I am thankful for my wonderful parents who do so much for me!

I recently received my Sprout VoxBox, filled with freebies to try, in return for my honest review of the products. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get a lot of full sized products to try, like I have gotten in the past, but other than that I really enjoyed getting try out the products I received. The EatSmart chips were delicious. They don’t have enough flavor to really enjoy them on their own, but they go great with hummus and salsa. I used the Orgain organic protein powder in one of my morning shakes, and it gave it a very nice vanilla flavor. The Ecos detergent packet was so small, that it wasn't enough to reach my minimum fill line in my washing machine, so I had to mix it with my normal detergent. So, I can’t say that it really did much more for my clothes than other brands of detergent out there. I liked the Hair Food shampoo and conditioner, but I didn't love it. It gave my hair a nice smell and made it soft, but it also made my hair look oily. The curate bar was my least favorite. There were too many flavors going on, so I won’t be purchasing this flavor. Overall, I was very happy with everything that I got to try.

Don't heat up the whole kitchen with a hot oven. Just pop Ellio's in the toaster oven!

Being in college I qualified for this box called the Campus VoxBox from influenster. The past few weeks I have been trying out the complimentary products you see here in this picture so that I can give them all an honest review. Well I honestly loved everything I got to try. The Sour Punch Straws and Sour Punch Punchies were awesome! I've always been a fan of sour candy and had been wanting to try some of their newer candy and I definitely was not disappointed. Their sourness actually does pack a punch. The full size sample of St. Ives Apricot Scrub made a huge difference for my face, after suffering from acne for years. I finally have the confidence to actually go out in public with no makeup on and I never could do that before. The Softlips Cube is my new favorite chapstick. It’s super cute and it makes your lips feel cool and relieved instantly after putting it on. Jergens Instant Sun gave me the natural tan look that I wanted. I have always struggled to find a tanning lotion that did’t make me look super orange and that actually worked fast and lasted a good while. Jergens offers you a natural dark tan, works quickly and lasts a long time before needing to be re-applied. I really liked the L’OREAL Paris sample products. It was a small sample so I can’t really give an honest opinion about how it might affect your hair after using it more than once, but the one time I did get to use it, it did impress me. I have naturally straight hair, but it does require straightening sometimes due to humidity. I happened to use this product on a rainy day and my hair actually lasted the whole day without needing to be straightened. It was awesome. All in all I can give all of these products a 5 star review because they all impressed me that much.

I recently received a complimentary full size sample of St. Ives Apricot Scrub from Influenster in the Campus VoxBox to test and review. I am in love with this facial scrub. The little beads help to scrub off all the dead skin that is responsible for the acne that I and most people around my age have to deal with on a daily basis. If you’re like me then you can relate to horror of waking up as a 20 year old with a new breakout. It’s awful. It makes you feel like crap. And sometimes it’s so hard to cover up with the makeup that is most likely only making it worse that you’d rather just stay inside all day long and hide from this judgmental society we live in. But St. Ives motto is to #LiveRadiantly and there facial scrub helps you do just that. After using the wash for a few weeks I saw a major difference in my face. It’s finally given me the confidence to go out without makeup because my face actually looks and feels radiant. And I've never been able to do that before without feeling uncomfortable with my appearance. St. Ives has a created a product that can restore confidence and a feeling of pride in your appearance. At least it did in my case. So give it a try.
