Influenster RoseVoxBox - Dr. Scholl's® Cozy Cushions Insoles

I recently received Dr. Scholl's For Her Cozy Cushions Insoles to try.  Overall, they did a good job.  I put them in a pair of old tennis shoes that the sole has come out of - the pair that I just can't seem to part with.  I am really impressed! They are so soft, yet don't make the shoes feel bulky or tight on my feet - and they keep my feet warm. Sometimes a little too warm, but as the temperatures get colder, I will appreciate the warmth even more.

BzzAgent: Kroger Skillet Meals

Recently, I had the opportunity to try some free products through BzzAgent - which are available at Kroger stores.  I tried a garlic bread, a salad kit, and a skillet meal. 

Overall, the salad kit was very convenient.  But, I think that there were not nearly enough of the toppings.  I had to add extra cheese to mine.  Also, I didn't like the dressing that was included, so I had to add my own - but my husband used the entire packet that came with the kit on his salad, so there wouldn't have been enough dressing if we had both used it.

I liked how the garlic bread came cut in half - so I was able to cook just part of it for this meal, and save the other half for another meal.  But, the flavor wasn't as strong as I typically like it to be.  I did enjoy how much bread we were each able to get with just half of the loaf though.

Overall, the skillet meal was really good.  There were a lot of varieties in the store to choose from, however, there was only one that I thought I would like.  Lots of the other ones sounded good, but each had 1 or more ingredients in them that I did not like, and I wasn't sure how easy it would be to "pick them out" of the meal.  So I chose the Chicken Alfredo skillet meal.  Compared to similar products, this one actually had a lot more steps.  Usually, you just put the whole bag in the pan and let it cook, covered, for a certain amount of time (while stirring occasionally).  However, this one I had to melt butter in the pan first, then add the bag of chicken, broccoli, and noodles plus water, and let that cook.  Then I had to add the sauce and cook that.  Even with all the extra steps, I still preferred it over other products.  The flavor was good and it didn't burn after only cooking for half of the time.  I would definitely recommend trying all of these products - and checking out bzzagent.com if you're not already a member!

Influenster - Colgate SlimSoft VoxBox

I received a complimentary Colgate SlimSoft toothbrush from Influenster.  Overall, I really like this toothbrush.  The bristles feel better than my old toothbrush - it has a luxurious/expensive feel to it.  I love how it keeps its shape after multiple brushings and the bristles don't seem to just tear or fall apart after only a few uses like my old brush.  I would recommend that anyone looking for a new brush should give this a try!

Influenster MamaVoxBox - Annie's Macaroni & Cheese Microwavable Cups

I recently received a cup of Annie's Macaroni & Cheese Microwavable Cups - Real Aged Cheddar to try.  It was easy to prepare and the directions were very easy to follow.  However, I really disliked the flavor of the Real Aged Cheddar.  One of my sons, however, ate the whole cup with no complaints!  I might have enjoyed one of the other flavors - but this one was not good.  As long as my kids will eat it though, it doesn't matter how much I like or dislike it - I'm just happy they ate it!

Influenster MamaVoxBox - Dr. Scholl's® For Her Comfort Insoles

I recently received Dr. Scholl's For Her Comfort Insoles to try.  Overall, they did a good job.  At the end of the day, my feet weren't as sore as they usually are, and the insoles seem to be holding up really well with daily use.  They did take a little while to get used to - I actually found them to initially be a little bit harder than my typical shoe insole.  But, even with that being said, I did like how it made my feet feel after a few hours of wearing them.  I would recommend these to anyone who has sore feet by the end of the day!  It's certainly worth giving it a try to see if it could work for you.

Crowdtap - Old Navy Sample & Share

Crowdtap is one of my favorite sites - and if you are not a member, you should be!  Click here to sign up and check it out - it's free: Crowdtap

Recently, I was selected for an Old Navy Sample & Share event called Sweat It Out in Old Navy Activewear!  I was supposed to go to an Old Navy store with a friend, and we each had a coupon to get a FREE activewear top and bottom, and we had to take pictures of us in the items we picked out. 

I gave my "friend" coupon to my sister-in-law, Carrie, and we met up after I got off work one night.  I was quite surprised by how small the activewear section actually was.  They fit a lot of stuff in there, but it didn't seem like there were really a whole lot of different selections/varieties to choose from.  Regardless, we both made multiple trips to the dressing room to try on everything.  Finally, after about an hour or so - we had made our decisions.  I picked out a purple jacket with gray pants, and Carrie picked out a black half-zip top and black pants.

I was the most nervous about being required to take the pictures in the store and how the employees would react to that - but they were all pretty easygoing and no problems came up, so that was a relief!  I'm so glad I had the opportunity and was selected for this event - it was so much fun being forced to try on clothes I wouldn't typically think twice about even looking at!  But I even surprised myself with how well some of the items fit.  We had a great time - so thank you, Crowdtap and Old Navy for this great opportunity!

Burt's Bees® Intense Hydration Bzz Campaign - Final Post

If you've been following my blog, you know that a current Bzz Campaign that I am in is for Burt's Bees^® Intense Hydration. I can not stress enough that this is a company to be signed up! Here is a direct link to their website for you to sign up if interested: Bzz Agent.

This campaign is closing very soon - so I'm getting in one last post to give a final review.  Overall, I would definitely recommend these products.  While they may not be something that I would personally use regularly, I know there are many of you out there that take great care of your face.  This would be the product line for you!  There are such a variety of products and they all work so well together.  I didn't try any of them separately - but together they seemed to really just work great.  My face feels better (even in the ever-changing Ohio weather!) and less dry - so I'd say it was a success!  Check ot the Burt Bees product lines and see what might work for you.
