Vicks SweetDreams Cool Mist Humidifier VoxBox Review

A few Weeks ago, +Influenster sent me The Vicks SweetDreams Cool Mist HumidifierVoxBox to try it free. And I have to give my honest opinion about the item to share with my readerst and members from Influenster.
 Now.. for the fun part.
As I got to use the Vicks SweetDreams Cool Mist Humidifier (having had borrowed one previously from my childs doc)I have to say how much better this looks!! It has a 1 gallon tank, which means it can run for up to 24 hours!  It isn’t bulky and heavy and has a way better looking physique for a product that is used for other than decorating a room.

It runs quieter than the other humidifier borrowed, and the natural sound coming from it is quite relaxing and soothing I'd say if you like white noise in the background to help you sleep.

The SweetDreams model includes a built-in projector that features 3 scene categories that each have 3 images, for a total of 9 unique images. 

There is a mist flow opening at the top of the machine, located right in the center.  You can adjust the mist flow by twisting the dial on the front of the machine.  This way you are able to put out a nice steady stream of mist that isn’t too much or too little, but perfect for your need and liking. 
You can insert up to 2 VapoPads, but it can also be used without them if you’re just looking to add a little moisture into the air. I love that you can use the scented vapo pads too for when u just want that moisture in the air to relax. There are some fantastic scents and such available at +BabiesRUsonline.

I really really recommend the product to everyone searching for a humidifier. You can not go wrong with this product!

#BraunTherms Review Braun® No touch + forehead thermometer

I think all moms can relate when I say taking a child's temperature can be a pain in the butt. Holding an already moody and sick child down for a temp check can be challenging if they don't like it....

SO! Let me introduce my little friend!

+Influenster was generous to send me this product to try. The Braun® No touch + forehead thermometer is actually the 1st thermometer to take professionally accurate temperatures with merelya touch to the forhead or no touch at all! Braun's clinically proven tehcnology won't disturb your sleeping little one, and the large color-coded display with temperature guidance system is easy to read. It will display an accurate temperature within 3-5 seconds of placing on forehead. Quickly and reliable.

I honestly think its worth the price and will save you headaches... I recomend this product to ALLLL mommies out there for your loving family. I couldn't be anymore pleased! My children love it as much as I do I think. My 3 year old keeps asking me to take her temp! How cool is that. Even though its getting pretty old to take her temp am so glad she does not have to wrestle with me over taking the temp from now on.. WHAT an HOnesT relief! :D


Thanks to +Influenster VoxBox #BraunTherms I was selected to try and give my honest opinion. In no way am I affiliated with the product.



I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Molested at 6... Is it too late to speak up?

Today's post is pretty deep...

But I feel I need to talk to someone, I'll start by saying my story...

At age 6, my dads oldest brother would pick my dad up for work at home. He would do this every morning....

One day, my uncle decided to come in my and my sister's room and lay beside me, on my bed...

This went on for a while.. I didn't think much of it, after all he was my uncle and our family was VERY tight-knit. After a few days maybe over a week, he started caressing me. just touching my hair and my arms... time went by and he kept going lower and underneath my pjs. All he would do is caress endlessly.. touch my privates.... It bothered me but what could I do? He wouldn't stop... When it started to get lower and under my pjs is when I panicked, was scared that he would try and do something more uncomfortable but if I left would he go to my sisters bed? So one day I decided I would wake my little sister up and take her to the bathroom with me until both he and dad left for the day.

How could I speak? what would I say? would they believe me? My little sister wondered what was going on but she was so little and just did what I asked her too.. she laid her little self on the bathroom mat with her head on my lap and slept... I remember looking at her and asking her to lay down and please not make a sound.... all she said was I sleep here?

I never spoke... not one word, eventually we moved away from that house and my dad and uncle no longer rode together to work... I never wanted to spend the night at my cousins anymore... Nor did I want to visit them.

I let it go.. till this day never thought of it, never spoke of it. Like I put those horrifying thoughts behind me. Those memories never seemed to phase me. But then I came to the age where I wanted relationships... but I was always too self conscious, i was always too scared that I wasn't good enough. I fell in love at 17 and all I wanted was to run away from home.. far far far away with the man that I fell in love with. 

I did and I feel saved, I feel that my uncles presence had been vanished.. since I had to put up with seeing him way too often at church at family gatherings.. and everywhere. He was after all family. I hated him for what he did and for acting like he never did anything.... yet to this day I feel like my life has been affected greatly along with my parenting skills.. I have 3 beautiful kids but i feel i need to protect them from people like my uncle? :( who will listen? who can i tell?

Thats not all.... there is more to the story and my guilt, but I will speak of that soon after.. right this minute I feel my head will explode with these nasty memories....

Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles

HI everyone!!

Today's review is about Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles...

