1/2 way through campain update: I started my Crest Whitestrips Renewal mission on the same day that a coworker named Mary Catherine brought home her professional whitening kit from her dentist. About 8 of us have been discussing the colour of our teeth and whitening treatments at work for the past few weeks. When I told them that I was a bzz agent and I signed up for the Crest Whitestrip Renewal campaign and offered the coupons to anyone interested, 3 people immediately asked me for one. My coworkers then put on a sort of bet to see who's teeth would be noticeably whiter after 10 days, and currently we are on day 5 of the challenge. I showed the coworkers the packaging and unwrapped strips and demonstrated how they can be used right there while I was at work (I work afternoons), I still continue to treat my teeth at home in the morning, and while I am working at night. The box of Whitestrips Renewal sit on the shelf in my bathroom, and I have bzzed friends and family that have noticed the box and asked me questions about them. My father in law is so interested, that I am going to use one of my coupons to buy him a box for his birthday. I have used the regular whitestrips in the past with great results, but experienced some tooth sensitivity. This time when using the Crest Renewal strips, I have not noticed any type of discomfort. So far I am happy with the results, but I have noticed that the whiter my teeth have become, the more yellow or discoloured the crown on my front tooth appears. I welcome the dentist appointment that is now necessary, in exchange for my more youthful and brighter smile that is emerging. More to report in 5 days when I am out of my Crest Renewal Whitestrips :) BzzAgent PharmMom

I have tried the Knorr frozen Shrimp Asparagus and Penne, and it was very tasty considering it only took 10 minutes to prepare from freezer to table. The pasta was al dente, and the flavour of the blush sauce combined with the veggies made for a very enjoyable meal for my husband and I. We were both impressed with this meal and we want to try out the other Knorr frozen meals to make a comparison to the quality and taste of each. So far to the friends and family that I have buzzed this product to, 7 out of 10 are familiar with Knorr frozen entrees through the "frozen doesn't have to be a bad word" advertising. 4 out of 10 have tried at least one of them, and intend on trying another meal, and one friend mentioned that a Knorr Frozen entree is a weekly grocery purchase for her and her husband to enjoy after a long day of work.
