Mamavoxbox has arived!

0 comments
So a few days ago I got my first Influenster vox box as they are called. This one was a Mamavoxbox. Items meant for mothers I suppose. Things they thought I would enjoy. I was so excited!! I love getting goodies in the mail and coming home to a box of stuff just for me is exciting! So upon opening I received these items.

Cue pic. Because you know... we all take pics of everything these days with our fancy phones.
Let me tell you... about this stuff. Thats why you came here right?

The Dr. Scholl's inserts are heavenly. I wear flats with no support in them everyday to work. They make such a difference in my shoes, I feel like I'm walking on little clouds of gel. My feet feel less tired. They have a sticky backing on them that keeps them in place while being worn. Although after wearing them for a few days the sticky becomes not so sticky and it started to flap around in my shoe while I was sitting at my desk. I found that washing them in warm water will restore the sticky! They are not too thick since they are made to fit in womens shoes like flats or heels. I don't feel them on my feet when I am sitting but when I walk I definitely feel the extra cushion on my heels. They have some cushion on the balls of my feet but not too much. I think maybe concentrating a bit more cushion there would make them ideal for heels since thats where alot of weight is being placed when walking.

The belVita Oats and Chocolate cookies... I was not a fan of. They are soft but maybe too soft. They fell apart as I ate them. They tasted a bit off too... less cookie like and more vitamin like. Thats how I would describe it. Sweet factor was not there. They tasted very bland. The texture was what I expected out of an oatmeal cookie. A bit chewy which I don't mind in a cookie but maybe if the cookie held together better and it was a bit sweeter It would be more palatable.

Listen Annie... This isn't personal ok. I'm sure your full size box that needs boiling is awesome... But these microwave portions.... we need to talk. Sit down.... Are you sitting? OK.
I received the Real Aged Cheddar Microwave Mac and Cheese.
I followed direction. Add water to the line. Check! Stick in microwave for 2 min...Check! I added the cheese packet. Check! I did what the label told me to. Then I mixed the bejesus out of it and well.... Some of the noodles were still hard. It tasted good when I didn't bite into a glop of hard noodles. I ended up searching for all the hard noodles and ended up throwing out about half the container. There wasn't much to begin with. I will say the cheese flavoring is good. But the noodles were hard. Annie why did you do this to me?! I wanted to like you. Better luck next time champ. Maybe I'll give you a second try...

Last but not least... Ponds...I love that you sent me 2 colors incase one didn't fit my skin tone. The medium was perfect for my hispanic skin tone. It glides in smooth and evens out my skin tone very well. I didn't feel like I had any thing on my face which is a huge plus. I hate the feeling of cakey makeup. I will definitely be changing my brand of bb cream when this runs out!


TruMoo Chocolate milk.

      One of my newest bzzagent campaigns is for TruMoo flavored milk. I got a whole gallon of the stuff. Score!
     When I came home with it today my daughters eyes lit up. I usually get the chocolate syrup to add to milk. Once in a blue moon I'll splurge on the good stuff.. The pre mixed chocolate milk. We are a chocolate milk family. I for one don't like milk too much. I don't like the taste of regular milk alone. I have to have it with something really sweet like cookies or sweet bread. The kid on the on the other hand will drink milk alone until her tummy hurts.
     I usually like my chocolate milk on the sweet side... For myself... but for the kid I like it less sweet. I don't need her jumping off the walls at all hours of the night so the fact that it has less sugar than most chocolate milks is already a plus by me. It was smooth and silky but also it wasn't thick. I loved it.
     This is definitely a product I would buy in the future to treat my daughter. She loves it! Also a big plus is that she has no idea its good for you hehehe. Love when I sneak nutrition in on her!

     They have a contest running right now that I hope I win. ( Lets be honest... I hope to win every contest I
 enter lol)
     So if you happen to buy a gallon make sure to check the cap for a code to enter at their website

GOOD LUCK!

Welcome to Confessions of a Commercial Guinea Pig,
            I have done surveys and free sample surveys for years. I mean who doesn't like getting free stuff and free money right? For me it started with finding samples online. I'd try them and then a few weeks later I would receive an email asking what I thought about it and I would fill them out. Sometimes they even offered me points toward a larger prize! Then out of the blue I was invited in to a large electronics store consumer panel...I had to watch their potential commercials and critique them and I would get paid in store credit. This fueled my Sims 2 addiction. This is topic for a whole other blog though.
           It wasn't until recently that I discovered the world of Bzzagent  and Influenster... They send you boxes of different products and you have to try them and write reviews for them. When I first heard of this I was like "So you're going to give me stuff... for free... and all I have to do is give you a genuine review and share these with friends and family?" Sounds like a great deal to me!
           Hence why I have decided to write this blog. I will post when I receive goodie boxes and I will give you accurate reviews. I don't get paid to tell you anything about these products but I figured I already have to write about them if I want to continue getting them ( yes please I like free stuff!) So why not share and post the reviews here also. I will also post links to cool free stuff when I come across them.

           So on that note... Sit back and enjoy reading about free cool stuffs I get.
