Reynolds Cookie Baking Sheets Parchment Paper

Thanks to Crowtap and the Reynolds Crowd I was invited to test out these Reynolds Cookie Baking Sheets for free. I'm a big cookie lover so it was nice to be able to make cookies with the husband and see how well we liked the Parchment paper and how we will incorporate it into our routine of baking. I loved these for no bakes as well as for chocolate chip cookies as these are probably my two favorite cookies. I love how it doesn't leave a mess on the pan, and it makes storing the cookies that much easier.Great product I will continue to use. 

#JingleVoxBox

Thanks to Influenster I was invited to participate in the #jinglevoxbox campaign in which they sent me a box of goodies for me to try for free for testing purposes. As always I'm always thrilled to be invited to try out these great products. If you feel like trying out products and giving your opinions its really easy to sign up at the website and just answer a few questions. Now lets get to the items that were in the box

So here is the box when it comes in the mail all pristine and you just can't wait to open it!

1. Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream












This moisturizing cream is great for dry skin and who doesn't have dry skin in the winter time! It retails around $8.99-$15,99 depending on the size you get. Overall great product and really helps dry, cracked, and itchy skin. Check out their face book at facebook.com/cetaphil #cheerphil

2. Biscoff Cookies

This are Europe's favorite cookie to go with coffee. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I do love cookies and I thought these were very tasty! They have their own unique taste and I thought they were delicious. I would love to try more of their products. These retail for around $3.99. Learn more at facebook.com/biscoff or follow them on twitter at @biscoffcookies #mybiscoffbreak

3. Ore Ida Tater-Tots

There was also a coupon to redeem a bag of Ore Ida Tater-Tots which I've had before and are so good if you love potatoes. Also on Influenster they were making recommendations of making oreidatotchos which is sorta like nachos but with tater tots. These retail for around $6.95 and can get and most grocery stores. Learn more at facebook.com/oreidapotatoes #oreidatotchos

4. Hallmark Itty Bittys

These little stuffed themed toys from Star Wars, Barbie, DC Comics, Inside Out, Rainbow Brite and many others are just too adorable and make great cute collectible gifts. They are available at Hallmark and Hallmark.com facebook.com/hallmark #ittybittys

5, NYC City Proof 24 HR Waterproof Eyeliner

This eyeliner just glides right on and the color I received was dark brown. I usually only wear black eyeliner but I was surprised by how much I liked the way the brown looked. This will be something I will purchase as its super affordable and it stayed on all day. Retails for $3.99 facebook.com/newyorkcolorcosmetics  @nycnewyorkcolor #cityproofnyc


6. KISS True Volume Lashes & Lash Adhesive w/ Aloe












These are Volume lashes made with 100% natural hair made to blend with your own lashes along with the adhesive that contains aloe for super long lasting hold. I'm not going to lie I'm having a hard time getting these lashes on as my own eyelashes are longer than these fake lashes. They seem like good quality but as someone who doesn't ever use false eyelashes I don't see myself ever using these. The retail for the lashes are $3.99 as is the aloe adhesive. Learn more at facebook.com/KissNails @kissproducts #kisslashes

7. Pure Ice Nail Polish

Here is a nail polish from the Pure Ice brand. This color is called Home Run which looks more like a Spring color to me. I thought the polish went on great and they have a great assortment of colors to choose from. Also their products are made in the USA! They retail for $1.97 so I will be picking up many other shades.

Centrum Multivitamin Gummies

Thanks to smiley.360 I was invited to participate in getting to try this multigummies from Centrum. I've tried taking regular vitamins before in pill form but to me they always tend to upset my stomach. I would even try taking them with a little bit of milk as that would sometimes ease up the tummy pain, but after awhile it just began to be too much of a hassle and I stopped taking vitamins altogether hoping I would get most of my nutrients through the food I eat (I do try to eat fruits and veggies). But if you really look at the serving amounts how much of each vitamin and minerals your body needs compared to what we take in its an actual task to do so. I give those people who are health conscience, bodybuilders, weightlifters, and people who take this kind of stuff seriously some serious credit.

