Do you Crowdtap?

You're probably sitting there thinking..."what is Crowdtap?" Well, sit tight, cause I'm about to tell you!

A few months ago my friend Katie (you can see her cute blog here,) got some really sweet PUMA workout clothes...for FREE. I obviously was curious as to how she did this, so I asked her. She told me she was a part of this group called Crowdtap, basically it was a website that asked for your opinion on products. Hmm... sounded interesting to me. So I checked it out & joined.

It took me a little bit to figure out how the website worked, but once I got the hang of things I started to select brands I was interested in (which wasn't hard because they have a million different brands that participate on their site) and answered simple questions with my honest opinion. Before I knew it, I got an email that said I was selected to host a Hidden Valley Ranchers Party.

Me? A host a party? A ranch party?

(I love parties, I love ranch...this was perfect)

I was in.

Crowdtap & Hidden Valley sent me a kit that was filled with all sorts of goodies!

 A t-shirt, full size bottle of ranch, some dressing mixes, samples for all my guests, and a flyer with recipes and coupons! Who doesn't love coupons??

I hosted the party last night (12/17/13) and in my opinion, it was a huge success! I had a few of my friends over for some food, fun and girl talk. I asked everyone to bring copies of their favorite ranch inspired recipe, so everyone left with a few new recipes to try out for their families. I also invited them to make the recipe if they wanted to be entered into a drawing for a prize. 

Carrie (she blogs over here) was the winner of the prize which included:

A bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch, Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix, Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix, Hidden Valley Salad Crispins, and a Hidden Valley recipe/spoon holder.

Thank you to Crowdtap and Hidden Valley for giving me this opportunity!

It was such a fun excuse to get together with my friends and have a girls night!!
