First of all, there is a part of me that is very glad that I did what I did. However, there is a part of me that wonders if I was wrong because Eden is so generous with us.

I had $100 in gift cards for some writing I've submitted for the EdenLitBlog and the Eden Cafe. I was going to save them for Black Friday but yesterday I made advanced reviewer status and wanted desperately to get SOMETHING for myself.

I started reading about the video reviews and at one point in time I read where they were trying to get people to do video reviews on some of the toys that are lower "price-points" - aka under $25. Many people want to review the more expensive toys but not the less expensive ones.

So I sorted my favorite category (vibrators) by things that I like in a vibrator and made a list of the less expensive ones that I thought it might be fun to try. I contacted the video review person and asked for permission to do video reviews on those products (before sending in the order) and once she said she could take a video review on each of them - I placed my order using my gift cards and points.

So basically, I used my gift cards and about $9 in points to do buy-outs on some assignments so that I could turn around and reviews AND video reviews and earn more points and gift cards for the Black Friday sale.

I will say that I only chose things that I thought I'd be interested in and I thought if I did some reviews and video reviews it might help EF sales during the holiday season as sometimes people are looking for less expensive gifts as stocking stuffers, etc.

But now I feel guilty - and I don't know why.

I do know that when my package gets here we'll be having lots of fun!

Oh - and I also got permission to do some video reviews on the reviews I've already written! YEAH!!!!
