Glade Expressions

I am going to be reviewing Glades Expressions oil diffuser and room spray.

I received a free full size oil room diffuser and full size refillable Fragrance Mist from Bzzagent, just for testing out the product and stating my opinion.

Check out Bzzagent for your chance. It is super easy and nothing is better then Free samples.

I have to say Bzzagent has been very good to me this year.  I've received a number of campaigns.  These campaigns are free sample opportunities and I love it. Buzzagnet is based on user participation so the more you review and get the word out the more campaigns you will get. So check it out, they are awesome.


Now the review.

I received coupons for one free Glade Expressions oil diffuser and One Glade Expressions Fragrance mist, which I found at Target.


 I could only find the diffuser in white and bamboo finish, obviously I selected the bamboo, it was more inviting.


The assembly was very easy, Just pop in the bottom or oil holder until it snaps and your done. It is nice to not have to use a room spray to fragrance a room, in addition it is nice to come home to a nice scent, without lighting a candle. But I think the glade brand isn't sophisticated enough. It smells like pit stop toilet room spray. 
I have to be honest, I didn't like the Glade Expressions oil diffuser . It doesn't have notes, and levels. In addition, the scent fails in a few days. Which is sad,  I wish it lasted longer. I'm glad i didn't spend money on it.

Now for the Glade Expressions^® Fragrance Mist. I think this is a plain ordinary room spray wrapped in a modern outfit. This mist scent is nothing exciting, honestly a room spray is room spray. Like the Glade Expressions oil diffuser,  the spray was attractive, it was new, and modern. It was easy to use and refillable which is awesome.  See the screw bottom below.

With that said, like the oil diffuser the mist, had a fake scent, nothing to exciting., no notes. The most disappointing part was I could only find the spray in cotton scent,  which was not a good scent at all.

Glade does have a new line of Limited Edition fall scents for the season, like maple pumpkin  and blackberry jam yum. This limited Edition line was super cute, but the campaign was not for these scents, which were so much better then the expression line. I wish the Expression line came in Maple Pumpkin and Blackberry Jam, sad. I would get rude of pineapple mango and the cotton and stock the Maple Pumpkin and Blackberry Jam.

Please try this products above yourself. you never know I could be wrong.

Thanks for reading.



 

Telestrations

Well this blog has been a long time coming. I am going to be reviewing the Game Telestrations, by USAOPOLY. 

YAY... Board Games.......... Telestrations............

If you don't already know Houseparty, is a website, that hosts houseparty's to select groups of people who apply. If selected to be a party host, you get enough products and party supplies for yourself and about 15 people. It is simple word of mouth advertising, the membership and products are free, all you have to do is host a party and spread the word.

Now, I've been a member of houseparty, for years. Lately, the website has under gone some changes and it looks like more and more people are following them, which means it is getting harder and harder to be selected for a party. This can be a bit frustrating,  apply to party after party and getting nothing. But to everybody that has applied and been denied, hang in there, because it is worth it.  I am not sure how you are selected, unlike Buzzagent it isn't on merit and longevity but I think just pure luck. That and also on how much you use social media. So check out Houseparty and you never know you may get a party for you and your friends. 

Since this is the first time I've mentioned houseparty I thought I would give them a shout out. So now....Let the games begin.

So.... I was selected to host the Telestrations Game and it was Awesome.  First the party package was HUGE, yes HUGE and I didn't received one board game but two free games from Houseparty.

 

Below find the contains.

For Host:

• 2 Telestrations^® Board Games
• 1 “Laughed So Hard I Cried” Box of Tissues
• 1 Pack of Telestrations^® Party Balloons

For Guests:

• 14 Mr. Telestrations^® bendie collectibles
• 14 Mr. Telestrations^® Fun Masks (erasable too!)

Awesome right, and FREE....

Now, I was so super excited to get the party pack. After it arrived I had to twit the pictures of the party pack out to everybody right away... It was to good to keep it to myself.

Now the party...

I was heading down to NYC to visit my brother and his new fiance this past July...While there I was planning on meeting the new in-laws.  I was told the whole group was full of game people, and anybody who knows me and my friends knows we are game people too. Sounds like a perfect match.

