Influenster Varsity VoxBox Review!

Influenster, is a company that encourages bloggers, social networkers and “influencers” to join and share their opinions on different products! As an award for your participation, you can qualify to receive VoxBoxes which are filled with different influential products relevant to your lifestyle! As you know, I’m a college student and this Varsity VoxBox was made for us students so Influenster sent me this complimentary Varsity VoxBox to try out the products and review them for you!


As I said, the Varsity Box was created especially for college students with different products perfect for people my age!


So, I love Tide Pods. I buy these in massive packs at Costco and they are so convenient! You just toss one pack in the wash with your laundry and voila, that’s all there is to it! I was very happy to see this in the box, every college student needs to be using Tide Pods!


I received multiple samples of this Clearasil Daily Clear Refreshing Superfruit Wash which was exciting because I got to pass a few of them along to friends This face wash makes your skin tingle a little bit while you’re using it which makes your face feel really clean!


These Kiss Nail Dress Decals last up to 10 days and you can put them on your fingers or toes! I did check out some of the other patterns that Kiss has and there are some really cute ones!


Ok, yum. Study snack? Movie snack? Anytime snack? Yeah these were a big hit and I imagine they would be with any college student! These are sour and sweet chews in cute little bite-sized format. Delish!

I was intrigued by this NYC Big Bold Plumping Lip Gloss because it’s supposed to plump your lips while you wear it! It applies really nicely and the color is cute too! I’ll have to see if I notice a difference with the fullness of my lips, but regardless I think it looks really nice on.
Verdict: This was a really fun VoxBox and it was definitely perfect for college students! I hope you enjoyed this review and if you’d like to sign up for Influenster, click HERE! It’s totally free and fun too!
Disclosure: This box was complimentary and was sent to me from Influenster in exchange for a review!

Love With Food Review.

Sometimes the best things come in small sample packages! Have you ever wanted to try out a lot of different types of food products, but didn’t want to spend a lot of money buying the full sized product until you knew for sure you liked what they had to offer? Me too!! To me, it just seems logical to want to try something out before you buy it, because who wants to waist your hard earned money on a product you end up not liking? That’s why I have fallen in love with Love with Food!

It’s a great way to try out new and delicious foods without spending a ton of money on a product you don’t know if you will like or not.
Love with Food can be purchased as a monthly membership, or as a gift which you send to a friend or family member. Either way, you are getting a great deal. Each monthly purchase contains 5 or more curated gourmet samples, allows you to earn points for free products, offers free shipping, and every purchase supports the No Kid Hungry program; where for every box purchased Love with Food will donate a meal to the No kid hungry organization!

Healthy Surprise Review. (YUMMM)

                               
                                         



I love exploring different vegan, natural and healthy food and snacks so when Healthy Surprise said they would send me a box I was very excited!  Healthy Surprise snacks are full sized items with the occasional single serving bags. There are three price options: $33 (16-20 servings), $66 (32 to 40 servings), and $99 (50 to 60 servings). The box of snacks is very focused on health and may contain bars, fruit, nuts and seeds, kale chips, raw chocolate, and more.

So lets start off with a little bit about the company:

Each Healthy Surprise box is filled to the brim with delicious, healthy snacks. Every month our snackologists work hard to put together a variety of healthy snacks to form the perfect snack box! We've partnered with the best snack companies in the country and work with them to deliver you a great variety each and every month. Every month you'll receive totally new snacks - we never repeat any snack two months in a row, although we may include different flavors of something we think is really special. And every now and then we bring back our favorite snacks when there's popular demand.

Step 1:  Join - Make the decision to eat healthier and feel better and then choose one of our three healthy boxes. Sign up is quick and just two easy steps.

Step 2: Enjoy & Discover - We send you a box filled with the best snacks on the planet every month. Each box is filled with an assortment of different kinds of snacks including bars, fruit, nuts and seeds, kale chips, raw chocolate and all kinds of other tasty snacks. Each month you'll receive a new and different snack from one of our great snack partners.

Step 3: look and feel great - By eating the best foods on the planet, you'll have more energy and feel better. Since we ship healthy snacks to you automatically, you don't have to do anything but enjoy!


The Goods:

        My box waiting to be torn into!!


I love the colors right when you open it, very fresh and bright! 

So lets get into the prouducts:

       This Alter Eco Dark Almond organic chocolate bar is very large (2.82 oz). Alter Eco is fairly traded and made from cacao beans grown near the Ecuadorian coast. The cacao beans are then sent to Switzerland where they are roasted and crafted into fine chocolate bars. My sister and I have already sampled this, and it is  delicious. It is such a rich chocolate that only a few bites will more than satisfy a sweets craving! 



    These two products from Hail Merry are great sweet treats. The raw vanilla maple almonds (.88 oz) are sweet but still allow the almond taste to shine through, a great combination!

The Caramel Sea Salt Macaroons (3.5 oz) are going to be a new addiction. These little bite sized cookies are light yet dense, so rich and perfectly flavored, A recipewas also included but the bag was gone before I had a chance to make them.



