International Delight® One Touch Latte™

I love me some coffee and/or a latte. But sometimes my normal coffee is too plain and lattes can be a bit of a hassle. But thanks to International Delight and their One Touch Latte creamers I can have a homemade latte without needing a special machine or even any skill.



International Delight One Touch Latte creamer is a delicious new creamer from International Delight that transforms your home brewed coffee into a coffeehouse style latte in seconds, so you can turn every morning’s boring old cup of coffee into the optimal latte party mug experience. It’s simple: just fill your favorite mug 2/3 with hot coffee, shake the can, and press firmly for 5-10 seconds.



They come in 3 delicious flavors Mocha, Vanilla, and Caramel. Each can is good for 7 lattes. I received a coupon for a free can thanks to Crowdtap. It was a tough choice, but I'm a big chocolate fan so I ended up choosing Mocha.



It was so simple and quick to make. Just brew your coffee, filling your favorite mug about 2/3rds of the way (make sure you leave room for the yummy froth), shake the One Touch Latte can, then press and hold can above your coffee for about 5-7 seconds. And voilà you have a delicious, frothy latte in your own home. 



I do have to say you might need try it more then once to get it right. On my first try it don't froth up, it just kinda sat on top of my coffee. I realized I wasn't close enough to the coffee. When I tried it again closer it work magically! But if does happen to you, you can stir it in and it still taste amazing. Aside from that one time I have had no problems with the One Touch Latte.




It is not too sweet or too strong and foams up nicely. It has a wonderful chocolate taste, that doesn't overpower the coffee. It is an exceptional latte. It is a fantastic way to spruce up a boring cup of coffee. You can have so much fun with these too. Add some shaved chocolate, caramel drizzle, ground peppermint, or coco powder. Mix and match flavors. Have fun and create amazing drinks. I look forward to my next cup of coffee.

Febreze ONE Fabric & Air Mist

When you gotta get rid of that pungent prowler, don’t just mask the odor, eliminate it with new Febreze® ONE. Febreze® ONE Fabric & Air Mist gently removes odors with just a hint of scent. You won’t find any aerosols, dyes, or heavy perfumes, either. That’s because this versatile spray gently cleans away odors from both fabrics and the air without them. Plus, the reusable nozzle lets you switch between other Febreze® ONE scent refills. It’s the odor-eliminating overachiever you’ve been searching for. So say sayonara to that pungent prowler and hello to the recyclable, easy-to-refill Febreze® ONE — available in three fresh, single-ingredient scents Bamboo, Mandarin, and Orchid.


Who doesn't love walking in to a fresh smelling house? However sometimes life and the odors that come along with it just won't allow it. Gratefully we have Febreze and I was able to try their newest Fabric & Air mist thanks to BzzAgent. I received two free Fabric & Air Mist (Mandarin & Bamboo) along with two BOGO coupons.


I'm extremely impressed with how well these get rid of bad odors. We have a full house (9 people in total and a dog), so we have some strong and just plain bad smells. Febreze ONE works nicely and fast. It got rid of the smells, it didn't just cover them up. They leaves the air and fabrics smelling fresh long after being used. The Mandarin scent leaves the room citrusy and fresh, and the Bamboo leaves a very fresh and clean scent behind. But neither are overpowering which is great because we have a couple of sensitive noses in our house. 


I like the packaging as well. It has a clean and elegant look. You can leave it out and it doesn't look tacky. It's also reusable you keep the top and you buy replacement spray containers to refill. The spray top sprays evenly through out the air. This is a continuous spray but NOT aerosol. It is a air and fabric spray that soaks into the fabric you spray it on. These work exceptionally. I have found my new Fabric & Air Mist. I love them!

Maybelline #GreatLashBlue VoxBox

I used to love messing around with colorful mascaras while in school, but as time went by I stopped with the colors and just stayed with black. Though black mascara is great itself, it can be fun to experiment and try different looks. So I was super excited to be pick to review Influenster's #GreatLashBlue VoxBox. I received Maybelline's Great Lash mascara in the color Royal Blue along with their Unstoppable eyeliner in Onyx.


First off I have to say that the box itself is so cute! It so pink and blue. I love it. Ok on to the products. For the eyeliner, its very nice. It is a lovely onyx black color that goes on smoothly and it is easy to apply. I can see myself using it all the time.



