I adore BzzAgent. What other way can you try new stuff for free?
The latest of my lucky BzzCampaigns is the Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles for Women.
I honestly didn't even know these existed before this campaign. I travel a lot (see my other blog) and think they will be perfect for me. While I haven't put them in for a long walk yet (saving them for the perfect trip), I have squeezed the gel insoles quite a bit and put them in my shoes. They didn't work with one of the pairs of my shoes - you could see the insole, but they work great with closed toe shoes.
They really do feel as though they will deliver on the package's promises of:
gel waves massage foot's most sensitive areas
ultra soft blue gel waves provide superior shock absorption
firmer dark blue gel provides added support
And, Dr. Scholl's even offers a money back guarantee if you don't love the product.
I was needing something that offered more support on the balls of my feet for the hiking boots I own. I went looking for other Dr. Scholl's products for women at the local Target. I was able to find Dr. Scholl's for Her Ball of Foot cushions. While not made of the same smooshy blue gel, they do seem like they will be comfortable. I have some $5 off coupons if you are interested.
I love reading. I just do. Imagine my utter delight when my latest BzzAgent campaign was to get to read two books for free.
The Hangman's Daughter and The Dark Monk were both written by Oliver Pötzsch. I've got them downloaded and ready to read on my upcoming trip to Scotland. The Dark Monk doesn't even get released until June 12th! You can buy The Hangman's Daughter now.
As I spoke with a librarian friend about BzzAgent and these books, she quickly did a search on her GoodReads account and found a friend who'd read and strongly recommended The Hangman's Daughter.
Synopsis from Amazon.com of The Hangman's Daughter:
"Germany, 1660: When a dying boy is pulled from the river with a mark crudely tattooed on his shoulder, hangman Jakob Kuisl is called upon to investigate whether witchcraft is at play. So begins The Hangman's Daughter--the chillingly detailed, fast-paced historical thriller from German television screenwriter, Oliver Pötzsch--a descendent of the Kuisls, a famous Bavarian executioner clan."
Synopsis from Amazon.com of The Dark Monk:
"1660: Winter has settled thick over a sleepy village in the Bavarian Alps, ensuring every farmer and servant is indoors the night a parish priest discovers he's been poisoned. As numbness creeps up his body, he summons the last of his strength to scratch a cryptic sign in the frost.
Following a trail of riddles, hangman Jakob Kuisl; his headstrong daughter Magdalena; and the town physician’s son team up with the priest’s aristocratic sister to investigate. What they uncover will lead them back to the Crusades, unlocking a troubled history of internal church politics and sending them on a chase for a treasure of the Knights Templar.
But they’re not the only ones after the legendary fortune. A team of dangerous and mysterious monks is always close behind, tracking their every move, speaking Latin in the shadows, giving off a strange, intoxicating scent. And to throw the hangman off their trail, they have ensured he is tasked with capturing a band of thieves roving the countryside attacking solitary travelers and spreading panic.
Delivering on the promise of his international best seller The Hangman’s Daughter, Oliver Pötzsch takes us on a whirlwind tour--once again based on prodigious historical research into his own family tree--through the occult hiding places of Bavaria’s ancient monasteries, bringing to life an unforgettable compassionate hangman and his tenacious daughter, painting a robust tableau of a 17th-century Bavaria still negotiating the lasting impacts of war, and quickening our pulses with a gripping, mesmerizing mystery."
