Holiday VoxBox 2012

I was pretty excited to receive a holiday voxbox from influenster. I just signed up for influenster in the begining of december and qualified for my first voxbox just a couple days later.

I recieved my goodies on christmas eve. It was definately a cool suprise. The holiday voxbox included seven different items.

1. Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal They sell for $1.79 per cup. I love how convenient it is to make it has the right amount oatmeal, whole grain oats, rye, barley, fruit, and nuts to get you full. And you can enjoy it anywhere anytime perfect for on the go people.

2. NYC New York Liquid Lipshine
$2.49 per gloss. Its non sticky super glossy for that wet lip look. Its made with vitamin Eso it moisturizes your lips and comes in 10 different shades from neutral to berries and fuschias.

3. Kiss Nail Dress
$6.99 per set. These I think are pretty cool I never would of bought these for myself, but after trying them I realize doing my own nails have never been easier to do there is no fuss with wet polish and waiting for them to dry its a simple sticker and already has nail art in it for the 3 dimensional jeweled designs. And very easy to remove with out stinky remover. Great buy.

4. Eboost
$28 for a box of 20 effervescent powders, $39 for a box of 30, or $39 for a box of 12 shots. Eboost will boost your mood focus and immunity with natural ingredients with no crash.

5. Goody Quikstyle Paddle brush
$11.99. This brush is pretty cool it has absorbent microfiber bristles that remove 30% of water as you style your hair. It's like brushing a towel through your hair. a very convenient concept and works great too.

6. Sole Society
A coupon for $25 off your first purchase. The shoes start at about $49.99 there are tons of styles to chose from. The code is influenster25 at check out. Share this code with your friends.

7. Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask
Under $2. Made with natural ingredients they come single use size for every skin care need.

Every thing I received was completely awesome and I definitely will be buying some more Quaker Real medleys oatmeal really soon.

If you have tried these products let me know what your favorite one is.

Stella Artois Chalice review

This weekend I had the chance to enjoy a great tasting lager Called Stella Artois, from their specially designed chalice.

Let me tell you a little I learned about the special Stella Artois chalice. Not only is it nice to look at and stylish to drink out of it its curved glass is designed to help the beer flow, breathe and develops a perfect head.

The perfect head retention improves the flavor of  Stella Artois.

The way the glass angles at the bottom of the glass causes the beer to wave which positively affects the relation of the liquid to the glass and it enhances your beer.

Being that this is no regular tall glass and has a signature star stem it give you a place to hold your beer thus not letting your hands warm the glass and the beer so it stays cold longer.

Next I would like to share the nine step Belgian pouring ritual. First off Stella Artois should be served between 36 and 38 degree Fahrenheit.

Step 1. The Chill

Step 2. The Purification

Step 3. The Unveiling

Step 4. The Alchemy begins

Step 5. The Crown

Step 6. The Beheading

Step 7. The Judgement

Step 8. The Bestowal

I personally loved drinking from the chalice it really does make a difference in taste. I took a couple drinks from the bottle to make sure. :)

I am a bzzagent so I was lucky enough to be chosen to try this chalice for free. If anyone is interested in getting one for your friends or family as gifts or to just have some at home for yourself, you can buy them here: www.budshop.com

There's a video of the Chalice factory you should take a look at too.

Once you learn the nine step Belgian pouring ritual tests your friends and bartenders on how much they know about pouring a beer.

Afrin bzz kit

I am a bzzagent and today
I just got my afrin bzzkit and it came with coupons for $3 off so if you would like to try it let me know.
Being a bzzagent means I get to try new products and give a review on what I think of them, and pass along savings and sometimes samples for you to try.

I just tried afrin no drip and pleased that it has allowed me breathe through both nostrils and there really was no drip, Yay.  The big test will be tonight when I go bed tonight hopefully I will get to sleep better. I will let you know know.

Afrin hopefully comes to the recuse

Recently my seasonal allergies have gotten really bad. I have been able to get through them in the past but this year I have really noticed that I can barely breathe through one nostril all night.