As for the mascara. Like I said before it has been awhile since I used any color beside black, therefor I was a little scared to try it out. However there was no reason to be. The color isn't overwhelming at all, it is a subtle but beautiful blue color, and is perfect for Spring and Summer. The mascara itself adds a bit of volume and length, and I didn't notice any clumping. The color is like I said very subtle, but it is buildable. So the more coats you do the bolder color you get. Although I can't get it to show up in pictures the blue is there.



What I liked best of all is you can rock this everyday. It is wonderful for a bold look, but it is also great for a softer look! I'm very pleased with both the mascara and eyeliner. There are so many looks I plan on doing and I can't wait to continue to use them both.

Seventh Generation Natural Laundry Detergent - Free & Clear

A couple of us in our house have a sensitivity to dyes and fragrances. I myself have eczema that likes to act up from time to time, I honestly have yet to figure out what triggers an outbreak. So we tend to stick to soaps and detergents that are dye and fragrance free. So when I was able to try Seventh Generation’s Natural Free & Clear laundry detergent (thanks to Seven Generation & Generation Good) I was eager to give it a go. I received 3 samples of Seventh Generation Natural Laundry Detergent - Free & Clear. Two to try at home and one to give to a friend to try.


I was delighted by the results after the first wash. It works amazingly well, it does a decent job with stains (although we haven't had any big set-in stains yet), and I haven’t had any trouble with colors fading. All my laundry is left smelling fresh and clean. I love that I don't have to worry about if I used the wrong detergent, or if someone accidentally threw their wash in with someone else's. Everyone can use this without it irritating our skin.



I also think it is fantastic that Seventh Generation Natural Liquid Laundry Detergent is plant based, kosher, cruelty-free, and gluten-free. As well as hypoallergenic, free of dyes & synthetic fragrances, and made for sensitive skin.

Overall I'm extremely happy with this product and will continue to use it.

Silk Protein Nutmilk

With the goodness of almonds and creaminess of cashews Silk Protein Nutmilk is delicious over cereal, in smoothies, as part of a favorite recipe or served straight up in a glass. And it packs 10 grams of protein per serving from 100% peas.


 


I recently got to try Silk Milk from CrowdTap for the first time and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I received a free coupon for Silk's new Protein Nutmilk for free and a cute little Silk truck magnet. There are two kinds of the Silk Protein Nutmilk to chose from, Vanilla (which is what I tried) and 2g Sugar.


Silk Truck magnet


I'm surprised by how delicious it is. It has wonderful vanilla taste with just a hint of nuts, it is quite yummy. It's a great alternative to milk and even half & half. I used it in my coffee and it just added a lovely nutty aftertaste. I also used it instead of milk in some of my homemade recipes and again it just adds something fantastic to the taste. I'm extremely impressed with the taste.




However I wasn't a fan of the texture, it just feels wrong on my tongue. That is the only way I can honestly describe it. The taste is wonderful, it just the feeling is off. Although I only notice this when I was drinking it by itself from a glass. Nonetheless if it's in a recipe or with something else I had no problem it. I really loved the added taste it gives. I definitely recommend this Silk and will continue to use it. This post was sponsored by Silk® as part of a sampling activation for Crowdtap. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.

Jingle VoxBox

Shortly before Christmas Influenster sent me their awesome Jingle VoxBox. My box had a combination of products from food to beauty. I'm so excited to share with you what I received.



In my Jingle VoxBox was a coupon for a free bag of Ore-Ida tater tots, Biscoff cookies, a Hallmark Itty Bitty, a little sample tub of Cetaphil Moisturizing cream, a bottle of Pure Ice nail polish, NYC New York Color 24HR Waterproof eyeliner, a pair of Kiss True Volume Lashes and Strip Lash Adhesive.



Ore-Ida: I was given a coupon for a free bag of any Ore-Ida tater tot product. And of course I ran out and got a bag as fast as I could! I love tater tots especially Ore-Ida's mini tater tots. They are so yummy! I'll normally have some for lunch with a bit of melted cheese on top! Yummy Yummy!




Biscoff: I received 3 packs with 2 cookies in each pack. Their tag line "Europe's Favorite cookie with coffee." is quite right I do like them with coffee but I actually like them better on their own. They are nice and sweet but not overly so. They have a good texture and taste so good. I'm eating some right now. I think I found my new favorite cookie. And they remind me of cookies I use to eat when I was young and they bring back all those memories! 



