Some Influenster's were lucky and received this mat in there Mom VoxBox! I was : ( sad to open my box and see that i hadn't received this Drying Mat! I really wanted to get one! I have used this product before and loved it. I believe while i was moving it was lost : (. I will defiantly be buying another one sometime soon. These Drying Mat's are great. They have a lot of different uses for them. I am thinking about getting a couple to use all through my house in my bathrooms,kitchen, under my cats food bowls. You can't go wrong with this product.

Dino Lingo

2012-07-15T02:19:00.000-04:00

I was not one of the lucky ones that got this product in there Mom VoxBox : ( they did however give me a link for my child to preview it : ). Thank you so much Influenster.com for allowing me to test products, I love your company! I am sad that I did not receive it in my VoxBox because my children really enjoyed watching it! I have never seen them so into T.V. They didn't even realize they were learning a new language. I will have to order this set for them. I have included a video of my one of my Daughters after she watched Dino Lingo in Spanish. She loved watching it. Normally when she watch's T.V. she is always doing something else (not with Dino Lingo) this child was glued to the television. I am really impressed with how quick they picked up on the words, i believe all the pictures and the dinosaur jumping around helped a lot! Every time they say a word they show a picture of that word! Dino Lingo has 30 different language sets. These are the languages they have English, Spanish, Korean, Russian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (European), Japanese, Dutch, Swedish, Greek, Italian, Turkish, Finnish, Latin, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Urdu, Vietnamese, Thai, Tagalog (Filipino), Persian, German, French, Bahasa (Indonesian), Irish (Gaelic), Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Bulgarian. In today's world it's great to know more then one language! If you would like more info just visit: http://dinolingo.com/languages/free_lesson.html.. You can also try it out by visiting this website. This is a really great investment! Plus your child will have a lot of fun learning with this product. I know mine sure did!

The Many Uses of Ivory

2012-07-15T00:37:00.002-04:00

This is the Ivory Bar Soap I received in my Mom VoxBox 2012 from Influenster.com ( This Ivory Bar Soap was sent to me for free to test and give my opinion on).I want to Thank Influenster for allowing me to test products.If you are not sure what Influenster.com is a product testing site and you can earn badges that interest you (they have badges from Blogger to Mom and everything in between)! All you do to earn a badge is fill out the questioner (which in fact does not take that long,maybe a total of 5 Min's, really is worth 5-10 Min's.) that opens when you click on a badge.

Now based on the badges you have unlocked, if they have a VoxBox coming out for that badge and its also based on where you live! Influenster.com is a great site you will be very happy you joined! There is so many uses for Ivory bar soap and I am going to show you some of them! I don't like using bar soap to clean myself (I am a body wash type of girl)! But this are some of the things I used my Ivory Bar Soap for! So let's get started...

I used it to clean my makeup brushes. It left them clean and smelling great! When I first got it out of my VoxBox I didn't like the way it smelled, well let's just say that has changed. (Not sure if it was the wrapper smell, but once i opened it i loved the smell.) Now my makeup brushes are clean and ready to use again.

I seen a video on YouTube about microwaving a bar or even parts of the Ivory Bar soap. So i figured i would give it a try. I used a half of bar of Ivory and put it in the microwave for 1 minute. It is said that the people who made the soap stirred it to long which caused air pockets. Once the heat from the microwave hit the air pockets it causes them to spread and the Ivory soap expands as the air pockets expand. "Not a scientist so don't know how to explain it in real detail!) Here is what it looked like once i took it out!

It feels soft and crumbles once touched. I think this is really cool that it does this! I would have never thought to put soap in the microwave.. Cool huh?