I don't know if its cause the gardeners have recently trimmed the plants around my house or cause its been windy but my snorring really makes my baby mad at night and she constantly gets woken up all night which is awful for me since I an the one who gets up with her. and since I am not sleeping well any way what does it really matter if I have someone to hang out with. Haha oh well.

The cool this is I am a bzzagent and I get to try new products with bzzagent and they give me coupons and samples for me to give out for others to try. recently I accepted a bzz champaign for afrin nasal spray I hope it comes to the recuse and helps me breathe.

I have checked out their website www.afrin.com and really liked what I saw. They have a jazzy look to the website and a video. I added the link take a look for your self. They have coupons there if any one is interested to try it before my kit arrives.

I am excited to test this product out

Burts bees intense hydration review for bzzagent

I am a bzzagent. This means I get to try products for free and submit reports and reviews on what I think about the products. I also get to give samples and money saving coupons to people who would like to try these products.

I had a chance to review burts bees intense hydration cream cleanser, night cream, and mask.

I used it faithful for about three weeks and saw such a huge improvement in my skin. The fine lines in the corners of my eyes started to lessen by the end of the first week. I was super excited over this cause I felt it made me look older and now my skin looks more rejuvenated.

I would have my fiancé do masks with me twice a week and he started loving the way it made it easier to shave with softer skin.
He also loved how his nose stopped getting chapped from blowing his nose. And might I add it was a life saver when I had gotten sick I managed to stay away from that red chapped nose thats so embarrassing you can't hide from.

I recommend this product to any one who likes a quality product that uses natural ingredients and isn't petrolyum based so your skin actually benefits from instead of masks. Might I add it is reasonably priced and you can find it at most mass retailers. Check them out at www.burtsbees.com and on facebook.com/burtsbees

If you like to let me know what you like about their products please leave a comment.

Irritated this morning

So my fiances brother lives with us and he has a drinking problem. Well actually he doesn't have a problem with it I do.  Every night he gets messed he does things where he thinks he's hungry and makes the most disgusting food things even a pregnat woman wouldn't even want, that doesn't really bother me what does is the crap he leaves in his path from the kitchen to his bedroom.

He is forty five and still can't wipe off the counter when he's done cooking I understand about the dishes he can't wash them right anyway I rather him not do those.

So in the middle of the night if I have to make a bottle I have to clean off the counter which is fustrating cause I have a screaming baby impatiently waiting. Then it gets worse cause I walk down the same hallway to get back to my room and if I was lucky enough not to step on food he dropped on the way to the kitchen the rule is I step in it on the way back.

Uugghh then his disregard for anything other then his alcohol just makes me mad especially when the baby is napping and he has to talk on the phone in his room so he can wake up the baby with his loud voice, because we all know alcoholics don't have volume control for their voices.

Ok so there is my rant. All and all my soon to be brother in law is great when he isn't drunk. its just that plus a couple of other things that just get under my skin.

What I love to walk in on moments like these

My 16 month old daughter is getting two of her molars right now so of course trying to put her to bed at a resonable hour is out of the question. She just won't go sleep before midnight we have tried everything from putting her down earlier, being consistant with night time rituals, soothing bath, soft music being in the room with her, not being in the room, getting her up earlier, not letting her take a nap (which is the worst thing cause then she has a bad attitude from being extra tired) the list goes on and on.

Sometimes I just need a break from the insanity and chaos. My fiance tries but lacks the patience a mother has. So here's how he figured out to get her to bed.

Our baby girl loves to watch her daddy play video games at night she climbs in his lap and tries to help press the buttons and I think her eyes get really heavy from watching to tv. But before you know she's out like a light. Of course if I am in the room with them it doesn't work or even if I try that approach myself it would never work.

But I love to walk into the room and unexpectantly see such a beautiful sight.

starting my blog

here is where is going to start putting my thoughts, creations, reviews, opinions and rants hopefully i get feed back or even your two cents on what i am going through
