So I tell you all the time about how I love Swag Bucks for earning “bucks” on my normal internet searches. Just last night I won 8 Swag Bucks by doing a normal search! Plus, right now is a great time to join as we have a special code to get you 70 additional Swag Bucks just for signing up!

Sign up at Swagbucks.com using this special link, click the text that reads “I have a sign up code” as you are signing up and enter the code BRIANA70 to get 70 Swag Bucks to start you off with. You can get 30 additional by completing your profile as you are signing up. This will get you a total of 100 Swag Bucks to start out with. It only takes 450 Swag Bucks to earn a $5 gift card so you will almost be 1/4 of the way there just by signing up! This code has been extended through May 31, 2013!

Recently P&G sent me a package of their most loved products. These are brands like CoverGirl, Dawn, and Swiffer, which have received hundreds of awards from industry experts over the years. This makes them some of America’s “Most Loved” home,  beauty, and grooming staples! Many of these items are on my personal most loved list as well!

These products are trusted for quality and have been passed down through the generations because they are household essentials that moms like me can depend on to make my life easier! I especially love the Olay 4-in-1 Daily Facial Cloths, which are perfect for travel and everyday use. When I’m traveling it’s nice to have these because they are compact and I only have to bring the facial cloths instead of bring a cleanser and eye make-up remover as the cloths cleanse, scrub, and remove oil and make-up like mascara or eye liner!

Tide to Go is another most loved item. It is a must for someone who is sloppy like me. For example, if I’m wearing a white shirt, I can guarantee that I will spill my coffee or lunch all over it. It’s nice to have a Tide to Go in my purse to help remove the stain before I’m able to get to my laundry room.

Even celebrities use P&G products! “E! News” co-anchor, actor and P&G fan, Terrence ‘J’ Jenkins, one of America’s “Most Loved” pop culture experts, uses many of these products every day.  Check out this video to learn about Terrence’s P&G must-haves and on-set experiences or learn more about the program here.

How would you like to win an awesome prize package of P&G products? One lucky Bargain Briana will win!

How to Win?

Prize: P&G Prize Package:  CoverGirl Outlast Double Lipshine , CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara, Olay 4-in-1 Daily Facial Cloths, Pantene Hairspray Flexible Hold, Venus and Olay razor, Swiffer Dusters, Febreze Car Vent Clips, Tide to Go **Products may vary based on availability (Approximately $55 value)

The Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington D.C. just released the results of “Kids’ Meals: Obesity and Poor Nutrition on the Menu” report on the quality and nutrition of kids’ meals served at the top 50 chain restaurants in the United States. I’m not surprised that they found that SUBWAY® restaurants was the only chain to meet CSPI’s criteria for the entire FRESH FIT^TM for KIDS menu.

Of the 3,498 meal combinations investigated by the CSPI, 97% do not meet the expert nutrition standards for children’s meals and 91% do not meet the NRA’s Kids LiveWell standards. This is shocking and sad considering we as Americans eat out much more today than ever before in the past with almost half of our food dollars spent on restaurant foods. We have been working hard in our house to do effective meal planning to limit our dining out dollars to save money and eat healthier. However, it is good to know we can head to Subway and know there are plenty of healthy options for the kids.

All of Subway’s childrens’ meals include apple slices and apple juice or low-fat milk, which meet both the expert and industry nutritional standards. Subway is one of my kids favorite places to go to eat! My two youngest usually want the turkey with cheese and apple juice. It’s such a change of pace from burgers, french fries, chicken nuggets. Though, I have to hear “Eat Fresh” about fifty times each time we go.

To celebrate this achievement, Subway wants to offer one lucky reader a $40 Subway gift card to enjoy a FRESH FIT^TM meal of your choice with your family at a local SUBWAY restaurant.

How to Win?

Prize: $40 Subway Gift Card

Your little one will love pretending to cook along side their favorite Sesame Street characters! The Playskool Sesame Street Come ‘N Play Cookie Monster Kitchen Cafe comes with 6 pieces of food, a spatula and frying pan to get your child started. This is great for little ones from 18 months to 4 years old.

The sounds effects are fun for little ones and includes over 70 phrases and sound effects in total. Plus, you won’t be able to get the Cookie Monster Kitchen Café Song out of your head. For added fun and a dose of realism, the stove burner “lights up” and makes sizzle sound effects and the order bell dings. When my kids were little, the sizzle on the play stove was always a hit.

Plus, this mom loves that no assembly tools are required because it usually takes me longer to find the right screw drivers than it does to put things together. No issues with this toy as it securely snaps together.

Product Features:

• Cook along with Cookie Monster and friends!
• “Feed” everyone’s favorite Sesame Street Pals!
• Sing along with Cookie Monster, Elmo and Abby Cadabby!
• Explore the alphabet!
• Oven door opens and closes!

The Sesame Street Cookie Monster Kitchen Cafe retails for $64.99 and can be purchased at major retailers as well as online retailers like Amazon.com (listed at $34.99 right now).
