Covergirl Blastflipstick

I received three full-sized COVERGIRL blastflipsticks (in Stunner, Vixen and Minx), free, from BzzAgent.com to try for a while and review. I love the idea, I love the ease of application, I love Covergirl. The thing I don't love is the colors. Of the three I got (six total colors), there was really only one that I could sensibly wear out of the house. The others were very bright, even when using the shimmer with them. I also did a little looking around and saw the other colors available....(you can see them here on Covergirl's site)....there are a couple colors I'd love to try, and probably will. But like I said, the colors I got were just not a match for me, my age, my style, or my skin tone :/

Torani Flavor!

New recipes are always fun to try...experimenting is a favorite thing to do around our house. When I was given the opportunity to try Torani syrups I was so excited. i received two full sized bottles for free, for sampling and review purposes from SheSpeaks...extra YAY! The two flavors I got are Vanilla Bean and Pumpkin Pie. Perfect timing with the holidays and all :) The kids and I wanted to try the syrups for different things. We used the Pumpking Pie syrup added to our pancake mix for delicious pumpkin pancakes...topped with whipped cream, of course. Not much of a "recipe", I just added about 1/8th cup of the syrup to my regular batter and it worked fabulously! For the Vanilla Bean, we made regular old vanilla shakes. A little bit of vanilla ice cream, a little bit of milk, and a little bit of Torani's Vanilla Bean syrup...Y-U-M!! There are so many other flavors, and so, so many recipes and tips on Torani's website...you should go checkit out :) Happy Holidays everyone!

SLEEP NUMBER® m9 Bed

I went into the sleep Number Bed store this afternoon for the first time ever.  The sales people were very attentive, friendly and helpful...not pushy, as I had expected.

The representative showed me on a computer monitor where the adjustments to the air chamber would be made and explained very thoroughly how the mattress works.  I LOVED it! I even asked "What if I don't want to get up?"  He said, "Then don't", lol.  I could have stayed for a while longer.  A sleep number mattress is something I would love to have in the future.

By the way, my sleep number is 45 :)

Influenster Makeover

So by now you all know I review products that I receive for free from a couple different places. They're all amazing. But let me tell you about Influenster. It's one of my favorite places to learn about new products. I can read reviews from other Influensters, write reviews, learn where to find products and how much to expect to pay. Influenster has recently re-vamped their website. It looks amazing. I love how easy it is to navigate. It wasn't difficult before, but now it seems more organized and more user friendly. You really should look into becoming an Influenster. Since I joined, I've received two vox boxes. Vox boxes are boxes containing a grouping of about 5 to 8 products following a specified theme, that you receive free (no, there's not even a subscription fee). You try the products, review them and share your opinions with friends and family and whoever else will listen, lol. Here's a link to the site: http://www.influenster.com/ Happy reviewing :)

EBOOST

I received one sample packet of orange flavor EBOOST energy boost free in my Naturals Vox Box from Influenster. I actually kept putting off trying this one til I had the time to really try it out. I was afraid that if I used it in the morning and it made me sleepy or didn't help, or made me sick then I wouldn't be able to perform well at work. If I took it too late in the day, I was afraid it might keep me up too late at night. But the last two days I've missed out on some sleep and have had extra hours and tasks at work, so I was feeling a bit sluggish when I got home today. I decided to go ahead and try the drink -- it's Friday, no work tomorrow, and nothing planned for the rest of the day, so any adverse reactions wouldn't interfere with anything. I added a little extra water to avoid a strong flavor, as I'm not too fond of orange, lol. It wasn't too bad, but I did notice a funny after taste. I'm attributing that to the type of product it is, and letting it slide. It doesn't give a great boost of energy, like say "other" energy boosts may give, but just enough to keep me from wanting to nap. I'm noticing a slight headache, but not sure if it's from the EBOOST or just from the long work week. I also noticed the cost is a bit high...$28 for 20 packets...so $1.40 per packet. I guess it's comparable, but I'm not sure I'd go out and buy a whole box...maybe one packet at a time. All in all, the slight boost it gives, with the not so great flavor and the kinda high price, I'm not too sure I'll be purchasing this product regularly in the future. Like I said, maybe a single-serve packet if I needed it and saw it on the counter at the store as I was checking out...but not going to go out looking for it specifically. Here's a link to their products so you can check things out for yourself: EBOOST Natural Energy

SheaMoisture Baby Bar Soap

As part of my Naturals vox box from Influenster, I received a free full size bar of SheaMoisture Raw Shea, Chamomile & Argan Baby Bar Soap. I love it! The scent is great, it lathers really well, cleans well, and is a good sized bar....larger than most single bar soaps. I'm kind of anxious to try other products from Shea Moisture and will more than likely continue to buy and use this soap. Here's the link again: http://www.sheamoisture.com/
