I was selected by Moms Meet to test and review some Yogurt Fruit Drinks from Dreaming Cow
Lush. Each of these drinks contains 1 serving of veggies and the company prides themselves on the care and treatment of the cows that the products come from. They say "We believe in letting cows be cows, that means unconfined, grass fed bliss 365 days a year. No Barns. No Stress. No Added Hormones."
In the sample pack we received:
1 cooler bag with the Dreaming Cow Lush logo
1 magnetic note pad
10 coupons for 1 free Dreaming Cow Lush Yogurt Drink with 4 flavors to choose from
At our local King Soopers store, they only carry 3 of the 4 flavors so we were able to pick up the Strawberry Raspberry, the Blueberry Boysenberry, and the Lemon Passionfruit.
For our sample group meeting we picked up some little sample cups at Costco so that each of the yogurt drinks could be shared among multiple guests. This ended up working our perfectly too because some of the guests did not like certain flavors at all so that would have been a shame if they had a whole bottle of something that they did not like. I think the overall winner for flavor was the Strawberry Raspberry flavor with the Blueberry Boysenberry coming in second. As for the Lemon Passionfruit flavor, none of the adults liked this one but my son did happen to like to so he was given the rest of the bottle after the meeting. I think the general consensus was that people thought that these were alright but not the greatest but my son definitely thoroughly enjoyed these and has asked to pick up more the last time we were at the store together. I think I would purchase these again but in limited quantities when asked by my child but I do not think I would pick them up for myself but I would be willing to try some of the other Dreaming Cow products.

I was selected by Generation Good the sample sharing network from Seventh Generation to sample and review some Free & Clear Baby Wipes for Free. In the Sample Pack we Received:
3 packets each containing 2 wipes
My son is now turning 7 years old next week so these were not very useful for the traditional use for baby wipes but I like to still have some around the house to wipe hands and faces. I have also found that baby wipes work wonders for a number of household chores such as cleaning the walls and most of all cleaning the front loading washing machine. I used these wipes on my sons face and he did not flinch back from the smell nor feel which was nice. I also used another pack to clean a wall that had gotten dirty and was amazed at the strength of these wipes. They held up incredibly well for cleaning the walls and I was able to re-wet it in the sink and continue using. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone that has a young child and I would without a doubt pick these as my primary wipe choice if I were to have another child. The strength of these wipes is fantastic to avoid mishaps with poopy diapers and cheap wipes, certainly worth spending a few extra dollars.
I was selected by Crowdtap to sample and review some Splenda Naturals Sugar & Stevia blend sweetener for the holidays. The mission asks that you replace sugar with the Splenda blend in your holiday recipes.
In the sample pack we received:
2 - (3.5oz) sample packs of Splenda Naturals Sugar & Stevia sweetener blend.
I have loved using this sweetener blend to sweeten up many of my items but especially my morning coffee. I love the taste it gives in the coffee as opposed to regular sugar. I have also replaced sugar with this sweetener blend in a couple of my recipes for the holidays such as my pumpkin bread. There is a nice conversion chart on the back of the Splenda package that helps to know how much to use in place of sugar. For instance, 1 cup of sugar = 1/2 cup of the Splenda blend; I definitely like that I can reduce the amount of sugar used by using the Splenda instead. Hashtags: #SplendaSavvies #Sponsored

