Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics

Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics

  

I am apart of a fantastic community that gets to test products complimentary in exchange for product reviews. This community is called www.Influenster.com You can find them on facebook http://www.facebook.com/Influenster and on Twitter https://twitter.com/Influesnter Influenster.com is where you can go and find real reviews from real people.

I received the Sunkissed VoxBox a few weeks back giving me plenty of time to really test out Goody's Ouchless Ribbon Elastics I was a little leery at first when I saw these at the store. From the first glance I would have to say they look like they are too large and  wouldn' t have any strength to actually hold your hair in a simple pony tail. I also thought that they would be too large for my toddlers hair. Not to mention I thought they would slip out of my hair if I went jogging being that I have a lot of hair.

After putting Goody's Ouchless Ribbon Elastics to the test I have to say all of my prior judgments were completely  incorrect. I am greatful for the opportunity to try and test these because I would not otherwise have known how great these are. I tested these out on my squirmy toddler who hates when I take out her pony tails because other hair bands have pulled and snagged her hair. These Ouchless Ribbons Elastics look so cute in my daughters hair and there is no snagging no hair pulling and no sacrificing a secure hold on a little ones pony tail. 

I have used a friend of mine as a hair model in exchange I gave her a Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastic because how else do you show your friends how great they are. You share the things you love or at least I do.  

Every single Picture I have are all only using the Ouchless Ribbon Elastics. With the summer at hand it's nice to be able to pull up your hair and have a style. I love these ouchless ribbon elastics are cute and come in 5 great colors and only cost you between $3.99 - $4.99 you can find these stylish ouchless ribbon elastics just about everywhere but here's a couple links for you to check out on your own:

I have a very amateur video shot by my 10 year nephew giving instructions how to create the above look.

Olay Fresh Effects

  

Olay Fresh Effects BB cream

I am a Proud member of www.Influenster.com Being apart of influenster you get perks like trying trying FULL sized products for free. I am recently reviewing a few products from the SunVoxBox program. Inside of this box I received a full size tube of Olay Fresh Effects. 

Such an amazing product. Olay Fresh Effects {BB Cream} skin perfecting tinted moisturizer with spf 15 retails for about $12.99, it comes in a 2.5 fluid ounce tube, and comes in 2 shades fair/light and light/medium.

What I love about Olay Fresh Effects BB cream is that you only need one color all year long this moisturizer is tinted and no colored so it only has to be basically matched to your skin type and being that is summer I have been spending a lot of time in the sun and my skin has been pertected and looking Fresh and Flawless with out a lot of makeup. 

Olay Fresh Effects BB cream has 6 Benefits that helps with perfecting your skin

1. Refreshes

2. Brightens 

3. Evens Tone

4. Hydrates 

5. Smoothes

6. Protects

During the summer is if your anything like me, You try not to wear a lot of makeup and try to play up your natural beatuy not only cause we should love the skin we are in but because its just uncomfortable to wear makeup in the hot blazing sun while trying to have fun. Its truly one less thing to worry about your skin is hydrated, protected for harmful UV rays that ages us and could increase our risk of getting skin cancer, and i find my skin feeling soft and looking a little brighter after each use. 

The Directions are simple as pie.

1. Apply liberally to your skin 15 mins before sun exposure

2. Re- Apply every 2 hours ( which is simple since its mostly a lotion it doesn't need a mirror to apply)

Here's a little bit about about Olay's history. I love how this unique lotion came about. It's actually a love story. A man named Graham Wulff saw that his wife Dinah was unhappy with the thick, waxy beauty creams of the times that came in shoe polish tins that only left her skin feeling greasy. This was not a very feminine feeling. So Dinah's husband wanted to create a beauty product that left her feeling moisturized feminine and beautiful. 

Olay began their journey in the 1950's  and although the company was sold by the original creators it still hasn't lost the integrity and quality from which it has started. 

This is just my view of the Fresh Effects and history. Go ahead and check out the website for your self www.olayfresheffects.com 

If your interested in finding out where to purchase this go to  www.olayfresheffects.com or go to http://www.amazon.com 

Now for the fun part. Here are some pictures I have taken with my Fresh Effects

Here is my before and after Picture.

I got a little silly with my pictures  but what i loved about it was getting a comment from Fresh Effects instagram account. 

Olay is a brand my mother passed down to me and is a brand I can pass down to my daughter.

Use your Fresh Effects Poolside but remember to apply every 2 hours for maximum benefits. the awesome thing about this shade it that only one of those people in the pool need a lighter shade. :)

Take your Olay every where and stay protected from the suns harsh UV rays.

If your interested I also made a vine video of how easy my routine with fresh effects is.

NECTRESSE

Nectresse Natural Sweetner is 100% natural zero calorie and made from monk fruit. This product contains no sacralose. Monk fruit is 150x sweeter then sugar.  Think nectresse is only for your coffee or tea? Well let me open your mind a bit. 

You can use nectresse for baking too.  1/4 teaspoon is the equivalent to 1 teaspoon of sugar. Try it as a substitute in anything and everything like breakfast pancakes, pies, beverages, sauces like tomato sauce, enchilada sauce and much much more. 