Well, the night started off with dinner, but soon it was game time.

 

 I told everybody I had a new game from Houseparty called Telestrations and I explained that it was like the old telephone game, where one person, tells a story to another person,  then that person explains the story to a third person and so on.  When the process ends and the original story gets to the last person, the story has been changed. Everybody seemed to know the telephone game. So we were good.

The games started with a family game, the host already had. It was easier to break the ice with a game everybody was familiar with then to jump right into a new game. But soon enough it was on, all eyes were on me. I was a little nervous having not spent alot of time with the new family and not knowing if this game would be a dud. I pulled out all the Bendie buddies and Telestrations fun face masks and gave everybody one each.  In addition, I placed the tissues on the table in front of the group not knowing if we would every use them.

We started the game by selecting one pen and one color coded sketch box each. I read out loud the instructions and we were off.

 Each of us wrote our names in the books and started to draw the word that was selected. We continued to pass the books around the table, until we were done. There were moments we had to ask questions, because the game was new. We asked questions like, What number are we on? What page are we suppose to be on? etc.... But all in all it was pretty quiet. The whole time I was thinking, "I hope this game works out. "

After we all received our original sketch books back we started to reveal what the original word was, one at a time. One by one we revealed the original word and the groups facial expressions read, Ooohhh.. Yah... As the group spoke out load, "That was what the word was." Ok, "I get it know". But there were some words, that puzzled the group. You could hear Everybody, explain, "I did not get that at all."

I will explain a, "I didn't get that at all." Situation. When I received my sketch book back, I opened my book and reveled to the group that my word. The secret word was  "Los angeles" and everybody in the group was dumb founded.  I myself  didn't get that at all. When I turned the page to reveal the sketch of Los angeles I turned the page to find what looked like eye balls or beach balls or something round. And I was confused, my brothers fiances grandmother who had drawn the round pictures  explained, they are "Rings" so proudly.  I still confused  moved on to the next page, where my brother who was sitting next to the grandmother said, "I saw the round picture and I saw rings", and my brothers fiance who was next to him said, "I saw the word rings and draw a person with rings on there hand", And her mother said I saw the ring on the persons finger and so I wrote the word rings. It went on and on, and I spoke out and said, How do you get rings when the word was Los angeles?  and the grandmother said I saw the word "Tiffany" and so I draw rings for jewelry like the store....And the whole group laughed. I laughed so hard, I had tears in my eyes and to think I didn't think we would need tissues at all, as my brothers new mother in-law reached for a tissue to dry her eyes.  The funny thing was my name is Tiffany. She mis-read the secret word.

That is how the party got started, it was a blast. Most of the pictures we got as a group, and we felt proud and the ones we were way off on, were the best, because they kept us laughing. This is an awesome game. I've already played it a second and third time on difference occasions with different people.

This is a game we will be playing for years, thank you Telestrations and Houseparty...

For more fun...

Nectresse from the markers of Splenda

Well it has been a long time since I've had a chance to review a product. I do apologize to all my followers, life has just been so busy with work. I am sure you all know how it is. But I have so many new products to review and I feel obligated to review them all. 
So let's get started.

I am going to review Nectresse the new natural no calorie sweetener from the makers of Splenda. This product is 100% natural and made from the Monk Fruit. The package is orange and it comes in a box of 40 packet's which is what I received in the mail from Smiley 360. For Free....You can also buy Nectresse in a 140 serving canister.

Each packet provides the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar. The sweetener can be used like all other sweeteners on the market, in drinks, on fruit, in recipes etc. The expiration date having just received the box is listed as 3/22/2012. So the shelf life is about 6months.  Nectresse has no calories, no fat, no sodium, no protein, and only 2g's total carbohydrates.

Now for my review:

I have to be honest. I didn't like it.

 Sorry, I have to be honest. I thought this product had an after taste. I was so excited to try the product, it was new and from Splenda which I've loved for years and still use. I like splenda over the blue and pink packets too. But the new Nectresse was not good. I thought maybe because it was 100% natural and made from the Monk fruit that it would taste sweet like honey or molasses why??? Because the ingredients are Erythritol, Sugar, Monk fruit extract and Molasses.

