SPLENDA ESSENTIALS Adds New Product Line With More….

Michele — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 17:57:01 +0000

SPLENDA is a staple in our home so I was excited when I was asked to work on this campaign. I have been working very hard to live a healthier lifestyle for me and my family. SPLENDA has added a new line, SPLENDA ESSENTIALS with these 3 products.

No Calorie Sweetener with B Vitamins
No Calorie Sweetener with 1 gram of Fiber
No Calorie Sweetener with Antioxidants

For my review, I tried the follow 3 products:

No Calorie Sweetener with B Vitamins
No Calorie Sweetener, 1 gram of Fiber packets
No Calorie Sweetener, 1 gram of Fiber granulated

Summer Fruit Salad With SPLENDA

In the summer time I have a fruit salad that I make in a special way to make the juices come out.

First I cut up the strawberries at least 1 hour before I plan to serve the fruit salad. I add about 1 tablespoon of SPLENDA sweetener to the strawberries and mix. I put that in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. The SPLENDA brings the juices of the strawberries our and enhances the flavor.

After 30 minutes, I will add the rest of the fruit which consists of any combination of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and grapes. I add another tablespoon of the SPLENDA and store in the refrigerator until I am ready to server.

Here is the finished product:

The important part of living a healthy life is that we still get to enjoy the tastes and flavors we love so my family doesn’t feel deprived. We all know how kids feel when they can not eat something. Using SPLENDA as part of an overall healthy lifestyle has allowed my family to still enjoy our favorite summer fruit salad and many baked treats and not feel deprived.

Nintendo DSi and 2 Games from GameStop

Michele — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 20:27:14 +0000

Let’s just get to the nitty gritty since we all know that you are here because you want to win a Nintendo DSi. You don’t need me to tell you how awesome the Nintendo DSi is because if you didn’t agree, you wouldn’t be here. Not only is the DSi a great gadget to keep your kids busy, but there are a lot of games for adults too (and all those kids games are fun for adults, but shhhh…you didn’t hear that from me because I don’t EVER play my kid’s DSi games when they are at school so I wouldn’t know :::wink wink:::).

GameStop is providing me with a Nintendo DSi and 2 games and also giving the same prize package to one of my readers (could be you!). Before I tell you how to win, I want to give you some exciting news.

GameStop Discount on Nintendo DSi

GameStop is offering the popular Nintendo DSi (excellent Xmas present) for only $149.99 right now. That is an awesome price. So, if you don’t win one here, you can go buy one.

Win Family Nintendo DSi Prize Package

Since the Nintendo DSi is so awesome, you need to have one for everyone in the family. Go to TodaysMama and enter to win DSi’s for the entire family. You heard me right! That’s 5 DSi’s and 10 games.

Super Special GNO Twitter Party

Join me, Mom It Forward and several other gaming Moms for a special GNO Twitter party. Love gaming? Have kids who are gamers? Want to learn more about how gaming promotes skills, values, and family togetherness? Then, join me at the #gno Twitter party this WEDNESDAY, September 15 from 9-11 p.m. ET (8 CT, 7 MT, 6 PT). (And it’s super special because I will be there!)

Nintendo DSi + Two Games Giveaway

Now, I’m ready to give you the details for the giveaway. GameStop is providing one of my readers with a Nintendo DSi plus two (2) games (retail value of $210). To enter, leave me a comment below with your favorite video game AND tweet about this contest using @ScrappinMichele in the tweet so I know you tweeted. (UPDATED: If you don’t have Twitter, mention that in your comment.)

On Monday, September 20 at 1:00 pm ET, I will randomly pick one (1) winner. I will email the winner and she/he will have 24 hours to contact me with your shipping information and phone number, or I will pick another winner.

That’s it! Simple = Done!

disclosure: GameStop is providing me with 1 Nintendo DSi and 2 games in exchange for this post and participating in the Twitter party. All opinions are my own.
