Dr. Scholl's® Active Series®

I was lucky enough to be one of the people selected to test Dr. Sholl's Active Series shoe insoles Via Influenster VoxBox. 

 I was very pleased with how will these insoles worked, they provided me with support and comfort even with the swelling I've been experiencing this pregnancy. I actually noticed less swelling since I started using them. They are actually very comfortable. They are also very easy to insert and take out. They helped alleviate pressure while walking.

I would totally recommend using these if you experience pain from shin splints, runner's knee, and plantar fascitis.  

*I was given this product complimentary of Influenster for testing proposes.*

New Bows

So I won the Give away over at Alyssa Collazo's  blog. 

The Winner (Myself) won a $15  bow credit over at My Sweet Baby Bowtique. 

It was a really great experience and I would totally recommend using My Sweet baby Bowtique for all your bow needs. She's super friendly and very efficient. Does what she promises plus some. She's a real doll to order from and makes high quality bows. 

I ordered 3 extra large bows

Thank you Alyssa and Miranda for this opportunity! 

   

My free gifts from Influenster

I was picked from Influenster to receive a free gift for participating in the Palmolive brand challenge. In all honestly it kind of just seemed like random leftover's from previous challenges thrown together. Either way I love FREE STUFF so I'm not complaining. 

My Box came on August 6th, 2013 

When I opened it I found these goodies inside!!

The first product I tested was the nail polish. I took it up stairs where I painted my toes. 

I tested Sinful Colors nail polish in color "feeling great" and so far no complaints. As of today (8.13.13) I've still notice no chipping and the color is holding up great. I used two coats of color and NO top coat.

Next I tried the Hand soap

I tested Softsoap Rich Shea Butter. This product immediately went onto my kitchen sink. This product I do love and recommend for anyone looking to keep their hands soft. It reminds me of body wash and leaves my hands feeling soft and feeling good. Ps. the rich shea butter fragrance was a great compliment to my Palmolive dish soap I received complementary of Influenster which was coconut scent. Both are really great summer fragrances. 

Lastly the ImPRESS nails. Which I cannot say I was impressed! These look pretty and might be great if you just need your nails done for a formal event and do not intend on keeping on more than a few hours and not washing your hands. Other wise, these would be a complete waste of money. I had them on less than an hour and washed my hands and noticed lifting around the cuticle. The 2nd time I washed my hands they were falling off. How embarrassing would that be, to be out in public and your nail just fall off!?!? I do not recommend these unless it's for a quick event. 

 Again all products were sent as a free gift sent by Influenster and I chose to write a review of my experiences. 

  

Lifeway Kefir

I had the privilege of testing an pretty amazing product. I was given the opportunity to test taste 1 free kefir product by Lifeway. Kefir is like a yogurt but upgraded and optimized for maximum health benefits. This product is packed with probiotics and contains good for the gut bacteria.  It's a healthy alternative when hungry and need a snack or great for cooking and used in recipes. 

I opted to test taste the low fat strawberry kefir drink. It has a nice thick rich consistency but not so thick you cannot drink it. It really reminded me of drinking yogurt. Plus it comes in two sizes. I chose the bigger of the two. I really enjoyed the taste and so did my children (all three of them). 

Kefir Mustaches 

  The only down side to this product is finding it. I had a terrible time finding a store that carry's it. I went to our local grocery store (shoprite) and no luck. I did however manage to talk to the dairy manager and she said she could order some if I was going to be a regular customer. I ended up having to drive to the next closest grocery store (another shoprite but bigger) which was about 30 mins away and they only carry a select few of the Lifeway products. The other concern is that the products are a bit pricey but not so bad that I would not considering buying them. Just like all things that are good for you... they cost more.

I'm very curious to try other products now that I know how good these products are for you. I really strive to live a healthy lifestyle for myself and children and can see us making this part of our routine. 

If you're interested in learning more about theses great products or where you can find a store that carry's them check out their website.

Easy Lunch box prize

I received my Easy lunch box prize Saturday July 27th. It was a very fast process and very professional. I would totally recommend Kelly. Kelly had contacted me July 23rd (late evening) after Amanda and I had spoken about the required details. I  had my products shipped to me from start to end in 4 days!!! That's pretty impressive if you ask me! The products are very durable and nice sized. The cooler is also a very convenient size . Now that I've had a chance to test them out. I would totally recommend these products. 

I won a GIVEAWAY!!

I'm so excited to say I won my 1st giveaway on Amanda Kee's blog. She had a giveaway/ review on Easy Lunch Boxes and I won, which is CRAZY because I never win anything. I ended up picking the same color combo as Amanda and didn't even realize until after I sent in my choices. I was heavily debating between the orange cooler and the blue (which I picked). Maybe I'll buy the orange later down the road depending how I like the blue one. Kelly the owner of the shop is very friendly and quick. Less than an hour after Amanda and I talked and I gave her my info, Kelly had contacted me. Later that night I picked out my choices and the very next day I had my shipping conformation sent to me. So i'll be on the look out for my new products. 

Thank you Amanda and Kelly for this opportunity.

Influenster: Palmolive® soft touch dish soap

I was chosen for my 1st vox box with Influenster. I was picked to test May's Palmolive® soft touch dish soap in versions Vitamin E and Coconut butter. My favorite out of the two I tried was the Vitamin E. The reason I like this one more even though the other has a great scent. Is because it does a better job moisturizing my hands. Although the other smells better. I found these products very useful and did a wonderful job on my dishes and saved my hands a ton of damage. My only complaint is that the dish soap is a little liquidity  Over all though Palmolive is tough on grease, soft on hands.

You can find out more about this product on the Palmolive website found here: Palmolive Website and find reviews on this product here: Influenster Palmolive reviews

If you are interested in testing these products and want to see how amazing they are for yourself you can purchase them at Walmart.

I received these items complimentary from Influenster and that all opinions are my own.
