Like most people, I love to travel. That's one of the things that I love about my job, because I get to fly to various cities, see new places, and meet new people. I have actually traveled 12 out of the past 18 weeks.
In my personal life, I have been fortunate enough to have traveled quite extensively. Experiencing around 40 countries, everything from Egypt to Colombia. I actually just got back from a Costa Rica Trip last night!
One thing is for certain, flying today was nothing like the old days. Now you have to pay to check your luggage, ear phones, and even blankets. The blanket thing is always a problem since airplanes are always freezing.
I recently launched a campaign for Cabin Cuddler on SocialSpark. They were kind enough to send over 26 samples, 25 for bloggers and one for the IZEA team.
This has REALLY come in handy lately with all my travels. When I am in the office I often have to share it with Veronique, as our new space feels like a meat locker.
What I like most about it is that the blanket covers your feet and wraps around your body in such a way they you can still be productive at typing and using your hands.
I can tell you from experience that it is perfect for the frequent traveler and the freezing office.

I think the cabin cuddlers are amazing and there are plenty of other uses besides the refrigerator office and the airplane. I wrote about on my blog, but I just this second realized it would be perfect for significant others who have a pregnant wife. Pregnant gals get really warm and usually have the A/C up a bit too cool (guilty!) and instead of complaining, the SO could just wrap up in the cabin cuddler and give the pregnant wife a bit of relief. Just a thought.

These things look adorable! I'd love to use one to cuddle up with when I'm working on my laptop late at night and get cold, lol.

Too bad, it's only for USA bloggers. I got the email informing me about me being added to the blog roll for an awesomely cool opportunity for Cabbin Cuddler but I didn't take the task as I'm not from the USA since the requirement is already stated in the opp.

Ditto Irene, and it was showing as 'request a slot' any way.
Don't really understand why I got the email when I am not qualified for it x 2 lol

I would love to try one of these- but the opp is showing "requested" but not reserved. What do I need to do?

Yep, another here that is getting a message about it even though I'm not USA. Haven't recieved an opp from here in weeks and thought it must be something I could get since I was getting a message about it, but apparently they send it to everyone whether they qualify or not, kind of silly don't you think?

It says I already took the opp (I did), so am I still eligible to receive the product? Thanks!

Hi,
I also didn't understand why I received this e-mail from you since I already did the opp, unless to drive traffic to this page.
Since my post has been the best post to date for awhile, I should be eligible to receive the complimentary cabin cuddler right? When are you going to send it out to the 25 bloggers?

Also got the invitation...
Well I asked the advertiser to clearify this, as I also would not have been eligble...

Hello Everyone,
We simply e-mailed everyone on the BlogRoll to ensure maximized exposure. If you already took the opportunity, then please disregard.
If you are not from the US, then I appologize as you received the e-mail in error.
If you ARE from the US and you HAVE not taken the opportunity, then please request a slot.
Thanks,
Joe

Typical that you guys email non-US citizens. As if I don't get enough crap emails as it is? ')
