Garnier Olia Hair Coloring & Life with Gracie

In an earlier post I mentioned that I was trying Garnier Olia hair coloring through BZZ Agent. I told you how much I loved the rich color & how much it looked professional but did I mention the shine or how much it could rival the salon coloring? You will have to try this for your self & experience the rich colors & shine to understand what I am saying. You may give up your salon coloring! (Seriously!) (OK, the photo is not one of my best for face, but look at the color & the shine of my hair! That's all that matters for this post) This hair coloring could have cost $30.00 at a salon! At least that much!<img src="https://img.bzzagent.com/image/olia.jpg?Type=activity&Activity=4071602637&Campaign=8240009424&Uid=1229577&token=b8a010c04bc2be35a69e6e7c71712a08" alt=""/>

Other than the awesome Olia, we are still hanging in there with Gracie the now 4 & 1/2 month old German Shepherd puppy. Being major cat people, this has been an adventure to say the least! I have shared the frustrations of her chasing our boys (4 adult male cats), which they HATE!! We have been taking her to puppy training once a week. The other puppies are 6 months & 8 months (2) & Gracie has surpassed them all to the point where the class has had two extra days to catch up to Gracie's level! Can you believe that? OK, she performs magnificently in class, but there are times at home that we are at a loss of what to do! All in all I think we chose the right dog for us, very smart & hopefully a great protector. It has been almost 3 months since we adopted her. We love her dearly & are hoping someday that the cats & Gracie can all live together happily without sounding like a hissing convention.

Life on 3/13/2013

Today was a "stay home & get things done" kind of day. Owen took off the carpeting from our stairway; he had painted the stairway last weekend & the roller pole snapped, the roller landed on many stairs. The carpeting on the stairs was an off white. The new paint is a lime green, enough said! We purchased new carpeting & pad & have an installer coming on Tuesday. Carpeting is a difficult project so we have decided to hire someone to get it done fast & properly installed.
I have been trying out a few more BzzAgent campaigns. One of which is a hair coloring kit from Garnier called Olia. I LOVE the Garnier Olia! It is just as wonderful as I had imagined! The shine is amazing, probably the best shine I have had from a home color kit. And the color is so natural looking. Olia is an oil based hair coloring, so it is not drying or damaging. There was no horrible smell like some coloring kits have. All in all I was very pleased with the results! I highly recommend this product!
The other product I sampled through BzzAgent is Cafe Escapes K-cups coffee for the Keurig. The flavors were Milk & Dark Hot Cocoa, Cafe Vanilla, Cafe Caramel, Cafe Mocha & Chai Latte. I loved the flavors, they were all unique in their own ways. The Dark Hot Cocoa & the Cafe Mocha had similar flavors, but a slight difference. I think I liked the Cafe Caramel the most of all the flavors. BUT, for me all of the flavors were very sweet, which I am sure is great for most people, but I just do not like to have too much sweetness. That being said, most people I have spoken with have enjoyed them & did not find them too sweet.<img src="https://img.bzzagent.com/image/cafeEscapes.jpg?Type=activity&Activity=5454718464&Campaign=9622084068&Uid=1229577&token=cf9023549bb890429a5d15fa5abb857b" alt=""/>