I really tried to bake a pancake/ crepe sort of thing but it was a disaster. Ha ha Some people are great chef's and others are great eaters i fall into the eater category  Although I have had my husband add it to the spaghetti sauce to cut the bitter and I have used it in my enchilada sauce and it worked great compared to the sugar I usually would use. I also tried it on my bitter strawberries and it taste great! 

I received a box of Nectresse complimentary from Influenster and definitely will be buying this again for my beverages.

For more information please go check out their website at http://www.nectresse.com/home You can follow them on facebook and to read some of the reviews from others who have tried this please look here http://www.influenster.com/review/nectresse-natural-no-calorie-sweetener

Colgate Optic White

First off I have to say is wow! I have been using Colgate optic white for about 3 weeks now and I feel so much more confident in my smile I really never used to smile with my teeth as you can see in the pic I posted below. Since I have been using the Colgate optic white system I received complimentary from Influenster I have noticed that my teeth are 3 shades lighter and my breath is so much fresher then its ever been morning breath is such a thing of the past. I feel more confident giving morning kisses to my love first thing in the morning.

Let me add that I am a smoker and dedicated coffee drinker so the thought of anything making my teeth whiter and younger looking as well as freshening my breath was very enticing to me. Although I started off thinking it really wouldn't be that successful in doing what it says it does. And with trying this in a dedicated routine of twice a day it has really helped. thank you Colgate optic white.

Sugar 'n Spice VoxBox

I am an Influenster, which means I get to try products complimentary in exchange for my honest reviews. 

I received a SUGAR 'N SPICE VOXBOX  in March filled with all the goodies in the pictures below including Belvita breakfast biscuits, Colgate 360 Optic White Toothbrush, Colgate Optic White Toothpaste, Colgate Optic White Mouthwash, Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel oil control towelettes, Spenda Nectresse, and Vaseline's Spray and Go total moisturizer.

Belvita Breakfast Biscuit's are great they aren't empty calories, like most cookies have. These are a great source of fiber, whole grains and vitamin b's.

I like to crumble them  up and pour the crumbs over my low fat yogurt for that extra something my breakfast needs.  Studies show that people who are dieting benefit greatly by choosing the quality carbohydrates and eating breakfast in the morning. By eating belvita breakfast biscuits i found that I had felt filled and not weighed down by eating too much of the wrong foods. Each pack contains 4 breakfast biscuits and comes in  5 different flavors Golden Oats, Blueberry, Apple cinnamon, Cinnamon brown suger, and Chocolate.

Colgate Optic White Regimen is pretty awesome. I am a coffee drinker and a cigarette smoker so i really thought there can't be something that works so quickly to whiten my teeth and after trying Colgate Optic White Regimen I found that seriously in about a week and a half I have gotten whiter teeth.  On the site it says whiter in as little as 5 days and it's true. here's Colgate's web link so you can go take a look for yourself http://www.colgate.com/app/ColgateOralCare/Whitening/ColgateOpticWhite/US/EN/Product.cwsp

Vaseline Spray and Go total moisturizer is a great product. It comes out in one continuous spray so you can put on a thin layer of lotion that isn't greasy or gunky and absorbs in seconds. I love using this on my whole family especially my daughter she likes the fun part of getting sprayed as well as rubbing in the lotion. It smells great and doesn't leave you feeling like you have a film of gunk it actually absorbs in. for more information go http://www.vaseline.us/products/vaseline-spray-go/default.aspx and to read some reviews from others who have tried vaseline spray and go http://www.influenster.com/review/vaseline-spray-go-moisturizer

Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel is such a fantastic product and with the convenience of individual towelettes  you can take these anywhere with you for an easy fresh up. My nice and nephew drove 16 hours to my house from Oregon and on their way back I made sure I sent them with some cause i know there's nothing ickier then a rest stop to freshen up.  You can buy these anywhere for about $5.99. These packets are great for the big amusement park trips because they help soothe sunburns as well as those pesky mosquito bits. check out their website for more information http://www.dickinsonsusa.com/natural-advantage and for product reviews from others who have tried this please check out influensters web site product reviews http://www.influenster.com/review/dickinsons-original-witch-hazel-oil-controlling-towelettes

cookie recipe

I found this yummy recipe and thought I would share it with everyone.

Crunchy Nut Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies, all credit for these goes to Baking Blonde the only thing I did different was add other mix-ins

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1/2 cup peanut butter (I used Adam’s No Stir Peanut Butter) (128 grams)

1 cup brown sugar (220 grams)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 tablespoon milk

2 cups all purpose flour (240 grams)

1/2 cup quick cooking oats (40 grams)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

about 1/3-1/2 cup—(that’s all I had left) peanut butter chips (83 grams)

1 cup milk chocolate chips (6 ounces)

1 cup Crunchy Nut Cereal (54 grams)

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and peanut butter.  Once combined, beat in the sugar until well blended, about 2 minutes.  Scrape sides of bowl.  Add the egg, egg yolk, milk and vanilla and beat until smooth and well  blended.

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.  Add to the creamed mixture and mix until almost combined.  Fold in the oats and mix-ins just until combined.  Chill the dough at least 60 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Scoop walnut sized balls of dough on parchment lined baking sheets.  Bake for 8-10 minutes (I then pressed down each cookie with the back of a spatula and baked 2 more minutes.)  Remove from oven and cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. 

here's where I found it from. Let me know if anyone makes them.