I was a good dobby though, because I received free samples from Smiley360 for myself, friends and co-workers, I tried to spread the word.  I believe my option is not the most important one but yours is.

So I handed the individual packets out to a few my my closes friends and most said, "If they are going to use sugar why not use the real thing"? So with left over packets, I thought the best way to spread the word on the new Nectresse was to bring the samples into work and place them at the coffee machine. My co-workers gobbled them up. The packets were gone in a few hours.

So I did my best, I tried, I gave the sames out and I spread the word.

My last attempt to spread the word would be to give out a 40pack box of Nectresse to one lucky reader. Yes, you heard right, I have a box of Nectresse free to go home to one lucky winner to try themselves supplied by Smiley360...So drop me a line and first come first serve.

Thank you again for stopping by. I promise there will be more to come.

Thank you again Smiley360

 

Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review

I am going to be reviewing Truvia all Natural Sweetener, which I received complimentary in my Influenster Love VoxBox this past February. To all of you who have been reading my Blog, this is my last review for the Love VoxBox. Oooh.....And YAY me. 

So, lately there seems to be allot of sugar alternatives on the market.  Truvia is one of the newer products. A product that I haven't tried until testing it out in the Influenster Love VoxBox, which is awesome because I love trying new things. I have seen commercials on TV but never actually purchased or tried it for myself.

Now the sample box I received contained 7 packets of Truvia. perfect for a taste test. 

 The individual, Truvia packet is as heavy as a sugar or raw sugar packet. The Truvia is in granular format, not a powder. I used my Truvia with a cup of the Stash Tea which I also received in my VoxBox.  I made a hot cup of tea, and noticed the Truvia dissolved, after just pouring it in and stirring. Which was nice, unlike sugar which sometimes sits on the bottom of the cup. I didn't notice a after taste. And I noticed I used the whole packet of Truvia in my cup of tea. Some other brands I've tried are so sweet that I only use 1/2 of the packet. So this was perfect for me.


Compared to the Yellow, Pink & Blue packets I think Truvia, is comparable or even better in quality and taste.

I think next time I am offered sweetener I will have no hesitation to reach for Truvia.

Kiss Nail Dress

THE KISS NAIL DRESS REVEIW......... Complimentary for testing by myself, through the Vox LoveBox program by Influenster...........


I received Kiss Nail Dress Fashion Strips within the February Love Voxbox from Influenster. I wrote about this product shortly within my combo Love Voxbox review, but this is a more detailed review. Now at first glance this product is Awesome. I was all smiles when I opened the box and saw I received the Glittery gold Leopard print Fashion strips.


Kiss Nail Dress are basically a little packet of real nail polish stickers or decals, that you peel and stick to your nails. There are no multi layers of plastic, this is straight forward peel, align with your nails and stick, proceeded by filing the decal to fit your nail shape.

I actually cut the top of the decal down then filed the rest of the decal to the nail. Because my nails are not as long as the decals, it was easier to cut the decal down. In the end, It all worked out, it isn't rocket science at all, it is a super easy process.

One of the best parts of the Kiss Nail Dress Fashion decals, is there is no drying time. The normal drying time is eliminated so you don't have to sit around for 30 minutes to an hour trying not to touch anything or bump into anything which will ruin your nails. With the Kiss Nail Dress Fashion decals you gain valuable time that you could be doing something else with.

Another reason to love the Fashion Dress, is you can have salon quality designer nails without having to go to the salon and spend the extra money for them. Now you have extra time and more money in your pocket with the Fashion dress. In addition, you could buy 3 or 4 sets of Kiss Ultimate Nail Fashion Dress decals,  for the price of a manicure at a salon. 

This was one of the best products in the whole Love VoxBox, and perfect for the valentine month of February. I love it. 

