* I was given a complimentary Cottonelle #OnAMegaRoll VoxBox from Influenster and Cottonelle .  All opinions are my own unless otherwise noted!    As a family of 5 and sometimes sharing a bathroom with more than one person throughout the week, we are bound to go through some toilet paper. We all have a specific preference in what we like and don't like when it comes to toilet paper. I think I speak for my entire family when I say that we enjoy our toilet paper roll lasting a bit longer, that it be soft but strong enough to not tear on you as you wipe, and that it does a great job cleaning up the first time.  That's where Cottonelle Clean Care comes in! 4 rolls in 1...the package says... I was impressed and it takes care of all of our toilet paper needs. The clean ripple texture is designed to clean better and it really did it's job! Why use any other toilet paper when these mega rolls last longer, are softer, and do their job the first t...

* I received a custom VoxBox for free from Influenster and Country Crock . This product was given to me to test and review. All opinions are my own unless otherwise noted! When you think of butter, what comes to mind? For me, it's Country Crock! Why? The answer is simple, because it reminds me of simpler times, baking in the kitchen with my grandma. Also, every time you would come over to her home and open her refrigerator for whatever reason, you would see butter containers all over. Inside these containers you wouldn't know if you were going to find leftovers or butter. It was something that always made me laugh and another sweet memory of grandma.  Now, back in the day, I don't remember if there was just one size that the butter came in or not. I don't even remember the flavor it had. It has been a very long time since I have had Country Crock. What I do remember about it is the memories that were made in the kitchen with grandma and hopefully I will be ab...

*I received this product free of charge to test and review. All opinions are my own!* Although I'm an esthetician (facialist) and have put lashes (individual and sets) on others, I really struggled to apply and keep these on. The first time, I was so excited to look hot for my date, I gave myself plenty of time to get ready and not be stressed about how I looked. I watched a few how to videos, just to brush up on the application process. I thought, wow, this is going to be easy! I made a huge mess on my eye, and it looked so bad after I tried to clean up. It looked like I got punched in the eyes and I had to really scrub to remove it. The second time, I used a little less adhesive and a lot more pressure. This time, I really thought it was going to work out, until it just fell off. *Sigh!* Kind of scared to try just one more time, but I will and hopefully I'll have a better report. I feel I failed badly and giving people in my type of work a bad name. Some positives that s...

* 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 a...

*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.

*Me and my family were given a Tastykake VoxBox from Influenster for testing and reviewing purposes. All opinions are honest and are my own unless otherwise noted.* When our celebration box was delivered to our doorstep one day right after my youngest daughter turned 5, I could have kicked myself for not recording the unboxing of it! Everyone was so anxious to see what was inside and I can tell you that the birthday girl was the most excited of all. She began thanking me and telling me I was the best mommy of all for "ordering" this package for "just her," but little did she know is that the box had 8 individual packages and inside of each there would be 3 minis. She then assumed the hat was her party hat, so we just went with it, she was having way too much fun!                                                             *M...
