VoxBox Review

Hey! Welcome back! Ok so I am  more than excited to do a review on this box, which is the campus box from a company called Influenster. They sent me this box free of charge to review all the products and of course I love trying new products so here I am! 

Let me just say, any company that is going to send me FREE CANDY I am available to jump over the moon for you (haha). Who doesn't love free candy right? 

If you guessed it just by looking at my picture, yes, its raining today. No, I am not happy about the rain but I am defiantly feeling better while eating these. Im munching on the Punchies as I write and I can say they are amazing! They aren't too sour but they aren't too sweet. They are colorfully rounded and chewy and are perfect. Punches are addicting and I promised to leave some for my fiancé but I'm not to sure about that now! (haha). The rainbow straws are amazing. I usually buy the regular one flavored sour punch straws but now I will hunt these things down. They basically taste like the regular Sour Punch straws but different flavors. 

This face wash is HEAVEN on your face. I love the brand ST. Ives. I have only been using this for a week but I can see the difference and I can feel the difference. My face is smoother and defiantly more clear. I don't have that much acne or acne scars but there are one or two. The entire appearance of my face looks brighter and the best part about it, no irritation. I use this in the morning before the gym and at night before bed. Both times I've noticed that my skin has been better with the level of oils that come out (yes, even after the gym). By far I will defiantly be looking to buy this in the stores when it's done.  

I am a die-hard EOS user. I haven't used other lip balms in a while. But when I tried this one, I was actually surprised. Influents sent me  the fresh mint flavor and it taste exactly like that. It also has a fresh, cool feeling on your lips. Compared to EOS it goes on well and feels a little smoother than EOS. It taste like their sweet mint flavor. Packaging is adorable. It looks like a little ice cube. Much more likely to stay on my night table than my EOS and overall i would repurchase. 

Shampoo! I love shampoo! Specially when I don't have to buy big bottles and find out that I hate it after one wash. These sample sizes were perfect. Although I found washing my hair three different times a little time consuming my hair sure did appreciate it. I defiantly want to buy this just to see what my hair will look like once I wash it more often with this product but for now it did what it was supposed to do. I don't have curly hair, much more like wavy with some frizz but my hair defiantly looked different when I came out of the shower. It did feel a little heavier than normal but then again I rarely use conditioner. 

Last but not least is this. Sun tan mouse. I am dark enough, I didn't even think of trying this. I feel bad for waisting a full size of this so I passed it on to a friend. I will update this post later when she tells me if she likes it or not.

I love influenster and you should to! Go sign up or click here to see why you should sign up. I don't see why you wouldn't want to, who doesn't like free full sized samples of things and FREE CANDY.

Stressed

Have you ever felt stressed? Stupid question right? It seems like in today's time, everyone is stressed. So how do we deal with all this stress? I can tell you how I deal with it, or at least try to (haha). So, i don't have kids yet but Im still in school. As much as that might sound like heaven, it's definitely not! Adding to my already existing stress is the idea that when I'm done with school which is literally 10 months from now, I have to start looking for jobs in my field. A bigger headache (and a whole other post haha ) ! But anyways, I micromanage everyone in my household as well as work so with all that action I need some time off but vacation days are no where near. So heres what me and the soon to be hubby did, we went on a staycation! 

We picked a place an hour or so away from home and we only went for one night. We choose one night because we both had to work the day after we came back so nothing lost. We looked for a hotel that had a pool. You definitely need a pool and maybe a hot tub to relax. We went to a Double Tree Hotel by Hilton. The only reason why I was so picky about it being a Double Tree was because they have the best welcoming gifts ever! COOKIES! It was so good that I forgot to take a picture before. The best times to get a hotel for a staycation is on a weekend where you know rooms are going to be empty. This way you get the best price as well as more time for an empty pool. The staff at the Double Tree were also amazing and room service is the best! Definitely no cooking and no fussing about what to eat. You look at the menu thats already provided for you, call, order and BOOM! The food appears in your room at a timely manner! How relaxing right! 

So, because the weekend that we went to the hotel was Easter, there weren't that many people in the hotel. They upgraded our rooms to the honors floor. Not sure what the difference was but the room was pretty nice and the bed was ridiculously comfortable. All together we came back super relaxed, ready to deal with our hectic life once again.

A few things to think about before you leave:

When you come home from a relaxing weekend, you really don't want to think about laundry, cleaning, or cooking. So before you leave get all those things done. It adds a extra bit of serenity when you come home to a clean house and no laundry running over the baskets (our baskets are in our room so its a sight to see! ). Making the bed before you leave helps when you come home and you just want to plop on the bed and relax some more. Setting aside time to having a relaxed staycation is important, especially if your in a relationship. I know it definitely helped us relax and be refreshed to take on the world! 

I'd love to hear all about how you plan your relaxation day!

#DearMe

In sight of some YouTuber's doing this hashtag, I thought I should as well. You can watch the YouTube version here. You can also watch my favorite YouTuber Superwoman's version here. The purpose of the DearMe hashtag is to show girls that they aren't the only ones that feel the way they do; whether it be alienated, friendless, or even overwhelmed. So heres my version.

Dear Me,

     You may not think it now, buy you defiantly are beautiful. Yes, you look different from the other girls, but thats what makes you stand out. You are different for a good reason. You'll learn in due time that friends are not always your friends and you can only trust your family. Now younger self, everyone I mean EVERYONE goes through an ugly stage. Your beautiful in every way but trust me your hair gets better, your skin gets better, your style gets better, EVERYTHING gets better. People will make fun of you but don't stoop down to their level. Just keep your head high and walk away. You are meant to be the silly, smart, self preserved, organized you! Your common sense and self preservation gets you far while the others who were "popular" will stay far behind. Keep your goals in tact, don't let anyone tell you that you can't accomplish anything. You can accomplish EVERYTHING you set your mind to, which leads me to my next point. Listen to Mommy! You may think you guys are clashing heads now, but its only for your own good! All the advice she gives you helps you out in the long run. Oh, and I won't forget! Don't get caught up in the idea of having the crazy love story you see in the moves. You'll defiantly have your own perfect love story! He's perfect and your life falls into place perfectly! 

So, until next time, love, 

The older you! 

I love the idea of #DearMe because I have two nieces, one who is almost a teen (shocker!) and one who is still a toddler. Im excited to see them grow up, but that means they also have to go through all the stuff I did. Hopefully this will encourage them as well as other little girls to be true to who they are and not count on others to show their true personality.
