<span style="color: blue;">So what am I talking about you ask? What is a Zwapper you say?</span><br />
<br />
ZWAP is a new canadian contest forum I have joined. And ZWAPPERS is the affectionate name the members have taken to calling themselves. I love it over there. The people are friendly and the contests are plenty!! Did you know just for JOINING you can get a 2.50 Tim Hortons Gift card sent to you? And thats not all! Be an active member and the rewards keep coming! <br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">LINK ME you say? </span>ok then :) http://www.forum.zwap.com/<br />
<br />
Zwap is currently holding a contest for its members (told ya they were awesome!! ) . Members are asked to recruit new members to the forum to be entered into the draw. So here I am recruiting you (P.S. if you ever so kindly want to say FOKXXY sent me when you join.. my feelings certainly wouldn't be hurt lol but it is not a requirement) . Would I recruit you if there wasn't a reward. YOU BET YOUR BOTTOM I WOULD!! So far I am loving this forum. The members have been helpful , friendly and full of good posts! I likes it!<br />
<br />

</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As I was pondering the <a href="http://tiny.cc/ozn6q">Snack Pack Share A Smile</a> campaign an old saying kept running through my head...</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>It takes 33 muscles to frown and only 17 muscles to smile :) </b></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now the saying above is not literal. There are disagreements over how many muscles each action really takes. No matter how many ways there are to say it , the important part behind the message is the meaning not the numbers.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>SMILE ! </b></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Smiling is contagious!</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>SMILE ! </b></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Smiling helps us stay positive ! Want to test the theory? Smile loud and proud and just for fun try and think about something negative without losing that silly grin off your face :)</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>SMILE ! </b></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">What makes me smile? Most of my smiles daily come from the 10 year old boy that brings me joy, laughter and hugs everyday. I can't help but smile at what a wonderful young man he is becoming. I smile when he laughs. I smile when he smiles. The remainder of my daily smiles usually come from the silly Jack Russel that is bounding after my 10 year old at a blurry pace :) </span></span></div><div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

I worked a lot of late nights and on top of never liking the taste of coffee I also didn't need anything to keep me awake longer. Winding down and getting into sleep mode after work was hard enough without throwing coffee into the mix.<br />
<br />
My love affair with coffee finally began about 3 years ago. I started working mornings in administration and coffee became a regular thing for me. Now I need it. Now I CRAVE it. Not only do I grab a coffee each morning in drive thru on my way to work but I also leave my house on Saturday and Sunday mornings to hit the drive thru for my coffee fix....usually while still in my PJ's :)<br />
<br />
So the question everyone asks me is "why don't you make coffee at home?". It is a simple answer really. I honestly have not found one that I like. I can't seem to find a brand that suits me. I have tried everything from cheap coffee to the ridiculously expensive coffee. I have bought well known name brands and I have bought brands that most people probably never heard of. The one thing I hadn't tried yet was coffee beans that I grind myself. <br />
<br />
When <a href="http://www.reunionislandcoffee.com/">Reunion Island Coffee</a> contacted me to do a review I responded with a giant coffee addicted YES!!! My package arrived and I was thrilled to see that it was coffee beans that I had to grind myself. Double Yes!! Something I hadn't tried before!! I was dying to give this coffee a taste test when I suddenly realized that I didn't own a coffee bean grinder (oops!). One short trip to a local store and I purchased myself a cheap one at $7.77 that works perfectly. <phew... :) ="" averted="" crisis=""></phew...><br />
<br />
I have to tell you. I enjoyed <a href="http://www.reunionislandcoffee.com/">Reunion Island Coffee</a>. It did take me a little getting used to the grinding of the beans and I found I was off a little when measuring out my grounds to water ratio. I originally put less in grinds than I was supposed to . The measurement recommendation on the package just looked like a lot compared to what I was used to measuring. The Columbia Las Hermosas coffee I was sent suggests 2 tablespoons per 180 ml cup and I was afraid it would turn out too strong. Note to self : Always follow directions :) <br />
<br />
I found the flavour of this coffee to be bold without being overpowering. Reunion Island Coffee puts a scale on the bag that goes from Mild to Bold and the coffee I was sent rated around the middle of that scale. It was perfect for me. I don't like my coffee too weak but I don't think I would have enjoyed a coffee rated at the high end of the boldness scale. This coffee was very smooth to me. Much smoother than the coffees I have tried in the last few months. I am quite happy with it. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.reunionislandcoffee.com/">Reunion Island Coffee</a> is based in Oakville, Ontario. I love that they are a Canadian based company. It was founded in 1996 and the company is also involved with Organic and Fair Trade products.<br />

