Alaffia Fair Trade Shea Butter Triple Milled Soap

I recently had the opportunity to try Alaffia Fair Trade Shea Butter Triple Milled Soap and here is what I thought. It comes in a set of 6 bars with 5 different scents and each bar smells more amazing than the last. The scents are strong enough to actually know what the scent is but not overpowering like some other soap. This soap lathers up great and because it has shea butter in it your skin not only feels clean after using it but feels very soft and well moisturized too. I really think everyone would fall in love with this soap and should give it a try. Below is a little more information on the soap and will tell you where to purchase it if interested.
Has 100% certified fair trade ingredients. Is long lasting triple milled African Black Soap made from shea butter. Is wheat, soy, and gluten-free. Is Vegan, non-GMO, and is not tested on animals. Also all sales help fund enhancement projects in Togolese communities. The set comes with six bars of soap: 2 Lavender 1 Lemongrass Citrus 1 Pineapple Coconut 1 Sandalwood Ylang Ylang 1 Raspberry If you are interested in purchasing this set it is currently $29.99 and you can find it at http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QMWXPUC?ref_=pdp_new_dp_rating

Influenster

So I wanted to do a quick blog post all about Influenster. I mentioned it earlier but felt that I needed to do a post all about Influenster to help get the name out there so here it goes.

Influenster is an online site where you do earn badges that fit you which help you qualify to earn voxboxes. Voxboxs are boxes that when earned are shipped to your door and inside there are several product samples and even full size products. The best part is that Influenster is 100% free. You never have to pay anything. It is super easy and fun and the more work you put into the more you will get out of it. I have been a member since August 2011 and I have received two voxboxes and several bouns products. As I said many of the products I received were full size which was awesome. There are so many great things about Influenster so I encourage you to give it a try because it is worth the time. For more information or to request an invite go to www.influenster.com. Also to get more of an idea of what kind of products you can receive in the voxboxes please check out my earlier post about the College Voxbox 2012.

College Voxbox 2012

Yesterday I got my College Voxbox 2012 thanks to Influenster and it is filled with so many great products. I will tell you about everything I got in my voxbox and then I will come back later and blog about my experience with each product seperately.

First I want to make sure everyone know what Influenster is. Influenster is a site where you can earn different bages for doing different things such as taking a quick survey, reviewing products, and answering people's questions. When you earn badges and do those things your score goes up and the most influential members get matched with voxbox's that fit them. Each box comes filled with different product samples and sometimes even full size products to try out and give your opinion on. The best part is that Influenster is 100% free. You never have to paying for anything. All you have to do is give your honest opinion of the products. It is that easy and super fun. If you have any more questions you can comment below or go to www.influenster.com for more information or to get started.

Now for the College Voxbox 2012. The first thing in the box is a purple Pentel EnerGel-X Pen. It is a cute purple retractable pen and it comes in other colors. I have never used this brand before so I can't say much about right now but I will come back and let you know what I think later.

Next is Energy Sheets Mint Boost. They are just little sheets that you stick on your tongue and they dissolve and give you energy. It says on the box that they have B vitamins, 0 calories, 0 sugars, and no crash. I have never heard of these before so they will be interesting to try. I also am always looking for a good energy product so I am hoping this is a good one but I will let you know later.

Next we have Tropical Necco Wafers. My niece and nephew started eating them as soon as I pulled them out of the box and they seemed to like them but I haven't tried them yet. I will say I have always heard really bad things about Necco Wafers but have never tried them myself so I will have to see if they are as bed as people say. Again I will come back and let you know later.

Next there is NYC Show Time Black Glitter Eyeliner. NYC products all the time and have always loved them. I also always use black eyeliner and I love glitter so this seems like it may be the perfect product for me and I can't wait to try it. I am wondering if the glitter will even be noticable or if it will basically be black eyeliner. I can't wait to try this one and let you know.

Finally there is imPRESS Press On Nails. I got Cheetah Print Nails. I actually already use these and love them. It says on the package that they last at least a week and mine have always lasted longer than that. They look and fit really nice and are very strong. They are a little pricey but not too bad and totally worth it. I think I might actually give these ones to my mom to try and I will post what I think of them and what my mom thinks of them later.

So that is what was in my College Voxbox 2012. I hope you enjoyed reading about the products and I can't wait to try them all out and tell you what I think.