So, now I saved the BEST part for last, the Kiss Fashion Dress decal set is not just for your finger nails but for your toes, YAY.... The packet includes 28 nail decals, for you to find the perfect fit.  I haven't seen this in the stores yet, and I haven't seen another brand that offers both finger nail and toe nail polish strips together in one pack.  So this is a awsome combo pack.  I do have to say I have big feet, huge really, so the nail decals for the toes didn't fit on my toes vertically but they did horizontally and the good thing about the Kiss graphics department, is they actually thought about how the design would look both ways, because you can't tell from one toe to the other that they were rotated.  Awesome Job Kiss.




 Since I've tried both the finger and toe Kiss Fashion decals. I have to say I was a little concerned at first about the nails coming off my fingers early, so I did put a clear coat of polish over the finger decals. This was not one of the steps on the packet,  but I thought it would make the nails last longer. Now I am not a finger nail polish girl.   I do love it, but it is time consuming and I hate it when the nails start to wear. I get embarrassed when I don't remember to take off the polish because I was to busy, and the nails are worn and then I have to try and hide my hands all day till I can go home to take off the polish. Bah... So it is easier to just not wear nail polish, but with that said I love the ease of the Kiss nails, and after three or four days of the Kiss Fashion Dress decals on my finger nails they did wear a bit around the tops, and I did have some creases on the nails from the decal being applied on a curved nail but they lasted long enough for me.

Another highlight, was when I went to take off the decals the polish peeled right off.   How Awesome....... I've tried other nail decals and the polish is real polish so after a day or two the polish is stuck to your nails and it takes forever to remove the decals. A good 15-20 minutes.  Well the Kiss decals came off so easily I am amazed. Now I wash my hands all day long and apply lotion so I figured the finger nail decals wouldn't last as long as the toe decals, which after a week are still on my toes. YAY. I am so happy with this product. The Fashion Dress decals, make me happy after a long day of work, to come home, and see super cute fashion designer nails.

The Kiss Fashion strips really make me smile, they are fun, easy to use and girly. It only takes $6.99 to feel pretty even if you just want to wear pajama pants and a t-shirt. I will buy this product again and again. I love it. Salon style nail for your toes and fingers in minutes, for $6.99, it is a must buy. You won't be sorry if you buy them.


Just in case you didn't get enough....Here's some more information from Kiss.

I received the Gillette Venus Razor & Olay  shown above in the Love Voxbox by Influenster.  The best part about the razor is that it was Free, Yes, Free. The Influenster's VoxBox program provided this product absolutely free to test. Check out my blog titled February Vox Love Box by Influenster, for a full review of the VoxBox, and the Influenster program.

 I love, love, love  The New Venus Razor:   I honestly thought this was just another razor but it is so much more. 



  
First, the packaging is awesome, you don't have to cut the thing open. Like so many other razor packages out there. You just push the tab and pull. The best part is the whole package can be recycled which is a bonus.









So at first glance, the package is glittery, bright and shiny, but it is way too jumbled with stickers and logos, that you can’t tell the razor has moisturizing bars on the razor head. I had to re-look at the package front after I opened the package to see if it showed the Moisturizing bars on the package front, I had no idea the razor was special until the package was opened. You really can't tell, but thank heavens I got a free razor in the Vox LoveBox because I would have never purchased this razor by package alone.







Now, after opening the package and loving the ease to do so and then realizing the razor was a moisturizer and razor in one, I don't think I would want to buy another product.

The razor worked perfectly, the bars left my skin smooth and soft and it had enough lather to shave without adding shaving cream or more body wash. The bars seem a bit small and I was wondering if they would really lather and moisturize and they do. I love that this razor saves money too, since the razor has built in moisteners, you don't need to buy another product to shave your legs. This is a must have.

If you didn't get enough razor information, below find additional facts about the Venus & Olay Razor provided by the Influenster's VoxBox Program.

February Vox Love Box by Influenster

Vox Love Box by Influenster

Before I review the products in my Awesome Vox LoveBox, I wanted to say thank you to the Influenster staff.  I was so lucky to get a VoxBox, I signed up to be a "Influenster" member in January and was picked a few weeks later to receive the Vox LoveBox. Absolutely Free. That's right, Free.  I was so excited. This really made my year and this year just started.  Now in all honesty I did attend there Twitter party hosted by Influenster about the Voxbox, not sure if that helped my chances but I always think it helps to participate.

