I love the imPRESS Press-on Manicure. They are so easy to apply, it takes no more than 5 minuets to apply, that's fitting and applying together.They are perfect for everyday wear, they look so natural and you can't even feel them. They come in an amazing variety of 36 colors and patterns so there is a set of nails for every outfit. I love that there are 24 nails in each box, that's enough for 2 sets!! Considering this the price makes for an amazing value. I received my nails and was able to do my nails and my sisters. I received them in the Stiletto color, it's a beautiful brown tone. I applied some nail art for a little pizazz. They lasted a little over a week so in my opinion that's amazing considering they are press on nails. I wore my nails to school and got so many compliments, even from my professor who is a male! He asked whether they were my real nails, he said I have very nice nails, but little did he know they were press on nails. The imPRESS nails are one of the best things invented, they are sold for a great price, they look amazing and they are so easy to apply an added bonus is the variety. They are a must have year round!!

Quakers Soft Baked Cookie

Enjoy chewy, soft-baked cookies in a family-favorite flavor! With wholesome Quaker Oats and delicious raisins, you’ll never remember they came from our kitchen instead of yours. The Quaker Oatmeal Cookies are Made with Whole Grain Quaker Oats, are individually packaged, they Provides a good source of fiber, and they Contain 6 grams of total fat per serving.

I have found heaven in a little bag. The Quaker company has some amazing new soft baked cookies. They maybe be the best cookies I have ever tasted, they remind me of a hot batch of cookies coming out of my grandmas oven. The cookie is a great size, and leaves you very satisfied. They offer these cookies in amazing flavors, I have not been able to try them all yet but what I have been able to taste has been delicious! I am making it my mission to try all the flavors.

The available flavors come in Banana Nut, Raisin, Cranberry & Yogurt, Chocolate & Almond, and Apple Cinnamon, so there is definitely a flavor for everyone. Yummy! I am torn between is the Oatmeal Raisin and the Banana Nut for my top flavor. I am excited to try the Cranberry & Yogurt and the Apple Cinnamon. I bet they're great too. I have found these cookies at great value prices at many stores, so they have to be somewhere near you. Next time you go grocery shopping pick up a box or 2, heck why not try em' all. You won't regret it. You can find Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies at most major retailers.

 Suggested retail price: $2.69 for a box of 6 cookies

Influenster Mom VoxBox 2012

The Influenster Mom VoxBox was a great surprise. It contained all of the things listed above. 

The Quaker Oatmeal Raisin Soft Cookie was amazing enough said.

These are so convenient, great for on the go moms and their kids. The adult picks have a very refreshing mint taste that isn't over bearing. The kids picks are berry flavored, I didn't hear any complaints. I do suggest taking the pack along with you because you may need about 2 or 3 to get the job done depending on how tight the space is between teeth.

 The Stash Super Fruit Tea Sampler was new to me. I had never heard nor seen this product. I immediately fell in love with it. The flavors are amazing and there is such a variety available in this pack. My favorite was the Pomegranate Raspberry Green Tea. The flavors are so perfectly blended and the aroma is quite heavenly. *Note that I did use the Nektar natural sweetener in my tea for added flavor.  All of these teas can be the perfect pick me up in the morning or even a great relaxing cup before bed, its your choice. 5 STARS!!! My new favorite tea. I recommend if drinking in the morning add fresh fruit and ice to your tea, if at night use the Nektar sweetener for a perfect blend of relaxation.

The NEKTAR honey crystals maybe one of the best things invented. Its the complete taste of honey nothing else. These are organic so they're great and all natural, which makes for a great natural sweetener. They are perfect for an extra kick of sweet in your recipes or perfect for blending into your teas. I loved them so much. Definitely worth a try. 

The imPress Press on Manicure is perfect for moms on the go who don't have time to get to the salon for manicures or acrylic sets. These come in an amazing variety of colors and patterns to choose  from. As listed above you can find them for about $5.99-7.99 depending on your access to stores. I recommend Walmart, they carry the most variety that I have been able to see. *Quick Tip- if you use a nail file on your entire nail then clean it off with 100% acetone you have much longer lasting results. You can also apply a drop of super glue to get even longer wear. Now keep in mind they are press on nails, don't expect the results of an acrylic set the average wear time varies from about a day or 2 to about a week is the longest I have seen someone wear them for. I got a good 3 days out of mine. Well worth it inexpensive, quick easy, perfect for moms and anyone in a hurry with no time for the salon. There are 24 nails in one package, I was able to get 2 sets out of this one package so I decided to share with my sister. :D With plain colors you can add nail art using polish like we did for a pop.

*Shown above is our Ivory Soap Bar Cloud*

Last but not least, was the Ivory Soap Bar. Who knew all the amazing things an Ivory bar could be used for. I tried chopping the bard into a few pieces and throwing them into the wash as laundry detergent, the soap does a great job and leaves the clothing smelling freshly cleaned. I have heard of using it to make candles, and even to brush your teeth. I wasn't that brave. I did however try the microwave experiment and it was so much fun and very fascinating for younger kids. Here is the link I used to perform the experiment along with others to find unique uses for Ivory Soap, they just might surprise you.

Smooth 'N Shine® Keratin Power

Semi-Permanent Hair Tamer

I recieved a campaign invitation from BzzAgent to the Smooth 'N Shine® Keratin Power Semi-Permanent Hair Tamer. My hair is naturally striaght but I still wanted to give the product a try so I enlisted the help of one of my sisters. My sister has very wavy hair, with some small curls here and there and other pieces of dead straight hair. Its so weird. I will be testing the product on her hair to see if it really works.

"The Smooth 'N Shine® Keratin Power Semi-Permanent Hair Tamer is "A gentler, more manageable approach to taming your curls and frizzthan relaxing. Keratin 4 + Aloe breakthrough chemistry offers lasting versatility, giving you the KERATIN POWER to choose whether you want to wear hair styled straight or "wash & go" manageable curls after one use! Transforms hair with up to 5X less damage than relaxers and *lasts up to 6 weeks on treated growth (or 5 washes)! This treatment is a gentle, semi-permanent taming product that won't damage hair structure by breaking hair bonds the way other permanent chemical treatments do, and will have a gradual and cumulative effect the more you use it! Great for root touch ups (not a root straightener) or taming in between relaxer use."

Here is the BEFORE: (I will post an update when the product is tested)

**UPDATE**

I was very unimpressed with the Smooth 'N Shine® Keratin Power Semi-Permanent Hair Tamer. The product seemed to be more of a one-time use type of thing. Flat ironing your hair takes less time or the same amount of time doing this treatment. It also left the hair extremely dry and damaged at the ends. The hair was relaxed but I am unsure if the damage was worth it. The product smelled horrible and very strong; definitely use this in a well-ventilated area. The product claims to last up to 6 weeks or 5 washes but after 1 day the hair was extremely oily only at the roots so it had to be washed but I waited the 3 days listed on the instructions to wash. After the wash the hair was virtually as it was before and very uneven. Depending on if you are willing to or not, I do recommend if you want the straighter hair do blow dry and flat iron, we didn't flat iron because the hair felt so dry and damaged and we didn't want to further damage the hair. If you normally do not use any type of tamer/relaxer in your hair then stick with your other options. Women who normally use these types of products may love their results whereas non users may hate the after feeling of your hair. Ofcourse with any product results will vary, in this case it just didn't work for us. Maybe it'll work for you. This product gets 1 star in Miss Brittney's book.