Glade Expressions Collection

Recently I tried the new Glade Expressions Collection thanks to free samples I received from www.bzzagent.com and now I want to tell you all about it. I personally love the collection. My favorite is the oil diffuser but the mist is great too. First I will tell you about the mist.It smelled fantastic and it looked really nice. It didn't stick out as being an air care product. The only problem I have with the mist is that the smell doesn't last very long but that is the same for almost any brand of mist so it really isn't a big deal. It the smell goes away and you need more you just give it another spray. I did find it a little harder to spray than other sprays but still not that difficult. The other product was the oil diffuser. I absolutely love the oil diffuser. It doesn't look at all like an air care product so when I have company they just think it is part of the decor. It also goes with basically any decor so you can even move it from room to room and it will always fit the room. My favorite part about it though is that the smell just keeps coming. You never have to worry about the scent vanishing because it just keeps coming until all the smell is gone. I have been using mine for at least a month and it still smells although it is not as strong as before. My only negative comment about the oil difuser is that it doesn't seem like it will last very long but it is still worth the money for the time it does last. All in all I think the Glade Expressions Collection is a wonderful air care collection and worth the money.

 Here is a little more information about the Glade Expressions Collection. The collection comes in a mist and an oil diffuser. There are several scents you can choose from. You can get the mist in 4 scents including Cotton & Italian Mandarin, Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice, Lavender & Juniper Berry, and Pineapple & Mangosteen. The oil diffuser comes in 3 scents including Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice, Lavender & Juniper Berry, and Pineapple & Mangosteen. The Glade Expressions Collection can be found in most grocery stores and mass retailers and also in some drug stores. The diffuser takes no electricity and comes in white and bamboo. The mist has a removable label to make it fit in any room. Both also have refills that you can buy when they smell runs out.

Unreal Candy

Today I want to tell you about Unreal Candy. I recently tried from my bzzkit through BzzAgent. I decided to try the Chocolate Caramel Nougat Bar and it was delicious. It tasted just like a 3 Musketeers bar to me because the inside was so fluffy textured. I also love the fact that it isn't full of all the other junk the other candy and foods are full of. This way I don't have to feel so guilty when I eat it. The price wasn't that bad but  the one negative to Unreal Candy was that I had a hard time finding it. I tried Walgreens and Rite Aid and neither of them had it. Then I tried CVS and finally found it. I probably wouldn't buy it again unless I could find it in a closer store but if it were closer to me I would consider buying it again. I do wish they had some fruit flavor candies too because I am not the biggest chocolate fan but the chocolate was still very good.

Here is a little more information on Unreal Candy. Unreal is candy the candy without all the junk it it. It contains no corn syrup, no partially hydrogenated oil, no artificial ingredients, no GMO'S, no preservatives, and has a low glycemic index. That means it is much better for you and you don't have to feel guity every time you want a treat. It comes in five varieties including chocolate caramel nougat bar, chocolate caramel peanut nougat bar, peanut butter cups, candy coated chocolates, and candy coated chocolates with peanuts. If you want candy without all the junk in it then Unreal Candy is for you. For more information on Unreal Candy visit http://getunreal.com/. Unreal Candy is sold in select stores so while your there check to find out which stores near you carry Unreal Candy.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition

I recently tried Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition shampoo and conditioner through BzzAgent and I want to tell you how much I liked it. I had always heard really good things from friends about Garnier Fructis products but had never tried them myself because they were a little more expensive than other brands. The price is a little more than my normal brand but it is definitely worth the extra money.

I will tell you about the shampoo first. It was amazing. It left my hair super soft and clean and my hair felt healthier and wasn't as dry after just a couple of uses. My hair was super clean feeling and seemed to stay feeling clean longer than when I have used other brands.

The conditioner was also a great product. I have extremely long think hair and it gets tangled up very easily. When I used the triple nutrition conditioner it definitely made my hair a lot more manageable. It kept it manageable until the next time it was washed which made things a lot easier for me.

All around this is a great product and I would recommend at least giving it a try. If you want any more information on Garnier Fructis products feel free to visit http://www.garnierusa.com/_en/_us/home.aspx

Larabar

The newest product I have tried is a Larabar which I got in my Influenster Holiday Voxbox. The flavor I got was chocolate chip cookie dough. It was good but honestly it was nothing I would run out and get again. The flavor was good I just have tried other bars that are just as good or better than it was. I also got a coupon for getting some more Larabar's which I plan to use on some other flavors because maybe it was just that flavor since I am not a huge chocolate fan and I would like others better. Just my honest opinion but you may like them. Like I said they weren't bad just not as good as other bars I have had.

Here is a little information on Larabar's in case you decide to try them for yourself. One great thing about these is that they are all natural and healthy for you. They are low in calories and were even featured on the Biggest Loser. Many have full servings of fruit and they have plenty of fiber to make you feel full so you don't keep eating. They are great for anyone hoping to lose a little weight or just get healthy. They come in a ton of flavors...

Apple Pie
Banana Bread
Blueberry Muffin
Cappuccino
Carrot Cake
Cashew Cookie
Cherry Pie
Chocolate Chip Brownie
Chocolate Chip Cherry Torte
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Chocolate Coconut Chew
