Special K Fiber Cereal and Snack Bars **Giveaway!!**

We were contacted by BzzAgent.com and asked to do a review of Special K Fiber cereal and snack bars as part of a campaign with Kellogg.

We received a (free) box of Special K Protein cereal in Cinnamon Brown Sugar Crunch flavor and a box of the Chewy Nut Bars in Chocolate Almond flavor.

The shapes and smell of the cereal reminded me of Captain Crunch cereal and we all really enjoyed the taste.  It was sort of like a lighter version of Cinnamon Captain Crunch.
I had it for breakfast this morning and definitely enjoyed it.  I was satisfied after eating it and I would say it kept me fuller a little longer than my usual bagel.





The first thing I noticed about the bars was how light the box was.  It included 5 bars that did seem to run a little on the small side but were very tasty.  They are very filling and we noticed that the flavors dont run together.  You can taste each flavor separately.  Beau thinks they taste like a cross between a Snickers and Take5 bar.  I liked how they are easy to eat unlike Nature Valley bars that are rock hard.  They aren't gooey but the chocolate does melt very quickly so it will get all over your fingers if you take it out of the wrapper to eat it.  I wouldnt recommend keeping them somewhere that they could get hot either.

Secret Outlast Clear Gel Deodorant

I (Claire) was contacted by BzzAgent.com and they asked me to participate in a campaign to test and review Secret Outlast Clear Gel antiperspirant and deodorant and they sent me a travel size stick to try.

My first impression of the stick was that the product appears to be a bit gooey and oozy.  The manufacturers put a sticker over the top of the stick, under the cap, to keep the gel inside until you are ready to use it.



The first few times I used it, a good amount came out with each click.  After that, too much came out per click.  I've ended up having to try to use about half of what comes out on one side then the rest on the other.  Otherwise its very wet and sticky and I have to give it a few minutes to dry before I put my shirt on.

It does seem to work very well so far.  I shower every day so I'm not sure how well it wears as it says it offers 48 hour protection.  I like that its clear and stays clear.  I can wear a tank top without having any marks on my underarms and I haven't noticed any marks on any of my shirts either.  I also like the scent.  It isn't overpowering and is a nice, clean smell.

What I don't like is the amount that comes out per click and how wet it is when you put it on.  I also noticed that the sides of the tube do have a little bit of give to them.  I have had issues with gel deodorant in full size tubes leaking if they get pushed on like in a gym bag or a suitcase.  I would also be concerned about it leaking if it got too hot.  I have not traveled with this tube yet but I will definitely be putting it in a zip top bag when I do.  Also my regular deodorant has other benefits like moisturizers and helps sooth irritation from shaving but this one does not.

I would defiantly buy this product to use when I wear a sleeveless top but I don't think I would use it every day.  I think I will stick with my Dove Go Sleeveless stick for day to day.

Comcast Xfinity Internet Service

We switched to Comcast for our internet service in April of this year after we got fed up with our other provider HughesNet.  We use Direct TV for our cable and have only cell phones.
Our initial phone call with their sales department was fine.  We told them exactly what we wanted and they got us set up fairly easy.  We chose the option to buy our own modem and router rather than rent one from them as it was cheaper over the long term.  The do it yourself install was fairly easy.  They sent us a form with instructions and our unique code.  We set everything up then called the automatic setup line and entered the code from the form and we had internet within about 5 minutes.

They had told us that we would receive the first bill from them within a month with instructions on how to set up automatic bill pay and our online account.  I assumed it would show up as they said but I eventually noticed that it had been over a month and I had not seen it so I got onto the online chat to see what the issue was.

This first chat session was a mess.  The agent did not speak English very well and could not understand my issue.  She seemed to think that all I wanted to do was set up my online account but did not understand what I was talking about when I said we never got a bill.  I finally just gave up and had her set us up with an online account.  That way I had an account number and I could set up the bill for automatic payment so whenever it did kick in, it would pay on time.

Another month went by and I noticed that we had still not gotten a bill or been charged for the 2 months of service so I again tried the chat line to see what the issue was.  Again the agent had no idea what I was talking about.  I ended up just telling her that I had not gotten my bill and could she resend it.  She said we would have it by the end of the week.  Nothing.
So this time I decided to just call the 1800 number and speak to someone.  It took me explaining my issue to several different people before I was able to find someone who was able to help me.  The 2nd person I spoke to was astounded that this had happened and said that I probably could have just left it as is and gotten several months of free service.  She said their system would have turned it off automatically at some point.  She said basically what had happened was our account was never completely activated.  Our internet service had been but the system had never pushed the account through as an active account so it was still listed as pending.  Like it was still waiting for us to call and activate it with the code we received earlier.  She couldn't fix it from her system but she transferred me to a sales person who ended up just setting us up with a new account number.  It took me almost an hour on the phone to get everything figured out.

Overall I spent a little over 2 hours total between the chats and on the phone just to pay the bill.  It was almost like they didn't want to be paid for the service.  Next time this happens I think I'll just enjoy the free internet until the service turns of then just call and set up a new account.

So far the service is just fine and we are paying what we were quoted every month.  We will continue to post any updates as we go along.