Now, Since this is my first VoxBox, I will explain how it works, it is really easy. All you have to do is sign up to be a Influenster member, you then answer a few profile questions to earn badges which represent your likes. The "badges" are unique to the Inluenster system, which are like little buttons, the more information about yourself and the more reviews you provide; the more badges you earn. That is it.   Now when you qualify for a Voxbox, which is based on your profile and badges earned, you will get a Free box of products in the mail to test out.  Sent free of charge. The box will contain about 4-5 hand packed new and improved products which could be food related, beauty products or more functional items like a razor, it is a surprise each month. So check out Influenster so you too can try new products for Free.

Now for my review. The Love Voxbox. 

The First Item in the Love Voxbox was the new Venus Gillette razor & Olay.  I love, love, love this new Razor. I honestly thought this was just another razor but it is so much more.  First, the packaging is awesome, you don't have to cut the thing open. Like so many other razor packages out there. You just push the tab and pull. The best part is the whole package can be recycled which is  a bonus. 

 So at first glance, the package is glittery, bright and shiny, but it is way too jumbled with stickers and logos, that you can’t tell the razor has moisturizing bars on the razor head.  I had to re-look at the package front after I opened the package to see if it showed the Moisturizing bars on the package front, I had no idea the razor was special until the package was opened. You really can't tell,  but thank heavens I got a free razor in the Vox LoveBox because I would have never purchased this razor by package alone.  


 Now, after opening the package and loving the ease to do so and then realizing the razor was a moisturizer and razor in one, I don't think I would want to buy another product.



The razor worked perfectly, the bars left my skin smooth and soft and it had enough lather to shave without adding shaving cream or more body wash.  The bars seem a bit small and I was wondering if they would really lather and moisturize and they do.  I love that this razor saves money too, since the razor has built in moisteners, you don't need to buy another product to shave your legs. This is a must have.




The Second Item in the VoxBox was a full size, 3.5 oz,  New Ghirardelli's Gourmet Milk Chocolate Bar. Yum.

 I love chocolate but I am a milk Chocolate girl. They say your palette changes every 7 years, and I know the older I get the more refined my palette is getting. But I still love Milk Chocolate, just a different grade of chocolate now.

The new Ghirardelli Gourmet milk Chocolate bar was perfect for me, finally a grown up chocolate bar. I tried the new 32% cacao chocolate from my Vox LoveBox, and it was smooth, and rich. The bar was thick and the chocolate snapped when bit. The bar has a more refined taste then the typical Hershey bar. The chocolate doesn't taste oily or fatty.  It tastes like chocolate, as if it had more cacao and less fatty fillers. 

This bar was a treat, I will definitely buy this again. Yum, the only bad thing about the free bar in the Vox Box was I ate the whole thing. I kept saying just one more piece, ok, just the serving size, ok just half the bar and within two days, it was gone. Oh well. Now I have to buy a new one.

FYI, after visiting the Ghirardelli website, I noticed they have two more new flavors, a Sea Salt Escape and the Gourmet Milk Coconut Rendezvous bar.  I love that the new flavors are not ordinary. I hope my locate store carries the new flavors when I go.


The Third Item in the VoxBox was a whole box of Stash Herbal Tea.

 I love getting items that are calorie free and after eating a whole chocolate bar I need something to full my belly, that is low in calories and that tastes great. This box wasn't an ordinary box of Tea but, was a Sampler, YAY. All of the 18 bags of tea are Caffeine free and the box was 1.0 oz, so it was full size. The tea is of course 100% natural and tastes fabulous, with 9 favors, I can have a different tea each day for over a week for a daily afternoon tea tasting . The best part is the teas have a long shelf life so it will last in the pantry for years. Not like it will last a week.  I already took one of each flavor to work for my 3:00pm pick me up.

My Stash sampler box contained :
Acai Berry
Blueberry Superfruit
Chamomile
Cinnamon Apple Chamomile
Lemon Ginger
Licorice Spice
Mango Passionfruit
Peppermint
Wild Raspberry Hibiscus




The Fourth Item in the Love VoxBox is Truvia all Natural Sweetener. I received a little sample box with 7 packets of Truvia.


