Darling Vox Box

Darling VoxBox


I am really excited to let you know about these products. I recieved these products from Influenster for review and all opinions are my own. Ifluenster is an amazing company and if you love free products like me, you should check it out here.

Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Face moisturizer ($29.50)
This lightweight moisturizer is amazing. I love the lightweight feel that soaks in fast, and makes your skin feel fresh. I am not the most dedicated user of facial moisturizer because it usually makes my skin feel greasy, however I will be purchasing this again for my own use. It really works and doesn't make my skin feel greasy or irritated.

Nature's Bounty Energy Gummies ($7.99)
I am glad to have these energy gummies. As a mom with a 7 yr. old, a full time job, and a Tupperware consultant; sometimes getting through the day takes work. These little gummies come with vitamin B-12, herbs, and caffeine wrapped up in a wonderful watermelon flavor. I love the boost it gives without getting jittery.

Eva NYC Therapy Session Hair Mask  ($14.99)
I love the fragrance of this hair mask. It made my thick hair really soft and wasn't weighed down by heavy conditioner. I don't know if I'll be buying more, but I'll cherish what I have.

Live Clean
Baby Gentle Moisture Tearless Shampoo & Wash ($5.99)
Baby Gentle Moisture Baby Lotion (5.99)
The first thing I have to say about the shampoo and lotion is the smell is terrific. My son loves to run and after a hot day, he doesn't always smell pleasant. I love this combo! It washes the dirt away and makes him smell great. It's mild, tear-free, and made with organic botanicals. We found our new regular.

Duncan Hines Perfect fro 1: Chocolate Lovers Cake ($2.50)
My son had so much fun making his very own dessert. As a family of three, I don't know how often our household will use this, but it was very good and fun. I will look into the other flavors and surprise my son. He loves cooking and it makes him happy.

Country Crock Buttery Spread (15oz. $2.00 - $2.99)
I am very much a butter girl, but I do use margarine to sauté veggies and make grilled cheese. It has a pleasant taste and works well.

VIcks Sweetdreams VoxBox

How did I get so lucky? I was selected by Influenster to test and review the Vicks SweetDreams Humidifier for free. All these comments are mine. 
I love humidifiers because they are a necessity in Wyoming. I suppose you could live without one, but the winters here are brutal and nasty. My household suffers from dry noses, bloody noses, and colds.
Some of the reasons I love this Vicks Sweetdreams humidifier model include: 
1. It is filter-free
2. Easy to use
3. Small and easy to carry
4. Projector is cute, has different scenes and can be turned off 

There are so many things to love about this little machine. If you are thinking about getting a humidifier, consider this one for any small rooms you have. 
You can purchase it for $49.99 from Amazon

NURTURE VOXBOX BY INFLUENSTER

Become an Influenster!

Welcome to my blog about my Nurture VoxBox. I am very excited to receive these products free for my review and testing purposes. All my opinions are my own. 

Red Vines $1.59
Ore-Ida Extra Crispy $1.25 (Coupon) 

Hada Labo Tokyo Mask
This mask is 100% cotton and claims to boost hydration, smooth fine lines, restores firmness, and bounce to your skin using Hyaluronic Acid. It is soft, cool, and seems to hydrate really well. The mask did fit better than others that I have tried. I don't know if I would indulge in these very often, because of the price, but it does make my face feel great. 

Uncle Ben's Flavored Grains
I am already a huge fan of Uncle Ben's. I have been using them as side dishes for years. I love the ease of cooking the flavored grains and the great taste. There are many flavors to choose from. 

Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen Broad spectrum SPF 30+
I received a full size tube of the sensitive formula. It uses only high quality natural minerals, Zinc Oxide, and Titanium Dioxide, for broad spectrum UVA-UVB skin protection. It has no scent to speak of, is chemical free, paraben free, and dermatologist-recommended. Reapply to dry skin at least every two hours. The cap also doubles as a UV detector. The deeper blue the cap becomes, the more UV rays are present. That is a fun, added bonus. I have used this formula on my son, and I am very pleased with it's performance. I love knowing it is a natural protection free from chemicals. If you are so inclined or have a huge need for high quality sunscreen (maybe you own a safari park or zoo with 300 employees) you can purchase this by the gallon (and smaller, normal sizes) at www.bluelizard.net. 

Dramamine Non-Drowsy Naturals
This is the first truly non-drowsy product from Dramamine for the prevention or treatment of motion sickness. As a natural product, I have greater confidence in using this when my family or I am ill. My mother who HATES flying, took 2 capsules 30 minutes before her flight and it helped greatly.  Made from ginger and can be used by ages 6 and up. If you have problems with motion sickness, It is my suggestion to buy some and see if it is right for you. I plan on putting some in my first aid kit. 

Red Vines
As a red licorice lover, I was excited to see these were included in my VoxBox. I don't really have a whole lot to say about these except YUMMMM. From the first time I tried Red Vines, it has always been my favorite licorice. 

Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Fries
Crispy Fries in the microwave. What! In four minutes start enjoying crispy fries. I can't wait to redeem my coupon. (I will be stocking up on these when I make the 80 mile trip to the store) I love Ore-Ida. 

ATTITUDE Hair Care
I was very very excited to see this in my package. The formula we received was for volume. Unfortunately, I have extremely damaged hair that doesn't work with volume shampoo, however, I have used it on my 5 yr old son and he loves it. It is free from nasty ingredients that are still allowed in other shampoos. It has a fresh clean scent and makes his hair softer than his baby shampoo. I love the fact that is available at Target. I will be checking out the other formulas for myself. The confidence in using a product free from cancer causing agents gives me immense satisfaction.