I've giving this product 5 out of 5 stars. It was a real win for me. I like that its not in a pill form. You just take and eat 2 gummies a day (thats it- no more no less) and its not like eating a bag of gummy candy where you want to eat the whole thing. It has three flavors in the bottle cherry, berry, and orange. After a few days of taking this gummies I noticed I had more energy and focus than I was used to having and after all who doesn't need more of that these days. It also helps support immunity and metabolism, and oh its gluten free, and Contains no wheat, milk, soy, egg, peanut, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, or shellfish allergens.

Influenster #Sunshine Voxbox

Thanks to Influenster I was lucky enough to be picked to try the products in the Sunshine Voxbox for free and for testing purposes. I'm always super excited to get to try out these items and let people know my opinion on them. This Voxbox was filled with some really great items so lets get to reviewing them. 

1. Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Refreshingly Clean Cleaning Cloths

Now these cloths come in a package just like any other cleaning/makeup remover and they remove makeup as you would expect, but I just couldn't get over the medicinal scent that this product had. It was almost overpowering. If they found a way to tone that down I would consider purchasing this item. It was just too much for me.

2. Blue Diamond Sriracha Almonds

At first I was like, I dunno about these! They are gonna be too hot for me (I'm not a fan of spicy food) But once I started eating these I actually couldn't stop. The Sriracha flavor was not so strong you couldn't stand it but nice enough to give it a boost of extra flavor. I let my sister try some and she really liked these too. I would buy these and eat these for a snack either on the go or while watching a movie or for anytime really.

3. Infusium 23 Moisture Replenisher Leave-In Smoothing Creme Enhanced w/ Avocado and Olive Oil

I loved using this! I also got compliments with my shiny hair. You can use this on wet or dry hair. You just rub into hair getting into roots. It also has a nice smell too it. A product I would recommend and a product that will be making my list of things to buy and also recommend to people.

4.barkThins

Now what we have here is a very tasty chocolate treat! It did take a trip or two for me to find as there were none here in my local area and I had to travel about 45 minutes away to find it. There are different varieties of this chocolaty treat but I wanted to try the blueberry quinoa as I love blueberries. This is dark chocolate which I do like (I like any chocolate). You can break off a piece and after eating feel satisfied so you don't have to go through the whole bag. Great stuff.

5. Sinfulcolors Nail Polish

This shade is called Southern Belle which I love! Sinful Nail colors is becoming my favorite nail polish as they have so many shades to choose from and the prices are decent and affordable and surprisingly with 2 coats the polish really last. When I go to the store I find myself looking for their display.

6. Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Spray Moisturizer

This was another product I loved. You just spray on and rub in and your it dries almost instantly. It was a blessing in disguise this was the aloe kind as a few weeks ago I suffered a sunburn on my legs and arms and aloe is great for sunburn and this stuff worked wonders. A product I will buy and recommend to others.

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs® VirtualVox #ABLChallenge #contest

Thanks to Influenster I was asked to participate in the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs VirtualVox. Which is just like one of their voxboxes but without actually receiving a voxbox in the mail. They gave me a coupon for 2.00 off Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs which I could redeem at a retailer where this product was sold. I also could share coupon via Facebook and Twitter for my friends and followers to redeem as well so they could try the product if they wanted.

I went to Kroger as I had to go pick up some prescriptions I had ready and saw they had this available and decided that since I'm pretty pale skinned I better go with the light glow. The product comes in two forms of lotion or spray and I wanted the spray kind which was the only kind they had.

So I decided to try the product and which is pretty easy to use you just spray on your hand and then rub on your legs you just want to make sure you do it evenly. You could tell as soon as you put the makeup on a difference. 

I liked that it was a nice subtle difference without being too dark or too orange. Also it didn't come off on my clothes, only did I go to wash it off with a soap and sponge did it come off. Overall a great product and I would recommend.

#FrostyVoxBox

Thanks to Influenster I was lucky enough to be picked to receive the #frostyvoxbox and get to test out these awesome products for free! This box contained some goodies that I was excited to try ranging from makeup (my favorite) to candy, and even tea (not such a favorite but hey lets try it before we are so quick to judge). Here are the following items in no random order:

1. Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in shade 001 Black. This product retails for around $4.49 and you can get this at most major retailers and drug stores. I love Rimmel products as they are affordable compared to other products and give the same results. This is a great eyeliner. It glides on easily and the color does pop.

