Beautiful Skin for my Sensitive Skin

My skin is extremely important to me.  I've made it a priority to take care of it and I'm always looking for great products to help me with that.  My nighttime regiment can be a very long process, but I want to look my best so I primp, maybe more than others.  There are a lot of products out there that serve individual purposes when it comes to cleaning and moisturizing the skin, so when I received Boots No. 7 Beautiful Skin from Influenster with my Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012 I was a little skeptical.  I had not heard of the brand before and I can be set in my ways.

When I first tried the hypo-allergenic system I was happy by the lightweight formula that makes up the cleansing portion of this process.  I use a face brush when cleaning my face to really get in to my pores and this cleanser worked well.  What I like most is the Night Cream for Dry/Very Dry Skin.  This moisturizer has a very light fragrance to it that was nice and calming.  My skin has felt and looked great for the last week.  I am very happy to be using this product and found it right away at Target.

Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin

I have been eyeing-up the Spin Pin for a long long time.  I go thru bobby pins like crazy and they're constantly found all over my house instead of in my hair.  It drives my husband nuts!  LOL.  I always wondered if the spin pin had the abillity to actually do what it advertised even with the weight of my long hair so I was more than happy when Influenster sent the Spin Pin by Goody Hair with the Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012.  I was pleasatly surprised when I played around...and even go a bunch of compliments at work when I wore a cute hairstyle using the spin pin.

While I really enjoyed how my hair looked and how easy it was to use....not to mention my hair held extremely well...even on a really busy Saturday night serving tables...I don't feel like I have as much control of my hairstyle when using the spin pin.  It basically ended up with my style being determined by how the pin went in and the hair fell.  Don't get me wrong though, I will continue to use this on my hair regularly.

Glade Expressions Have Made an Impression

As a BzzAgent I love the variety of products we get to test and talk about.  The opportunity to test the Glade Expressions Collection was no different.  I have for a long time been a fan of Glade products.  There is always a wonderful candle that is filling my living room with a great scent.  I had long been thinking about the Glade Expressions line before I was chosen to Bzz about it so I was more than excited.

The Glade Expressions Collection has four amazing options to choose from in two options: the stylish oil diffuser and a fragrance mist can.  The scents to choose from are Pineapple & Mangosteen, Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice, Cotton & Italian Mandarin, and Lavender & Juniper Berry.  I started with the Reed Diffuser in Pineapple & Mangosteen and have been overly pleased with that decision. 

My house has been flooded with the sweet but light enough scent and the reed diffuser looks great amongst my existing decor.  I've gotten lots of compliments and people can't believe it when I tell them it's Glade!  No need to hide...see the diffuser in my house below.

I use the Fragrance Mist in other rooms of my house and again, I'm nothing less than happy and proud that my home has an inviting scent immediately upon walking in.  My Glade, my way.

UNREAL Candy

So this is a candy I had never even heard of, never seen and didn't even know where to find when I first heard about it...so I was VERY interested to try it.

Candy without the junk...or "unjunked" as they advertise sounds great since everyone in my house has a sweet tooth (including myself).  In our efforts to live a healthier lifestyle, indulging in chocolate isn't exactly something we should be doing...enter UNREAL Candy.

So what is it?

UNREAL candy contains NO corn syrup, NO partially hydrogenated oils, NO artificial ingredients, NO GMO's, NO preservatives and less sugar.  This is what we're looking for.  But how did it taste?

GREAT!  It took a minute to get used to the colors of the UNREAL #41 (M&M style candy) since there are no artificial ingredients, but once I tried it these were good.  My 5-year old son just loves them!  My personal favorite is UNREAL #77 (peanut butter cup style) and I'm really looking forward to trying UNREAL #8 (snickers style!!!) but they don't have that yet at my Walgreens.

Check it out at getUNREAL and start enjoying candies without the junk.

5-hour ENERGY®

5-hour ENERGY®: Thx @5hourenergyguy 4 my free shot! #5hourmission

I was so happy to be chosen for the 5-hour ENERGY mission because this is something that my husband and I literally can't live without.  We live busy lifestyles as not only parents and full-time employees for stressful businesses...but in "free-time" we are both musicians and have to keep the energy up and going going going for late night rehearsals during the week and multiple shows all weekend.

I was happy to be provided with a free sample and actually learn some interesting facts about 5-hour energy...like:  A) 5-hour ENERGY is packed with B-vitamins and nutrients, B) It complies with the provisions of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act as regulated by the FDA, and not only is it made in the USA, it's in its 8th year of helping hard working people feel alert and energized.

Try it now!!  Did I mention great flavor?!
