Danone and DanActive

I am a BzzAgent, whereby at various times I receive products from manufacturers to try and review, and with BzzAgent, I also receive coupons to share, in exchange for spreading the buzz on the product.

I received a Free Product Coupon (FPC) for an 8 pack of Danactive Probiotic yogurt recently, and I got the Vanilla flavour pack. At first I was a little wary of the product because it seemed quite runny, until I reconciled the fact that it was a drink. :) I normally do not drink my yogurt, but prefer it with a spoon.

After trying the Danactive product, I found I still do prefer my yogurt with a spoon, but the Danactive Probiotic drink was delicious. Little Mr.Smith, Miss Smith and Mr.Smith drank the other 7 bottles ofthe product and it was pronounced "delicious," "really good," and "yummy." I also received requests to buy more.

With the campaign I received some contest entries with special PINS to give away to the "Yogurt for a Year" contest which ends May 30. I've given most of them away and will be giving the last couple away to class hostesses in upcoming classes.

I also found that if you join the Danone DanFan club, you can be chosen to receive gift certificates, discount coupons and prizes once you complete surveys sent to you. Right now there is a giveaway of 1 wine cellar (value of $700) and 10 LUSH gift baskets, valued at $100 each. They will pick winners TODAY! Sign up now.

Trying out something new

As many of you know, I use Swagbucks religiously in my internet search. What is Swagbucks, you might ask? Well, it's a search engine that is powered by Google and Ask.com, and instead of using Google automatically as my search engine, I use Swagbucks first. Swagbucks rewards me with random points and I accumulate the points to exchange them for giftcards to Amazon, Starbucks, Target, the likes.

Now that I have some (free!)cash sitting in my Amazon account, I am thinking of getting a couple of things. I've been wanting to get back into shape but really, really, hate running. A friend of mine has been recommending the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, so I've been swagbuck-ing it on line and researching reviews. I think I might be persuaded to get it, and now even more so because it's on sale for $9.99 (or free, with Swagbucks Amazon giftcards!)

Do you have this workout video? What's your review on it? Or, will you take the exercise plunge with me? We can be Shred Buddies! That could be a whole new series of blog posts: Saving money and Losing weight, by MrsSmith! LOL.