    For when that salty snack craving hits, we have two options: Kale Krunch (Southwestern Ranch flavor, 2.2 oz bag), from Alive & Radiant Foods, is "Nature's Green Supersnack." These don't taste like you'd expect kale to taste, but it's hard to describe. It's a good crunchy snack that will help you avoid those greasy chip cravings.

Plentils (Light Sea Salt flavor, .8 oz) are an item I've sampled previously before.
 and I love them! They are crunchy and so good, they give you healthy instead of horrible ingredients, found in regular chips. 

The next two things I did not get a picture of because my memory card was full. 
The Crunchies brand freeze dried pineapple (9 g, .33 oz) is a winner. This is billed as "Nature's Ultimate Snack Food" and I think it lives up to that. Chewy, pure pineapple taste, and 100 percent natural. Excellent on the go snack.

Peter Rabbit Organics Banana & Apples fruit snack is an applesauce in a pouch. This is great for a lunchbox or a supplement to your mid-day meal, in my opinion!


      There were three bar inclusions in the box:

The Just Fruit Bar from from Gorge Delights is Apple Raspberry flavor (.40 g) and I would liken this to a fruit rollup for grown ups! Totally natural, and a genuine wonderful fruit taste.

The Rawma Bar from GoPal's Health Foods is Wanut Fig flavor (1.8 oz.) This is an energy bar. I ater this after my hike and it was very good. It did have a little bit of the energy bar after taste butother then that it wasvery good.

The Thunderbird Energetics is described as an "artisan energy bar" which had me immediately intrigued. The company is committed to harnessing the most powerful sources of human fuel and delivering them in a great tasting bar. This one is in "Sweet Lemon Rain Dance" and is handmade and Shaman blessed. These kind of touches are the things I LOVE about a box like Healthy Surprise. I'd never learn about a brand like this on my own, and it's fantastic. 

Want to try Healthy Surprise yourself? You won't be disappointed. It is one of the most creatively curated boxes I've ever received and if you're into absolutely the best and purest products that are soy free, gluten free, vegan, and delicious -- give it a try!

Disclaimer: The company was very nice and helpful. They sent this box to me to review. 

GARNIER FRUCTIS HYDRA RECHARGE REVIEW!!

           If you don't know what Bzz agent is it is a site that sends free products from all different companies to try out and review. If this sounds like something you want to do sign up at www.bzzagent.com.

I love this prouduct! My hair feels more hydrated and clean. It feels more healthy and I have only been using it for about a week. This is defenitly my new favorite hair care routine! I have used other dry hair formulas before but was not pleased. I love how the entire regemen works together as a team. The Moisture-Plenish Treatment does take just a minute. I also love how the beads in the shampoo disolve and burst on your hair. my hair stays silky all day and is still silky even when I wake in the morning! love it!!!

As soon as I got my BzzAgent box last night I had to use it right away. When I used the shampoo, I quickly realized I did not need as much shampoo as I normally would use. It lathered up a LOT! And I felt like it rinsed very clean, which I like a lot. I also used the Moisture-Plenish Treatment and left it on for 1 minute like it says to. I was surprised at how clean that rinsed out also. With my hair being so thick I usually have a hard time rinsing out conditioner and treatments, but not with this! I really like not having any residue. because I can't wash my hair every day and I dont like the residue feeling in my hair after a day or two. With that being said, I still feel all the benefits promised! My hair seemed to dry faster (which is a big deal for me) and I felt like the straightener went through my hair more smoothly. My hair feels so soft and looks so healthy, and I feel like it won't start to feel greasy when it is time for the next wash. My hair feels fresh and still smells great!

Green Mountain Coffee review.

If you don't know what Bzz agent is it is a site that sends free products from all different companies to try out and review. If this sounds like something you want to do sign up at www.bzzagent.com.

As a BzzAgent, I received free samples to try of Green Mountain Coffee in exchange for my review.

First of all, I have to admit I was a bit hesitant about trying a different coffee. I normally drink Starbucks, and in the past when I've tried a different coffee, it was bitter and I couldn't drink it.

I was pleasantly surprised Green Mountain wasn't bitter at all. In fact, it was very comparable to Starbucks. The price was also pretty much the same, even though a few cents more, but that's okay. I know my money is going to a great cause-and I'm getting my get up and go too.

Another plus is that Green Mountain is also Fair Trade Certified. Fair Trade helps farmers get a fair price for their beans, improves working conditions, assists in protecting the environment, and supports community developments such as new schools, roads, health clinics and safer drinking water. Also check out the live stream of their concerts, Green Mountain Coffee's Facebook page.

 The taste is great, the price is comparable to other Fair Trade coffees, and it's available pretty much anywhere. My friends and I each had a cup the other night and agreed it was one of our favorites. I distributed the coupons and saved one for myself so I can stock up and have a delicious cup whenever I want!

*Disclaimer: BzzAgent is providing the Green Mountain coffee for me to try, although this in no way influences my opinion of the brand and coffee itself.
