*I received these products for free from Crowdtap in the Garnier Crowd, to host a party where we were to test and review the products given* Please give me a day to get this blog fully posted. I had some great feedback I would love to share with you, my readers. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

*I received these products for free from Crowdtap in the Playskool Crowd. In exchange I will be testing and reviewing to give my honest feedback* Here is little miss Katelyn doing an Unboxing video for YouTube & Vine.                 Link to YouTube video & my channel Please stick with me! I have some great material to show you in the next few days but I'm also trying to sort out my room/office so I don't have to keep making posts on my iPad.

* I recently received a coupon for a free  Ore-Ida  product in my complementary Jingle Voxbox from  Influenster . All opinions are my own unless otherwise noted.* I was asked to come up with some recipes and do a review on my Ore-Ida product selection. We chose the  Extra Crispy Tater Tots  because I figured you can't really go wrong with crispy tater tots and my family will devour them up quickly. I just recently was able to remember and go up to my local grocery store to pick them up. That's the only small problem I have with coupons in my Voxbox but hey, free is free, right?! As soon as I brought the product home, "Dads2cents" decided to make a couple to test them out. The bag said 425 degrees for around 20-25 minutes (sorry, I  didn't remember to get a good picture of the side for clarification.) I took them out, we tested a few and they were not fully cooked (had some lumps in them) or crispy. They were a bit more salty than I would have thought as well.

I wanted to quickly share about something I recently saw on my Instagram feed. Someone posted a picture of a Snuggle Bear they had won from the Snuggle Bear Den Community. I did a quick Google search for this community so I could join as well. I reached out to Snuggle on Twitter and they confirmed that you can win the bear as a prize or buy one here: http://snuggle-bear-store.myshopify.com/products/snuggle-bear As I'm looking around the site, I see surveys, discussions, and missions where you earn points & badges. I do not know anything further than that, other than I know you can win prizes, possibly test products? I'll let you know more as I know more! I just joined #TeamSnuggle! Join me in the Bear Den and you might get free things, like a Snuggle Bear or other products. http://h3.sml360.com/-/ealr

*I was given a complementary VoxBox from  Influenster  for testing and reviewing purposes* Until I've gotten a chance to review all of my products, (a.k.a when the kids go back to school!) here's a little spoiler video to tide you over. I plan on editing it properly on YouTube, but she's a natural and I hate messing with her videos. I think I'll post the detailed information from Influenster into the description bar on the video and again in this blog post instead. Let me know if you liked her videos and would like to see more. We have more saved material but wonder if it's worth the trouble to edit and post them. If you've never heard of  Influenster , click on the link that's underlined, and you can join with me and others that get to test and review products for free.
