Dorm Life VoxBox


I got another VoxBox from Influenster!  This is a company that sends complementary products to a group of people in exchange for reviews and posts about them.  So this is sponsored in a way, but all opinions are 100% true and my own!  If you want to see allllll of my sponsored posts then check out my Instagram, because they are coming!  I am @bethanyallen15.

This is called the #DormLife VoxBox and it is themed around all the different kinds of things a college girl might want or need!

Look at all of the stuff in this box!  It is packed to the brim, and with a large variety of things, so let's get into it.


This is the Not Your Mother's Naturals Tapioca and Rice Dry Shampoo.  I loooove dry shampoo and use it on the daily, but personally, I am very loyal to Batiste brand.  I have tried a couple others and not really been impressed, but Not Your Mother's is usually a very nice brand, so I was super excited to give this a shot.  This retails for about $9.

This is the Alba Botanica AcneDote Face and Body Scrub.  It has a very nice lather, which I find to be lacking in a lot of facial scrubs.  Though the particles are smaller than a scrub like the St. Ives Apricot, it is still quite abrasive.  This might be a bit rough for regular use on the face, but I feel as if can really get in there on the body!  This has Salicylic Acid in it, which isn't always my favorite since I try to stick to natural treatments like tea tree oil, but if you like this ingredient then it will be great.  It retails for about $6-$7.

TMI Alert
These are the Tampax Pocket Pearl Regular size tampons.  These reminded me of the U-by-Kotex Click tampons.  They work the same way, where they are only the size of the tampon in the wrapper, and then once you open them you pull the handle of the applicator out until it clicks into place.  I actually really liked these!  I am not the biggest fan of tampons because I think they are uncomfortable, but these actually weren't!  Though they did leak a bit initially.  Overall though, I would buy these again, and it came with a coupon!  A box of 34 of these is about $7, but this only came with 3 so I don't have a price for that.

These are the Sour Punch Mini Bites in Assorted and Ragin' Reds.  These come in like an Oreo package where the top peels back and is resealable.  I am not the biggest fan of these already, but that is just a personal preference.  I gave the assorted ones to my roommate and kept the reds, because red is always best.  I looked, and I couldn't really find a set price for these.

This is the Balance Cookie Dough protein bar.  It had 15 grams of protein and 23 vitamins and minerals.  I love the idea of something that's a bit healthier tasting like a dessert, but I'm just not sure I believe that... Protein bars tend to always have a mealy texture that I'm not a fan of, but I'm totally willing to give this one a shot!  A box of six bars retails for about $5, which isn't too bad.

Finally, I received a color from the new Sinful Colors line called Punk Yourself.  The blue is actually a top coat, and it is in the color Rebel Rebel.  It also came with the color Snow Me White to use as a base.  So the thought is, you are supposed to paint a thin coat of the blue topcoat while the base is still wet.  In theory, the blue is supposed to bubble and pull together giving it a tie dyed look, but sadly, it looked more like I'd colored on my nails with a marker.  I'm going to give it another shot because I like the concept, but this just wasn't the best.  I usually love the Sinful Colors brand because they are good quality for a good price, so I'm not hating on the brand! This just wasn't my favorite polish line they've ever released.  If you do want to try it out they are only about $2 each, so you wouldn't be out much!

My Petal Club

A new box!  And a PERIOD subscription box at that!  I love finding new boxes to try out, especially when they are this affordable!  This box is normally $6.99 per month, but if you use the discount code "SUMMER" on mypetalclub.com , this box will be only $3.50!  And let's be honest, one box of pads/tampons is usually more expensive than that, so why not give it a try?? So this box primarily consists of just the period products with very few extras.  This isn't one of the present, feel-good kind of boxes, it just provides you with the necessary products to get through the month, at an affordable price. Step One The first thing you do on their website is choose the combination of products you will need.  Be warned, you aren't given as much of a selection if you order through Cratejoy like I did.  It worked totally fine and I still got the products I needed, but I like choice!  So I suggest going straight through their website....

To Do Before Going Down To The Beach

So you are going down to the beach tomorrow, but what are you supposed to do before you go down? So yea I know this seems kind of like a common sense post, but you wouldn't believe how many people skip simple things before going down to the beach, things that can make the whole experience soooo much better! Well the very first thing to do would be to pack your beach bag but i've already made a MUCH more detailed post on that and you can see that at  summertimesweety.blogspot.com/beach-bags 1. So the first thing, picking your bathing suit and cover up There are some bathing suits that look better on some body types than others and even though I plan to have that post up in the future...I don't right now. As for cover ups, I recommend them so you will be able to put something back on if you get to much sun. When I wear a bathing suit I usually wear board shorts over the bottoms anyway, then I put on a cute little dress or cami. Well I really hope that I would...

Fab Ab February

So I have been big into working out lately, because who doesn't want to look their very best when vacation time comes! I found this workout calendar on Pinterest so I'm not able to give you the link to the exact website but I thought if you liked it enough you could copy, or print it out. I have been looking for the rest of the months that go with this but so far this is the only one I've found. I am doing it myself and so far its working pretty well, I would love for you to do this with me, just comment below and tell me any of your thoughts about it . Enjoy!! :)
