Sugar n' Spice and everything nice!

Yay for Influenster!
I received a new Voxbox last month and it was full of great products! ..... .
 My Sugar n' Spice Voxbox had FULL SIZED free samples of products for me to use and review. I had a box of Nectresse sweetener, Colgate Optic White toothpaste, toothbrush and mouthwash, Vaseline Spray-and-Go lotion, BelVita breakfast biscuits, and a box of Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel facial wipes. Talk about a haul!

My favorite products are the Vaseline lotion and Colgate Optic White toothbrush and toothpaste. I would definitely buy these again!


  •  The Dickinson's works well and I enjoy having facial wipes to clean my face before bedtime, but the smell of Witch Hazel reminds me of the aftercare I had to endure after my first child was born.... No fault of Dickinson's, as their product is great, I just can't smell the wipes without being reminded of the large episiotomy and weeks of pain that discomfort that followed. Since I am pregnant right now, that is the last thing I want to think about. 
  •  The belVita were good too, but as a pregnant woman I need WAY more food than those cute little biscuits to get me started in the day. My daughter loved them though!
  •  The Nectresse was a BIG hit at my bible study group! Most of the members love sweeteners that don't compromise their diets and thought Nectresse was the perfect product for them. 
  •  The Vaseline Spray-and-Go lotion was surprisingly great! I initially looked at the weird spray lotion and cocked an eyebrow. But after trying it, I am sold! It goes on cleanly and quickly, no fuss. Great product, hope I can get some coupons for it!

Thanks again Influenster!

Colgate Optic White Experience

So, I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Sugar n' Spice VoxBox from Influenster.com!! There were a number of products in the box, 3 of which were part of the Colgate Optic White line (Check their page at http://bit.ly/UVoWWv ). I decided to try out these products, because hey, who doesn't want whiter teeth? Well maybe Gary Busey since his "teeth" are already whiter than my legs. But anyways.... I started using the toothpaste and tooth brush for my daily routine instead of my normal selection. I was not impressed with the taste, as it wasn't sweet or minty enough for me, but I did like the results! After a week or so I felt like my teeth were looking more lustrous and bright. I began using the mouthwash as well about a week ago and once again, the taste leaves much to be desired, but the results are nice. Here is a pic of my pearly whites after three weeks of using the Optic White system: Thanks again Influenster!! http://bit.ly/154mB2X