 

2. Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover. Ah another Rimmel product which is perfectly fine with me and this one goes perfect with the eyeliner as we girls are all looking for that product that really gets that makeup off around the eyes without leaving any residue. I was quite pleased with this product as well and this one retails $7.49 and the bottle is 4.2 FL OZ.

 

3. NYC Expert Last Lip Color in Sugar Plum. This lipstick is the perfect shade for the holidays and even has the perfect name. I think this color would actually look good on anyone its a good neutral that will give your lips that little hint of color. Plus its supposed to last up to six hours. I also like that its moisturizing and in this winter weather we all need a lil bit of that. This lipstick retails for $1.99 so it's super affordable.

 

4.No7 Protect & Perfect ADVANCED (sample) this is a serum that is clinically proven to reduce the signs of aging such deep lines and wrinkles within 2 weeks and retails for $29.99. I recently just turned 30 and don't want to think about aging (and I don't by any means think that is old) but I know there are tons of these types of products out there but I don't really have much to compare this to and the sample was not enough for 2 weeks. I did notice my face feeling tighter after using the product so I think that would be a good sign.

 

 

5.Fruit Vine Bites which retail from $1.28-$1.79. I got a whole bag of these tasty little chewy candies in the strawberry flavor and I think this might have been my favorite item in the box (which is crazy its not one of the makeup items but it was close).This also comes in cherry flavor. Now I've always considered myself a Twizzler girl (strawberry flavor) but when I opened the bag and tried these for the first time I was hooked. These little bites pack the flavor are a good chewy candy which makes for a great movie snack. I could go on and on about this one but alas there is more to write about.

 

6. EcoTools Hair Brush. This handy hair brush from EcoTools was also a hit as it made brushing my hair a breeze after getting out of the shower and blow drying my hair. The sleek design also made it seem to make my hair dry a tad bit faster. This hair brush retails for $10.99

 

7.Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Decaf Green Tea. Now I am not a tea drinker in anyway whether it be hot or cold, but since this was candy cane or shall I say peppermint flavor I figured why not give this a try it might tone down the tea taste. I was surprised I could actually drink this tea. It also helped that while I'm battling a nasty throat infection (I know all kinds of cold, flus, and viruses going around) it helped to soothe my throat so a definite plus. You can buy these in a variety of packs so prices will vary and also they have many different flavors so check out their website at celestialseasonings.com

 

8. McCormick Gourmet Thyme. I'm not much for spicing up my food or even salting my food(even though my blood pressure would tell you different) but nevertheless I'm always happy to get to try something new. We decided to try this out on an oven roasted chicken and I couldn't believe how much flavor it gave the chicken. It really brought out the chickens flavor and I will be using this again on my chicken dishes. Not sure what else I'll use it on but I'm sure something will come to mind. This retails for around $4.79

 

Again I just want to state that Influenster sent me this products for testing purposes. Love getting this vox boxes and being able to voice my opinions about the products. #FrostyVoxBox

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Crowdtap Litter Genie Cat Litter Disposal System

Thanks to being a member of crowdtap which anyone can join just go to crowdtap.com. If you have a Facebook (and who doesn't nowadays) it is super easy and a great way to voice your opinions with brands and get invited to sample products and also every month you have a chance to win gift cards! It is a win, win, win!

 I was invited to participate in the Litter Geniuses sample and share where they sent me a Litter Genie to try for free. Yes I did say for free. Here is a video explaining the Litter Genie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bX2z3qsyjQ&list=UUALEpyRT7TuCMHJq3vTb5fQ. Basically you scoop the clumps from your cat's litter box and the Litter Genie does have on its side a place for your scooper (it does come with one) and you place those clumps into the genie itself (inside is a special bag that you place inside which it does come with but you will have to get refills for, then there is a special handle that pulls the clumps down to the bottom and that is sealed away up to 14 days. Then once its full there is a special cutter in the middle of the Litter Genie that cuts off the bag and you tie the bag and seal it and that is how you use the Litter Genie. Once you actually see the product in person its not as difficult as it seems.

My cat knew the second that I opened my packaged from Crowdtap that it was for her (maybe the cat on the package gave it away. She was super excited about so that made me happy. Overall I'm thrilled with the product and would recommend if you have 1 or more cats. It actually helped me save on litter and I've already bought a refill so this is a product I will continue to use. A big thank you to the Crowdtap Litter Geniuses Board for inviting me to participate in this sample share! You guys are some cool cats!
