Received My First Free Product Two Days Ago!

Today, I got a box from Amazon.  Since I have Prime, I didn't even have to pay shipping. Sweet!

The first product is an herbal supplement.  Garcina Cambogia.  Now, this has been in the media as the hot new weight loss pill/appetite suppressant.  I won't pay to try things like that because a lot of it is junk.  When it's free, I'll try almost anything! haha

So, as of this posting, I don't feel any different on these pills. I feel no difference in my appetite (as I nibble on candy corn).  I am not a huge fan of the idea that you have to take 6 of these pills a day. That seems like a lot to me.

Now, with any of these herbal things, it's all at your own risk, because it's not approved by the FDA. Also, there's no real studies to rely on.  It may work great for one person, or for another, it might do nothing.

So far, I've been disappointed.  No big deal, I didn't pay for it, so I don't feel like I'm out anything for my trouble.  I'll give it a couple more days and see how it goes.  Maybe it takes a while to see results. Surely someone must be seeing something positive from it or it wouldn't be so popular, right?

The product I tried is available here.  Garcinia Cambogia  It should open in a different window.  The image below is of the product I received.

Disclaimer stuff:  Nothing I have written is sponsored or approved by Amazon.  Any thoughts or opinions are my own. Amazon is simply the merchant it was obtained from.  I did receive this product for free, with the only requirement being I gave a product review.  I am under no obligation to give a positive review.

Starting Out Reviewing.

First, the legal stuff:  Let me start by saying that this blog is not sponsored by Amazon.com.  Any opinions I express here are mine, and mine alone.  In some cases, I have received free or discounted products in exchange for agreeing to leave a product review.  I have no obligation to provide a positive review.

Now that that's out of the way, here I go!

Once upon a time, I worked for a large online retailer.  I had a customer call in once and she said that she hadn't received her item yet.  When I looked at her account, I noticed all of her orders were either $0.00 or very low priced.  I asked her how this was possible and she told me that she was a product reviewer.  I said that I needed to get on something like that, and she told me how to get started.  I did some googling and found some other sites also.

I registered on several.  Some claimed to have a lot of items to review, but were out of stock.  So far, I'm a fan of two of them. I'll be providing links once I see how they work out.  I don't want to post anything that's not useful.

So, that's what this is about.  Yes, I will probaly have a disclaimer on each post, or every few posts, because I don't want to get sued.  Amazon does NOT sponsor any of this.  I do not work for Amazon. The products are purchased off of their site with discount codes that the seller provides.  I will not give reviews that are positive unless I feel like I've had a good result.  We aren't required to lie.

I've requested my first few items.  Let's see how it goes.
