Rose Vox Box from Influenster

I was so excited to find out I was getting a Rose Vox Box to review from Influenster. Influenster is a free to join community of invited trendsetters who live to give opinions of products and experiences.  I love Influenster, there product reviews are so helpful especially if it is a product I have not tried before. Wither I am on the fence about a product or think it might not be right for me. I know I can go to Influenster and there will be real women giving me there real opinions about the product. I can see why they love it, why they hate it, ect... The products in this Vox Box are great. They are from trusted brands,and can be purchased anywhere. Here is what came in the box, and if anyone is interested in joining Influenster please leave me a comment and I will be sure to send you an invite.

                                                           Here is the awesomeness!!!

 I got the Rimmel Scandaleyes  Retro Glam mascara in black. I am not a full face of make-up kind of girl, but liner and mascara are a must. I had not really given Rimmel a thought before and boy am I sorry about that, because I have been missing out. This mascara is awesome it is not clumpy, it does not irritate my eyes, and best of all it came off easily when I washed my face. For the way it makes my eyes look and the awesome price point (CVS has it for $6.99 not of sale) the Rimmel Scandaleyes is now a staple in the make-up bag. I can't say love enough on this.

 This is the Vitabath hydrating Lotion in Ivy ans Lily scent. It is a very nice moisturizer. It is thick and creamy. The scent I thought when I first put it on was a bit strong, and maybe even a bit masculine. As I continued to smell it it really started to grow on me. As a moisturizer it is great I have very sensitive skin and I used it on my legs after shaving. That is something I don't usually do, because of burning or irritation. I had no problem it made my legs soft and me smell great. This is another product that will always be in the house. I can not wait to try the other scents and products in this line.

 This is the Kiss Gradation Polishes, and they are so cool. I can really do this at home by myself. It was so easy. I am a stay at home mom to a one year old, so getting to the salon to have my nails done is not high on the list of things to do.  So it is nice to have a product I can use at home that makes me feel pretty, and stylish. It  is so needed some times. I did this and it looked like I had been to have my nailed done. It was really quick, and easy to do.It took me about 20 min the first time I used it. I followed the very simple to use directions on the package. It could not have been easier to do and my nails look great if I don't say so myself.

 These are the BelVita Breakfast Biscuits in Blueberry. These go everywhere with me. My one year old loves these to. I can just toss a pack in the diaper bag, and we can eat on the run. It is nice to have something I can open, and share with him. I feel good about giving BelVita to him, because I know they are nutritious. I also know he is not going to make a huge mess with them, because the biscuits are not to crumbly, which was never a concern of mine until I had a child....lol. I have been eating these for a while and I think they are wonderful, and taste delicious no matter which flavor you get.

 Lindt's Lindor Milk Chocolate truffles are some of my most favorite things in the world to eat. So I was super excited to see them in the box. No matter what flavor you like best you will always find them smooth and creamy. Needless to say they did not last long once out of the box.

These are Dr. Scholl's for her Cozy Cushions fuzzy boot insert.  I live in the south so I have not tried these yet but I love The Dr. Scholl's for her product line so I can not wait to try these. They are obliviously fuzzy and the bottoms are super soft and springy. My feet are so excited about these...lol

 This box exceeded my expectations. All of the products are products I will get, and recommend to everyone. I would again like to thank Influenster, Dr. Scholl's, BelVita, Kiss, Rimmel, Lindt, and Vitabath for giving me the opportunity to review these awesome products. Tabitha

Birch Box

I finally joined Birch Box, and here is my first one. I thought it was great. I got four sample items and a full size ChapStick. Let me start by saying how pleasantly surprised I was at the size of the samples. They were definitely a deluxe size sample. As some of you know I love a larger size sample. I like to try it a few times to see if/how it works on me, and wither or not I want to buy a full size product.
  I signed up for my Birch Box and got put on there waiting list. This is totally normal. It only took about two weeks before I got my invite. Even when you are on the waiting list for a box you can still shop from the site, and it is amazing. Birch Boxes web site is packed with every beauty product you could ever want or need. It is incredible, and a bit overwhelming. Especially if you are like me and have no idea what you are looking at or for. Like I had said I got my invite for my box about two weeks after signing up. The box is $10.00 a month, and I was that person hemming and hawing about spending on myself blah blah blah.... Well I did it and I realized a rejuvenated Mommy is a happy Mommy, and if it is only $10.00 to make my month, why not. I know you will think they are as awesome as I do so check them out at Birch Box . These are the very cool products in my box this month.

                                   This is my first Birch Box. As you can see it is titled Beauty Buzz

                                         Here is the opening of the box. It is packed very nicely.

 I know this is hard to see but it is a soap less cleanser by Avene. It is a pH-balanced wash that whisks away impurities with french spring water. My skin has not felt this good in a long time. This is a wonderful product.

 This is Curl Keeper by Curly Hair Solutions. It is a water based, weight less serum that keeps curly shiny, defined, and frizz free. I was not super impressed by this but my hair is wavy not real curly so to me it acted like a gel type product.

