Although most of the time our Sunshine Rewards Videoblog videos are about merchants and shopping, every now and again we come across a video that is about something totally different but fits perfectly. That is definitely the case with this short video about Greenfield Online.

Sunshine Rewards offers the opportunity to take Greenfield surveys daily through us in return for SR credits. It’s a great way to build up your SR account. But do you ever stop to take the time to think about the bigger picture of giving your opinion during surveys? You have the chance to shape new products, entertainment, and media.

The video below does a great job of describing the importance of your participation in these surveys. And don’t forget that at Sunshine Rewards you will earn every day when you complete a Greenfield Daily Survey plus be entered into our daily Second Chance Survey Sweeps just for trying.

Last month I saw an advertisement for Jelly Belly BeanBoozled jelly beans. They were selling them in particular for April Fools Day. Because my daughter and I have been reading the Harry Potter books (Bertie Botts Every Flavored Beans, anyone?), I decided to order a couple of boxes for the kids.

On April Fools morning, I asked the girls if they wanted some jelly beans with their breakfast. Of course they jumped at the chance for candy! But as they started eating them, they realized that the joke was on them. Every color of BeanBoozled jelly bean can be one of two flavors–delicious or gross. You may get Buttered Popcorn, or it may be Rotten Eggs. You might get lucky with Peach or not so lucky with Vomit. The list goes on and on.

The girls got such a kick out of it that they wanted to make a video of their taste test as soon as they got home from school. Notice that even though Jillian says how gross they are, she keeps eating them! You can also see from the other assortment of bags on the table that we love our Jelly Belly… especially the bulk bags of HodgePodge that you can get for about $3.00 a pound!

Check out the video and check out all of our Jelly Belly coupons and cash back at Sunshine Rewards.

After my horse, Scatman, passed away I received a beautiful bracelet from one of my co-workers. She purchased the heart bracelet from Things Remembered and had it inscribed with “In My Heart Forever” on one side and “Scatman” on the other. I haven’t stopped wearing it since the day that I got it and thought that you might like to see it. It’s a special piece of jewelry to celebrate a special life.

Things Remembered is a great place to buy gifts that will celebrate a life, an occasion, or a memory. With the Things Remembered coupons and cash back from Sunshine Rewards, you will be giving a gift that is affordable yet memorable. Check them out for wedding gifts, anniversary gifts, and all of the other moments in your life that you want to remember. Here’s a look at my special gift from Things Remembered.

Although our last podcast was all about food, we couldn’t help but mention some of our favorite treats in preparation for Easter. Easter falls on April 12 this year, which is just under two weeks away.

Show Notes:

* Cindy takes over hosting today because Tricia is under the weather and on mute most of the time.
  * Discussion about various Easter traditions. If you have kids in the room, you may not want them to hear this part. We talk just a bit about the differences between Easter baskets for young kids and making Easter baskets for older kids.
  * Angie talks about food from Hickory Farms, including their hams and dinner packages. Cindy is a true Hickory Farms addict and eats their cheese just about every day for lunch. (Current Hickory Farms coupon for $10 off Easter Hams)
  * Cindy leads a discussion about 1-800-Flowers. Whether you are looking for flowers, plants, or baskets for Easter, you will find something in your price range at 1-800-Flowers. (1-800-Flowers coupons for 15% off birthday flowers)
  * Tricia coughs her way through a description of Jelly Belly. Have you heard of BeanBoozleds? They are similar to Bertie Botts Every Flavored Beans from Harry Potter. Angie and Tricia talk about the big bag of Hodgepodge that they attacked when it came. (Jelly Belly coupons for an Easter Carrot Bag and free shipping)
  * Well wishes for upcoming Spring Break plans. Tricia heads to Disney

Happy Easter!! And be sure to check out all of our Sunshine Rewards Easter merchants.

We’re always looking for videos to add to our Sunshine Rewards Videoblog that demonstrate to you how to use products available through our merchants. I just came across a video from Smashbox and Beauty.com that I love! It shows how to use three colors of eyeshadow, a little eyeliner, and mascara to create a natural, everyday look. The products used in the video are:

Eye Shadow in Vanilla
Eye Shadow in Champagne
Eye Shadow in Nude
Jet Set Dark Brown Eyeliner
Bioic Mascara

What I love about this look is that it doesn’t look too “made up.” You could go with a gloss lipstick during the day or add a darker color for night.

Be sure to look for Beauty.com coupons and discounts because they are great about running gifts with purchase as well as free shipping opportunities.
