Glade 2in1 Moonlit Walk & Wandering Stream Scented Candles
love love love this product. My fiancé is a smoker and I hate the smell when he smokes in our room, so I have him light this candle. I didn't think it would work at first, but it masks the smell during and after he has a cigarette. I have since bought another pack of these and I would say well worth the money you spend on them without a doubt. As a candle lover I recommend this one.
Crowdtap Samples
So two of my crowdtap samples came yesterday, the slow cooker liners, and the cookie baking sheets. I was super excited to use them so I did yesterday and today in fact I used the liners for slow cooker meals. I must say that I love the liners there is practically no clean up. I cooked, took the bag out and dumped the leftovers and threw the bag away. I did wipe down the inside of the slow cooker because I am a germaphobe sometimes but there was no soaking and scrubbing. I highly recommend this product for easy clean up after a slow cooked meal. I will definitely be buying these. Below are some pictures of prep and when it first started cooking. Sorry didn't get any after photos lol. I will update after I use the baking sheets.

VOXBOX
So excited my voxbox came today. It had Way Better Snacks (Sweet Chili), ac coupon for Hormel Taco Meats (Can't wait to try), Suave Professionals shampoo and conditioner, and Dr Teal's. I cannot wait to tell you all about these items and whether they are hits or not.
I didn't wait long before trying the Sweet Chili tortilla chips, and I'm glad I did not. These were delicious, most people like myself see chili and think hot, these were far from that. They had the perfect amount of sweet and heat, your mouth won't be on fire after a couple chips (like some other brands). I would recommend this product, it is vegan and gluten-free which are added bonuses. You can see the grains in the chip making them all that much better.
I'll update on the rest of the products as they are used!
UPDATE!
Used two more of my voxbox products the Hormel Taco Crumbles and the Dr. Teals.
Hormel Taco Crumbles, I was quite disappointed in this product. The meat was kinda rubbery and the taste wasn't really fresh tasting. It was edible so in a pinch if you need something quick they would do but I definitely wouldn't recommend this product. I would say homemade is the way to go.
Dr. Teals Lavender Epsom Salt, I used this last night because I was having horrible back pain and I must say I loved it. The fragrance was so relaxing. I would have liked it to maybe help the pain a little more but it's not a miracle product. I would recommend this product after a hard, long day. Just soak in a nice hot bath with some soothing music and Dr Teals :)

Remington Straightener/ Jane Iredale/ Clinque/ Coconut milk anti breakage serum
Hello friends! Today I am going to be reviewing Remington Straightener, Jane Iredale and Clinique foundation, and Coconut milk Anti breakage serum.
Now lets look at the foundation. On the left are before and after photos using the Clinique product and on the right is the Jane Iredale product. As you can see from the before pictures I suffer from some dark spots and redness on my cheeks. With the clinique product you see that the spots are almost unrecognizable and the redness is gone. Then you look at the Jane Iredale product which slightly covers the red and spots but not as well as the clinique. I would recommend both of these products however if you have dark spots like mine I would say go with the clinique as it works better for this issue.
Clinique-After Jane Iredale-After
Lets start with the Remington Studio Pink Straightener and Coconut milk anti breakage serum. I love these products and use them often to straighten my hair. As you can see from the pictures below my hair is curly and frizzy. I take my hair and blow dry it, then put in the serum. This not only smells great but helps my hair stay smooth for days. Then I heat my straightener to 455 degrees and go through my hair. I recommend this straightener to anyone with hair like mine.

PINCHME!
Super excited my first ever PinchMe box came in the mail today. It included beyond dog food, for my Allie girl to test, gold bond ultimate strength and resilience, and Olay moisturizing body wash. I am so excited to try these products and let everyone know how they are, so stay tuned.
UPDATE:
Allie has eaten all of her dog food and she loved it. I am considering switching the food she currently eats. I have used the whole tube of gold bond and it has left my skin feeling smooth! There are few things better than not having dry, cracked, nasty hands in the winter time, this product came just in time. And last but not least the Olay body wash, another hit for me, I loved coming out of the shower and not having to glob on lotion for silky skin. All in all I say that this PinchMe box was 100% hit for me.

Reviews part 1
I typically give 2 weeks before I write reviews on items based on what they are. I have blankets and a bed and frame and curtains and then I have makeup etc. that sometimes I'll wait a little longer to do.
Here are all the reviews I have for you today:
Ozeri Precision II Digital Bathroom Scale (440 lbs Capacity), with Weight Change Detection Technology & StepOn Activation
I received this item for free for an honest review. I love this scale, right before I got this offer I purchased a scale and guess what, that scale was returned. Some people said they had problems with the weights varying but I did not. I did however notice that if you move the scale especially in bathrooms that have the textured flooring that it will differ, mainly because the surface is not even. I stepped on this scale multiple times in the same spot to ensure I got the same weight, After about 2 weeks of use I see no problems with this scale.
Lucid 10" Memory Foam Dual-Layered Mattress, Queen
I am in love with this mattress, my fiance and I have been trying to find a mattress we felt would be good for us both especially with myself having a herniated disk. We went out on a limb and based on others reviews purchased this item. I could not be happier we did so here I am writing my own so everyone knows how incredibly comfortable this mattress is. We have had this mattress a couple of weeks now and have no complaints. It does say to let it rise for 48 hours, we waited not even a whole day and it rose just fine. This mattress makes falling asleep and staying asleep easy.
Sleep Master SmartBase Mattress Foundation/Platform Bed Frame/Box Spring Replacement/Quiet Noise-Free/Maximum Under-bed Storage, Queen
This frame has proven to be very sturdy, my fiance and I are not small and this frame has held both of us and our pitbull with no problems. There has been no bending, screeching, any signs at all of the frame not being sturdy.
LUCID Premium Hypoallergenic 100% Waterproof Mattress Protector - 15 Year Warranty - Vinyl Free - Queen
This product has been tested and receives my gratitude and seal of approval. My puppy peed on our bed A LOT and the only thing that saved my mattress topper and be was this wonderful waterproof pad. I am so thankful that this product has proven true to what it says and was not a disappointment, especially since the bed is only two weeks old. Thank you LUCID.

Honesty is the best policy
I am new to this blogging, so let's begin there. This blog will contain honest reviews for items I receive for free, discounted, through my Ipsy, Walmart beauty box subscriptions, and Target beauty box. There are a few things I have learned from researching doing reviews online that I would like to share with you. First, not everything is free and there are times that you may not get an offer, do not get mad, just wait for the next opportunity. There are so many sites out there that offer samples, get them, review them, and maybe you will start getting more. I started out at Amazon review club and thought they were awesome, still do, but now I have quite a few more. I have learned that reviewing does not mean putting what someone wants to hear, that will get you nowhere, Honesty is the best policy when it comes to reviews. People do not want to read how great a product is and then get it and it's not what they expect. I will be reviewing my boxes as they come in. Hope you enjoy, please follow me for updates!
