.)

How? MiraLAX works differently than other laxatives*. It empowers the water you drink to do more, drawing water into your colon to unblock your system gently and naturally. Because when your laxative works with your body to provide relief, you can get back to being you.
Below is the review I put on Bzzagent:

Although Miralax has helped me personally, I think the strongest thing to say about it is that it helped my mother post-surgery when nothing else gave her relief from horrible constipation. She had tried so many methods to feel better, to no avail. But then I received my free Miralax as a Bzzagent and sent her some. It helped! Yay!

We both loved that it unblocks our system gently and naturally. Bzzagent explains that Miralax empowers the water you drink to do more, drawing water into your colon to unblock it gently.

Laxatives I have tried in the past (pre-surgery for example) have tasted yucky and definitely weren't gentle! So I've been afraid to take something when feeling constipated. Which of course caused me pain and worse hemorrhoids, since then.

But now that I know I can take something that will help AND be gentle, I will use it. As will my mom. I recommend it!

As BzzAgent puts it,"When you have a headache, you take something right away. When you have heartburn, you don't hesitate to seek relief. So why is it that when you feel constipated, you wait?"

Working naturally is just one of many reasons to consider MiraLAX at your first signs of constipation. Why else should you keep it close?

Relieves constipation and softens stool

Doesn't cause bloating, cramping, or gas(extremely important for folks like me!)

Doesn't cause sudden urgency, so you're in control (This is my favorite part)

The #1 recommended laxative by doctors, pharmacists and gastroenterologists

Dissolves easily in water and other liquids, with no taste or grit (so cool that it's tasteless!)

Available without a prescription in the laxative aisle of drugstore chains, supermarkets, mass merchandisers and club stores nationwide

MiraLAX comes in four sizes to suit your needs: 7, 14 and 30 dose bottles, and pre-measured, single-dose 10-packs (SRP $8.49 - $23.99).

Use as directed for occasional constipation.

How MiraLAX^® works
Water is vital to your body for healthy living, and to help your digestive system stay regular. But when stool moves slowly through the colon, too much water may be removed, making stool hard, dry, and difficult to pass. (see the stool illustration above.)

Unlike some other laxatives*, MiraLAX contains Polyethylene Glycol 3350, which gently replenishes water to your digestive system, to help cause a bowel movement naturally. This water both increases the frequency of bowel movements and softens the stool, making it easier to pass.

Don't Wait to Feel Great™
By now, you know to take MiraLAX at your first signs of constipation to relieve constipation and soften stool with no harsh side effects - but what are the symptoms of constipation? While they're different for everyone, here's what to look out for:

Abdominal discomfort

Fatigue

Gas

Achiness

Bloating

Irritability

Straining

Lack of energy

*Excluding other Polyethylene Glycol 3350 laxatives
Generally produces a bowel movement in 1-3 days.
Use as directed for occasional constipation."
As a BzzAgent, I received free Miralax to try and coupons I shared as well.

(You can also share this code for 10% off a Dell laser printer with friends! 8NBKCCXQH92HMB)

Visit Dell.com to learn more about all the laser printers Dell offers and why they’re a smart decision for home offices and small businesses.

Bzzagent sent me coupons (which I shared with others) For instance, my daughter and her honey had needed a printer for a very long time, what with college etc. Plus she happens to be a marvelous photographer, so I wanted her to be able to print out some of her artworks. Having had a Macintosh monochrome laser printer decades ago as a journalist, I knew one of these might be perfect, so I gave them a code. They liked the idea of getting a discount of course, and of the laser saving money potentially in the long run by costing less per page. The promised better print quality and the WiFi also intrigued her, since she has a laptop. But they were disappointed (like I) that it cost so much upfront for the laser cartridge itself. They wound up getting a used printer off Craig's List, lol.

BzzAgent also gave me a coupon code for me to use myself so I could buy a printer at a discount for a review. Unfortunately, although I wished and dreamed for and needed a new printer and planned to hopefully get one before the deadline, due to unexpected health issues I could not afford to get one after all. (Boohoo.) Even at half off, the cash outlay would have been too much for me right now. (Sorry BzzAgent and Dell.)

However, I can tell you what BzzAgent says about the printers. I'll bet these info bits will pique your interest:

"Today's laser printers deserve way more props than they get. Do they offer superb quality printing? Absolutely. Can they save you time and money? Without a doubt. Are some smaller, sleeker and easier to use than ever before? Thanks to Dell, they totally are!