 This is Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer Moisturizing Serum by DDF. It is a high tech serum that minimizes pores and softens fine lines with advanced amino peptides. This stuff is amazing. My skin feels so good after washing and applying this, and it may not look it but this sample is large. I will be able to use it for about 2 weeks.

 There was a Stainiac lip stain in Beauty Queen by the Balm Cosmetics. It gives lips and cheeks a sheer rosy tint. This was ok on my lips but, it was to much on my cheeks.

                        I have not used the Chap Stick yet but I am looking forward to doing so soon.

Bondi New York

I received My Bondi New York box today. I am a stay at home mom who does laundry, dishes, and cleaning. Nail polish does not stand a chance on me, so I never look for longevity just pretty colors. I was very happy with the color selection from Bondi. I thought they are on trend, but have some beautiful classic colors. I tried this subscription box because they were running a special deal that you get a box for $1.00. There monthly boxes normally run $19.99 a month with shipping included there are discounts for three and six month subscriptions. There web site is really easy and fun to use, and there customer service is wonderful. I had a shipping question and the gentleman I spoke to was wonderful. I don't know if I will continue my Bondi subscription just because of the price. It is a bit high for just polish, but if you love to do your nails the color selection is great. Check out there web site see what you think. Bondi New York Thank you Tabitha ****UPDATE**** It seams Bondi has hit a snag and has stopped there Subscription boxes. I was looking forward to getting my next box...oh well I will find other awesome boxes for us.

 The colors are Blue Skies, Uptown Girl, and City Slicker all three can be found in the Spring & Summer '13
                                                                          Collection.

Zockster

I got my Zockster socks today and I could not be happier. I actually got the men's Black socks. My feet are a 7 1/2, but they fit my feet very nice. They were not big at all. They have so many sock options I suggest you check out for their web page to see which one works best for you Zockster. The web site is so easy to navigate thru and the customer service is great. You can change your subscription right from the site as well. This option will come in handy when they roll out the new designs...I am so excited about them. I am so happy with these socks there is no stretching, holes, or snagging. There are also no wear patterns on the bottom of the foot. I could not be happier. I really hope you check them out and give them a try. Thanks Tabitha

Nature Box

I received my Nature box this month, and am I ever glad I photographed it as I opened it. There would have been nothing left if I had waited...lol. It was awesome. I received two bags of five different snacks and the box was 29.95. If you do not want two bags of each snack you can get one bag of each for 19.95 a month, but if you want more you can get the big box. It has four bags of each of the five snacks for a total of twenty bags. It is 49.95, and well worth it. The snacks I got this month were amazing.

 I got the Blueberry Nom Noms, they are like an oatmeal cookie with dried blueberries and chocolate chips. They were so delicious.

My husband loved these. They are Cashew Power Clusters. I am not a big cashew fan so I got these for him.

 Then there was Exotic Raw Fruit and Nut, this was my favorite it had raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, pineapple, and so much more...sooo good.

  I received Big Island Pineapple and what can I say they were outstanding sweet, juicy, and real dried pineapple not gummy sugary mess.

 These are Sunshine Chips. They were not what I thought they would be, they are thicker than I expected and I was hoping to give these to my son but they are very hard. They are good though.

Again I can not say enough how much I love Nature Box give them a shot you will to. Thanks Tabitha

Tonx

I received a free 2oz sample of coffee from Tonx today. Tonx is a small group of about 10 people who love coffee, and want to get really great coffee to the masses. I was raised on the stuff in the red can. As I got older I was lucky enough to get a job next to a coffee house, and came to realize not all coffee tasted like old nuts(no pun intended). For the first time I was seeing coffee presses, whole beans, and smelling what good coffee smelled like. After tasting my first espresso I was hooked, and the crappy canned stuff was no longer going to cut it for me. I am not a coffee expert I just know what I like, and I like Tonx. The coffee is wonderful and has a deliciously rich flavor, but it is not bitter.

 Tonx has four different subscription options the first is their free 2 oz potion so you can see if you will like the coffee(you will). The options are The Half Sack it is 6ozs and $12.00. There is The Standard it is $19.00 for 12ozs. Then there is The Double it is $34.00 for 24ozs. They ship out every other week, and shipping is included in the price of the coffee. You will be billed every four weeks for two shipments at a time. When you receive your coffee it will be in whole bean form, so you will need a grinder or a hammer...lol yes I have had to do that I should not laugh....There web site is so very easy to navigate and they have a great Q&A page that will answer any questions you will have. One thing I did find out from it is for some strange reason they won't send me a pony....I am 6 all over again...Oh well, they will send me amazing coffee instead. You have to check out there selection of coffee presses, grinders, and different brewing options. The prices are reasonable to.

 I just used my standard coffee pot to brew my pot this morning, and it was great. I cant wait to try my press or my favorite my peculator. Some will disagree but I feel it makes a hell of a good cup of coffee.

