Hi, my name is Sammi. I have been hosting product reviews and giveaways since my blog was created in December 2009. I feel that I have an edge over other mommy blogs as I am not a mother myself. I have worked with such major brands as Conair, Vicks Vaporub, Omaha Steaks, Little Debbie, Tilex, Glade, Pine-Sol, Keurig, Skinny Cow, Dirt Devil, Black and Decker, Kellogg's, Ziploc, Nabisco, Ocean Spray, M&M's, Fujifilm, 1-800-Flowers, Domino's Pizza, ProFlowers, Audiovox, Frito-Lay, Kraft, Johnson and Johnson, Cuisinart, KitchenAid and Epson among many others. I have experience reviewing many various products including skincare, food, housewares, kitchenwares, electronics, fashion, and more. I am also a product ambassador for Musselmans and Special K.

Restaurant Blog Reviews-I have reviewed CiCi's Pizza, Chick-Fil-A, Brio Italian Grille, Red Robin, Einstein Bagels, and The Melt Shop.

I have reviewed over 800 products since inception and my blog has had over 500,000 page views total. I have a large love for consumer products and enjoy getting the opportunity to review and learn more about them. I generally do not post outright negative reviews, but more of a pro/con list of the product.

Why choose to work with Sammi’s Blog of Life?
If you choose to work with me, I can guarantee that your brand or company will receive wonderful traffic driven directly to your website and social media outlets. I ask my readers to follow your company on Twitter and also “like” you on Facebook. I also encourage my readers to retweet my review/giveaway link so others see it and enter my contest(s). My readers gain extra bonus entries into my contests for doing so. By them doing all of the above, you receive optimum exposure and others learn about your company and what your services or product(s) can offer them. I usually run my giveaways for about a week and a half to two weeks.

I always provide honest opinions that are solely mine on reviews. All I ask is that you provide me with a sample product and any requested information about the product. I will include company information and an image of the product in my review/giveaway.

I appreciate the sponsor also posting about the review on their facebook page, twitter account or blog. If my family members used the product(s), I also include their opinions in my review. I promote my blog reviews on my twitter account, my blog's facebook fan page, and on Online-Sweepstakes.com. Reviews with giveaways are promoted further by entrants tweeting and posting about them for extra entries. I also make sure for each giveaway that for bonus entries, entrants can follow a company on twitter or "like" them on Facebook. I try my best to accomodate a company and gain them a long-term audience.

Timeframe of posting the review/giveaway:
I generally post my review within 3-5 days of receiving product.