A printer with the word "laser" in the name undoubtedly means business, but these machines aren't just for work anymore. Achieve cost-effective, razor-sharp prints for everything from school assignments to crafting projects, all in a matter of minutes.

For a minute there, these sleek and mighty machines had us fooled. Mesmerized by the HD

TVs of the world, we were oblivious to the fact that there's LED technology living inside Dell

laser printers. It's like the Trojan Horse of electronics! Clever little trick, Dell, but the public's

finally hip to what you're printing. And let's just say we're impressed."

,
In 2010, over 80% of Dell's printers won a major industry

award — their laser printers alone have won five PC

Magazine Editor's Choice Awards!

Have a home office or a small business with big plans? Whether you're looking for monochrome or color, something simple or a multifunction machine, here are some stellar Dell laser printers to consider:

DELL B1160W – THE NEW CLASSIC

Space-saving and reliable, the Dell™ B1160w Laser Printer offers mono printing at its best. This monochrome wonder with built-in wireless is the consummate home office accessory.

DELL 1250C – THE WORKHORSE

This compact color laser-class printer saves space without skimping on functionality. The Dell™ 1250c Color Printer features high-quality printouts and blazing fast printing speeds.

DELL 1350CNW – THE FIRECRACKER

Spark and support your creativity with the Dell™ 1350cnw Color Printer — offering seamless WiFi connectivity, brilliant color capabilities and easy networking.

DELL 1355CN – THE GENERATOR

Color printing and scanning are compact when it comes to the Dell™ 1355cn Color Printer. Stand out from the crowd with quick and amazing color prints, copies, and scans featuring rich, true-to-life tones.

DELL 1355CNW – THE COMMANDER

Transform your work space into a hub of productivity with the Dell™ 1355cnw Multifunction Color Printer. Enjoy wireless printing and superb print, fax, copy and scan cap

"Behold — all the reasons you never knew you wanted and needed a Dell laser printer:

INGENIOUS DESIGN = SMARTER

Laser printers rely on dry toner rather than wet ink, so printed pages don't smear or curl, and cartridges never dry out before they're fully used
Dell uses emulsion aggregation (EA) toner, which can produce fewer CO2 emissions during the manufacturing process and can lead to less energy consumption overall

LED TECHNOLOGY = FASTER

LED color printers print in a single pass instead of the standard four passes for other printers in this class — the result is a dramatically faster color print speed
A small print head makes for an ultra-compact design, allowing you to maximize your work space
The drum and fuser unit are made to last the lifetime of the printer; replace the toner and nothing else

LOW MAINTENANCE = PENNIES PER PAGE

High-capacity toner cartridges are designed to lead to a lower cost-per-page
Decreased energy consumption and minimal maintenance can also help reduce the cost of owning a printer by up to 70%
Fuser parts and kits are covered for all Dell laser printers under a valid Dell Limited Hardware Warranty*

Kroger Ralphs Pizza discovery means I might never have to get delivery pizza again!

FAMILY NIGHT WITH KROGER^®

Ralphs Brand chicken, bacon and ranch pizza rocks!

I recently got to review it and other things, and might never have to order delivery pizza again!

As I mentioned in some former blog posts, I was excited to be able to participate as a Bzzagent in the Family Night with Kroger Bzzcampaign. Even though I knew due to unfortunate circumstances I wouldn't be able to get my whole family together at once, I was happy to have a chance to have what fun I could with them.

Bzzagent promised that I would be able to"delight and unite my loved ones with convenient, affordable and great-tasting foods from Kroger, Fred Meyer and Ralphs!" So I couldn't wait for the samples to arrive!

http://www.softcoin.com/Sites/Kroger_CartBuster/Page/SelectCouponsPage

Since I often shop at Ralphs, as does my daughter, but had not tried the products they were sending, I figured this was a great opportunity to try yummies that might help me save money at the same time.
As you know, I love being frugal and try whenever possible with coupons etc. to save a very high percentage on my grocery trips.

Speaking of savings, check out the deals info to the right! There are storewide specials plus Deal of the Day through Aug. 11 to help support our Olympic athletes, at all Kroger-affiliated stores. Great chance for you to go try the items I'm reviewing here, lol.

When my box arrived, I opened it quickly. Inside my goody box were
- one personal-size bottle of Peach and Blackberry Vitamin Enhanced Water
- one regular-size bag of plain Tortilla Cupz
- 2 free coupons to use for my review: one for any Ralphs Frozen Pizza, and one for their Frozen Fruit bars.
- some other coupons I shared with others.

