Better Breakfast Party by Tryazon.com

This weekend I had the fun opportunity to host a party by www.Tryazon.com (#tryazon) called Better Breakfast.  I was introduced to this company on another blog and thought I would give it a try. :) Basically you apply to host a party on a specific product that they are featuring on a specific weekend and if you're selected you get to do it. They send you everything that need!  All  you have to do is invite the people, take a few pictures during the party, write a review and answer some post survey questions!

So I gave it a try...I applied and was selected for the Better Breakfast Party which was featuring Umpqua Oats and Coffig

Here's the box that came in the mail 

All the goodies inside

So I sent out the invitations. Less then half the people were able to come but we went on with the party any ways. (You are asked to have at least 5 people at the party but at the last minute 2 people couldn't come.)

I have to say I was nervous at first because I'm not the most up front person and I tried to make it very clear to the guest that I wasn't selling anything I was just giving them an opportunity to try out some different products for free.  If they liked them and wanted to go out and buy them that was their choice.  There wasn't any pressure from anyone to do so.

Tryazon (#tryazon) sends a host guide and all the information that you as the host need to share with the guest about the products that they will be sampling. So all I had to do was set it up and share the information

Getting a set-up. They even sent sampling cups & spoons.

I have to admit I really enjoyed reading and learning about the products and their history and sharing with the party guests.

Umpqua Oats was actually started by two mom's that wanted to make a more healthy alternative oatmeal to the instant packets.  We were given 3 different kinds to sample (Kick Start, Mostly Sunny, & Jackpot) and all were really yummy but I think the group's favorite was the Mostly Sunny.  Mostly Sunny had Granny Smith apples, cranberries and raisins.  Everyone really enjoyed the samples of oatmeal including the 10 month old, 11 month old, 12 month old, and 4 & 5 year olds.  I think all the mom's were happy to see that.  One of the mom's mentioned that she'd like to get some for quick Sunday Morning Breakfast.

Mostly Sunny is the middle one.

Now the Coffig is a coffee alternative made out of dry roasted figs.  You can drink it either hot or cold.  It's caffeine-free, gluten free and said to not cause heartburn. The reviews from the guests were mixed. I think it is a great alternative to have especially when nursing a baby.  One can add cream and sugar just like you would to coffee.  My DH who wasn't a part of the party but came in and sampled later enjoyed the hot version but then the cold.  He'd have it again.

Overall I really enjoyed hosting this party.  I think it would be fun to host another party through Tryazon (#tryazon).