Unlike any other soap bar Ivory floats in water while others sink! I have found many uses for Ivory Bar soap! The picture at the top of this blog is a picture of where I cut the Ivory bar soap into a heart shape for my daughters to use. The really enjoyed bathing with it seeing it was heart shaped! Hope you enjoyed my post on Ivory Bar soap! If there is anything more you would like to know about Ivory Bar soap please visit: http://www.influenster.com/Product-Reviews/Ivory-Soap!

imPRESS Press On Manicure

2012-07-13T02:19:00.002-04:00

On to the imPRESS press on manicure that I received through Influenster.com too review and give my honest opinion on (I did NOT spend any of my own money on this product), I really enjoyed these. The only thing i wish was different is that they stuck better! For some odd reason my ring finger nail kept falling off : ( but other then that i loved how easy and fast they went on! It took me a total of 5 minutes that includes wiping my nails with the towelette wipe that came in the box of imPRESS nails to applying them. These are spectacular for on the go Moms like myself! I don't have much time to sit and paint my nails and wait for them to dry, then apply a top coat and wait for that to dry! All you have to do with these is open package and clean nails with wipe then take off the clear sticker and apply to nails. How easy is that? They have 36 different styles for you to choose from. I will include links below for you to visit, so you can find out more info and choose a style for you! Don't forget to follow my blog for more product reviews to come!

2012-07-10T23:34:00.003-04:00

This is one of the free products I received through Influenster Mom VoxBox to review and give my honest opinion on, if you don't know about Influenster.com please visit their site and open an account! I want to Thank Influenster for allowing me to test products. My Daughter and I had to split it (of course she had to have the bigger half!) Quaker Soft Baked Cookies are great for on the go. All 3 of my kids love them. I have also got my Mom and Sisters hooked : )! I got a box after getting one in my Mom VoxBox and the whole box was gone within an hour. I know a lot of people were saying the would have rather had the Chocolate one! I don't care much for Chocolate so I was fine with Raisins (which I love anyways)! When they say these are soft baked they weren't lying, they could almost melt in your mouth! If you would like more info on this delicious soft baked cookie visit http://www.influenster.com/Product-Reviews/Quaker-Soft-Baked-Oatmeal-Cookies!!

2012-06-26T04:08:00.000-04:00

Disclaimer: I did not spend my money on any of these products! I received them free through Influenster.com to try out and give my honest opinion on the products!

I am so excited I finally got my Mom Vox Box in! I couldn't wait to open it and see what goodies I received this time! To be honest I thought they would have different products than what they had! "But I can't complain it was free"! Before we move on let me explain a bit about Influenster.com! It's a site where you can sign up and open badges based on interests of yours, they will then send you a box based on your badges! No credit card information to enter, none of that! Just sign up, unlock badges! Here is a list of what came in the Mom Vox Box...

Ivory Bar Soap: $4.27 for a 10-pack bath size bars!
DenTek Comfort Clean & Fun Flossers:$1.99 to $2.99 for a full pack!
Stash Tea Superfruits Tea Sampler and Nektar Sweetener: $3.50!
Quaker Soft Baked Cookie:$2.69 for box of 6!
imPRESS Press-On Manicure By Broadway Nails:$5.99 to $7.99

Let's get started on what I thought of each product! When I first seen the Ivory Soap I knew I wouldn't like it! I don't care for bar soaps at all! The smell was not what I like to smell like... I decided I would give it a try just to see if maybe it would grow on me, well it didn't my skin felt so dry after using it after drying off I had to get back in the shower and was with my normal body wash! So the Ivory Soap was not a hit for me!!

DenTek Comfort Clean & Fun Flossers, I already use both of these products. I can't say enough good things about the DenTek Comfort Clean! They leave my teeth feeling clean, plus made me feel good that it had fluoride added! Now my kids will on use the Fun Flossers. They absolutely adore them. I have been flossing their teeth since they got them in! I am a very anal person when it comes to teeth "I must add"! They love that it has flavor to them I enjoy them too LOL! My son is 5 and my twin girl's are 4! I am trying to teach them to floss on their own; but I would rather them let me do it so it's done right! The Fun Flossers are small and easy for them to hold and the flossing string is very thin! There is nothing I can honestly say I don't like about them!

