Brand X With Russell Brand!

 I recently had a viewing party through Crowdtap of  Brand X with Russell Brand a new show on the network FX !  I gathered some of my family and friends over at my daughters new apartment to watch the show.

Getting ready to laugh! LOL!

To help us get in the mood for the show we all walked down the street to the coffee shop to watch open mic night. We watched a not so great comedian, my Daughter played the piano and sang ( wonderful) and my husband actually performed a few magic tricks!  Yes I am married to a magician and have a musician daughter!  Now we were in the mood for some good comedy!

Let the "kids" pick the snacks and you
end up with pizza rolls and cake! Yum!

Sporting a "Brand" vest!

Back at the apartment we ate some great snacks and performed our best Russell Brand impersonations!  Not all of them very good.  My son however has a sense of humor we call "Under the Radar" because he manages to say something very subtle to get us rolling!

He looks very Russell Brand ish!

son doing his Tebow wearing the
shirt that makes me cringe!

We then watched some very funny Russell Brand X clips on the FX website....did I say very funny!  My kids loved the Tim Tebow clip as my son is an avid football fan and does the best Tim Tebow impersonation! (At least in my opinion!)



We are now primed to watch the premier!  When the show started I was a little leery because I was unsure what to expect but as I watched I was pleasantly surprised!  We laughed throughout the show and since my son's name is Joe he immediately sympathized with Joe the man from the audience that Russell Brand picked on throughout the show!  My husband really enjoyed seeing Ryan Hurst on the show because he is a huge fan of Son's of anarchy and I got a kick out of seeing Cletus Hogg!


Over all we all thought the show was humorous and glad that is was rather easy to laugh with!  It was not tooo political or too serious it was a great half hour escape from reality!  My friends and family enjoyed it so much that they all stated they would tell their friends to watch it too!

Progresso....Recipe Starters...So Easy!

I recently got to try Progresso's new Creamy Portabella Mushroom Sauce through Bzzagent!  Let me tell you I was nervous at first because my son and I are not huge mushroom fans so we were a bit skeptical that we would enjoy this meal but we love to try new things!

I decided I would try the Recipe Starter in the crockpot with several chicken breast that I had just purchased.  I am always cooking in the crockpot during the week and so I really wanted to see how well this sauce would work.


I was amazed!  The chicken came out moist and delicious and the sauce great!  My fear of mushrooms was put to rest when I tasted the sauce it was flavorful but the taste was not so overpowering that I could not enjoy my meal.  I made a bed of egg yolk noodles for the chicken and sauce and to tell you how good it was there were no left overs!  My son ended up eating three helping of just the chicken so his initial hesitation turned into ravenous hunger once the first taste test was completed!

Thank Progresso and Bzzagent I am already looking into all the great recipe ideas I have seen online to try the next great Progresso Recipe Starter.  I am thinking Creamy Roasted Garlic Sauce would be great with chicken and rice!

Totally Biased Premier Party!

I recently had a premier party for the new FX show Totally Biased with W. Kamua Bell through Crowdtap!
I gathered some of my family and friends together on August 9th to watch the premier!  To prepare for the party we had some pizza before hand and some goodies to be snacked on during the show!

Lets get this party started!

sneaking some goodies!

We waited in anticipation for the show to start but while we waited we played a game  We each wrote down our own personal Bias and put them in a hat and then pulled each one out and had a guess at whose bias was whose.  I never knew my mother had a bias against OOmpa Loompas, I knew there was a reason she did not like the movie.  We had a lot of fun guessing each others biases!

Pizza!!! 

Playing Whats your Bias?

We also enjoyed watching the the exclusive content provided to us by Crowdtap and Totally Biased!
The content was humorous and helped us to get our laugh on!  We were now in the mood for some comedy!

When the show began we eagerly sat down to watch!

In The Club House Watching Exclusive!

We chuckled throughout the show and really enjoyed the edginess that it had.  We all agreed that when talking about hot button issues comedy is definitely key!  There were certain parts of the show that really had us laughing like the Frisk and eat Fresh bit.  Very funny.  While I can see this show appealing to certain demographics I can also see that it can be used to draw in various ages and people with different points of view together and have a laugh while discussing their favorite topics!



We all agreed that we would really like to see how this show evolves in future episodes!  Comedy is a great way to reach audiences and great television shows get better with each episode!  Looking forward to watching the next show!  Thursdays at 11pm on FX!

Woolite Sample and Share!!

I recently got to share with my family and friends a great product!  

Woolite Extra Dark Care!  When I receive my Samples I will finish writing this blog and post some pictures!

Family Night With Kroger!

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to have a Family Fun Night thanks to Kroger and Bzzagent!
I received for FREE a bag of Kroger Brand Cupz Tortilla Chips, Kroger Brand Vitamin Enhanced Water, Truly Awesome Frozen Pizza, and Kroger Brand Frozen Fruit Bars!  What a great start for our Family Night!

I will Start with the Tortilla Cupz they were great and the kids loved them!  They enjoyed them so much that they opened them right away and I had to hid them so we would have some left for the family fun night.  I have to say the only thing I did not like was the packaging I am not sure if it is the lavender bag but if I were at the store they might not have caught my eye. Taste and price though you can't beat them  I ended up having to break out my bag of Kroger Brand Yellow Gold Tortilla chips as a snack while we played a game! lol











The Pizza was great! We bought the Pepperoni self rising crust and let me tell you it rose into a wonderful puffy crust that for the price will definitely give the name brands a run for their money.  I thought the sauce on the pizza was delicious! The Pizza did not last long and I will be going to the store for more in the future!



The Kroger Brand Frozen Fruit Bars were great we had the coconut flavor!  I love the price and they had a delicious fruity flavor!  The first taste was refreshing especially on a hot summer day.   I will be buying these again and again!  My kids are really into eating healthier and I love the fact that are affordable and have a great fruit taste.


The Kroger Enhanced Vitamin Water was also great!  I have bought the name brand of this product for years and I am thrilled to be able to to have an alternative the is reasonable price but still has a great refreshing flavor. It's taste was not too sweet as some flavored water can be and the flavors were not overpowering but added to the enjoyment to the drink!
