Victoria's Secret Sport

*I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.All opinions and words are my own. 


I was so excited when I was accepted to try out the Victoria's Secret Sport voxbox from Influenster. I am working more and more teaching yoga classes, taking yoga classes and living in yoga clothes, which I don't mind one bit. I can always use more sports bras and yoga pants. 
I have never tried VS Pink yoga pants before but I have heard they are see through. One thing you do not want if you are inches away from your neighbor in a class and bending over. These new yoga sport pants are great. Thick enough to not show anything but not thick enough to be suffocating in a hot yoga class. I love the cut on them too. Very flattering.
The bra is amazing. I am a lot smaller since breastfeeding and I hate wearing sports bras that just push anything I do have completely flat. The VS Sports bra has great form, lift and hold all in one. I was able to get my actual bra size, not just small, medium, etc. The best part though, the zipper closure up the front. After a hot yoga class, I'm dripping and don't have any strength to even wiggle out of a sports bra. By far this is my favorite sports bra I own.

govoxbox

Influenster sent me their new GoVoxBox to try out. This might have been the best box I have reviewed yet. There were a few items I couldn't use but I passed along to friends to try out. My favorite was the Blue Diamond blueberry flavored almonds. I thought they might be too artificial flavor for me but I really liked them. I found out there are a ton of other flavors that I can't wait to check out. 
Elinor and I had a pedi date with the Aqua Spa body cream and the Profoot Pedi Rock. The lotion smells awesome and made our feet so soft. The rock is so cool. It isn't hard which I was surprised about. Made it easy to grip and really buff your heels. You can use it dry or wet in the shower. I haven't tried that yet but next time I will. My feet need a little rest sometimes and the Profoot Triad Orthotic felt like pillows in my shoes! 
The Vitamin Shoppe Next Step Fit N Full Protein Shake wasn't vegan. I passed it off to a friend but kept the next step Jaxx shaker cup. It was perfect for mixing my vegan protein shake on the go.


Here is a fun little video Dave and I made after a yoga class one day.

urban fudge

I hate washing my hair. I maybe wash it once a week. I do shower! I just hate the whole process of washing my hair. Because of this, I have tried so many brands of dry shampoo. Some I like a lot but they run out quick. Some are powder and work great but it's hard to get those white spots out of your hair. "Dave, did I rub all the dry shampoo in good enough or are there white spots?" "Nope you're good". Then way later in the day I realize half my head has white powder all over it. 


Influenster sent me a Target Spring Preview box. Mine included a can of Urban Fudge Dry Shampoo. Should I be worried how well they know me? Either way I was super excited to try it. Not even knowing the last time I washed my hair, I tried it out that day. I posted my after on instagram because I was embarrassed of my before. I hadn't brushed my hair and didn't even get all of it in the picture because I just wanted to try it out. This is probably how my hair looks everyday since I don't really pay attention to it. 
 AHHH! So many pictures of me...I'm going to hide now.

I contrasted the last picture so you can actually see my hair. So soft and not greasy! So far I am loving this. My hair smells so good after using it too. Like coconuts and the beach. The problem I've had with spray dry shampoo was it running out too fast. I will let you guys know how long this lasts but it didn't seem like I needed many spritz to cover my hair and I have really thick hair. I sprayed it on, waited 2 minutes and then brushed my hair. No styling products, no straightening, no curling and all the powder was gone. 


Influenster sent me this product for free to review but like always all opinions are my own.

Colgate optic white toothbrush + built-in whitening pen

Influenster sent me a Colgate optic white + built-in whitening pen to try out. I previously had an electric toothbrush that I wasn't too found of so I was looking forward to trying out a new toothbrush. This toothbrush isn't electric which is fine with me. There is a rubber textured spot on the back of the brush for scrubbing your tongue. I really liked that since I always brush my tongue too. The built-in whitening pen was way easier to use than I thought it would be. It comes sealed separate from the brush. You take the cap off and just insert it into the toothbrush to store. I am super scattered brained and I know 100% if the pen wasn't stored in the toothbrush, I would have lost it the first day. After brushing your teeth, all you do to whiten is turn the dial to click once or twice and scrub it on your teeth. The tip has rubbery little teeth so it is super easy to scrub every edge of your tooth. The only negative I could possibly give this product would be that you leave the whitening paste on your teeth and within minutes it dissolves. It really isn't an issue for me but I would figure some people wouldn't like it.
ignore the mess that I am
I'm am extremely picky about toothpaste. It has to be the right minty flavor and texture or I'm grossed out. I was nervous to try a new toothpaste but I went for it. I actually like the Optic White toothpaste way more than the kind I currently use. It is minty and refreshing just like my favorite gum.
I have been using my Colgate Optic White toothbrush and whitening pen for almost 4 days now and I can really tell a difference. With all the coffee I drink, I really needed some whitening!

JollyVoxBox from Influenster

The people at Influenster sent me their Jolly Voxbox to review some products. I was so excited to try everything out. Luckily it came during nap time so I could try some stuff right away.


My Jolly Voxbox included

Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer
NYC New York HD Color Trio Eye Shadow
Ducklings Mini Rolls Duck Tape
Puffs Tissues
Skinny Cow Candy



The color of the Rimmel London Show Off Lip Laquer was not one I would pick (stargazer). I tried it on alone but my lips and skin are too pale to pull of a gold. I did add it to my everyday sugar lip tint though and really liked it. It added more sparkle and shine for a night out. I love to wear lipgloss and have shiny lips but I hate how sticky it can be. Show Off Lip Lacquer does not feel sticky or tacky. I was really happy with how smooth and how long it lasts during the day. There are 13 shades available including a really pretty red (big bang) that I want to try.

I don't wear eye makeup very often. The eye makeup I have was one I was shown how to put on in a store. I'm terrible at makeup, someone help! The NYC New York HD Color Trio Eye Shadow comes in really pretty colors that go on easy. I have had drugstore makeup that look pretty but don't glide on my skin smooth. This was what I tried right away during nap time. It took just a few minutes to brush some strokes of color where the package suggests to and I was done. I'm wearing it again today because I love the way it makes my eyes pop.

Ducklings Mini Rolls Duck Tape was the product I was most excited about. I like having colorful tapes around to decorate packages and use for crafts with Elinor. I used my tape to wrap some presents with just paperbags, tape and scissors. Sometimes forgetting my reusable bags when I go to the store comes in handy.

With all the little sniffles going around right now, we have been running out of tissues so fast. I always have my pockets and the diaper bag stuffed with used/maybe new tissues and toilet paper. I know, gross. It make it so much easier when I have a travel pack of Puffs in the bag.

Since the box of Skinny Cow Candy isn't vegan, I won't be able to review it. But it will be a great gift for someone!

Actually all of these would be good stocking stuffers.