Although I don't have a large shoe wardrobe (but did try these in multiple pairs) I would love to one day own cute heels :\. The package states they are to be used in heels, sandals, etc. that are 2 inches high or more.

First off I should explain my feetsies demographics :P (if there is such thing)

shoe size.. 6.5
foot with... (super) wide
(very) deep Arch
high top of feet (guessing its due to the high arches maybe?)
weak ankles...

So... with this being said.. These are the reasons why I can not/ do not wear heels frequently. I used to have quite the selection before I had my 3 kids... But you slowly get rid of them and just never repurchase :\
              The last picture shows the Insole at closer glance.. that no kidding is how high my arch really is and how far about the bottom of my shoe my foot rests.. So no wonder I have foot problems!

Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles are neither long enough or wide enough to cover the shoe from the heel to where the ball of my foot rests. Reason I figure they made them this way is to disguise them when wearing sandals or open heels.... I experimented with the position of the Insoles to find the perfect spot for my ultimate comfort in my 3 inch heels... I discovered that placing them lower down to where the toes rest will help my arch get more support from the insole itself. That almost eliminated my pain at the balls of my feet where the toes are from wearing heels for a while. I found that the taller the shoes the better you can tell the working difference in comfort.. In the 4 inch heels you ca feel the insole working the most I am guessing because the ruberish insole is really holding your weight back to the heel versus letting your weight slide to the toes... I realized during my experimenting that I no longer have the need to wear 4 inch heels! Getting rid of these no matter how cute they are, there comes an age when it just doesn't look good anymore :\...

Welcome to REALITY!

I don't know exactly how long I was able to stay standing in the heels with the Insoles on, but I do know that these helped a lot more than I figured they would and that I was able to walk more comfortably WAY longer than I would if I wouldn't have had these babies....

Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles have now become my EVERY heel mate... and thanks to these I am no longer holding back from buying cute shoes :D.....

I did receive the Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles from +Influenster for reviewing purposes but this has in no way Influensed my point of view...

NYC New York Color Sparkle Eye Dust Review

In spring of 2013... NYC New York Color launched their new line of Loose powder eyeshadows...
                                          NYC New York Color Sparkle Eye Dust

NYC New York Color Sparkle Eye Dust is available in ten shades for just about $2.99
and come in little lipgloss looking tubes... (you will see what I mean in a little bit.)

Welllllll,  I received this product complimentary for testing and review purposes from +Influenster  for FREE XD! Even though, I will provide my honest feedback and experience using the item :)

Anyway... back to the Stunning NYC Sparkle Eye Dust shadows.... these babies are marked as super sparkly but have a rather metalic finish than a sparkle when on the eyes...

At first I absolutely loved the sponge wand applicator thing. However, I noticed that dipping into the tube with the applicator put on more product than needed on the wand, which ended up falling all over me,  and everything else during application.. To avoid the mess while doing my other lid I just got one of my makeup brushes and swiped it along the little wand then onto my lid.

The shadow is a rather fine pigment with a metalic finish, but can be toned down to a less glamorous tone if you use a blending brush or eye shadow wand... the texture at a glance was sparkly and silky but once on the sparkles are so fine it looks more metallic and I think that is more glamorous than sparkles for sure!!!

This picture is more of the toned down with the blending brush I have... you can see I have a very tiny amount on and yet it looks super!
                               This is the wand and what it looks like as you pull it out of the tube!

 These are a bargain in my opinion.. Check them out for yourself here... @ the NYC New York Color website

Olay Fresh Effects, Mi Revisión del Producto

Hola!!! hoy hare mi revision en Español, para todas las mujeres Hispanas y Latinas que les gustaria saver sobre este producto maravilloso!

Como todos saben, a mis 28 años, sufro de acne.... por ahorita todo esta bajo control, no me a dado muchos problemas ultima mente. Tengo un zona T demaciada grasosa, como ben en mi foto de abajo.. les aviso que ninguna de mis fotos han sido alteradas! tengo manchitas y sicatrices de acne, y algunos granitos :P.

 La foto muestra como amanece mi cara grasosa por las mañanas. Aunque mi camara no refleja muy bien como brilla y cuanto mas problema tengo por los cachetes y al rededor de la nariz... Tambien amanesco con la barbilla muy grasosa. 

Ahora para que jusguen ustedes.... les muestro la foto del Despues!
 Les PrometO que no fueron nadita alteradas las fotos, ni ubo uso de makillaje. Las fotos las tome apenitas al amanecer antes de alistarme para empesar mi dia. 

Ahora les platico y les digo mi opinion sobre este producto maravilloso!
Olay Fresh Effects es un producto muy bueno y no porque me lo haigan regalado para revisar y dar mi opinion, sino porque realmente me a alludado bastante... Solo necesitas un poco del producto, es medio pastoso como una mascara en color grisesito... no se si lo noten en esta fotito pero ahi les ba... 
Sin kerer utilice demaciado! probablemente un tercio de lo que me puse en mi mano era lo unico que realmente necesitaba... Al ponerlo me daba masaje en circulitos  como ben aqui...

Si fue demaciado el producto que utilice pero queria que vieran bien como se mira... Pienso yo que es importante dar un masajito a la piel para limpieza profunda.. despues enjuaga y VUALA! 

Queda una piel super lisita y sin nadita de trasos de grasita. La piel me dura asi casi todo el Dia!!!

OLAY Fresh Effects Shine, Shine Go Away! Shine Minimizing Cleanser  ....

Es un producto super, limpia profundo como una mascara, pero es un javon para cara diseñado para uso diario! Su aroma es muy fresco y mantiene la cara completamente fresca todo el dia! Quita impuresas y suciedad, maquillage y todo 2x mejor que cualquier otro producto de limpiesa facial. El producto es hecho co ingredientes muy complacentes! contiene arcilla (clay) y hamamelsis (witch hazel)... estos productos juntos dan un valor muy grande al producto, natural y efectivo pero a la misma ves es delicado en la piel. Realmente se siente mucho mejor la piel despues del primer uso...
 
 Bueno, despues de lavar mi cara claro ke uso tonificador y despues la cremita de Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleansers y listo, Un Primer para antes de makillar ayuda muchisisimo igual! El maquillaje me dura unas buenas 6-8 horas sin ponerse muy grasosa mi cara y arruinar mi maquillaje. A todas la muchachas, mujeres, jovensitas, si tienen algun problema con la grasita facial les recomiendo totalmente este producto! :D 

Espero y les aya gustado mi blog y revision del producto Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser.

  Este blog fue escrito para revision del product que me fue regalado por +Influenster para dar mi opinion honesta!

Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure the- best 10 minute Mani!

I think we have ALL been in the situation where you are somewhere semi or very important and you look at your hands and think 'OH NO, I hope no one notices my hands!'

I dont think I have ever met a girl who goes and gets her nails done and keeps up with the bi-weekly touch ups, seriously....

I being one who avoids the acrilic nails because of damage and failure to keep up with the touch ups..

I had seen these Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure in store racks but I thought ya how long could those last!?

So I never really purchased these.. UNTILLLLL

I received these complimentary for testing and review purposes from +Influenster 

First off there are ENDLESS possibilities in creating the perfect mani.. There are pretty french nails to bold colors.. they all look fantastic really....

I wasn't convinced that they'd stay on longer than a day, and always thought they were for younger girls, not grown women who could manage their own nails.

This package comes with 24 individual nails in 12 different sizes.  Each nail is numbered 1-12, so you match the sizes to your hand and pair them up! Just wipe your nails with the prep pad available in the package, which removes any oils and dirt that may be lying on the surface, then peel the clear tabs off of the nails and press them on.




I personally bought and used nail adhesive for longer wear because I fell in love with the ones I received...

You only need to hold them down for about 3 seconds before they are ready to wear.

These nails are formulated with a patented adhesive (no messy glue!) that sticks to your nails but does not do any damage to them, and that is something I worry tons about because my nails are thing as is.


So it was a very EASY and FAST mani that really lasted about a week!! I am a stay at home mommy and wash like 3 batches of dishes a day, and they still lasted well over five days before one of them actually fell off! Its pretty impressive to me because they are stick ons!! I mean COME ON! :P


I am honestly a fan of these now and will continue to use them :) they retail from $6.99 - $9.00 for a quick sexy look!? its pretty impressive I love it!

Check out all the available styles here at the imPRESS website

Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Best Hair Day: Schwarzkopf Osis Love

Hi guys!

Here to write a review on Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+
Alright well..... I received Osis Gelastic Ultra Strong Flexible Gel complimentary for testing and review purposes from +Influenster 

here are my hair facts...

Length of hair is pretty long, below shoulders ad close to mid back... 
Cut of hair is layerd
Type of hair is Kinky waives 
I have dull color due to a lack of keeping up with my hair color! :P lazy much??
  
At first look.. product is very tick and smells great!

Some tips!! have to apply as soon as you pour it out because it dries quickly and could leave thicker parts in sections if not rubbed all over hands quickly n used right after. A little goes a LONG way! don't use too much or you will regret it!

After trying the product I have come to the conclusion that this product is FANTASTIC!! It provides strong hold but flexibility and body at the same time if used correctly..It stays put all day and leaves your hair feeling light not heavy like most gels..  Its great for scrunching and for a quick do when your in a hurry. The gel added shine to my hair and soft waves was what I saw

I really really liked the Gel and find it a good investment if you like to take care of your hair. It's available at Ulta for 18 dollars but they have pretty good coupons or sales on the Osis products... so It ends up being not too expensive. 

Another tip.. DO NOT buy these products on EBAY! they are replicas!!! Its a warning.....
