She got a Knots Stuffed bear, Classic Kong Extreme in Black, a Pink Kong Tire, Kong Ball in Red, Kong Stuff' N - Real Peanut Butter, and Kong Snacks - Peanut Butter Recipe..

There are 2 ways to get free stuff and that is Polls and Missions.
Polls:

So what are polls? These are the most common actions you will see on Crowdtap. They are short, simple questions that brands ask you. Most of these are multiple choice where you will select the best answer for you, others will have you open up a piece of content from the brand like a picture or twitter post and have you answer a question about it or share it with friends.

~ Jingle VoxBox ~





I have been a part of Influenster for sometime now, but I only recently started putting my effort into it and got auto qualified for this Jingle Voxbox filled with lots of goodies. For those of you who don't know Influenster is a great word of mouth community meaning that companies send out their products in exchange for a bloggers honest and unbiased review. Basically they want you to try out their product for free and to hear what you honestly think about it..How great is that? 



With every box you get this product information card. This card lists all the products that come in the VoxBox and their retail value as well as a brief description of the products and the social handles you are to use if you are posting on social media about the product.







This is everything that came in the Jingle VoxBox ( certain contents may vary with boxes)  - Hallmark Itty Bitty- Spider-man, Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream,  NYC Cityproof 24HR Waterproof Eye Liner - 931 Black , Pure Ice Nail Polish - 538 French Kiss, Ore-Ida Tater Tots (coupon for free bag), KISS True Volume Lashes and Kiss Strip Lash Adhesive, and  Biscoff Cookies - 3 pkgs.




Itty Bitty - Spiderman


This had to be my most favorite thing in the box although I was hoping for Olaf.  These itty bitty's are really cute and come in a variety of different characters. They are really well made, soft and perfect for kids. I was planning on keeping this as a collectible as I plan to collect more. But my puppy had other plans and got her hands on it ( or should I say teeth) so it became a chew toy for her.. I must say that she did enjoy playing with it tho.. 


Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

This is a great moisturizer that I have been using daily especially in these cold winter months that can be harsh on your skin making it feel dry. It doesn't have a heavy fragrance like some moisturizers which is good for people that are sensitive to smells. I also like that it doesn't feel oily, it's a nice light moisturizer that is very hydrating to your skin. 


NYC Cityproof 24HR WaterProof Eyeliner

I received this in the color 931 Black which I was happy about as I don't really wear a lot of makeup but when I do for special occasions or what not I usually wear a black eyeliner. I wish that I had this eyeliner a long time ago when I was first starting out with makeup. This eyeliner goes on so smooth, it doesn't drag along your eye lid and it's not rough. I remember first starting out with eyeliner and it being so dry that I felt that I was literally putting eyeliner on with a black pencil crayon. This is not like that at all. I haven't actually wore it for a full 24HR so I can't really comment on that aspect of it yet but when I do I will surely update this blog post however it did last a few hours at a Christmas Party during the Holidays.



Pure Ice Nail Polish

I received this in the color 538 French Kiss which I actually really like it's a perfect royal blue color that fits for winter. You don't have to apply more then one coat as it is super pigmented. It goes on real easy, streak free and super shiny.


Ora-Ida Tater Tots

I received this manufacture coupon for 1 FREE bag of Ora-Ida Tater tots (excluding 5lb bag). I haven't actually went to use this coupon as of yet as I haven't been able to get to a Walmart or Target which is where I've heard these are sold. 


KISS True Volume Lashes & Strip Lash Adhesive 

I don't wear fake lashes so I gave these away to a Friend. However I got her feedback and she said that these were fairly easy to use. Great for beginners and provides a nice natural look and the adhesive worked great, kept the lashes in place and she really liked that the adhesive had Aloe in it.  


Biscoff Cookies

These cookies were actually pretty good. They say that they are a favorite cookie with Coffee.. but I don't like coffee so I just enjoyed these as is and I must say that was just fine. These Cookies are All Natural have 120 calories and 0 grams of Fat per serving.  I believe these are a variation of the cookies you get when you're on an airplane.. but I could be wrong 


I'd just like to say Thank you to Influenster and all the other brands featured in this box. I received these products free of charge for my honest, unbiased opinion. If you'd like to join Influenster so that you can get your very own voxbox to review please follow the link below.

~ Frozen Cool Touch Kleenex Review ~




I was lucky enough to receive these really cute Frozen Kleenex boxes from Crowdtap in exchange for my honest and unbiased review of the product.  I received two full boxes of the Kleenex Cool Touch tissues boxes from Kleenex one with a regular box with no real design on it and the other was a nicely decorated Frozen box that featured Elsa and Anna surround by snowflakes (I really liked this one). I also received two on-the-go Kleenex Slim Packs with Anna on one and Olaf on the other.


Kleenex Cool Touch Tissues are made with a blend of ingredients that include aloe and cooling moisturizers which is what gives that cooling effect. When the tissues come in contact with your skin, the heat from your body activates the moisturizers in the tissues causing a cooling reaction that soothes your sore, stuffed up nose which I found to be pretty cool. I have always been a big fan of Kleenex products and have purchased them numerous times over the years as I find them to provide a softer tissue that is gentler on my sensitive skin compared to other brands.


The Kleenex on-the-go Slim packs are a new edition to Kleenex's on-the-go packaging. These slim packs are of course slim which makes them easy to fit into a backpack, purse, diaper bag, car glove compartment or even a back pocket. I really liked having these in my car or in my purse for those times when you're on the go and really need a tissue. And don't think that because they are small that they are any less good quality then the regular Kleenex tissues. These were just as absorbent, and soft.


These are definitely ones that I will buy again and not only because they are Frozen design (Yes I still love Frozen .. Don't Judge :P) but because I really enjoyed the cool touch feeling when I pressed the tissue up against my nose.


Thank you CrowdTap and Kleenex for providing me these at NO COST. If you'd like to join me in reviewing products or even earning GIFTCARDS. Then make sure you sign up for CrowdTap at the link below.  www.crowdtap.com

~ TastyKake Mini’s Review! ~



I got the opportunity to test out a box of TastyKake Mini’s. Influenester was nice enough to send me out a voxbox which had a pantry edition box of Tastykake Minis, a Tastykake Minis Koozie, coupons, and a Tastykake Minis party hat. I received all of this for free for testing purposes in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. All opinions in this review are my own and are no way altered by the company. There are 3 different kind of TastyKake Mini’s Cupcakes, Swirly Cupcakes (which is there original flavor), Koffee Kake Cupcakes, and the ones we received the Reese’s Peanut Butter flavored Cupcakes. First thing I noticed about these cupcakes is the box, I love the fact that you are able to just remove the top so that you are able to easily grab one at a time. I absolutely adore these little cupcakes they are so cute each package contained 3 mini cupcakes that are perfectly bite sized.  I am glad I that we got the peanut butter one as I don’t think my husband would have ate as many as he did if they were another kind. We found the cupcake to be a little sweet me and my husband often shared a package as we found more then 2 was just a bit to sweet for our liking. You can really taste the peanut butter in these cupcakes they are so moist which was surprising to me as most often packaged cakes lose their moisture but these were so rich and moist which made them a perfect afternoon snack or that late night snack for that sweet tooth. I think these would be a perfect snack for kids lunches at school or even just a snack around the house. All in all we enjoyed them, I would definitely recommend them to anyone who has a sweet tooth and loves peanut butter or cupcakes..Would I buy them again? Of course I look forward to trying the other 2 flavors as well. What mini win was I celebrating this week? Me and my husband were in the process of moving to a new house which is a mini win for us and having a sweet snack to give you that extra energy while moving surely helped. Thank you Influenster and TastyKake for this Sweet Opportunity.