Ralphs brand Frozen Pizza:

I'll review the pizza first, since my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Here's how Kroger Brand describes their pizzas:
" Order up pizzeria-size fun for the family without the pizzeria-size wait. Kroger® frozen pizzas bake in minutes and come with a variety of crusts and toppings for plenty of options to keep everyone at the table satisfied. When it's time for a pizza party, Kroger has what you need.! "

We chose to get the thin and crispy crust chicken bacon ranch pizza, in the green labeled box. Boy did it sound good. It was even rectangular like one of those artisan pizzas.

I have to admit that even though the ingredients had sounded wonderful together, I was skeptical because I've found it rare to find a good frozen pizza. Either they are so expensive if they do taste good, or they have fake cheese and pepperoni and taste like cardboard, rubber, mush, or too spicy. Also they often cook unevenly, it seems, with parts remaining cold and icky. Not so with this pizza!

Now when my oldest son or daughter or hopefully my youngest son and I have a family night get-together, for instance, we can buy one of those instead of ordering in Domino's. It tastes better plus costs less because we can buy just one. And it cooks up quickly in the oven.
It smelled so good while it cooked! Wow!
Then, it was as tasty and delicious as it looked! Isee my photo of the results at right.)
First I noticed I was pleasantly surprised by the totally real cheese. :) That's because for some reason I'm not as fond of the Ralphs brand block cheeses as I am of Kraft or Land o Lakes. (The same with the Ralphs provolone: I prefer Sargenti.) But the cheese on this frozen pizza was excellent and seemed to be just the right amount. (although you can never have enough cheese, of course, they were not stingy with it or the other toppings besides maybe the bacon. (Ok, so we can never have enough bacon either, lol.)
I also loved the sauce! Tomato sauce is tough on my stomach. So I was pleased to see a frozen pizza offering ranch sauce. I was afraid it would be too spicy or salty or too bland, but it tasted wonderful and was loved by all present.

Kroger-brand Tortilla Cupz:

The Tortilla Cupz are similar to those name-brand scoop chips you see advertised on television a lot lately. Only of course they cost less.
They sent me a full bag of plain salted tortilla chips. I love plain tortilla chips. These taste good. Not too salty. Not at all greasy. Relatively thin for heavy dips, but the cupz work on dip when they are intact.
(When not crushed by transportation via mail in a box right next to a bottle of water, lol.) Most of mine arrived in pieces because the small piece of cardboard separating the bag and the bottle wasn't enough to protect them. But I assume in the store they've been transported more safely :)
Krogers has a great dip recipe I've made my own version of long ago, and will be happy to make again with the next bag of their chips I buy:
"Our Fiesta Dip Platter is made of layers of refried beans, salsa, sour cream and Cheddar cheese topped with olives, tomato and green onion. Serve it with tortilla chips for a dish that will keep your guests racing back for more."

Zero-Calorie Vitamin Enhanced Water
Here's how Kroger describes their water: "Quench your thirst guilt-free. New Kroger® Vitamin Enhanced Water is delicious and refreshing without the calories and artificial flavors. Try one of three flavors: Orange Starfruit, Peach and Blackberry, or Black and Blueberry,
I gave my oldest son the Peach and Blackberry bottle of water they sent. He's pretty picky now at the age of teenager, but he said he liked it. So I'm looking forward to trying it and the blueberry flavor. They should have variety packs :)

Frozen Fruit Bars:
My youngest son is currently in an extremely hot location and LOVES frozen treats like ice pops etc. So I sent him the coupon to try the frozen fruit bars. I'll let you know his opinion when he shares it with me. :)
Kroger Brand Product Montage

Visit Kroger.com, Ralphs.com, or FredMeyer.com to learn more about all the exclusive products available at the Kroger family of stores. I also like to load their online coupons to my savings card, makes saving money even easier than just printing out or clipping coupons.
If you don't shop at those 3 stores, rest assured – Vitamin Enhanced Water, Tortilla Cupz, Frozen Pizza, and Frozen Fruit bars can be found in your stores – but just under a different name. Replace the "Kroger" in Kroger Tortilla Cupz with your store's name (Fred Meyer Tortilla Cupz, for instance). They’re the same quality products, just for your store.

You can find them at these stores listed below:
