Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal

I received Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal from Influenster to try out. It is great cause all you have to do is open add water and heat in the microwave. So simple to eat a healthy breakfast. If you are like me sometime I am eating while I am running out the door. It is easy to take with you even in the car. Keep the lid hand and at the next stop light open and devour. They say eating slowly is better for you and eating at each stop light takes a little time, so even better and the container keeps it warm too.
Check out their web page for more information and the other great flavors available HERE
See what others are saying on Influenster too right HERE.

The flavor I got was the Pistacio and Cherry Flavor. Something about a hot breakfast that make the day start off better, but in this case I just didn't care for the flavor of the cherry. I usually like most Quaker products and this ust happen to be a flavor I was not into. It did have lots of pistachios and large cherries and small chopped cherries in it. If you love this type of flavor in your oatmeal I am sure you will enjoy this. I just am a little picky when it comes to fruit in my food, but my son liked it so at least it did not go to waste. The neat thing about it too is that it fits in your car cup holder so you can munch on it at the stop lights too or your kids can eat it in the car on the way to drop them off at school. Time saver!!!

Resolutions CraveBox!

You have to love Cravebox. It has yet to let me down. I got the Resolutions Box. 

 This box was so full of items it was just great!

CocoaVia
these are similar to the single use packs you add to water. You can add the cocoa flavors to milk, coffee, hot or cold, yogurt, oatmeal I say Ice cream too. You can add the fruit flavored ones to water, smoothies or yogurt,

Smart Ones
One free smart ones product to help with the New Years Weight maintenance resolution. 
Around $3-$4

One simple bar. 
You can count the ingredients on both hands. Great amount of protein, perfect for post workout. I like the peanut one the best.  

Ok who doesn't love Wholly Guacamole? 
This is a must for the Superbowl!!!
Nachos and guacamole is a winning match. Creamy and buttery texture yum. Get the spicy one :) retail for about $6

A nice addition to the regular teas. To keep my new year in check. The grapefruit flavor is a nice surprise. I have never tried this flavor. I like it! 

I have to say I have not tried the TENs yet. I don't know what I am waiting for. The cans are too cute. 
10 calories is great considering the regular 7up is 140 calories and 38gm of sugar!!!! BAD!!
The regular A&W has 170 calories an 48gm sugar WORSE!!

SunRyp fruit source is All fruit.
this has 2 servings of fruit in one bar! Available at Safeway, Pavilions, Vons, Carrs, Genuardi's, Dominick's, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Raley's, Nob Hill Foods, Bristol Farms, Bel Air, Stater Bros. Markets and Albertsons.

So glad there were a couple girly products in the box. I was wanting to pick this up in the store. Glad I got the Pantene moisture whip to add a little moisture to my hair and have a little hold at he same time.  The Mary Kay eye cream this alone is worth $40.00! Way more than the cost of the box!

 Loving the Cravebox! It is usually like this, where the items in the box are worth more than double of the cost of the box we pay. It is a great deal!

Birchbox January 2013

Hey Birchbox!! 
This month is BEST YEAR EVER themed. I have heard some gripes about this months Birchbox, but I personally really liked my Birchbox. All the items were perfect for me. Finally I love every single item in my box. I normally love a few items or maybe even one, but I am happy everything was to my liking. For more information about any of the items click on the bold links. 
First item BODY was the Birchbox extra. It is the 100% pure body cream I was really loving the scent of this! It is like smelling and almost tasting like freshly baked cake or vanilla frosting or cake batter. The smell was delicious!!!! This is AMAZINGLY delectable!

Next is EYE the eyeko liquid eyeliner. So so happy to get this. It has the finest tip to do a very tight thin line or you can add a little pressure and make a thicker line this is quite amazing too! It has the blackest black pigment and does not come off when you get wet, but add a little pressure and wallah! gone! Love that! 


Next up! scent  Viva La Juicy Juicy Couture perfume sample. Not much to say. The scent spreaks for itself. It is fruity yummy and long lasting. It is one of my favorite scents. I just got a full size for Christmas! Love it!

Now on to hair... Amika color pHerfection Shampoo. The smell is AMAZING the function is just as expected. Keeps my hair soft and I actually love many Amika hair products. They work to perfection! Gotta get more with my Birchbox points from the Birchbox shop. 

lastly is for your face. This Myprime mattifying moisturizer does exactly as it is promised. No need to blot multiple times throught the day anymore :) it feel very light going on and does not cause my skin any issues. That is a plus plus plus. 
I though my Birchbox was just right. Well actually since Birchbox gives 4-5 deluxe sized samples every month I do wish that when we get a perfume sample we would get 5 samples. (not including the extra) This would make it even better! If you would like to join Birchbox sign up HERE
Thanks for stopping by

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine



I recieved the New York Color Liquid Lipshine in "Nude York City" from Influenster to try out. I have used this in the past and I actually have been using this lipshine for about a year. I love it! I can tell you from the year experience with it. It has the pwerfect smooth consistency and my favorite part is that it is sot sticky like the typical "lip gloss". This really is great to use and reapplying it to me is not an issue. The applicator is longer than most and is easy to apply. The scent is nice too. I have one at home and I keep one at my desk at work.  I actually stopped typing for a second just to re-apply it. Smells like cake :)

This is New York Color Liquid Lipshine inexpensive and is at about $2.49. "It has pure pigments that created a 3-D gloss effect. Vitamin E provides shine and a moisturizing feel. The formula is non-sticky, super shiny & soft. Available in 10  shades from neutral nudes, to berries & fuchsias." Available at: Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens, Family Dollar, Duane Reade, Kmart, HEB, and other locations too.  Visit newyorkcolor.com to see all the other items that you can get. All from about &0.99 - $4.99. You can't beat that deal!!

Kiss Nail Dress



I received the Kiss Nail Dress from Influenster.com in my Holiday VoxBox to test out and review.
I really loved this design!! It was a leopard print and really fun. I have used this design in the past and had nothing but compliments! As a repeat offender of the leopard print nail dress again nothing but compliments which is always great to have. It does go on my nails with a little wrinkling, but because of the design it is barely noticeable. If you have flat nail beds it will go on perfectly without any wrinkles. I personally have very arched nail beds so that makes it a little more difficult to lay flat on my nails. 
To remove it is so easy. Just peel a little corner near your cuticle and peel off. Easy...


Check out the KISS nail site HERE or check out any reviews HERE on the Influenster site. 
You can get these nail dress stickers at nearly any drugstore. I have seen them at my local CVS, Target and Walgreens for around $7. There are always coupons available and I love that! Check out their Facebook page too!. They always have fantastic giveaways  there too! I have actually won a grand prize from them in the past! They are so much fun to wear and last. Just be sure to let them sit for a few minutes on your nails before digging in any dirt LOL. I only say that cause I actually did some down and dirty gardening with them on and they did not even lift up off my nails. Now that's durable :)

If you would like a great discount check this out!

Thanks!
