My husband has an aversion to the majority of foods that are found growing in nature.

Except oranges.

As long as they are in juice form.

And only Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice.

Which makes it a damn good thing that Tropicana chose me to be a Juicy Insider because any other juice triggers his gag reflex.

And it’s not pretty.

In the coming months, I’m going to show you exactly how the Tropicana Juicy Rewards program works, but it doesn’t get much more complicated than this…

• drink Tropicana Pure Premium OJ
• redeem points
• get big bucks off local museums, attractions, and activities
• have bushels of family fun

More juicy info to come my little cuties!

I wrote this review while participating in the Tropicana Juicy Insiders Ambassador program by Mom Central on behalf of Tropicana. I received 12 free Juicy Rewards points and a $50 Visa gift card to use in redemption of the points and to facilitate my review. Please see my site policy if you have any questions.

Even though I do shop, I don’t like to shop. I don’t browse. I don’t window shop. I don’t ever take a leisurely stroll through the local mall.

I buy as much as I can online. When I’m forced to go into a store, I know what I want, I buy it, and I get the hell out.

Which is why I’m convinced that the universe has a cruel sense of humor because when I have absolutely no money is precisely the time that I want to shop.

Not only do I want to shop, I’m utterly convinced that I can’t live without everything I see.

[My 30th birthday is quickly approaching. All of the items below are approved and acceptable gifts. In case you were wondering. Which I know you aren't. But hope you are.]

I could not even get lucky enough for any of these companies to send me any of these products in my time of need, so don’t even consider for a second that this is a sponsored post.

Congratulations to our winner…Cady!

I know breakfast is good for me, but do I ever actually eat breakfast? No.

I blame my personal chef. He never shows up.

Oh well. I didn’t need him this morning anyway. I made myself a Yoplait Frozen Smoothie – full of fresh fruit and creamy yogurt. Just add a splash of milk and blend.

Even I can do that.

At 110 calories per serving and with flavors like strawberry banana, strawberry mango pineapple, and triple berry – I know Yoplait Frozen Smoothies are good for me.

If your personal chef has a bad habit of not showing up in the morning, here’s how to WIN a VIP coupon for a free package of Yoplait Frozen Smoothies plus a fabulous smoothie blender…

Like millions of others, I have an addiction.

I admit that I am powerless and that my life has become unmanageable. I’ve become fixated on obtaining my drug of choice.

Specifically between the hours of 2 and 4pm.

I’m not proud of being caught searching the couches for loose change to sustain my habit. I’m ashamed that I’ve involved my husband and Twitter friends in the desperation and despair associated with my illness.

I’m addicted to half priced Sonic Cranberry Limeades.

In other news, I have the healthiest urinary tract in Central Texas!

I miss living in Indianapolis. Great shopping, walking to work, and McCormick & Schmick’s right across the street. I could see the restaurant from my apartment window and it quickly became a regular haunt – iceberg wedge salad, please!