I was selected by Crowdtap to sample and review 5 Unilever products for kids for free. The products we received are all for bathing but of all different varieties and all are full sized products. My son started out using the BB-8 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner, body wash combo and has really liked it. He liked the pump on the bottle because it was easier for him to get the right amount without wasting too much; we had a talk about needing only 1 pump for your body and 1 pump for your hair. The morning after opening the package we decided to spike his hair for school, after spiking it, we used some of the kids hairspray to hold it in place for the day. Both my son and I felt that the hairspray worked well for our purposes.
In the sample pack we received:
Suave Kids Star Wars BB-8 Galactic Fresh 3-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash
Suave Kids Disney Frozen Elsa Berry Flurry Shampoo & Conditioner
Suave Kids Watermelon 3-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash
Suave Kids Star Wars BB-8 Galactic Fresh 3-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash: My son started out with this one and definitely likes it. He likes the smell and that it is designed to be appealing to boys with the Star Wars theme. He also liked the pump on the bottle because it was easier for him to get the right amount without wasting too much; we had a talk about needing only 1 pump for your body and 1 pump for your hair. I liked the way this smelled for my son and so did he and I appreciated that it kept him smelling nice and clean for an extended period of time because he showers every other night so I need something that will keep him looking and smelling clean for those 2 days in between. I also like the size of the bottles in comparison to some of the other kids products I have purchased previously, the adult sized bottle would help so that we are not running out so often.
Suave Kids Disney Frozen Elsa Berry Flurry Shampoo & Conditioner: This one was a little tricky at our house, seeing how it is marketed for girls with the Elsa design it took a little convincing to get my son to use this one. His father and I told him not to worry that it smelled good for a boy and that none of his friends would ever know what he uses to shower with, after thinking about that, my son was willing to use the product. To further entice my son, my sister and I both also tried the product and it seems that we all liked it. The Berry Flurry scent is awesome and lingers in a good way, I kept smelling my own and my sons hair because it smelled so good. This one is also great thanks to the pump bottle, that makes a huge difference in our home.
Suave Kids Swingin' Coconut Alcohol-Free Hairspray: The morning after opening the sample pack we decided to spike my sons hair for school, after spiking it, we used some of the kids hairspray to hold it in place for the day. Both my son and I felt that the hairspray worked well for our purposes. When I was a kid for a short time I had a perm and it was cute but took a ton of hairspray to hold it in place every day, this idea would have been perfect but after having used in my sons hair, I do not think it would be strong enough of a hold have held together my perm in those days the way my mothers super strong hairspray did. I think this would be best for simple uses such as that I did with my son but I would not expect it to have a significant hold on the hair. Suave Kids Swirlberry Detangler Spray: My son really does not have a use for this product because he has very short hair but both my sister and I have gotten quite a bit of use out of it. I had used detangler spray when I was a kid but now as an adult had just about forgotten about it. I am sure glad it has been reintroduced into my life. It is wonderful, just 1 or 2 squirts and I am able to comb out my hair so nicely without riping out chunks of hair as I go. It also makes my hair continue to feel soft afterward and seems to keep it from tangling again throughout the day. Suave Kids Watermelon 3-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash: This one has happened to be my sons favorite of the products that we received to try. He love the smell of this one best and I have to agree that it smells pretty darn awesome. He also likes that similar to the BB-8 wash that it is 3-in-1 so he can use just the one thing for his entire shower experience. Unfortunately, this bottle is a normal bottle with a pop top lid rather than the pump bottle so it is a little more difficult and I can tell there is quite a bit more wasting going on. I think that with these bottles it is difficult at his age of 7 that he is able to shower on his own but the bottle is a bit too big to pick up and squeeze effectively with those little hands when they are wet and slippery so much of the soap ends up running down the side of the tub.
Overall we loved these products and definitely will be purchasing more in the future when we run out of these items that we received for free. After testing these out, I will definitely hunt for bottles with the pump because I think that is a huge benefit at least for my family. We are super grateful to have received these products for free and cannot wait to see what we might get to sample next.

I was selected by the My Magazine Sharing Network from Kroger to test and review Kroger Cereals for Free. I actually already happen to know that I like the Kroger cereal because their frosted shredded wheat is my favorite, I have always liked it much more than the name brand. This awesome sample mission gave me the opportunity to try out some of the other cereals that they offer and I have to say we have not been disappointed yet.
My mom has been loving the Free Rice Bitz, she ate almost the entire box herself but I managed to snag a bowl of the cereal for breakfast and I have to agree it is delicious. I will definitely be purchasing more of the Kroger cereals that I did previously.
In the sample pack we received:
1 12oz box of Kroger Rice Bitz Cereal
A coupon booklet with coupons for myself and to give to others. There were multiples of the following coupons
Save $0.50 on the purchase of Two (2) Kroger Instant Oatmeals, any size, any variety
Save $0.50 on the purchase of One (1) box of Kroger Fruit & Grain Cereal Bars , 10.4oz, any variety
Save $0.50 on the purchase of Two (2) boxes of Kroger Cereal, any size, any variety
Save $0.40 on the purchase of One (1) Kroger Complete Pancake Mix, 2lb, any variety
Save $0.50 on the purchase of One (1) box of Kroger Granola Bars, any size, any variety
I was selected by .08Liter to try and review for free a Facial Oil from South Korea. The packaging had wording that I of course was unable to read but did by best to use the dropper in the container to apply the oil to my face . it smelled very nice and made my face feel soft and silky. I do not know that I would purchase this specific item in the future but I would like to try possibly some other brands that may have instructions/ ingredients in English.
UPDATE: My sister has tried the Facial Oil and she really likes it. It makes your face feel nice and soft. She used it at night but said that the next morning her face felt fresh and soft.
Hello,
I signed up for the Generation Good Sample Sharing Network site from Seventh Generation and was lucky enough to be selected right away for a free sample offer for some laundry detergent. The Generation Good site is a place where you can share your thoughts with the community and also read what others have posted to get some great ideas, while you are doing that you may be selected for some Free Sample offers that you could take advantage of. If you receive a free sample offer, once it arrives you then need to share about it on your social media profiles using the Generation Good websites single click sharing tool. Upon successfully completing your sample tasks, you may be eligible for other samples in the future.
In this sample pack we received:
2 (2 pack) packages of Generation Good Free & Clear Laundry Detergent Packs
We tried out one of the packages with 2 loads of laundry and I gave the other sample pack to a friend for them to try. I used our sample packs for my husband’s laundry because he often complains about the soap I use irritating his skin. Recently I have been trying our some free & clear laundry samples on him to see what he likes and these passed the test. He has not complained about any skin irritations after wearing the clothing that has been washed with this detergent. I appreciate that this brand is widely available to pick up in store and that I do not have to order it. A couple other free & clear detergents that we have tried recently are subscription plans which is not something I am willing to start at this time so am glad to have found an option for Free & clear detergent that I can pick up at my local store anytime. I also liked the pods, I typically purchase liquid soap but my son has recently begun to help with more chores such as laundry but finds it difficult to correctly pour the right amount of soap from the bottle. These detergent pods make it so much easier for him to just grab a pod and know that is the right amount of soap. I may definitely be switching to pods to enable my son to help around the house more.
