Holiday 2012 Influenster VoxBox

So I just got my second Influenster VoxBox in the mail the other day... This one I am MEGA excited about!! It had a bunch of fun and exciting things in it....

Here is what I found when I opened the box....

The first item was the Goody QuickStyle Hair Brush. It claims to help dry your hair 30% faster with these little microfiber bristle things in between the regular bristles. I tried this out on the first day, and so far I really like it! I think it did in fact help my hair dry faster. I am concerned that it might be difficult to clean hair out of the brush the way it is designed (I have long hair and tend to leave plenty behind after brushing)...But over all I think it is a pretty decent brush!

Next up...my all time favorite... The Quaker Oats Medleys--Cherry Pistachio!!!

I LOOOOVE Quaker Medleys....and somehow they knew the Cherry Pistachio was my favorite! One of the best things for breakfast. I've always liked oatmeal...but this brings it to a whole new level!! Every flavor is great, but the Cherry Pistachio gets a 10 all the way!!

The third item out of the box was NYC Lip Gloss. This went on pretty well and was a decent color...but seemed to dry my lips out pretty quickly. I'm sure that I will use it again, but it is definitely not the best lip gloss I have ever had. Not bad for a sample though!

Finally, the last thing in the package was a set of Kiss Nail dress, black and silver nail decals. Enough for a manicure and pedicure...I am really excited about these. Cant wait to give them a try. Will do a separate quick post on them when I finally get to use them later this week hopefully. They look really cool and I hope they look as great once they are on!

So that's that with the Holiday 2012 VoxBox...As always, thank you Influenster for this opportunity to try some great products!!

The Dirty Little Secret about Deodorant...

So this post is from my other blog... http://anewlifeforusall.blogspot.com/ . I will duplicate some of the posts over to here...but please check that site out too if you are interested in reading my posts about natural products and creations! :) Source So Deodorant. We all know what it is...and I'd say probably 99% of us use it. Why? Well, originally it started off as a way to keep away the smell from sweating that was caused by dirt and bacteria. But as times changed the newest and greatest thing was added to many deodorants..... ANTIPERSPIRANT. I am certain that the majority of people purchase their Antiperspirant Deodorants with out even giving a seconds thought to what they are putting on their body and what this product is actually doing to them. Let's take a look at the ingredients list on the back of a deodorant container... So the main ingredient I want to talk about just so happens to be the #1 Active Ingredient in an...

All Natural Homemade Toothpaste

My latest adventure in DIY Naturals...Toothpaste. Now, this isn't my favorite tasting product ever...but generally, anything with baking soda isnt very yummy. However, knowing that it is sooooo much better than the chemical crap in store bought toothpaste...helps it taste a little better. :) Have you noticed how expensive toothpaste is getting? It can be well over $4.00 a tube. And, if you buy organic or all natural toothpaste from the health food store, you're looking at closer to $10! I spent $8 on a little tiny tube of tooth gel for Abigail because I didn't want her to ever use the regular store bought junk. Did you know that Fluoride is poisonous to us? The following information is pulled from a great article that you can read here "Fluoride is a pollutant, a by-product of copper, iron and aluminum manufacturing. The problem of how to legally dispose of fluoride was solved in the 1930's when a study (funded by on...

Dealing with a second trimester miscarriage, My Story.

Our third pregnancy... In August 2016, my husband and I decided we wanted our third (and final!) baby. We did "research" on old wives tales and statistics and any kind of information we could locate about how to increase the likelihood of getting our baby boy. (Although in reality we never cared about the gender, we just thought it would be nice to end with a little boy) We read about things to eat...things not to eat...things to do...you name it, we read about it. We started preparing with ovulation testers. Within a few days, I knew it had worked. We waited a few weeks, and I took a pregnancy test. It was positive. Soon after, at exactly seven weeks pregnant, the "morning sickness" started. Which, let me tell you...Morning sickness is a phrase that really irritates me. For me, it was NOT morning sickness. It was 24/7 non stop sickness. Anything could send me running to the bathroom to hug the porcelain throne. I was nauseated...