Hallmark Itty Bittys: Oh my goodness these are so cute and so soft. They are awesome. I got Olaf but they have tons of others. They have Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Rainbow Brite, Barbie, and Scooby just to name a few. I see myself have a huge collection in the near future. There are so many I want.



Cetaphil Moisturizing cream: This cream is thick but not heavy. It absorbed very quickly and left no weird lotion feeling like some creams leave. I was genuinely happy with this cream. I have really bad eczema on a couple of my fingers and this cream did an amazing job of moisturizing them. They stopped hurting and never cracked like the normally do. It even made my 13 year old tattoo look awesome.



Pure Ice Nail polish: My polish was in the color Shore Bet, which is a nice beige color. I was happy with this color. Lately I have been into neutral colors and this is a great one.It goes on nice and smoothly. And it lasted longer than I thought it would. I had it on for just over a week before it started to chip.




NYC New York Color 24HR Waterproof eyeliner: The eyeliner I received came in black. I have to say I've had this eyeliner for about month now and use it almost daily. It goes on smoothly and evenly. It last all day long and doesn't smudge. 



Kiss True Volume Lashes & Strip Lash Adhesive: Last but not least I received a pair of Kiss lashes and clear adhesive. Now I have never used fake lashes before but I was excited to try them out. I have wanted to try lashes for a long time but never got around to getting any.  I was a little nervous when it came to putting these on and truth be told I had a difficult time trying to get these on. It took me awhile to get these on and I was never sincerely happy with them once they were on.  But they were definitely soft to the touch and felt real and looked as real as they could thanks to their tapered ends. Even though I haven't mastered these (yet) I had fun with them and plan on trying to use them again.



Overall I loved my Jingle VoxBox. It had amazing products to try and I had a blast trying them!

Welch’s Refreshingly Simple

I'm a fan Welch's juices so I was excited to received a full size bottle of the new Refreshingly Simple to try from BzzAgent. My bzzkit included A FREE bottle of Welch’s Refreshingly Simple in the flavor I selected at sign-up, 5 pass-along coupons for $.75 off a 59 oz. bottle or 8 oz. 6-pack of any flavor of Welch’s Refreshingly Simple, and a Welch’s PB&J Sandwich Vault - a snap-top case to keep your PB&J fresh and beautiful.



When I signed up for the mission I was asked to choose what flavor I would like to try, They have some yummy choices like Peach Mango, Concord Grape, Strawberry Raspberry, Orange Pineapple Apple, and Passion Fruit. They all sounded great but I ended up picking Strawberry Raspberry as strawberry is one of my favorite flavors. These juices are made to be simple (hence the name) . That is why they contain just a handful of honest ingredients and none of the stuff you don’t want. That means no artificial sweeteners, preservatives, artificial flavors or high fructose.


I was quite surprised with the taste. I was expecting it to not only be sweeter than it was, but also tarter since it has strawberries and raspberries. However it was perfectly mixed. Just the right amount of sweet to go with the right amount of tart. It was delicious, so much so the bottle was gone in a day. I'm so thrilled I was able to try this tasty juice. I will be heading to the store to pick up more of  the Strawberry Raspberry and to try the other flavors.

Nature’s Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies

Recently I tried the 30 day hair, skin, and nails challenge with Nature’s Bounty Optimal Solutions Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies thanks to Smiley360


They contain just the right balance of nutrients to support lustrous hair, healthy nails and vibrant skin, all in a delicious strawberry flavored gummy! These yummy little gummies provide you with the vital nutrients your body needs to support your natural beauty from within. Vitamin E and Vitamin C are antioxidants. Vitamin E contributes to skin health, and Vitamin C is involved in collagen production and formation, which forms the basis for vibrant skin. Biotin helps to maintain healthy hair and nails. But they do not make your hair or nails grow longer or faster. These gummies support lustrous hair, healthy nails and vibrant skin. They also contain No Artificial Flavor, No Milk, No Lactose, No Soy, No Gluten, No Wheat, No Yeast, No Fish, and are Sodium Free.




I was so excited to try these out! My nails need help, so much help. They are in such bad shape. They peel and break so easily. My hair and skin on the other hand are actually decent so wasn't expecting much of a difference with them. But after my 30 days I did see a slight difference. My hair, skin, and nails seem healthier now. My hair and skin do appear less dull & lifeless. But my nails they are so much healthier after the 30 days! Since I started taking these gummies they have stopped peeling and haven't broken once! I've actually had to cut them and that almost never happens. Normally they break long before they get long enough for me to clip them.