Now on to the Stash Tea Superfruits Tea Sampler & NekTar Sweetener! I am drinking the Tea while writing this blog, the flavor is Blueberry Superfruit and I have added the NekTar Honey Crystals... Normal I don't care much for Hot Tea! But I have to say the Blueberry with Honey Crystals added is delicious.. I believe I am now addicted. I can't wait to try the others! I did wet my finger and sneak a taste of the NekTar honey crystals ; ) (shh) it's really good to be 100% Natural! It's also naturally gluten free,GMO free, and a big plus in my book it's made in the U.S.A! I will not be complaining when it comes to either of these products! IT'S A MUST TRY!!!

OH MY GOODNESS! This baby is so good! Only complaint I have is they only sent 1 : ( ... I am a huge fan of Oatmeal Raisin anything! My Daughter and I shared this "she begged so I had to share the goodness!" Right? She was ecstatic when I told her Yes... Needless to say this poor cookie didn't last long at all! This is another must try if you love Oatmeal raisin like I do!

I have seen a lot of reviews on these baby's! But I have yet to purchase them and try for myself... I got Velvet Rope and normally I am not a big purple fan; but I do like these! They are kinda like fake nails but different in a way! The are not hard like fake nails, the are soft and bendable... So far I like them pretty good, other than my ring finger nail kept coming off : ( ! The come with 24 nail covers in 12 different sizes! I would love to try Chic Mystique, Lil Drumr Grl,Shout,Vamp it up, and Wink Wink! They come in 36 different shades and designs! I don't think they are worth $5.99 to $7.99 for that price I could buy my a bottle of finger nail polish that will last a lot longer then a week! So I am not sure if I will be buying more! Depends on if they grow on me or not!

China Glaze Poolside Collection Review

2012-06-04T15:07:00.000-04:00

Left to Right! Flip Flop Fantasy, Towel Boy Toy, Sun Worshiper, Kiwi Cool-ADA, Pool Party, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.
When I first saw this collection, I had to have them! I wanted some bright colors! They look like they would be really bright and colorful and what girl doesn't like bright and colorful right? These colors in this collection are very transparent and have a matte finish "which I don't really care for"! So if your like me make sure to have a shiny top coat ready. Also to make the colors pop more you could use a white nail polish as a base coat. Tried this technique when I painted my toenails using Pool Party and it really made the color brighter! Below I will rate this on a transparent scale 1-being very transparent and 3-being not at all transparent " Judgement based on a single coat". *Flip Flop Fantasy- I really like this color it's a baby pink color.. I would give it a 1 on the transparent scale. *Towel Boy Toy- I wouldn't consider it a neon blue. You will defiantly need more the one coat! I tried it with 2 and 3. To me the color looked better with 2 coats. On the transparent scale I would give it a 1. *Sun Worshiper-Wish it had more orange coloring to it! I would give it a 2 on the transparent scale. *Kiwi Cool-Ada- It's a really pretty color. 3 coats would defiantly would be needed. On the transparent scale I would give it a 1. *Pool Party- As I stated earlier this is the one i used a white nail polish under. It turned out really pretty! I would give it a 3 on the transparent scale. *Yellow Polka Dot Bikini-It's a very pretty yellow. On the transparent scale i would give it a 1.

From Left to right-Flip Flop Fantasy, Towel Boy Blue, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Kiwi Cool-Ada, Pool Party... (Not Pictured is Sun Worshiper) These are all using a single layer!

olor just leave me a comment and i will try my best to get those up for you! <3

I do have a couple of these that are my favorite those being Pool Party, Flip Flop Fantasy, Towel Boy Blue! If you want to know anything else or see more pictures of a certain color just leave a comment!! Be Kind and subscribe if you enjoy my blogs!! Thanks.
