As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’m a member of She Speaks, where every once in a while I get to test products, and give my opinions on them.

Well, just a few days ago I got an email from She Speaks offering me the chance to watch a Food Network TV Show (my choice of either an episode of Ask Aida or Cooking for Real). For watching it and filling out a survey, I was able to choose to get a free Food Network Book!

They also had this great offer, which I’ll share with everyone here:

Receive a FREE Rachael Ray 3-Pack DVD with any purchase over $50 at the Food Network Store. Enter coupon code C98278 at checkout. Offer expires 9/15/08.

I thought that was a pretty good deal if you plan on buying anything at the Food Network store in the next few weeks!

I enjoy being a part of research panels like this, since I get to learn about things I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. I had never seen Cooking for Real before, and I really enjoyed it! Plus, we all know that by cooking at home, you’ll save more money than by going out to eat…and when you find a new recipe to try, it makes it easier for you to want to stay home!

SheSpeaks is a company where women can test new products and have an input into what these products become.

Basically, this is how it works. Every so often if you fit a certain profile (different products have different suggested audiences) you’ll get an email asking if you would like to test the product. If you do, they’ll send you the product (for free of course). You get to try the product and keep it. You then report back to them telling them what you liked, as well as what you didn’t like. If you have any suggestions on how it could be better, you let them know that as well.

They also have a forum with other people who like yourself are also testing the product. There you are able to talk about the product as well. They will even sometimes give you coupons that you can give to your friends.

Last week I got a product in the mail to test, so I was really excited. They sent me the EOS Shaving Cream in Island Blue. They have 3 different fragrances: Pomegranate Raspberry, Vanilla Bliss, and Island Blue. They asked which I would prefer to test, and I chose the Island Blue.

I have had the chance to try it a few times, and I really like it. The scent definitely has an “island” type smell, although I can’t really pinpoint what the scent is. I really like it though, and that’s what matters. I also really like the can it came in. It has a pump you press to get it out, which makes it very easy to use with just one hand.

It also came with a bunch of coupons, and while I’ll happily give some to friends, I have to admit I’ll keep a few for myself! I know that it’s sold at Target, as well as online at Drugstore.com.

If it wasn’t for SheSpeaks, I would never have tried it, so I’m glad I got to test the product, and give them my feedback.