</a>Fokxxyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11927040844362547669noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274280736414722498.post-63698428593282309252010-04-16T23:03:00.002-04:002010-04-16T23:09:26.009-04:00Bloggers Who Don't Follow ThroughBefore everyone jumps down my throat on this one.. YES, I KNOW there are lots of wonderful bloggers who DO follow through. I am happily building lasting relationships with them on a daily basis :) but this post isn't about them. Its about the ones that don't. <br />
<br />
It is a situation that irks me. A month ago or so I was sent a giveaway by a friend of mine for <gasp>COACH purses! 3 handbags to be exact. Two Coach and one Guess. Sweet giveaway we thought. <br />
<br />
We entered. Believe me, this was no small task. To enter you had to jump through a bazillion hoops (yes.. I am exaggerating for effect.. but seriously.. there were a lot of things to do). You had to follow the blog. Follow on twitter. Tweet. Write a 100 word blog post linking to all things she wanted you to and a few other things ( I would have all the exact details but the blogger has since removed said giveaway post). These were not extra entry options. These were MANDATORY. Yes, you had to do all of them. It was a lot of work. The prizes were good and the entries were down around the 50 entry mark.. so we entered. <br />
<br />
The giveaway end date comes and goes and no winner is announced. A week passes and we check the blog faithfully as the blogger had been adamant about NOT emailing the winner (Really people? Really? You require our email address but you won't contact us if we win.. and on top of that you will only give us 24 hours to find our win and contact you before we are DQ'd.. is it necessary to be that way? Really? .. but I digress...). Eventually the blogger posts a message stating something along the lines of.. I'm sorry.. been busy... will announce the winner this weekend. No biggie, I understand that bloggers are people, with lives, families, pets, husbands, other jobs and just plain old "me time" to deal with. Sometimes picking a winner just isn't top priority. I get it. I have those obligations too. So I wait. Everyone waits. All 80 people or so that worked hard putting together entries for this giveaway wait. The weekend comes and goes. The blog has no new posts. A few more days pass. Then a couple more. Till one day .. just when I am thinking I should pop a polite " Hi there, just wondering if you have drawn a winner?" email.. I pop onto the blog to see this .. and I quote " <br />
<blockquote><span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;">Goodbye </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;">Monday, March 15, 2010 </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;">I no longer have time to blog so goodbye blog world :( i really loved my followers and my blog idk maybe ill do it again you can still follow my twitter if you would like </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;">for the last time </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #38761d;">xoxo</span></blockquote>Yup, she up and left us. No winner. No nothing. Just stiffed everyone on the giveaway. People wished her luck and happiness and politely asked if the giveaway winner would be announced. Nothing. My friend sent her an email. Nothing. I tweeted her. Nothing. The only response we saw was her come back to the blog and delete the giveaway post. Oh, and she managed to come back once more and write a one line post about chicken nuggets. Ya, chicken freakin nuggets.. sheesh. I wanted to hunt this girl down and slap her silly with coach bags whilst throwing chicken nuggets at her and screaming "WHY??!!!" .. but again.. I digress... <br />
<br />
Apparently I needed to get all this off my chest. :) Its been eating me inside. <br />
<br />
The thing is (and I know its a few bad apples spoiling the bunch here) this isn't the only time I have seen this. I am currently waiting on a winner announcement in a contest where there are 4 prizes and 4 winners. Obviously I won (and so did the others) but there has been no winners announcements and no emails and yet the blogger still has time to come in and post three times a week about everything else under the sun. It has been 2 weeks since that one ended. In the course of my tour around the blogosphere this past year I have seen bloggers who don't answer emails, don't ship prizes, don't announce winners and generally just don't care enough to follow through. It is horrible. It is frustrating. It is unnecessary. I'm tired of it. <br />
<br />
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the good bloggers. UN- love the crappy ones. Anyone else have similar experiences, thoughts, gripes.. or just plain old want to disagree with me??<br />
<br />

<br />
I am a fan of many types of music. I don't always rate blues music at the top of my list of things to listen to but it rarely falls at the bottom of my list either. So when <a href="http://www.putumayo.com/">Putumayo</a> asked me to review their CD I jumped at it. <br />
<br />
I enjoyed listening to these songs. They were perfect for a Friday night wind down Rhythm and Blues style! There were a few songs that weren't my style but thats par for any CD I buy anyway. I don't know if I have ever bought any CD where I loved every single song. I think my favorite title on this is "'Til Your Fool Comes Home" which was really catchy and upbeat, but I also really liked "Put Me Down Easy". <br />
<br />
Here is the Tracklist:<br />
<br />
1 Lavelle White - I've Never Found a Man to Love <br />
2 James Hunter - 'Til Your Fool Comes Home <br />
3 Cracked Ice - Sweet Feeling <br />
4 The Quantic Soul Orchestra featuring Kabir - Who Knows <br />
5 The Emotions - My Honey and Me <br />
6 Sam Moore, Keb' Mo' and Angie Stone - Wang Dang Doodle <br />
7 Catherine Russell - Put Me Down Easy <br />
8 Ruthie Foster - 'Cuz I'm Here <br />
9 Snooks Eaglin - A Mother's Love <br />
10 Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings - 100 Days, 100 Nights <br />
11 Rockie Charles - Before I Find the Right Girl for Me <br />
12 Irma Thomas with Henry Butler - River Is Waiting <br />
<br />

