#GoddessVoxBox from Influenster

Hi guys!  It's been so long since I've posted some original content.  Let's see if we can't change that!

Starting with this great VoxBox from Influenster.  One of the better boxes that I've received.  Radiant FlenFoam pads from Always, Downy Freash Protect Odor Defense, Cutex Polish Renover Wipes, Dickinsin Witch Hazel Hydrating Toner, and a nail polish from SinfulColors - the Kylie Jenner collection.

My favorite product was the toner because I can see myself using that all the time.  Currently I'm using it morning and night.  I will definitely buy it when I finish my "sample"!

Thanks Influenster and all of the other brands I received for this box!!

#VioletVoxBox

I am SO excited that I was selected for the Violet VoxBox from Influenster!  Check out my video:

My favorite item was the Mud Spa.  The Big One and Ms. Middle both really like the nail polish and Little Baby is in L-O-V-E with the headband.  She stole it from me and when I needed to do my reviews for Influenster, I had to BEG her to get it for me.  She had hidden it!  Little Baby is now Little Turd.

Montagne Jeunesse Clay Spas

Spa Day at home?  I love a good mask, so I was very excited to try this one out.  Montagne Jeunesse Clay Spas are fabulous.  I received the Dead Sea Mud Spa.  Dead Sea Salts and Dead Sea Mud make this mask unique from any other one I have tried.  I liked that this was not only a mask but also a soft scrub.  My skin felt so smooth and soft after using this.

Not Your Mother's Clean Freak

I had never heard of DRY SHAMPOO before.  Seriously.  So, when I received Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing Shampoo from Influenster, I was very confused.  I asked the Hubs, "HEY!  Have you ever heard of dry shampoo?"  He said, "yeah."  "Really?" I asked and thought, how does a bald man know about dry shampoo?

After contemplating the question for several minutes, I decided it didn't really matter, but I should move on an TRY the dry shampoo.  I read the instructions on the package.  Spray onto hair, brush, done.  Easy.  Fast.  Voila!  Clean hair.

I found it best to do the second day after you shower.  When I waited to the third day, it didn't work as well.  My hair still seemed oily and almost sticky.  I did not get this feeling on the second day.

You should totally check it out!

Lifeway Kefir {Review}

When I was chosen to participate in the Lifeway Kefir review program with Influenster {if you haven't heard of this site, shoot me an email for an invite}, I was SO excited!  Mind you, I had no idea what Lifeway Kefir was, but it sounded interesting.

Ms. Middle and I went shopping.  She picked out the Vanilla flavor.  I decided that we needed more variety, so I grabbed a Blueberry and Strawberry smoothie as well.  We went home and put them in the fridge right away.  She was SO excited to try it with dinner.

When the Big One got home, my non-secret-keeping Ms. Middle blurted out that we had smoothie to have with dinner.  This lead to a bunch of begging and whining and crying and a mommy that caved into smoothies BEFORE dinner.

We broke open the blueberry {since Ms. Middle picked out Vanilla flavor, the Big One got to choose which we tried first}.  I took the first sip...YUMMY!  So good.  The blueberry was a very potent taste.  It was smooth, which was nice.  I have yet to accomplish this in my own blueberry smoothies, so it was a nice change.

A few days later we opened the strawberry and vanilla flavors.  I enjoyed the strawberry, as did the Big One and Little Baby {since it's 99% lactose free, she was actually able to have it}, but Ms. Middle stayed true to herself and L-O-V-E-D the vanilla.

Have you tried Lifeway Kefir?  Did you like it?

Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+

In my Spring Fever VoxBox, I also received Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Dust it TEXTURE powder.  I was a little worried, as I have long, thick hair.  I read the package and it said it would add volume.  I didn't think it would work.  IT DID!

 Yuck, got some face in that one.

Side view, not so appealing.

Check out that volume!

Now, go on out and get some!

Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure

Seriously, do you do your nails everyday?  Go to a salon, pay a large sum of money and have to keep the same nail color for two weeks?  Well, here's an alternative!

Applying these imPRESS nails was SO easy.  Literally peel and stick.  Matching them up to fit over my nails was the hardest part {and I would suggest that they get numbers for sizes so it would be easy to find the right fit for repeat users}.  They are so inexpensive, you can change up your look for everyday.

Since I said you could change them everyday, I'll bet you're wondering how long they last and if it hurts to take them off.  Well, these lasted about 2 days.  I applied them on a Tuesday evening and by Friday night, I had peeled them all off.  The first two came off earlier, I am pretty sure it was user error, as they both came off right after I washed my hands.  So, I must have not pressed them down hard enough and the water got under them and they came off.  The last four were REALLY stuck on, though.  If you get the right grip, I'll bet they will stay on a lot longer.  I also haven't worn fake nails for several years, so it felt strange and I scratched Little Baby when changing her diaper in the middle of the night.  Even the last four didn't hurt a bit when I took them off.  It was great.  I will definitely be buying these for special occasions.

Also, I LOVE the container it comes in.  I didn't know a thing about imPRESS when I received the Vox Box and I thought it was just really cool nail polish.  I was so excited that I was wrong!  These are SO much better!!

Secret Outlast Clear Gel is Good for Any Age!

• Are you looking for something to protect you from workout odors?  From under arm wetness or white marks?  Me, too!  My usual deodorant was ok, and helping, but sometimes I applied more than once in a day.  End of the world?  No, not really; considering I wasn't starving or dying, just reapplying my deodorant.  More like irritating and unnecessary.  Well, now I know it's unnecessary.  
  

• I got this really cool sample of Secret Outlast Clear Gel in my Spring Fever VoxBox from Influenster.  I tried it right away.  I mean, I didn't even wait to see if I would finish my other deodorant.  It was fantastic and has a nice mild smell.

Now that you know what kind of deodorant I'll be buying, the least you can do is answer this question for me:

Do you Deo Dance?

Tastykake® Kandy Bar Kakes Are Yummy Goodness!

YUMMY.  This was a really good bar.  Was it a candy bar?  No.  It was a Tastykake.  A cake bar that tastes like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.  At first, I was skeptical.  Would this cake-thing really taste like a Reese's?  They are SO good, why would someone mess with that?  So, I tasted it {by myself, because they said I could}.

@dawns_disaster We don't think its mean to keep the sample all to yourself, but if you like it you might want to buy a box and share them!

— Tastykake (@TastyKake) May 28, 2013

It was good!  You need to try them.  First, you bite into a thin layer of chocolate.  You bite further and get some yummy chocolate cake from the top or bottom.  Lastly, you gather a taste of the peanut butter cream goodness.  So good.  The cake was a little drier than I usually make mine, but it's ok in these bars.  This will be a repeat offender of my diet this summer!

"Kandy Bar Kakes are the best of both worlds. Light and fluffy chocolate enrobed cakes come in a unique kandy bar shape with a delicious créme filling made with your favorite candy flavors. Available in S'mores, Peppermint, and Peanut Butter flavor.

Available at grocery and convenience stores across America. "
