Can't believe how long it's been since the last time I posted- over a year! I have no excuses, life just got in the way. I hadn't heard a peep from the folks at Influenster in a while, so imagine my surprise when I received the following email the other day:
"Wedding season is upon us and we want to send our best wishes to the bride, the bridesmaids, and the guests, too! A member of Influenster Nation AND a member of the wedding? It's a match made in heaven. We know it's meant to be and we want to show our love with the "Something Blue VoxBox."
This box is all about getting from the altar to the reception without a hitch....but we won't give any more clues, because your VoxBox is already on its way! "
I can't wait to see what kinds of fun goodies will be included!
I swear, the other day the Influenster webite had the cheat sheet up already (with the brand/hash tag info) nut it seems to have disappeared! I remember seeing Kiss, Dr. Scholl's, Urgent RX ( or something to that effect), mytriorings.com, and something to do with teeth whitening (maybe?). Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait - hopefully my Voxbox arrives before I go out of town next week - I'll be stalking my mailbox!

Bzzagent - Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine
I know, I know - my blog usually covers my Influenster Voxboxes, but I thought I'd branch out! Yesterday, I received my bzzkit from my latest bzzcampaign - if you aren't familiar with bzzagent.com, I highly recommend that you check them out! Here's a little background info about them from their website:
"Connecting people and their favorite brands since 2001, BzzAgent is the leading social marketing company. What's that mean to you? We put products in the hands of hundreds of thousands of real consumers and help them share their opinions about them with friends and family via reviews, Facebook posts, photos and videos, blog posts and more. We wouldn't call ourselves heroes, but it's okay if you want to."
My current bzzcampaign is for Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine. I received a full size shampoo AND conditioner to test!

I've only used it once, but so far, so good! It smells great, lathers well, and, if I do say so myself, m hair looked extra fabulous today! It has argan oil in it, which delivers long lasting shine to keep your hair looking sleek for 3 days- even in 97% humidity! It's reasonably priced (the line ranges from $3.99-$6.99) and you can get it any any mass retailer like Target, Walmart, Walgreens, etc.
In addition, the packaging contains PET and 30% recycled plastic- they're 10% lighter, which saves over 125 tons of plastic every year- who wouldn't love that?

Venus & Olay Razor
In my LoveBox from www.influenster .com, I received a Venus and Olay razor to test out - let me tell you - at first glance, this thin intimidated me! It looked HUGE! It has 5 (yes -FIVE!!!) blades, plus moisture strips on the top AND bottom! How crazy is that?
(Apologies for the crappy lighting - it doesn't do the product justice!) This razor is amazing the first time I used it, I could hardly feel it gliding against my skin - I thought 'wait a minute, is this thing even doing anything?" But let me tell you - it WAS - no need for shaving gel, it let my legs amazing smooth and soft. And with the temps in TX already in the mid 80's, I have a feeling this little razor will be getting a LOT of use over the next few months.
Oh, and another thing I love - it came with a little suction cup holder that you can attach to your shower wall - genius!
This product just became available 3/15 - so it's brand spanking new - visit www.gillettevenus.com for more info, or head over to your local drug store, grocery store or mass retailer. They are a little pricey ($8.99 - $10.99 for a starter pack w/ one cartridge, $14.99 - $19.49 for a a3 pack of replacement cartridges) but I promise you - it's worth every penny!
Kiss Nail Dress
So, you might recall from a previous post that I have horrible nails - they don't grow, I'm always picking at them - blech! I recently had the opportunity recently to try ANOTHER no muss, no fuss nail product - In my LoveBox from influenster.com, I received Kiss Nail Dress - it's like a nail polish sticker - you just peel, apply, and you're ready to go - in theory, they are supposed to last 10 DAYS! I plan to put that to the test!
Isn't that pattern fabulous! I little more "out there" than I usually go, but I think it will be fun for a night out! Who know? Maybe I can rock it at work too! They come in 18 different styles - some of them have gorgeous sparkly jewels that create a 3-d effect! (ok, is my inner girly girl showing?)
I love the fact that you can get these at stores that most people have easy access to, live CVS, Walgreen and Walmart - and for $6.99, the price can't be beat!
Check out www.KissNailDress.com for more info, and to scope out which Nail Dress you're going to try first!

Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Chocolate
Oh. My. God. I'm not a chocolate person by any stretch of the imagination, but this stuff is *good*, As I continue my journey of discovery through the LoveBox I received from www.influenster.com, I come across a Gharardelli Gourmet Milk Chocolate bar....wow!
It is sooooo rich and creamy! It absolutely just melts in your mouth, and isn't overwhelming sweet. A girl could get used to this! They have 3 flavors in the collection - Milk Creamy Devotion (which I received), Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape (sea salt and roasted almonds) and Gourmet Milk Coconut Rendezvous (toasted coconut flakes). Since my LoveBox includes a copuon for $1 off 2 chocolate bars, I have a feeling I'll be trying the other flavors very soon!
You can find Ghirardelli products at Target,Walmart, Safeway, Ralphs and Stop & Shop. Soon, you'll also be able to find them at Walgreens, HEB, Publix, A&P and Shoprite. Aand if you don't have any of these retailers in your area, visit www.ghirardelli.com

Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review
I'm on a product testing roll today - so excited that my LoveBox from http://www.influenster.com/ has finally arrived! Next up is Truvia - a natural, zero calorie sweetener.
I'm intrigued by this - apparently, it's made from the leaves of a stevia plant (I have no idea what that is!) - one packet is the equvilant of two teaspoons of sugar. The texture is more like that of real sugar than other artificial sweeteners - which I like. It seems like it's sweeter than Splenda (which I normally use) - I only used half a packet in my Stash Lemon Ginger tea - a little bit seems to go a long way!
If this sounds like something you'd want to try, you can find Truvia nationwide at mass retailers. For info, recipes and tips, visit www. truvia.com

Stash Herbal Tea Sampler
The wait is over - my LoveBox from Influenster.com arrived today! If you aren't familiar with http://www.influenster.com/, I strongly urge you to check them out and sign up - Influensters periodically receive free themed boxes of products to try that mach their lifestyle and interests..com
Since today is such a cold and rainy day, I figured it was a good time to sample some of the Stash Herbal Tea I received - the box contained 18 teabags (9 flavors, 2 bags of each). Disclaimer - not a *huge* tea drinker. I mean, we do drink a lot of iced tea down here in TX, but not so much on the hot stuff.....but I'm going to give this a whirl - the flavors sound *amazing*:
Acai Berry
Blueberry Superfruit
Chamomile
Cinnamon Apple Chamomile
Licorice Spice
Mango Passion fruit
Peppermint
Lemon Ginger
Wild Raspberry Hibiscus
Right now, I'm drinking the lemon ginger....and it smells and tastes fantastic! The only flavor that I probably won't like/try is licorice spice - not a big licorice fan.
Most of these flavors would be excellent hot or iced. It this product sounds like your cup of tea (terrible pun, I know - but I couldn't resist!) you can purchase Stash Herbal Tea at grocery stores, coffee shops mass retailers or online at http://www.stashtea.com/