Now I've never tried Truvia before receiving it in the Voxbox. I've heard of it and seen commercials on tv but never purchased or tried it for myself. The Truvia packet is as heavy as a sugar or raw sugar packet. The Truvia is in granular format, not a powder.  I used my Truvia with a cup of the Stash Tea. I made a hot cup of tea, and noticed the Truvia dissolved, after just pouring it in and stirring. Which was nice, unlike sugar which sometimes sits on the bottom of the cup. I didn't notice a after taste. And I noticed I used the whole packet of Truvia in my cup of tea. Some other brands I've tried are so sweet that I only use 1/2 of the packet. So this was perfect for me. I think next time I am offered sweetener I will have no hesitation to reach for Truvia.


The Fifth and last Item was Awesome, I received Kiss Nail Dress Fashion Strips. Which basically is a little packet of real nail polish stickers or decals, that you peel and stick to your nails.

This eliminates drying time and allows you to have decorative nails without having to go to the store. I was super lucky because I got Glittery gold Leopard print Fashion strips. YAY..... This is one of the best products in the whole Love VoxBox, and perfect for the valentine month of February. I love it.

Now, FYI.... I have tried other brands in the past and didn't realize as soon as  you open the inner packaging you have to use the strips or they will dry out and you won't be able to use them. Because the strip is real nail polish it is some how vacuum sealed into the bag or packaging and once open, it needs to be used. Now I got a set of strips previously and tested them out on one nail thinking I would test out the life of the strip and save them for a super special night on the town. Little did I know I would ruin the whole package because after a few weeks I went back to the package and they were all dry.

So when I got the set of Kiss Fashion Strips in Leopard print, I knew to use them all at once. Now this package is not only for your finger nails but it includes a set for your toe nails, Awesome. I haven't seen this in the stores yet, and I haven't seen another brand that offers both finger nail and toe nail polish strips together in one pack. The Kiss Fashion strips really made me smile, they are fun, easy to use and girly. It only takes $6.99 to feel pretty even if you just want to wear pajama pants and a t-shirt at the end of a long work day, if you have fun fashion glittery nails you'll just feel girly. I love it.

That's it, Thank you Influenster, I would have never purchased the above products before recieving them in the Voxbox, not because they are bad products but because I didn't know about them.  With the Voxbox program, I was able to discover new products which I will buy again and again.

Thank you all for reading.

February Cravebox Review


The February Cravebox has arrived, and I love all the items. I didn't think they could beat the January Cravebox but it is equally fantastic. This months Cravebox is all about, "putting a spring in your step and making it a little easier to prepare for a great night out with friends or someone special."

Now before my review, I have to let you know the table of contains that arrives in the box each month as a greeting, was so super cute this month, it had little hearts and flowers on it. The Cravebox marketing team or graphic designers did a fabulous job, they thought of everything down to the littlest detail or heart.

Now my review.

The first item in the box was Downy Wrinkle Releaser, like febreeze this new product helps refresh your garments. But unlike febreeze it also De-wrinkles them so you can transition easily from work to going out on the town, love this idea. Upon recieving this little 3 oz bottle, I took it straight to work and put it in the top draw of my desk, to make it easier to use De-wrinkle at work. Love it. The Wrinkle releaser has a nice light fresh scent, it smells clean and fresh, like your clothes just came out of the washer and dryer. Perfect for date night.

The second item in the Cravebox was not one but two ThinkThin nutrition bars.  I received one Chocolate dipped mixed nut bar (1.41 oz) and one Creamy Peanut butter bar. The Mixed nut bar contains 10oz of protein but the Creamy peanut butter contains 20g's. Which I love, because it keeps me full longer. The Creamy peanut butter bar was 2.1 oz while the Mixed nut bar was 1.41 oz  and contained 4g of fiber. The Creamy peanut butter bar was good, it was heavy, dense and filling. I liked it alot and would buy it again. I haven't tried the Chocolate dipped mixed nut bar yet, but if it is as good as the creamy peanut butter bar it will be fantastic. I love easy gab and go options and these bars are perfect for the person on the go.