Besides all that these little gummies are so deliciously yummy! They taste so good I swear they are candy! There have been a couple of times I would reach for some more totally forgetting that they supplements. 

Overall I think they did make a difference with my hair, skin, & nails. If nothing else they made my hair, skin, & nails look and feel healthier.

o.b. Pro Comfort Tampons

Recently I received o.b. Pro Comfort Tampons from Smiley360They have SilkTouch cover for ultimate comfort and protection. Fluid-Lock grooves for locked-in leak protection that lasts for up to 8 hours. They expands to fit your unique body. They are also applicator free.


I was a little apprehensive when it came time to try them because they are applicator free and my normal tampons aren't. You can imagine all the weird little thoughts that popped in my head. Like how the heck do these things actually work? How do I insert it? Oh how messy is this going to be? Do I even want to try these? But once I got past those thoughts I ended up really liking them.


Super and Regular 

They are discreet and compact. Very easy to hide, and come with a cute little carrier that is just as easy to hide. Which holds about 4 regular or 3 super. They are also extremely comfortable and provide great coverage. I rarely felt them and never had to worry about leaks. The insertion process wasn't all that different then I was use to, though they can be a bit more messier than tampons with an applicator. But extra wiping and/or carrying hand wipes will help with that. 

All in all I like them and will continue using them for now. If you would like to give them a try for free Click Here or there is a link on my facebook page.

BIC Soleil Glow disposable razors

Living in the sunshine state means it is always summer! No really, the seasons here are Summer, Super Hot Summer, Summer, and Hey a couple of days under 60 degrees (Fahrenheit). Because of this it is fair to say most days I'm in shorts of some kind. So having smooth legs is a must andso is a good razor. So getting to try the BIC Soleil Glow disposable razors from BzzAgent for free was awesome!


Each BIC Soleil Glow disposable razor has a Comfort Shield head That evenly distributes pressure, glides and Helps protect your skin from irritation. They also have three flexible blades that individually adjust to all your curves while the lubricating strips enriched with Vitamin E and Aloe pamper your skin. And with three pretty pastel colored handles in each pack, they add a little fun to your shower!



Generally I'm not a fan of disposable razors. I find most of them very lacking. So I was quite surprised by how well they work. I shaved how I typically do and didn't have to go over any spots. It was a nice close, smooth shave. I had no irritation, stubble, or cuts. They worked better than any other disposable razor I have tried. And they come in cute, pretty colors! I Liked them and plan on using them again.

L'Oréal Paris Ultimate Straight

I was picked to join the Influnster L'Oreal Paris Ultimate Straight VoxBox. In my lovely little voxbox was the L'Oreal Paris Smooth Intense Ultimate Straight Shampoo, Straight Boosting Pre-conditioner, Conditioner, and the Perfecting Balm. This line is made for those who straighten their hair often. The Ultimate straight starts before the heat. Advanced Hair care Smooth Intense Ultimate Straight starts straightening hair in the shower, for hair that is shiny, straight, and perfect for up to 48 hours. 


Now I already have straight hair and don't use a straightener. But I did try these out, but it really didn't do anything for me, But I do love the smell. So I gave this line to my sister who has thick frizzy hair and uses her straightener almost every day. 

She did like them well enough. They do leave her hair smooth and straighter. They controlled her fizz and made it a little easier to style. The best thing though is the smell. They leave your hair smelling so good. But the downside (it is a small downside) It does take extra time to use all the products, there are 4 of them that you use in one washing. Also the pre-conditioner and conditioner have to sit in your hair for a minute or two each. But the times when I used the products I used the time while I was conditioning to shave so It wasn't a total waste. All in all they work well and if you have to fight with your hair everyday to get it straight then you should try this. 

I received the L'Oréal Paris Ultimate Straight Collection from Influenster for free for testing purposes, all opinions are 100% mine and my sister's. 

Seventh Generation Auto Dishwasher detergent



Seventh Generation makes products that are safe and effective not only for your home and family, but designed with the planet and future generations in mind. So I was excited to be asked to try out their Auto Dishwasher detergent from Generation Good. I tried their Lemon Auto Dishwasher Gel detergent, which is Chlorine bleach-free and phosphate-free natural dishwashing detergent gel that cleans with plant-derived enzymes and is septic safe.