I am a single woman and as much as that is a blessing at times (like when I don't have to share the television remote ) <wink>, other times it can be.. well..... lonely. There is no partner to be intimate with and the only person I can count on to satisfy me sexually is me. So I was very happy to be contacted to do a review and giveaway for <a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/">Eden Fantasys</a> (at least now I can have the right tools for the job!)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/">Eden Fantasys</a> offers a wide variety of items for everyone. As a single gal I found my interest piqued by items such as the <a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/vibrators/bullet-egg-vibrators/berry-delight">Berry Delight</a> and the <a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/vibrators/bullet-egg-vibrators/harmony-wireless-wonder">Harmony Wireless Wonder</a> . I took a look at the other toys there and for you couples ( I am envious!) I found the <a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/sex-toys-for-men/vibrating-penis-rings/vibrating-c-ring">Vibrating C-ring</a>. They also offer <a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/sexy-lingerie/">Lingerie </a>and quite a few items in the <a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/SENSUAL-LOVE/">Sensual Love department</a> ! It is worth a look around!<br />
<br />
I finally settled on a product that I thought I would enjoy and was happy when it arrived in discreet packaging just over a week later. <br />
<br />

<br />
The description from Eden Fantasys site: <br />
<br />
<blockquote>Whether you choose the mini probe, with its graduated 3-bulb shape, the traditional bullet, or even both, you won’t be disappointed. 7 functions for each toy combine to offer 49 different sensual combinations – choose from low, medium and high vibrations, low-low-high pulse, constant pulse, low-high pulse, and escalating. Each bullet is independently controlled via a plug in jack to a 4 AA powered controller ; the jack design ensures that the wire will simply disconnect if twisted or pulled, and not sustain damage. </blockquote><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Why I chose it: </span><br />
<br />
**I am a clitoral stimulation kinda girl (ok close friends and relatives.. if you stayed.. are you having second thoughts about being here? hahah). I have tried various toys and I know my body and I know what it likes. <br />
<br />
** I liked the INTENSITY LEVEL. The intensity level on this product - or the VROOM level as its called on the site is a 5/5. Which sounded tantalizing to me!<br />
<br />
**I liked the Noise Rating -- The noise level (also known as the "Bee" level on the site was a 2/5). Being that I have a 9 year old just down the hall I wanted something relatively quiet. The product I was using before this was loud and I always worried that I wouldn't hear my little one coming down the hallway late night after possibly being awakened by the incredibly loud buzzing noise coming from his mothers room and consequently I worried even more about the therapy bills that would ensue after such an occurrence! <br />
<br />
** I liked that the wires would unplug themselves if pulled on too hard (my previous toy was damaged in play time by just such an action)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;">Did it live up to my expectations:</span> That my friends is a giant climax of a YES!! Clitoral stimulation left nothing to be desired and I was satisfied on all levels with the different settings available on this toy. I am not completely comfortable using both plug in items at once yet but practice makes perfect right? The intensity level was rated appropriately and I had no issues there. I was completely surprised by how quiet this item was. It does make a small amount of noise but nothing compared to the incessant buzzing of the "other" stimulator that I currently own and I think it was appropriately rated as well. As for the plugs being removable... I still don't think its going to solve the eventual damage problem I get. I tend to damage the item where the wire meets bullet instead of where the wire meets remote. It should be noted that I had a bit of trouble with the battery cover. Sometimes it seemed stuck and I could not get it removed. I actually had to fight with it once and lost . A minor inconvenience for a toy that I otherwise love. I would DEFINITELY recommend this product.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #45818e;">My additional thoughts (cause you know I have some):</div><br />
When I first visited Eden Fantasys I found a lot of items that I wanted were out of stock. Good for them because it means they are selling and popular, not as good for me. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise for 2 reasons. First, I would have never delved far enough into the site to find the AWESOME toy that I did. I would have stopped sooner and missed out on a great item. Second, this allowed me to discover that when you search for items you can "hide" unavailable items by clicking the box marked "Hide out of stock products" conveniently located to the right of the page after your initial search. <br />
<br />
As far as I'm concerned Eden Fantasys should "get in bed" with Duracell cause I have a feeling I am going to be buying a lot more batteries :) <br />