The next item was Eboost energy drink. I received three single servings of this energy drink in all-natural orange flavor.  All you have to do is add water and drink. It contains, 1000 mg of Vitamin C, 1000IU of Vitamin D and 2,500 Mg of Vitamin B12 just to name a few.  As I said in my January posting of the January Cravebox if you replace OJ with EBoost you can have a diet smoothie in the morning and reduce your calorie content by 120 calories, since EBoost is just 5 calories. Yummy.

AmorePacific was the next item in the February Cravebox, I received not one but two samples. One Moisture Bound Skin Energy Hydration Delivery system. and one Treatment cleansing foam.  Both samples are 1.0 Fl. oz.  The Moisture Bound Skin Energy Hydration system is a " bamboo sap-based, oil-free, mist provides instant hydration, lasting over 8 hours in a spray pump." On AmorePacific website this product goes for $35.00 for a 2.7 fl. oz product. So the price of this product alone pays for the February Cravebox. Which means all other items would be free. Come on ladies if you don't already subscribe to Cravebox, you have too. This is a awesome deal.
So ...The idea of the Energy mist is awesome, you can refresh your skin while on the go, or at the end of the work day when you are meeting the girls out on the town. Now you can energize your skin, and be off.  The Treatment cleansing foam, is a " sulfate-free, non-drying, foaming cleanser that effectively removes impurities and make-up while providing anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial protection for the skin." This goes for $50.00 on the AmorePacific website for a 5.1 Fl. oz  tube which means we got a $10 dollar sample in our Cravebox not bad.

The last item in the February Cravebox was not one or two but six individual Bic Mark it Permanent Markers, all fine point and all in pink and purple colors. Which I love. Because, my favorite colors are pink and purple so I couldn't be happier. Also the pens are acid-free ink so they are safe for all those scrapbookers out there, which I am one of. I am also, a crafter so these makers are fabulous.  They are perfect for crafts, school projects and whatever else your heart can think of.

That's it the February Cravebox, it had it all Snacks, pens, garment refresher and beauty products. All could be used to get ready for a night on the town or for a little something special to lighten up your mood for the day. I can't wait to see what March brings.

Thank you Shespeaks and Cravebox.

Thanks for listening.

January CraveBox

I slacked off this month, I already got my February Cravebox and I haven't posted my January CraveBox review. But here it is. Bear in mind I am new to Blogging and this will be my first video Blog, Yay. I totally tried to review each product verbally but I hate the sound of my voice. So I went with the silent video. Sorry. I'm a work in progress.

So here you go, the January CraveBox.

Now if you didn't read the December Cravebox Blog, which happened to be my first Cravebox review, the Cravebox is a monthly program that you pay 10 bucks a month for which includes shipping and in return you will receive 4-5 hand picked new products to test out each month. Awesome right.  The best thing about Cravebox is it isn't just beauty products but stuff you can eat like diet bars and chocolate, it also has useful items like pens and markers. Plus Beauty products. I love it.

My review:
I think the Mereadesso, Face & Neck toning gel which is a full size 50ML or 1.7 FL oz. (a 4 month supply), is a awesome size. And the bonus is the price is $120.00 Wow. Really ....Wow... love it. So with that said; I think it smells like grandmoms closet. But for the price alone I will try it. All of it. Since it has been a few weeks since I received this product I've been using it and it is a fluid product not creamy or heavy. It goes on thin and light, and doesn't feel heavy and cakey. We will see if I notice any results.

Mereadesso, Face & Neck toning gel has, "16 botanical extracts, 7 minerals, a complex of vitamins and enzymes and over 20 different antioxidants all combined in a light weight gel-lotion with easy application and quick absorption on the skin."

The second item in the box was Emergen-C, 1,000MG Vitamin C drink. It too, is a awesome size. A full size box with 10 packets. This will last all cold and flu season. Since I got the February Box already I will do a taste test with the two drink mixes and post my findings, to see which is better. So check back for that. And FYI, while at the Twitter party hosted by Shespeaks regarding the January Cravebox, I learned from a Emergen-C rep that you can use Emergen-C in place of OJ and make a diet smoothie in the morning. Yum.

