Earn FREE Rewards with CRYSTAL LIGHT #CrystalLightWM #mc #sponsored #RanFan

I love companies who offer rewards without having you pay extra for their product. How about you? I refuse to purchase our movie theater's reward card even though it is just $1 a month. Why? Because I'm already spending $10 to watch a movie and maybe $10 for popcorn and a small drink. So when a company offers a free reward card based on what is purchased, I will always sign up for it. I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central for CRYSTAL LIGHT. I received a gift card to purchase CRYSTAL LIGHT products to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.



With saying this, I just found out about CRYSTAL LIGHT and the launch of their Platinum Points Program. They partnered with Miranda Lambert to reward customers with fun Miranda Lambert gear which includes a guitar! This program is also a kick off of her Platinum Tour Presented by CRYSTAL LIGHT. 


This reward program is so easy to use! All you need to do is purchase CRYSTAL LIGHT products at Walmart, snap a photo of your receipt and upload to their website. Once you do that you are reward with points and can choose from a variety of Miranda Lamber rewards like song downloads, t-shirts, CDs and even a signed guitar.

During one of my many shopping trips to Walmart, I cruised down the drink aisle and checked out all of the new CRYSTAL LIGHT flavors. I remember when this company just had lemonade. A few of our favorite flavors are Raspberry Green Tea, Mango Passionfruit and Blackberry Lemonade. They now sell the liquid drink mix which allows you to toss a container in a bag and then squirt it in your water no matter where you are. So easy, convenient and saves money buying expensive drinks away from home. I love squirting some of the favors in with my protein shakes to kick up the flavor. What is your favorite CRYSTAL LIGHT flavor? If you hop on over to the CRYSTAL LIGHT website you can get new recipes including the "Randarita" cocktail inspired by Miranda Lambert.

Take advantage of this free rewards program! It is super quick to sign up. Just buy CRYSTAL LIGHT as you normally do and then sign up for the CRYSTAL LIGHT and Miranda Lambert Platinum Points Program. Once you sign up snap a photo of your receipt. Then go to the above link, log in and upload your photo. Then you can redeem or bank your rewards points for later. I'm banking my points to try and get the signed guitar for my daughter who is a musician. Being a mom of teens, they are well aware of the amazing Miranda Lambert. They do their best to keep me updated on all the new musicians. I personally will be using some of the points to get new music for myself! 

If you go sign up now, you can use this FREE PROMO CODE, "mirandaic" to get 30 extra Platinum Points. Share this with your friends & family, too!

Les Miles COMBAT 60 Day Challenge {Early New Years Resolutions}

Who is ready to kick up their exercise routine to a whole new level? Do not wait until January 1st to make new resolutions. Make them today! IF you already exercise then consider stepping up and taking on a more intense workout routine. 
One way to kick up your routine is to try LES MILLS COMBAT. It is the first home-based Mixed Martial Arts inspired workout program combining a perfect blend of dynamic movements from six major Martial Arts disciplines. COMBAT includes high-intensity cardio and conditioning moves for the kind of muscle-shredding, calorie-burning workout that creates extreme body transformation. In just 60 days you'll look and feel like a lean, mean Mixed Martial Arts warrior.  


Did you read that? in just 60 days you can look and feel like a lean, mean MMA warrior! So by Christmas and heading into the New Year you could already be working out at your full potential.

Who should buy the program?

COMBAT is a program best suited for those who are already somewhat fit. There are modifier moves that lessen the impact, but the moves are intense with or without modification. Since COMBAT moves are synched to the beat of the music, it also appeals most to those who are comfortable with light choreography. There are no complicated dance moves, so both men and women equally enjoy punching and kicking to the beat of hit music.

  1. Who should do this program?
    • Men and women who are inspired by mixed martial arts.
    • Those at a beginning fitness level looking to enjoy fun, energetic moves that ramp up their cardio,
      burn off their fat, and lean out their muscles.
    • Moderately athletic people who wish to take their bodies to the next level.
    • Extremely fit people who want to power beyond their limits, burn away their last few pounds, and get
      totally shredded in 60 days. 
HERE IS THE VIDEO!


If you are ready to take on this 60 Day Challenge consider the below opportunity. I am a BeachBody Coach and have a few of the below offers available. Message me at cafescrapper@gmail.com for more information or leave a comment below! 

Breaking news from my Upline Coach - This awesome kickboxing program, Combat, just went on sale. $140 for the Challenge Pack (fitness program and 30 days of Shakeology). BUT this week if you sign up as a coach (even if you do it for just the discount) I will get you $40 cash back so you will only pay $100 for the fitness program, 30 days of Shakeology and a business start up kit/websites, etc. This is the time to get started. In 2 months we will be slammed with New Years Resolution people. Get started now!

*So if you were thinking of getting a month supply of Shakeology this is like getting the exercise program free plus a huge discount. This doesn't happen very often and won't last.

If you do not want to sign up for a coach but ready to try out this program do message me because it is on sale for just a short time. If you are fairly new to exercise or want to get started, COMBAT might not be for you. 

I can help you find the best program to get you started today! Don't wait until you feel over stuffed like Tom the Turkey or a Can't Fit Down the Chimney Santa to get moving and make some new healthier resolutions today. I can help you get on track and meet your new goals or resolutions! 

Here are my current free challenge groups.

Help Your Teen with Good Contact Eye Care #mc #sponsored

Did you know that contact lens are considered a medical device? In the United States all contact lenses require a prescription, which I did not know. A lot of teens are using designer contact to change their eye color or pattern of their eyes especially for Halloween. These decorative type of contact lens are purchased without a prescription but should be treated and cared for just the same as the prescription contact lenses. I wrote this review while participating in an Influencer campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. and received a promotional item from Mom Central to thank me for participating.

It is so important for the safety of the teen that good hygiene is used year round for their contact eye care. Here are some tips to make sure that they do from the beginning to establish good habit even when they stay from prescription to non prescription lenses. We have made sure these tips are followed by the teens. 





Contact Eye Care Tips for Teens

  • Only use contacts prescribed from your eye care professional (click for more information)
  • Wash hands before and after taking out and inserting in contacts
  • Follow the wearing and contact replacement schedule on the prescription
  • Follow proper lens care, solution use and disinfecting routine as prescribe by health care professionals
  • Don't let others wear or handle your contacts
  • Properly clean and disinfect contacts when contact drops on the floor, on counter,etc
  • Put contacts in before adding on face makeup 
  • Remove lenses immediately if you experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, and redness of the eye or other problems and promptly contact eye care professional
  • Only use recommended lubricants for eye care
  • Get even more contact eye care tips here!

Please make sure your teen is using proper contact eye care. Anything else could permanently damage their eyes. Remind your teen that any contacts purchased over the counter that isn't properly fitted by eye care professional can damage the eyes. If they do wear them, make sure that they are using proper eye contact care.

Each piece of clothing is made of viscose from bamboo, is hypoallergenic, and keeps you 3 degrees cooler than cotton. Cariloha's men's and women's wear also keeps you cooler than cotton. The accessories Cariloha carries are unbelievable! Here are just some of what that line carries: Handbags, Scarves, Headbands, Belts, Sandals and more! I want to try so many of their products and their flip-flops are just so cute and cozy looking.
