Influenster Vox Box : #MOMLIFE

I got to try Influensters' VoxBox called MOMLIFE! 

Here's the highlights! 

Items in this box:

1 full size box of Success Boil-in-Bag Quinoa. I made a recipe for this item, you can find it here: Quinoa Fritters with Garlic Lemon Aoili. Yummy! 

A Sample size or Vera Wangs' fragrance "Embrace". This was nice, very light floral and good for Spring and Summer. 

Twinings Tea - Sample Lemon and Ginger. This was a big too gingery for me, a bit strong...but I love this brand of tea. I used my coupon for a Nightly Calm tea, which I loved. 

Jacuzzi Epsom Salt - Lavender. This epsom salt is very high quality, as the crystals are not smashed into a dust in the package. Very light scent, I would use this again. 

EvaNYC hair care products, I got the 10-in-1 Magic Mane Hair Primer (amazing, leave hair soft and super shiny), and the hair mask which was equally lovely and high quality. 

All of these products were fantastic, and I am so happy I got to try them! 

~See ya next time!

I received these product complimentary for testing purposes. 

Product Review: COPPERTONE® CLEARLYSheer™ sunscreens

COPPERTONE® CLEARLYSheer™ Sunscreens

These are great! The cream: For Sunny Days (yellow bottles) is perfect for faces (and body), and the spray: For Beach & Pool (blue) is great for large areas. I used a combination of both for my kids when they swim in the pool. I spray their arms, back, chest and legs and then use the cream on their faces. 

These sunscreens worked great, we used them for a full week of swimming and random outdoor stuff, and not a single burn, break out or problem! 

A favorite feature of mine is the twist on/off spray lid. Left is OPEN (on) and right is CLOSED (off). 

More information: 

Absorbs in seconds for a clean and light feel

Moisturizing formulas help leave your skin soft and smooth

Won’t clog pores or cause breakouts (clinically tested on acne-prone skin)

Matte finish is perfect for use under makeup

Note: I received these items free from BzzAgent as part of a promotion.

Ergonomic Pen Review & GIVEAWAY- Uglee Pens

UGLeePens!

(contest at the bottom of post)

****Update***** Contest is OPEN 

"The UGLee Pen is good for everyone who writes (even just a grocery list), and is especially helpful to people who experience pain and discomfort when writing, for example those with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc., and for all children who are learning to write and are developing fine motor skills.

It is also helpful for special-needs children who find holding a pen or pencil properly difficult. And for high-school and college students who have to take copious notes, this pen helps keep hands and fingers from cramping." (http://www.ugleepen.com)

A comparison to the size of other pens, from left: UgleePen, Sharpie Marker, basic pencil, and a Bic pen.

And now...

On to the giveaway!!

From the website, AlphaCard: 

AlphaCard believes that every student should have a real student ID card, but homeschooled students don’t usually have access to them. We've decided to do something about it by offering homeschooled students FREE professionally printed photo ID cards through the end of September.

• Shipping & Handling included--no strings attached
• Offer valid through 09/30/13 (or while supplies last)
• This program is restricted to the U.S. only.

There is a limit of 5 ID cards per household.

(there is other fine print, be sure to read before submitting) 

Go get yours now--- it expires 9/30 OR while supplies last!!!   Click here -- >   AlphaCard

Fill in the information, in Step 1 - it will be what is printed on the card! Step 2 - add a photo!

Step 3, filling in shipping info, and step 4 - review and place order.

Kind of a rant....but not really. And a Freebie!! OMG!

Ok so here's the thing...just because something is available for free...that does NOT make it a "great freebie". I realize there are plenty of people out there that will snag and grab any free item offered for no good reason--I kinda feel like I am one of those people sometimes. However...this "great freebie" has me....perplexed. This was/is posted on various freebie sites as of now: 

OMG It's free....I have to have it!!!!



This lovely free offer comes from Reid Supply Company and is meant for business owners to sample the quality of their various knobs, handles and grips. This is not a "great freebie". It's a bunch of plastic ...crap! What in the world would the 'average person' want with this? Why would someone post this as a 'great freebie' to the average person?

I dunno either, ...but I want it. Why? Because it's FREE!  


*shakes my head at myself*



You want it, too ...dontcha!  Go on...click HERE, getcha one! :D