The next item is Awesome, the SH2 Pedometer. It looks like a ordinary pedometer, but it isn't,  it is so much more. Now when I opened the January Cravebox I pushed aside the Cravebox note or table of content because I wanted to be surprised. So I could discover each item one by one. So it wasn't until a day or two later, that I read the welcome note and noticed the description of the SH2 pedometer, which explained you could gain points. What??? Well I went online and found out at SH2 that you get points for working out or walking, the points you gain will allow you to win or earn free gift cards to Amazon, restaurants, and more. You have to check this out. I love it, it is so motivating. I got 600 points for 10,000 steps. so I need to keep going to win, a gift card.

The fourth item in the Cravebox is a one year subscription to Prevention Magazine. Awesome item, once again, a gift that keeps on giving. This will help remind me each month to keep my diet on track and to eat sensibly.

Now the last item is a bottle of olive oil. I am a foodie so anything food related is for me. We received a 5oz bottle of Colavita Extra virgin olive oil.  I like that, I can use it with pasta or on salad, it is a great addition to this heart health Cravebox this month. Yum.

I don't know how Cravebox does it.

Thanks for listening.

Free Pizza

Hello again-

I have another Website for you.... I've been a member of  Buzzagent since 2008, now that may sound like a long time but at first I was super intimidated by the website.  I couldn't figure it out, So I only used it on occasion and it wasn't until recently that I forced myself to figure the website out. The website is another word of mouth website, that allows  you to try new products for free and share the products they send to you with friends and family. Then if you want you can write about the products and review them online. Well the past few years I got the hang of things over at Buzzagent and just this past year they revamped there website. It looks super colorful and easy to navigate around. So check it out. It is worth it.

Well to the free pizza, right? Well I was offered the opportunity to try. Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza, and of course I said yes, I am a foodie and love to try new things.

So I received coupons for 2 free pizzas in the mail which are 13.8 oz each, along with a bunch of $1.50 off coupons to hand out to my friends and family. Well I cashed in the free coupons the other day. And the funny part was I wanted to order pizza in, but remembered I had free coupons so I made a special trip to the store just to get Dr. Oetker's pizza. Well when I checked out, the kid behind the register was flabbergasted because he opened the cash draw grab a few dollar bills and looked up at me and said  the computer is telling me I owe you money. I smiled and said the pizzas are free, don't worry about the change. The thing was the pizza was on sale for $3.99 but the coupon was for $4.99.

Thank you Buzzagent.

So the Pizza, the packaging was ok, the pizza is a product of Germany and the size is on the medium side. Actually the pizza is more of a single serving if you are really hungry. Not really for sharing unless you get more then one pizza.  I will attach a photo of the pizza on a regular dinner plate.

I purchased, the Pizza Spinaci and the Pizza Mozzarella. Both were good.  The Pizza Mozzarella was tastie. I like the hints of basil. And you can't tell by looking at the pizza ( because the cheese looks like fresh mozzarella) that the cheese was string-ie; in a good way. When I picked up a piece of pizza  there were foot long gooey cheese strings.  Yum.. The crust was thin but crunchy, I wish it was a little more Dougie but that isn't the style.  Now the cooking process, you are suppose to bake the pizza at 425 right on the open rack. Well, I didn't want to mess up the oven, so I put a cookie sheet under the pizza, but it still caused the fire alarm to go off. Which sucked. But what can you do. I don't think pizza tastes good out of the microwave so the oven it was.

So the second pizza, the Spinaci was equally as good, I didn't have high hopes for it, because of the spinach. But you could taste the salt-ie-ness of the Parmesan cheese and the Spianch was not water-y, it didn't make the crust soggy which was surprising, it was a very good pizza and I would buy both again. 

My local store only had the two pizzas referenced above and the Funghi, and I like mushrooms but the word Funghi just throws me off and I was like no way am I going to buy that. I wish the store had more options but all and all it was good pizza and experience.

Now would I have purchased this product before the campaign, No. So way to go Buzzagent you got me. The pizza is a keeper, solid B+
