Strawberry HBO complementary test

I received the Strawberry honey bunches of oats free for testing purposes. Really tasty! The strawberries are surprisingly good - milk rehydrated them perfectly! I loved the crunchy oats & how they contrasted with the softer texture of the strawberries.

I tried the Nestle Splash water in mandarin orange. While flavored water is not my favorite, this wasn’t bad. Nice orange taste without too much of an after taste. I recommend it for a summer party or cookout when you want something hydrating but not pop or water.

What beverages do you normally consume and how has Nestle Splash helped establish healthier habits? I typically drink water or coffee and occasionally juice. Nestle Splash wouldn't be a big lifestyle change for me, however, I can see how a big pop drinker would find this a great way to cut down on pop without cutting out flavor.

Is it as refreshing as your typical beverage of choice? My beverage of choice is still water, so actually no. Again, it would be a nice change of pace at a BBQ or summer outing though.

Disclaimer: I received my Nestlé Splash products complimentary from Influenster (all opinions are my own) and am entering the Brand Challenge for a chance to win a prize.

Solid box this time! I gave separate, more complete reviews of each product, but recommend all of the products - only two I’m not planning on buying again are the nail polish because matte isn’t my favorite style for nail polish. I'm not a huge fan of pads, so I probably won't buy those again. But the downy laundry refresher, dickinson’s witch hazel, Pantene shampoo & conditioner and cutex nail polish remover – I expect to buy all of these again.

All products were provided free in exchange for an honest review.

Great toner to prep skin for moisturizer. I received this free for testing purposes - it is a giant bottle :) witch hazel has an unusual fragrance, but it doesn't bother me.

Seriously, my favorite part of this Vox Box. This product works so well! Leaves my laundry smelling fresh days later. I received this for free in exchange for an honest review.

Decent nail polish. It dried really quickly, but also flaked off pretty quickly. It's not pricey so at least there is that - but I probably wouldn't buy. I received it free for testing from influenster in exchange for an honest review.

I'm not typically a huge fan of pads, these were sent to me for testing purposes in exchange for an honest review. They worked well and didn't bother me as much as I thought they would.

Got this for free for testing purposes!! And I'm extremely excited about it. They work really well - Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo & Conditioner. I have wavy/curly hair that gets frizzy with even the slightest humidity. Great fragrance and reasonably priced at Target!

These Cutex advanced revival nail polish remover wipes are amazing! I hadn’t done anything but put nail polish on top of nail polish for a few months (gross, I know). It was easy to remove all polish - wiped right off. Received this complementary for testing purposes.

Next box for testing purposes coming up! This one might take a while - because there are so many awesome things in it! Stay toned!

This is the whole Sprout VoxBox (free from influenster for an honest review). The hair food sample was really nice (bottom right corner) - honey & apricot scent, my hair felt nice afterwards - moisturized & normal amount of volume.

Not my favorite part of the box - because sometimes lilies cause a minor allergic reaction. However, it worked out okay. No lingering scent & clean clothes - with no chemicals. I received this free in exchange for an honest review.

Another delightful addition in this awesome VoxBox was the Curate Dark & Tempting bar! I didn't think these flavors would work together - balsamic vinegar, orange, figs, & hazelnut - but I was very pleasantly surprised! Complex flavors, nice texture. Only draw-back - when I went to buy more, it was on the pricey side. I received this bar free for in exchange for an honest review.

So good! I received these eatsmart chips FREE from influenster in exchange for my honest review. They are delicious - spicy, nice crunch, so good with guac.

One of the samples I received as part of the Sprout Vox Box from influenster! I received this free in exchange for an honest review. Great plant-based protein powder - good tasting, blends well with cashew milk for a yummy & filling meal replacement.

Closet Cure - Apartment Therapy

So, if you are anything like me, your closet/dressers/etc end up a mess.  I have way too many clothes and not enough organization.  As a result, I’m going to go through the “Closet Cure” from apartment therapy - this should keep it to a minimum from a stress perspective (small tasks over a period of time should make it easier, right?

I’ll document this process here.  If you want to sign up - just go to apartment therapy. 

The first post was yesterday - just organising containers for sorting: keep, clean, maybe, no: donate, no: sell, no: trash.

Tried a new allergy product today - AllergEase. These are lozenges that can be taken like cough drops or mints. As someone who has suffered from allergies my whole life, these seem to be a gift from God. For the first time in the spring, I was able to breathe easy. I highly recommend this to anyone as an organic, natural way to manage allergies. I am still using my OTC allergy medicine (generic version of Claritin), but this is an excellent supplement to that on high pollen days.
