Burt Bees Natural Skin Solutions



Ive just received my latest Bzz kit * and it is for Burt Bees Natural Skin Solutions for sensitive skin.

It contained a full size facial cleanser and a full size daily moisturizing cream, along with some samples of the moisturizer and some $1 off coupons.
I have really sensitive skin and at the moment I rely on people visiting me to bring me 'simple' products from England as that seems to be the only brand that my skin doesn't react to so, I'm excited to try these products, as it will nice to be able to purchase it locally. Burt Bees can be purchased in a variety of places including Target, Walmart and most drug stores and grocery stores. The sensitive skin range includes a facial cleanser, daily moisturizer, eye cream, and night cream. I believe the cleanser is priced at around $10 and the others around $15. All the products contain cotton extract which is used to soften and help replenish the skins outer layer. A big worry when you have sensitive skin is the ingredients in the products, these are all fragrance fee and hypo allergenic and have been allergy tested and dermatologist tested and are 99% natural.

I plan to start using the products tomorrow so will report back in a few weeks on the results. In the mean time if anyone would like to try a sample or would like a money off coupon please let me know.

* I've been given the opportunity to try these products as I am a Bzz Agent, which means I get sent products to try free of charge or for a small charge and in return I get to share with my friends and family the good and bad things I discover whilst using the products.
If you are interested in being a Bzz Agent you can visit http://www.bzzagent.com they are always looking for new agents, they currently have agents in the US, Canada and the UK. It's free to sign up and you get to try some cool products.

Homeward bound

I'm currently sat in the airport lounge at San Francisco International waiting for my Virgin Atlantic flight.
One thing I have noticed already, is the fact I am loving hearing all the British accents around me, I wonder if I will still feel the same in a weeks time!!

There is one really loud annoying woman in the lounge telling everyone her life story. Fingers crossed she isn't sat next to me in the plane.

When I checked in online it let me choose a seat in the upper deck of the plane, somewhere I've never been before, so that should be an interesting experience mingling with the upper class.

Been on my flight for three hours now, still another seven to go!! Pleased to report the loud annoying lady I saw isn't sat anywhere near me :) when I'm on a flight alone I prefer to put my headphones in and ignore everyone. Sadly the two guys next to me did not feel the same, they never met before this flight and have talked non stop, I can now tell you the names of their wives, kids, dogs, where they work, where they live and where they were born. So much for being in the quiet cabin. I attempted to watch one movie but fell asleep before the end.
Other than a flight to Cuba with Thomson holidays, which was the worst flight ever I always fly long haul with Virgin Atlantic, the air hostesses are always so nice and friendly and helpful, the food isn't bad (had beef stew and vegetables, ceasar salad, bread roll and some rather nice lemon curd crumb cake for dinner when we boarded). The movie choices are excellent and I like how you can choose what to watch and when and can pause and rewind etc as you wish. There goes my little virgin review. Actually I flew to Canada from London with some Canadian airline which was ok. Plus a cool new addition to their games section is........



Which should keep me busy for a while. My reading choice for the flight is One Day, I've seen the film, but wanted to see if the book was better. So far I've read the first chapter and it's all good. I've never seen a movie and then read the book after, actually I think I've only ever read one book that has been turned into a movie.




Currently cruising at 37000 feet, just hit our first bit of turbulence. Two hours left, let's just hope immigration isn't backed up too much.

This is the current view from my seat :)



Will post this blog as soon as I can pick up wifi :)
