Johnsonville Grillers

I had the opportunity to try a brand of frozen burgers for free as part of a sampling mission for CrowdTap. I received a coupon to redeem in-store for a free product. I went to my local Kroger in search of the burgers. I must say that they were very difficult to find at this particular store. I started my search in the meat aisle where the frozen burgers are normally kept. No sign of them. I searched in the freezer section and still no burgers. I finally managed to find them next to the seafood counter in a freezer case along with frozen seafood. That's such a very weird place to keep them in my opinion.


Ok, now on to the burgers. I choose the Cheddar Cheese & Bacon flavor. I took them home and my husband threw them on the grill. It took less than 15 minutes for them to cook thoroughly. When he brought them inside, I could immediately smell the aroma of mouth-watering bacon. The burgers were extremely juicy and very tender with the rich taste of gourmet cheddar. The burgers remained thick with very minimal shrinkage. They tasted A-Maz-ING!!!! I tasted bacon, bacon and more cheesy bacon. Yum-O! My husband and three year old daughter both gave these burgers a big thumbs up. Now I can't wait to try another flavor of those delicious Johnsonville Grillers Burgers.

Garnier SkinActive Miracle Anti-Fatigue


I recently got to try the Garnier SkinActive Miracle Anti-Fatigue products for free as part of a sampling mission for CrowdTap. I sampled the Wake-Up Hydra-Gel Moisturizer, the Sleeping Cream and the Eye Gel Cream.


I suffer from stress and lack of sleep. My skin was seriously starting to show the effects of it so I was intrigued by the claims of the Sleeping Cream. I only tried a small sample so I can't testify to the benefits of using it long term but I can say that it did help my skin feel somewhat softer the next morning instead of feeling dry like it normally does because I have to use a dehumidifier at night.
It didn't feel greasy and absorbed into my skin quickly. It has a light, pleasant scent of lavender. It is a  product that I would definitely be interested in continuing to use to help replenish moisture to my skin while I sleep.


I really enjoyed using the Wake-Up cream. I only tried a small sample so I don't know how well it works long term but I am seriously planning on purchasing the full sized bottle to continue to use it as my daily moisturizer. I love that it is a lightweight gel so that it doesn't feel like it weighs my skin down like some of the heavy creams will. It has a light, pleasant scent that is almost a little fruity smelling but not overpowering which is nice because I don't normally like using a lot of scented products on my face. 
It dried fairly quickly. I put it on then went and made breakfast to give it ample time to fully adsorb before I applied my makeup. My makeup went on smoothly over it without caking up. It did help my skin feel more refreshed after I used it that day. 


I received the full sized tube of the Eye Gel Cream to sample which was a good thing because this is a product that I needed the most. Between genetics, insomnia and aging, I was starting to look like a raccoon with the dark circles around my eyes. I have previously used several creams by would have to try one for the puffiness and another for the dark circles so I'm glad this Eye Gel Cream addresses both issues simultaneously. 
It is a clear gel and I started feeling the effects as soon as I applied it. I could feel a slight tingling sensation and then, as it dried, I could feel it starting to tighten. It did help to smoother out my eye area and my bags looked a lot less puffy after my first use. I have been using it for about two weeks now and I definitely can say that my dark circles are starting to dramatically improve in appearance. I love this Eye Gel Cream!
