Ok, I'm supposed to write a blog post about me and my BFF because I'm trying to win a Girl's Night Prize Pack!  I have two BFF's, my daughter April and my girlfriend Jewel.  I'm going to pick my daughter just because we have pics together, and I don't know if I even have ONE with my other BFF Jewel!  That's terrible! It can be funny, sweet, sad or whatever. And this is what we win:

• Grand Prize - Girls' Night Prize Pack (1)
(1) Gourmet popcorn pack (1) Cute popcorn bucket (1) Bridesmaids DVD (1) Hardcover copy of "Yes Please!" by Amy Poehler (1) bag Hershey's Chocolate

I'll pick this one ...

It started out when she was probably only 15 or 16.  I was on the computer working or playing games, or just something, and she was talking to me about random stuff. Truthfully, I was only half way listening to what she was saying, probably going, Umm hmmm, yeah, ahhh, and so forth.  You know us parents sometimes do, right? Well, she started talking about this boy named Josh that she and her friends hung out with on occasion, just nonchalantly, like it was no big deal.  I hadn't heard much about him really.  She told me that he was leaving for Tennessee soon and it was good because they were better off as friends because they would probably just cheat on each other or some nonsense ... kind of crazy things.   There goes another of one of my haha's thrown in there so she would think I was really listening.  Anyhow, I heard her voice kind of catch and a kind of "wounded" sound in her voice as she continued to talk about this boy Josh that she wasn't going to miss at all, and it immediately caught my attention and I almost froze.  Instead, I turned around and said, "Oh my God, you love him, don't you, don't you?!".  She said something like, oh no mom, we're just friends and we're better off as friends.  I kept looking at her and I KNEW that it was more than that! And it's funny because I remember thinking at that moment, she is going to MARRY this boy!!  I don't know how I knew, but I just knew, just like I did when my son asked me to babysit for his young girlfriend who had a four month old baby.  

Anyhow, she started crying, and we talked, and we said that maybe he wouldn't leave, or she could go see him or something.  It was such an emotional moment for both of us; little does she probably realize that it was for me as well.  I felt so bad for her and my full attention was on what she was saying.  I could just feel how much she was hurting and how much she was going to miss him if he left.  It had been a long time since I had seen her in that much pain, and none of that type.

Well, as it turned out, "Josh" never moved back out of state, he stayed around and they started dating and they are married today with three children of their own!

Thanks Crowdtap for this opportunity to win just ONE MORE thing from your website and try out something fun and new!  My daughter and I work hard on Crowdtap to earn some extra things and to help promote all the new products that you put on your site!

GILLETTE® FUSION PROGLIDE RAZOR & 2-IN-1 SHAVE GEL

First of all, while I was waiting on my cool new FREE Razor and Shave Gel from Gillette to show up, I was wondering how well it would work, would it feel good in my hand as I shaved, would the shave gel smell good or would it be one of those semi sickly kind of smells that shave gels seem to have.  I waited with anticipation for THE DAY to arrive!  Drum roll ... I heard the Postman drive up and I anxiously went outside to meet him.  I nearly snatched my Bzzagent box from him and half ran in the door to open it up.  I did my video unboxing and out came my products!  I immediately went to the bathroom to begin THE SHAVING!  But first, I had to stop and marvel at the design of the razor!  Wow! Wow! It LOOKED like a razor that someone with money must use, because it was kind of sleek, the blade bent back to accommodate the curve and shape of my face and legs, and it actually ROTATED side to side!!   I guess I wasn't expecting that. AND the blades were sharp, almost so sharp that I about nicked my thumb before getting started. I thought I had broken it when I pressed down and the blade POPPED off, but it hadn't.

I got a little gel on my hand, and much to much pleasant surprise, the gel smelled GREAT!  I had received the Ocean Breeze Shave Gel.  It has a good feel to it and lathered up NICELY!  It wasn't irritating to the skin, which is the experience I have had with some shave creams.

I began to shave my legs and the blade just glided over my legs with the combination of the very excellent shave gel and very excellent razor!  Needless to say, but I will, I was totally impressed by both of these products and I felt like I had just entered into "the shaving experience" of my lifetime. Then, to top it all off, I saw that there was a $5 off coupon in the package that I could towards purchasing another one.  And believe me, I WILL.

I recommend this product to ALL, men and women alike, as your one and only new razor and shave gel!

Day by Day Blotting Papers

                                                                     #beautytip

Facial Blotting Paper (Day by Day Beauty) from Tomoson.com came in the mail FREE to do a product review on.  There were two packages in a classy elegant container that was impressive.  On the back it showed you how to get a future 20% off the product by signing up to their site which I thought was good use of a small package, a great way to involve you in their product and make a potential future sale!  I admit that I was pleasantly surprised by this seemingly, somewhat insignificant detail.  Then, when I opened the package, it had printed on it, "Hello Beautiful".  That was a sweet little surprise and very product-friendly and made me feel as though they cared about my beauty routine and their product. It certainly gave me a sweet little feeling like "Ahaaa!"   I have to admit, I'm liking the packaging on this product and what I call their message.

The paper was absorbent, no problem with that at all,  I used it on my face, as you see because I was sweating a bit, but also had some excess moisturizer on my face that needed to be absorbed.  It worked just fine.  It was an experience since I had never really used blotting papers in the past.  It just didn't seem like something I would want or need.  But it was kind of odd to open up the package and feel like I was grabbing out a roll-up cigarette paper!

 I had never in my life considered really using blotting papers because I didn't see any real reason to when I could just use a napkin or tissue, but I may now.  And if I do, I will by these blotting papers, mainly because of the fact that they put a lot of thought and detail into their packaging and conveyed the idea that they really DO know beauty.  I would have to take advantage of the 20% off because I think they are just a bit too pricey, at least for me. Others may disagree with that, but that is my idea.
