December freebie - Boursin cheese!

What's better than a great holiday party, with fun, friends, and FOOD!  Of all the things on the snack table, a good cheese plate is one of my faves.  Boursin cheese is always a fave.

My pals at Smiley360 sent me a coupon for a free round of Boursin, just in time for Christmas.  Though it was meant for a cheese tray set-up, I couldn't wait and broke into it for a few snitches and to use as a spread on our chicken burgers one night.  SO YUMMY!  It gives a nice herby taste with a rich, creamy, cheesy base.  Can't beat it! I bought the traditional herb version, but was also debating the shallot version - will have to go back and try it!

Thanks again to Smiley360, who gives me chances to try out cool things in exchange for my unique, uncompensated opinion.  Happy holidays!!!

Softy Scotties

Hey all!  Latest freebie from Smiley360 was a box of Scotties tissues.  I always thought of them as thin and rough and usually only bought them to foist upon my tissue-wasting students!

Box had kittens on it.  White kittens.  Yes. Really.  But I digress (though to quote the mom from Everyone Loves Raymond, the design on the tissue boxes are a major part of a room's decor!)

Ok, ignore the kittens.  These tissues were soft, even softer that regular Kleenex.

And they were strong.  No going through, no soggy hand (blech!).  They hold up in my purse without getting shredded after a few days!

All in all, assuming I can find a non-kitten centered theme on their boxes, I WILL buy them again because of the quality.
