Mucinex Multi-Symptom Cold PRODUCT REVIEW

I recently was able to try a free full size sample of Mucinex Multi Symptom Cold for my child care of Smiley360. I would not call it lucky, but our whole little family got sick last week after coming home from vacation and we were actually able to try the product out. I was worried that I would not have anything to say about the product because I did not think there would be an opportunity to see how it actually worked. However, I was pleasantly suprised as to how well it DID work for our daughter, who is six years old. It really controlled the symptoms and was a good addition to the antibiotic we were given by the doctor. I have always been a fan of Mucinex products and this one is great because it has added ingredients (thus being multi-symptom) that the original does not have. Madeline also said she did not mind the taste, which is always a plus when kids have to take medicine! I would recommend this product to anyone who has a younger child for when they unfortunately catch a cough or cold.

Chapstick Dual Ended Hydration Lock (PRODUCT REVIEW)

I recently was able to try a free full size sample of Chapstick's new product care of Smiley360. It is the new dual ended Hydration Lock chapstick and one of its characteristics is that it has two seperate ends on the stick that hydrate & moisturize as well as heal. I felt that it worked quite well for chapped lips, but I did not feel that it was much different or any better than any other brand on the market. I enjoyed being able to try the product and I have mentioned to my friends some of the positive qualities, one of them being that it leaves your lips feeling very smooth and the chapstick itself has a very creamy feel. Great product to try and test it out for yourself.

Victoria's Secret Store Experience

I used my coupon (finally) last weekend at Victoria's Secret in Cool Springs. I am just now getting around to blogging about my store experience. The 25% coupon was great and I definately could not pass up using it. I grabbed one of the tank tops from the line as well as a second sports bra that had a little less padding than the one I received in my VoxBox. I loved my experience, as always, at the VS store that I shop at. They are always so nice and helpful and were excited that I was coming in to check out the new sportswear line. In addition to visiting the store, I looked on the website quite a bit too and have considered purchasing a few additional items from the collection. I think it is great that VS is branching out and offering such a variety of products!

Keurig 2.0 VoxBox Product Review

I have been using my complimentary Keurig 2.0 I received for testing purposes for about a month now & I must say I am literally obsessed! It is my first experience with anything from the Keurig line & I am one of my only friends or family to have one! First of all the set up for the machine when it first arrived was so easy. I think I had the thing all together, making a carafe of coffee within 30 minutes of its arrival at my house. I think this is a perk because many of these fancy appliances take forever to set up and are very confusing for consumers.

Now, onto the carafe. It brews a 4-5 serving carafe in addition to the single serve cups of coffee. To be honest this is the reason I was so excited about this product in general because that is about how much I would like to make so it is not a waste, but it is still more than one cup of joe. I especially enjoyed the Hawaiian blend that came with my VoxBox. Tasty stuff!

I have also enjoyed making myself a single serve of tea or coffee as well and this feature still being a part of the product is great for when I just want something so I can head out the door. It is fast and easy. Pop the K-cup in and you're ready to go!

I have fell in love with my Keurig 2.0 so much that I actually just got rid of our old coffee maker and have made the commitment to the Keurig line of products.

The only downside to these machines is that you can no longer use the older style K-cups or the reusable cups inside the machines. There are ways around this and you can you tube how to "trick" the machine to still be able to use these. Up to you if you want to get into all that and are super crafty with those types of abilities. The reason I disagree with this is they need to come out with something that is reusable to make this product more environmentally friendly since as of now you are just throwing away K-cup after K-cup. Please make this product more green instead of trying to get every dime out people by forcing them to buy the K-cups.

Long story short.....check this thing out. Its pretty amazing!

VS Sports Tester (Product Review)

Hey y'all! Recently I received a Victoria's Secret VoxBox from Influenster in the mail & I was so excited! The box itself came with several 25% off  VS sport item coupons, a sports bra, & exercise pants. Just like when you get anything new, I immediately had to try it on & it fit very well! I decided I would wait to write my review until I was able to try it out further and also after I at least washed it one time to see how the fabric would hold up. I was pleasantly surprised that after washing it, the fabric was still like brand new. It is made with extremely sturdy fabric, especially being that it is relatively affordable exercise clothing. That also leads me however to my only complaint about the product.....it is slightly uncomfortable to wear while actually working out. It holds everything in place almost a little too well, at least for my taste. These sports cloths will absolutely not double as "couch pants" or anything you would really want to wear for any other purpose but to exercise in. Now that may be great, but it is just something I would want to be aware of before I ran out and purchased a $50 pair of workout pants. The upside is like I said it holds everything in and gives you a lot of support, especially the pants in comparison to other brands. I also LOVE the patterns that you can choose from and all of it is very stylish.

TLC VoxBox (rocks!)

I received my TLC VoxBox a week ago & I was so excited about the products inside! Especially the fact they were extremely useful items (& full size!). Included was a sample pack of Puffs, Neosporin to Go, Ivory soap, Avon Anew foundation cream, a Shell gas rewards card, & the best part, FREE GELATO! I haven't had an opportunity to use a few of the items, but most I have. I will say the caramel gelato was to DIE for (definite diet ruiner) & the Avon has been a cool product to try. Influenster is an awesome program & I LOVE being able to try new products & review them. It's nice to get a sample & decide whether you would buy it again.
