Review:

I am a very active athlete who participates in many sports.  So, in true form, I figured it would be best to test this product out during competition.  I am currently in volleyball season, a 12 team competitive league, so I took out my volleyball shoes and brought the Dr. Scholl’s Insoles over and began to trip and make them fit.

I really liked that on the back of the insole there was pre-marked lines to follow according to the shoe size I was using.  I really liked that it was nicely marked and lined for cutting ease.  I have tried other insoles before and found the process to be a bit longer because I was guessing the size I had to trim down, and it was trial and error a few times.  The outlined shape given on these insoles was pretty correct, I only had to make 1 more minor adjustment and then the insole fit just fine for me

My initial thoughts of this insole were very positive.  They felt great in my shoe and when I walked it felt like I had an extra bounce to my step even!  The arch support was tremendous and noticed right away, it felt great.  In volleyball there is lots of fast turns, jerky movements and of course jumping.  The arch support will be fantastic for those jumping actions.

I was curious to see if the insole would shift and move around in my shoe during play with all the jerky movements.  I was pleasantly surprised that the insoles stayed nicely in place and felt really great during play.  I loved how it felt while I was playing.  It was great support on my arch mainly, but seemed to give me an extra step in my jump as well, I felt like I was playing with springs under my feet. 

I will continue to use these Dr. Scholl’s Active Series Insoles for my sports.  I look forward to trying them out during soccer season in the summer as well!

ImPRESS Press-On Manicure

In my first ever Voxbox from Influenster (Mom Voxbox) I received some ImPress Press-On Manicures to test....and boy did I like them!  I received the solid colour "Ex on the Beach" and LOVED it!  They were on in minutes and stayed on for about a week (with lots of gardening, dishes, washing hands, playing, playing soccer etc).  I got so many compliments and no one knew that they were press-ons at all.  I also loved that it was a colour suitable for business meetings at work.  I have already bought 2 more styles to wear, and have a different one on today! Thanks!

I received this product complimentary for sampling and review through Influenster and am LOVING it!  I only got 1 sample, so I had to go out and buy some for my car and for my purse as well.  I love to use for a quick clean up before snacks or a meal out, or just plainly when we have been somewhere we might need to freshen our hands but aren't near a bathroom.  Nice and quick and easy and my daughter loves them.

The Original Dish Drying Mat

"The Original™ Dish Drying Mat"
I love usign this for all my breakable dishes and glasses. I hate to pile them in the sink where they can fal or break, so I used this instead and I have to say I am very happy with the product.  It soaks up the water very nice, and it keeps teh glasses and dishes safely on the counter while I do the dishes.  Very affordable products as well at $4.99!  I might just buy another one for backup.

Naturals VoxBox 2012

I just recently received the Naturals VoxBox from Influenster and am LOVING sampling all the great new natural products in it!

We received to test: Lypsyl Lipbalm, GeoDeo Deopderant, Nectresse Sweetener, The Original Dish Drying Mat, Shae Moisture Soap, Cleanwell Hand Sanitizing wipes, and EBoost energy drink powder.

I love testing out all the new products and being aware of all the new Natural products on the market now.

I am enoying many of these products so much and plan to buy more from the same companies or the same products again and encorporate into my daily routines.

I will definitely buy the Lypsel Lipbalm and Shae Moisturizing Soap, those were my favorites from the box.

I will recommend and suggest the Dish Drying Mat to friends as well.

The Cleanwell Hand Wipes are on the list to keep in the car and also my purse!

Thanks so much to Influenster for picking me to sample the Naturals Voxbox 2012!

Influenster Relaunch!

Well, after being a member for about a year and a half now I have to say I LOVE the new site!  I have written before to see if they would consider adding in a points system of some sort to update where one stands in ranking and reviewing....love that this was added.

The site is still a bit new for me to navigate, but I am finding my way and figuring out what to do and where to go for things as I am on more and more.  I love how I can log in daily now and there are things to do to improve my score, whereas before unless I had an active Voxbox I really couldnt' improve my scores.  Great addition.

I am not really a fan of the limit of 5 expert badges.  I went through and was filling them out and didn't realise that there was a max of 5 only, and you had to earn more though.  How is it that you earn more? no one knows yet that I have seen.  It would be nice if they woudl let us know just how this will be obtained/achieved....or if you could choose to swap out one for another, but keep 5 still as your total.

Overall I LOVE INFLUENSTER and am SO happy that I have been sent 2 VoxBox's this year already and can't wait for the next one!  I will continue to sample and review and checking into website as much as I possibly can to keep fgood standing!  Thanks so much!

Check it out for yourself!