Vicks Voxbox

I am so lucky to have been picked to test and review the Vicks Mini Filter Free Cool Mist Humidifier sent to me by Influenster. This little gadget is seriously cool. Where have you been all my life?

 These are the 6 things you need to know about this wonderful little machine.


  1. It is amazingly quiet
  2. It actually is vapor (unlike some that spit and sputter water all over) 
  3. It's easy to fill with water (no splashing or spilling)
  4. No filter to clean = minimal maintenance 
  5. It is small = small footprint too
  6. Up to 10 hrs operation with a .5 gallon container
Our family already owns 4 humidifiers, and 3 of those I only get out of storage if we are sick, the fourth is a Vicks Nightlight Humidifier for my sons room (which he loves). I don't like sleeping in a room with our previous humidifiers because they are loud, they get water all over, and they make the room feel cold.  I am very impressed by this Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier. The best part is.....it's effective. I can already feel the difference. I have environmental allergies and seasonal allergies, and have had many sinus infections, sore throats, and nasal issues because of it. I also live in Wyoming where the winter is very dry, the snow blows cold, and brings with it the previously mentioned ailments. I am excited to see if the increased usage will decrease my sinus problems.

If you need a humidifier, do yourself a favor and check this one out. It's quiet, the vapor is adjustable, it's small, and it doesn't spit. A humidifier that doesn't spit is worth it in my book. #VicksCoolMist

Vitality VoxBox by Influenster

Become an Influenster!


Ask me, I will send you an email link to signup. #I got it free

First let me start by saying....I am so excited for this Vitality VoxBox. These are great items and getting them free from Influenster is awesome.

First Degree Advanced Burn Cream: $5.97 - $8.99
Playtex Sport Fresh Balance: $3.99
Elizabeth Arden FLAWLESS FUTURE Powered by Ceramide Caplet Serum: $60 for 1.0 oz
Pure Leaf Iced Tea
Softlips Cube: $3.49
Bikini Ready Energy Gummies: $14.99

I haven't yet tried the First Degree burn cream, but I am going to put it in our first aid kit for the vehicle. I am excited for this product because of the natural ingredients. It can also be used for razor burn.Wish I'd had it last week. :)

I won't have use for the Playtex Sport Fresh Balance tampons, but I do have a niece to give them too.

I have tried the FLAWLESS FUTURE by Elizabeth Arden, and I love it. It doesn't have a fragrance, dries quickly, doesn't feel sticky, and is good for your skin. I haven't been using it long enough to spot a difference, but having even skin tone is very intriguing. I hope this is able to do what it says it can do. :)

Pure Leaf Iced Tea is wonderful. I am a serious iced tea drinker and Pure Tea is my favorite brand. There is many flavors to choose from. If I can't personally brew it, this is my go-to tea.

I am in love with the Softlips Cube! I have the Fresh Mint and will be soon purchasing the Vanilla Bean, you can also purchase Pomegranate Blueberry. It is a very smooth formula and I can use it on my son without adding a shine and color.

The Bikini Ready Energy Gummies are great. It gives you a boost with caffeine and B-12. The flavors are grape, orange, and cherry. As a mother of an active 4 yr. old, an energy boost is a great thing. It's also better than a B-12 shot (in my personal opinion).

Thanks Influenster for picking me for this #Vita VoxBox.

May Birchbox

Birchbox for May 2014
  • Color Club Gala's Gems Collection: Heirloom Pearls is a pearly white nail polish with shimmer. 3 coats for complete coverage. 
  • KIND Healthy Grain Bars: Pumpkin Maple with sea salt. I enjoyed this healthy alternative to sugary snacks. 
  • Fekkai Technician Color Care Shampoo: I wasn't really impressed with this sample. It is a decent shampoo, but not enough to warrant the price. 
  • theBalm® cosmetics How ‘Bout Them Apples?™: I love this product. I received Apple Pie. It is a wonderful dual-purpose color. You can use it for your cheeks and lips.
  • Cynthia Rowley Beauty Eyeliner: Unfortunately, I didn't receive this product. All I received is the cap. I called Birchbox and they were very easy to work with. They gave me $10.00 in Birchbox points to replace the missing sample. I think $10.00 was very generous. Thank You Birchbox.
If you are interested in trying Birchbox, here is the link to get set up. At $10.00 a month, it is a great way to try deluxe and sometimes full sized samples of high end products. Birchbox Information.

This is my review of each item. 

  • Neo to Go. As a mother of a four year old, this is a must have product. I love the fact that I can take it on the go, with a bandaid in my purse and I am prepared for his little boo-boos. 


  • Breyers Gelato Indulgences. Wow! This is seriously delicious. If you haven't tried it, I suggest you find some immediately. 


  • Ivory Bar Soap. Our family doesn't use bar soap, but I decided to give it a try. I love the gentle cleaning of this soap. It works great on our little guy and is gentle enough to use everyday. 


  • AVON Anew Reversalist Express Wrinkle Smoother. This is a very interesting concept. It has a colorless, silky feeling. You dab it on to your problem areas. If you haven't tried it and are looking for a wrinkle solution, you need to do yourself a favor and check this out.

  • Puffs To Go. Everybody needs to have tissue. It comes in easy to use, small packaging to use everywhere. It comes in Puffs with Lotion and Puffs Ultra Soft and Strong. I love the Puffs with lotion. Especially during the Cold and Flu season. It saves your nose. ;)


  • Shell Fuel Rewards Network Card. Unfortunately, we don't have a Shell gas station located close enough to be able to try the card out. For a limited time, new members save 25 cents per gallon on their second fill up and 3 cents every time after. It would have been nice to use this reward.
