Influenster Revive VoxBox!

I know I am posting at an odd day of the week, but I just needed to let you all know that I received a new Influenster VoxBox!!

I love these things, they are so much fun!  It's better than a subscription because you don't have to pay, and the products and timing are a COMPLETE surprise!  It's like a mini Christmas!  If you would like to try out this service where they send you products to review, you can sign up here: www.influenster.com/refferal 

This was an end of Summer box all centered around fitness, and I am even surprised at how much I liked it!

The first (and largest) thing in the box was this Body Tech shaker bottle... Now, I have never actually owned or used one of these and I am kind of confused honestly!  From what I can tell, you pour water or a liquid of your choice into the cup, along with a protein powder or protein shake mix, and then shake until it is combined.  I generally mix my protein powder into things, and the thought of it alone with water sounds kind of gross to me... But my cousin is a body builder so my guess is that he could use something like this better than me!

In this box I also received three different types of protein powder from The Vitamin Shoppe.  I think the first one, Next Step, is supposed to be a full on protein shake to go with the bottle instead of just a stand alone powder, and it is Cookies and Cream flavor!  I will probably use this as an addition to smoothies instead of a stand alone shake, so I'm still pretty happy! It contains 14 grams of protein in the full packet.

The second protein powder from The Vitamin Shoppe is the Whey Tech Pro 24 protein powder in Strawberries and Cream flavor.  This packet contains 24 grams of protein!  I will also use this in my smoothies, I just haven't had the chance to as of yet.

The third protein powder from The Vitamin Shoppe is a Plant Protein powder in the flavor vanilla.  This one interested me the most, so I broke into it first when making my smoothies.  It contains 19 grams of protein in the entire packet, and I use about a teaspoon per smoothie.  The flavor of this protein powder is absolutely amazing!

  I make Peanut Butter and Jelly shakes, and the vanilla along with it just makes them so much sweeter without adding a ton of sugar.  I love it!
They look gross, but I promise these smoothies are great, let me know if you'd like to see a recipe!

To keep in line with the organic, healthy feel of everything they sent a sample packet of the Shea Moisture Fruit Infusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo and Creme Rinse.  These have a very pleasant and warm scent, but it is in no way overpowering.  It lather nicely, ran through my hair smoothly, and my hair looked great afterwords!  I would definitely consider buying these!  As a side note, I also really enjoyed how they made the sample packet of the "Creme Rinse" twice as big as the shampoo packet.  I can usually get two uses out of shampoo samples, but barely one from the conditioner... So very nice touch! 

I guess these are a healthy option for a "cookie"?  The SnackWells Biscuit Thins in the flavor French Vanilla Latte weren't my favorite, but they weren't bad!  There are four in a pack, and they also come in the flavors Carmel Macchiato and Dark Chocolate Mocha.  Their description states that they are a good source of protein and fiber, with 25 grams of whole grains, and they are made with real coffee!

I had these this morning with a Creme Brûlée Latte, and while they weren't bad, they weren't my favorite either.  Much more like a cracker than a cookie.   

Finally I was sent a sample box with three K-cups: Hill Bros Chock Full o'Nuts, and Kauai Coffee.  What makes these K-cups special and ties them in with the box is that the cups are biodegradable!  I think that is pretty awesome that companies are finally making this happen with so many people using a Keurig on a daily basis.  I do not have access to a Keurig here at college, so I gave them to my mom to try out and she said she really enjoyed them!  Even though I didn't get to consume these I am super excited about the concept, and that the companies are getting their name out!


This was such a fun and unique box, and I am so excited I got to be a part of it!  Thank you Influenster, and once again, if you'd like to be part of some their future campaigns you can sign up here: www.influenster.com/refferal 
Disclosure, I received this products for free from Influenster for testing purposes, but all opinions are my own.

My Everyday/Travel Makeup Bag

So as I was putting together the list for makeup bag that I will have with me in the car when I go on my trip to the beach this summer, I decided that you might want to know exactly what's in there and why I bring them :) The first thing I going to show you is this awesome pallet I found in a discount makeup store: It is a "Sweet by Day, Sexy by Night" pallet. On one side it has a dark brown and a champagne shade eye shadow, a light and a dark shade of bronzer, a light and dark brown shade of lipgloss, and two small applicators. On the other it has a light shade of pink and an almost purple eye shadow, a light and dark shade of blush, a light and dark shade of pink lipgloss, and two small applicators. You can buy it at www.amazon.com/day-to-night for $5. I thought this was the most simple way to pack all that i would need! Next I'm going to show you the face products I am bringing: They are: The Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder The ELF Aloe Infus...

Winter As a College Student

Let me just tell you, there isn't a thing in the world fun about a dorm room in the winter!  On the happen chance that yours is as old as mine (pre-1960s, thank you very much) you probably have radiators too, which personally, I have very little control over.  Even on the off setting they exude so much heat that the room is stifling!  And then you open the window and snow starts blowing in... Yay Appalachian Mountains! Let's just all agree that is quite a process.  So what is one to do to combat these cold (and getting colder!) temperatures? First, I've got two B's for you (mostly because I couldn't come up with a third...)  Blankets and Bedwarmers! Let's face it, dorm rooms are tiny and your bed is the focus of the majority of decor, as well as where you will be spending a large portion of your time (yay Netflix binges!) so you need to make sure it is super cozy! Personally, I have my sheets and comforter that I sleep under every night.  ...

VoxBox: Tressemé Beauty-Full Volume

I know I don't usually post at 9 o'clock on Monday nights, but I wanted to go ahead and get this out to you all while I had time, because... I got another VoxBox! This one was the Tresemmé Reverse Your Routine box with a full sized shampoo and conditioner. This is a Volumizing system, and is reffered to as "Reverse Your Routine" because you conditioner before you shampoo... Weird right?  I have to say I was a little confused and skeptical at first. The concept is that when you put conditioner in your hair and rinse then residue is left on weighing down your hair.  My thoughts were that the residue left were the moisturizing properties and that you wouldn't want to rid yourself of all of them... It just seemed a little pointless. I have been using this combination periodically for a few weeks now, and surprisingly I actually really like it!  When I get out of the shower my hair does feel much lighter than usual.  Though it is hard to tell if I have...
