Loreal Makeup

                   I received yet another *FREE* VoxBox to test out products from Influenster. This time I was given a few products by Loreal. This is by far one of my favorite boxes. I think so far the only one that tops this box was the Keriug. Anyway it was all eye makeup. I got a couple shades of eye shadow, an eyebrow kit, eye liner, mascara, and probably my new favorite product, primer!! I absolutely love the primer. It helped enhance my lashes so much. I have gotten so many comments and compliments about my eye lashes. I will definitely be purchasing these products in the future. I have no complaints with any of them. I thought they worked well and were reasonable priced.

Influenster Keurig VoxBox

       
Who doesn't love opening a huge box on their front porch, especially when the contents inside the box were sent to you for FREE? That's right I said FREE! I got this box for free because I agreed to use and rate the product fairly. I have to say this is probably one of my favorite products right now! It is so small and takes up hardly any room, which is what I was most concerned with when I saw the size of the box. It fits right on my counter and we leave it out all the time. I love how quickly the water warms up and the tea or coffee brews. It blows my mind because I am used to having a regular coffee pot and having that take forever. The only thing I wish was that larger cups/ mugs could fit under it. Other than that I would highly recommend this product to friends and family! Thanks again Influenster and Keurig!!!

Influenster box #AirbrushPerfectLegs

Hey fellow bloggers,

I was once again chosen to test out products for FREE, that's right people I said for FREE! This time I am testing out Airbrush Legs by Sally Hansen. I must say I was a bit skeptical when I received this tiny little box in the mail, but this little product is incredible. I have always had problems with my legs being "too white" and this product makes them a little darker without going over the top. It is a tad messy and the liquid is very runny. Its dries fairly quickly and doesn't leave marks behind, Evening and smoothing it out was a little challenging, but definitely worth it. As much as I like this product it probably won't be regular purchase considering that it's almost that time of year to wear pants and leggings all the time, but come next summer I'll probably get a tube. 

*Side note it stung a little bit when I put it on, but I didn't have a reaction or anything to it so it much have just been because my legs are super sensitive to EVERYTHING*

Just a reminder I am not being paid or having to pay to test out these products that Influenster is sending my way.

#XOVoxBox Influenster

As an Influenster I am given the responsibility of testing out and sharing how I liked the products... So here goes nothing! I was sent the #XoVoxBox which contained some very neat and helpful stuff. I got Whitening tooth paste and gel for my teeth. I have not completely used it all up yet, but I could tell a difference after a couple of days. However, the taste was absolutely disgusting so I wouldn't recommend using it all the time! I was also sent some John Frieda products. The anti-frizz shampoo, conditioner, and hair cream worked pretty well. I had no problems with that stuff, it smelled pretty good and it seemed to work. Too bad the bottle wasn't bigger guess I'll just have to out and buy some more! I also received some Skinfix hand cream, it smelled awful, but it works wonders. I would suggest it even though it smells bad right away the smell goes away within a few seconds or you just get used to it. It has made my hands a lot softer and they feel good. I LOVED the Tide pods. They smelled amazing and they worked so well. When I start buying laundry items I will definitely be putting those pods in my cart.I did not order and AdoreMe items. As an Influenster I am not paid to receive these products. I test them out for free and give my feedback.

Influenster

So I recently signed up for this super sweet website that sends you things to test out for free. I was selected  a couple weeks ago to test out a Victoria's Secret Sport VoxBox. I am so far enjoying the leggings and the FREE sports bra they sent me. Be sure to sign up and possibly win free things after answering some questions about your lifestyle.

Overcoming Adversity with Technology

Birgit

Birgit has something called ALS or more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.  The disease ALS  disease  is scientifically known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis which is the loss of use of muscles because they are deteriorating. Birgit uses a system called the My Tobii P10 that helps her communicate with her husband, son, and friends. She controls the communication with her eye because she can no longer use her voice. She can now ask the doctor questions where before she often left the doctor's office confused and frustrated becasue she couldn't ask about things. Birgit says "It is important to me that people respect me for the person I am. I have regained a small part of my life with MyTobii, and I have gained access to several new possibilities that I am trying to take advantage of. It is impossible to describe how it feels to once again be able to talk with my husband and 20-year-old son—it has made a huge improvement to my quality of life."