I can't say it enough this coffee is great, and the sample is free so if you don't like it (you might want to get checked out by a doctor) you don't have to pay for it. Try it I know you will agree Tonx Thank you, Tabitha

Citrus Lane

This is actually my second box from Citrus lane. I was so unhappy with my first box I canceled my subscription. So when I saw the opportunity to receive a free box I decided to give them another try, and I am so glad I did. This months box was awesome. Two of my sons favorite things are music and his tubby time, and this box covered both. They have several subscription options. The first is month to month it is $25.00. Then there is a 3 month option it is $25.00 per month. Then there is a 6 month and a 1 year option they are $21.00 a month. Shipping is included in all of the options at no extra charge. The website is easy to use and customer service is good I had no issues when I called them. Like I said I really love the items in this box.

 This is Water Bugs by Boon. It helps develop motor skills and coordination thru play. They are BPA free so if M wants to chew on them like everything else he can do so with no worries.

 To go along with the tub toy we got Playful Wash by Episencial. I have used this before and I love it. It smells amazing and is an ultra gentle head to toe wash. It is also tear free and rinses quickly.

 M loves this. It is a Triangle Castanet by Green Tones. The brand is ECO friendly and it is made from sustainable rubber wood.

 Lastly there was a BabyBug book from Cricket Magazine. I am not familiar with either of these, but I know Cricket Magazine has been around for years and with the book there was a code for 3 free digital months of the magazine.

Like I said I loved this box, and I think Citrus Lane hit it out of the park with all of the boxes this month. I hope they keep up the great work. Citrus Lane. Thank you, Tabitha

Parenthood Survival Box

I received a new box to review it is called Parenthood Survival Box. The Parenthood survival Box is another Subscription box from Milk and Honey Kids. For those of you who are not familiar with them they have two other monthly Sub. boxes the first is Cotton Booty they send cotton diapers, samples, and one fun item. They are for newborn to 3 years old. The other is Kid Stash, and they target the 3-7 age range. This was there first box and I thought there were some really great things in this box. The Parent survival Box is for little ones newborns to 9 months. Customer service responded very quickly to my random question. They have a boy, girl, and a neutral box, and to subscribe monthly it is $34.99.

 This is so cute it is a Fred and Friends Chill! Baby pacifier...love it.

 If your little one chews on everything like mine this is wonderful it is an Indestructible book by Indestructibles. It is water-proof, tear-resistant, and baby-proof.

 This is the Parents night out pad. You leave all the info you need to right here. All the phone numbers, emergency contact info., and even bed time instructions. So you can have that much needed night out.

 These are Babylegs legwarmers. they are adorable and sure to keep babies legs nice and warm.

 Then lastly the Angle Dear Swaddle blanket it is a large 47" by 47" so it will grow with your baby and it is made of muslin so it is super soft.

I really do like this box and if my son was younger I would be getting it monthly. You can check them out for yourself at Parenthood Survival Box. Thank you Tabitha

Love With Food!!!

I love Love with food, they are a delicious company that sends interesting snacks to my door every month. For those of you who are not familiar with Love With Food, they are a monthly subscription box service that not only sends you healthy wholesome snacks, but gives back to America by donating meals. For every box sold they donate a meal. They have donated well over 100,000 meals so far, and they have gone to hungry children here in America. You have to check out their website, it is super easy to navigate. There you will find all the information you need to start receiving a box of your own. The regular box (that is the one I got) is $12.00 a month and there is a deluxe box that is $19.95 a month. It looks like it has double what the regular box has in it. If there is something you must have again there is a store on the web site that has all the items from the box for sale. You will be able to review the items in your box to earn points, which can be used to get money off your purchase from the store. You get points if you refer someone and they get a box, so if you love Love With Food tell everyone you know and you'll be rolling in free food...lol. You can check them out here I really think you will like what you see Love With Food . Thank you Tabitha

The company that makes this is called Dang, and it is toasted coconut chips. I have tried this before and used it in baking. It was wonderful. So I will be using this for my holiday baking.

 This is a fruit and nut bar by Kind. It barely made it past the photo....sooooo delicious.

 The purple packets are triple berry Glee Gum. They use brown rice and cane sugar to make this gum. I thought it tasted great.
The wrapped candy is amazing as well. The orange is blood orange and honey, and the green is pear and cinnamon. They are organic hard candies made by Torie & Howard. They are out of this world good.

 This is Happy Squeeze by Happy Family. My son loves these and this is a new one for us it is blueberry, apple, and  purple carrot. It is in the fridge for snack time

 This is the strange thing in the box, but it looks so cool. What it is are Pixo pearls in apple cider vinegar from Vinaigerie Gingras. I am looking forward to trying this. I was told it is very good on salads or meat. We will find out soon...

 Love, Love, Love....these are chocolate Pizzelle cookies and they are amazing. They are made by Silk City Snacks. Thank goodness the bag was only 100 calories, because I ate the whole thing. Well I did give my son 2...lol. They are so good.

 These are New World Caveman Cookies by Caveman Bakery. They are a Paleo cookie made with real seeds, nuts, and maple syrup. They will satisfy any caveman. If you are on the Paleo diet I would check out the Caveman Bakery to see what other great snacks they have.

                                     I thought this box was wonderful so many new things to try.
