Sunbelt Bakery Bars

I received one of these bars (Oat & Honey variety) in my newest VoxBox from Influenster. I'll admit I was going to pass it along for my kids to try since I'm not usually a "granola" type of person. I threw it in my purse thinking to split it between them as a snack if lunch was running a little late. Well we were shopping one morning after I had skipped breakfast, and I was pretty hungry. I remembered this bar in my purse and I'm so glad I tried it! Hunger was gone and I discovered a new (dare I say healthy) snack I will be keeping on hand from now on. When I think of granola bars I ... Continue Reading...

Filippo Berio® Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Filippo Berio® Extra Virgin Olive Oils I had two flavor intensity options to choose from: Robusto Robusto’s intense fruitiness adds a lively burst of flavor to a variety of recipes. It works perfectly as a marinade for meat and poultry, is a wonderful base for your favorite sauces, and delivers a great finish for grain salads, bean salads, and roasted vegetables. Delicate Delicato’s mildly fruity flavor and mellow finish complement your creativity by allowing other recipe ingredients to shine through. Enjoy this smooth-tasting olive oil on seafood, sandwiches, fresh fruit, and as a ... Continue Reading...

Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner

This shampoo gets the job done = it cleans your hair.  I couldn't find where it repaired any damage or made my hair healthier.  After about 4 washes buildup became noticeable and I would have to use a stripping shampoo.  I have oily hair so this may just be a product of my hair type (though the same doesn't happen with the higher-end brands I usually use.) The conditioner is somewhat heavy so it didn't suit my already-oily hair.  I never put conditioner near my roots (only on the ends) but this conditioner left my fine hair weighed down and sticky feeling. These have a nice fragrance and ... Continue Reading...

Secret® Clinical Strength Invisible Solid

If you need serious wetness and odor protection, this is the deodorant for you!  Seriously. I first tried this after my first baby came along when my hormones were going crazy.  It helped so much with all the extra sweat I was dealing with despite it being the middle of winter. It has a nice texture and goes on smoothly.  There is the occasional transfer to clothes if I didn't let it "dry" long enough before getting dressed. It has never stained my clothes which was great.  Who has time to scrub deodorant stains from every shirt?  Not me. I would recommend Clinical Strength to any ... Continue Reading...

Clairol Natural Instincts

My dark ash brown hair with a smattering of grey absorbed this color very nicely. It didn't 100% cover my grays, but rather tinted them so they look like tiny threads of copper throughout my hair. I rather like it. This overall color is "vibrant" as the box claims and not a sad flat color which is great! The shade indicator on the box was spot on accurate. I have sensitive skin and there was no reaction to it (don't skip the allergy test!). I would have like the gray to be covered a little better so I give it 4 stars, but I would still recommend this color for anyone wanting to try a ... Continue Reading...

COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Mascara

I'll be honest (that's what these reviews are all about right?) this isn't my favorite mascara. Does it clump? Nope. Does it irritate my eyes? No. Does it flake off after a few hours? No. All of these are HUGE for me, so why isn't it my favorite? Well, long story short this mascara is just plain. Mediocre. There isn't much volume or blasting going on. It's just a smooth nice mascara I would have for light-makeup days. This wouldn't go in my "full glam" stash of makeup. I give it four stars because there is nothing wrong with a nice low-key mascara, I just need something with a little ... Continue Reading...

Tastykake® Minis

My kiddos were super excited to test out these new Tastykake® Minis and these yummy little cupcakes did not disappoint. We tried the Mini Swirly Cupcakes with chocolate cakes which are made with Hershey’s Cocoa, then topped with chocolate icing and white creme filling. My kiddos all gave them two thumbs up (= 5 stars) and we will probably end up buying these again in the future because the serving size was perfect to split as a small snack between my three older kids. Be sure to stop by TastyKake® online to see their full line of yummy cupcakes: TastyKake® on Facebook TastyKake® on ... Continue Reading...

Braun No Touch + Forehead Thermometer

This thermometer is amazing for several reasons: It is accurate. That's important right? Of course! I tested it again other thermometers and it holds its own very well in the accuracy department. To touch or not to touch. You can use this thermometer on your sleeping baby or fussy toddler (or irritable husband) without ever touching them! Yep, that's right, it works up to several inches away. No fancy hand-waving or swiping necessary. Just aim (or touch) the thermometer at the center of the forehead (between the eyebrows) and press the button. Sound or no sound. If you want to know ...

Pure Ice Nail Polish

Pure Ice Nail Polish is "big 3 free" (toluene, DBP and formaldehyde have been proven to cause cancer and nerve damage among other things). Most other polishes that also carry this claim are upwards of $8 per bottle. NOT Pure Ice -- it cost only $1.97 at Walmart. The color selection is great. I picked up #308 Girly Girl Pink. It took two coats to get the true color, but that is normal. And last but NOT least is the fact this polish is Made in the USA! What's not to love? I received a free sample of this product from Influenster to try. I was not required to write a positive review. ... Continue Reading...