 


I had high hopes and expectations since I had already fell in love with one of their hand soaps. But sadly I was disappointed. It didn't clean my dishes well at all. I had to rewash or hand wash a majority of my dishes after each load because there was food residue still on them. It might be good for smaller loads. But in my house we go through to many dishes to ever have a small load, my dishwasher is always full. I did love the scent and that it is plant based, but it just didn't work for me. Maybe it might work better for someone with less demanding washer load.

Red Baron Brick Oven Pizza

Who doesn't love some pizza. Its quick, easy, and moderately cheap. Pizza is loved in my house and we eat it often. So when BzzAgent ask me to try the new Red Baron Brick Oven Pizza I was overjoyed. 





Red Baron Brick Oven pizza is cooked in a fiery 800-degree brick oven to create a crust that’s crispy, bubbly and perfectly golden-brown. Topped with robust sauce and premium cheeses and meats, these delicious pizzas will get the whole family fired up. Don’t make reservations or wait for delivery – simply look for the Red Baron pizza box featuring a fiery brick oven at your local grocery store then cook up a pizza with authentic Brick Oven taste at home.




My BzzKit included A coupon for a FREE Red Baron Brick Oven pizza, 3 Pass-along coupons to share with fellow pizza lovers, and and awesome Red Baron cooking apron. I was out the door minutes after receiving my coupon. I could wait to try it. 




I picked up the Pepperoni Pizza but there is also Cheese Trio Pizza, Meat Trio Pizza, and Sausage Supreme Pizza. I myself would have loved to try the Supreme Pizza but Pepperoni is more family friendly in my house. 




I have to say I was really surprised and happy by how many pepperoni slices there were. There was a bit more than some of the pizzas I buy. They covered most of the pizza so there was a pepperoni in every bite it was great. The crust was nice and bubbly. It wasn't to thick or to thin, nor was it to mushy or to crunchy. It was right in the middle it was delicious. Now the sauce was really good. It was nice and robust, but there was to much for me. I like light sauce on my pizza. I even make sure to say so when I order in pizza. With that said I still liked the pizza. And of course the kids loved it. I do plan on purchasing more and I can't wait to try the others.

Carefree Acti-Fresh Thin Liners

I recently received The Carefree VoxBox from Influenster. It included a package of Carefree Acti-Fresh Thin Liners. Which are designed to deliver freshness, thanks to an 8-hour odor control system and to feel as soft and thin as your panties, so all you feel is confident. 


I normally don't wear liners, I always assumed they would be to small for me and a bit uncomfortable. But I have to admit I really like these liners. They are decently absorbent. They took care of any little leaks or discharge that happened. I even felt fresher on the days I wore one. They are super thin and comfortable. They don't move or bunch up. I actually forgot I was wearing them. You really don't feel them at all. I do wish they were a tiny bit longer, but besides that I thought they were great and I plan to continue using them.

Monterey Gourmet Foods

Oh My Cuteness! An adorable little bunny visited my yard yesterday. It was so darn cute!!! See! 




Such a darling little thing. But anywho onto my review. So last week I got my Monterey Gourmet Food BzzKit from BzzAgent in the mail. Monterey Gourmet Foods offers a variety of exciting, fresh pasta inspired by authentic international cuisine and made from only the finest wholesome ingredients. And no matter which flavor you choose, it’ll be ready to serve in just 5 minutes. 

My kit included 2 free Monterey Gourmet Foods Product Coupons for myself, and 3 $1 off  any Monterey Gourmet Foods Product Coupons for friends. The next day I got my butt to Publix and got some yummy food! I feel I should let you know these are not in the frozen section, they are in the refrigerated section where you find the cheese, near the eggs and milk, at least the ones I got were. 



They have some yummy looking pasta I had a tough time picking, but in the end I got the Five Cheese Ravioli and the Spinach & Cheese Ravioli. I love how quick and easy they are to cook. They are really easy to cook just place them in boiling water and in a couple minutes you have a mouth watering meal. A couple did break open in the water but it was only two or three. 



The Five Cheese Ravioli I severed with some pasta sauce on top. Though I have to admit they didn't need the sauce at all. I actually scraped most of it off and eat them plain. They were so savory and cheesy. The Spinach & Cheese I severed with just a bit of butter on top and nothing else. They were my favorite. They were just heavenly. If you are a fan of spinach you will love these. I plan on getting these again, and trying some other flavors. I can't wait to go get more.

Hey for fun here is another shot of the precious little bunny.
