Has Anyone Tried Following 6pm.com on Instagram?

One of my favorite (or least favorite depending on my budget) things about companies on social media is snagging hidden discounts. 6pm is offering a 10% off promo code today that I spotted on Instagram this morning. The promo code is only good for today, and only for the first 250 uses. So, go check out all the AMAZING deals over there and then take an additional 10% off. Personally, I've been eyeing a Wusthof Knife Block for a while now.....hhhmmm. Decisions.

Has Anyone Tried Graze?

It seems that I'm always on the go! Between work, school, and running a family and home, I don't have time to breath some days! I only have a few minutes between work and school. I don't have enough time to make nutritious snacks. I SHOULD be better about packing one the night before, but I'm terrible. I always remember on the way out. At that point, I just grab something like a granola bar and run out the door.  A granola bar will work to tide me over until after class. But, let's face it. It gets a bit boring day after day. Thankfully, I've found Graze. Graze delivers prepackaged healthy snacks right to my mailbox every two weeks. They have both sweet and savory selections. You don't get to pick which items you get, but you can rate the selections you've tried. If you "trash" something, they won't send it again. If you "love it" they will send it more frequently. It is a bit pricey at $6 per shipment, but sometimes convenience outweighs price (especially when it's a small amount that won't break the bank) for a busy mom. 

I received a new box yesterday.

This one has:

booster seeds

sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and golden flaxseeds

tutti frutti

blueberry infused cranberries, pineapple pieces, cherry infused raisins and green raisins

fruit and seed flapjack

rustic rolled oat flapjack with mixed seeds and dried fruits

twist of black pepper popcorn

So far, I've only tried the popcorn. I actually really liked the little bit of pepper on the popcorn. It isn't overwhelming, just a subtle peppery taste. It made the perfect serving for one, and it popped up well without leaving a bunch of kernels. 

If you would like to give Graze a try, you can use my referral link to get your 1st and 5th box free. Free is good, right? ;)

Has anyone Tried a VoxBox from Influenster?

Okay, it's VoxBox time again! If you haven't signed up for Influenster yet, you're missing out! This is the second box of awesomeness they've sent for me to review. Who doesn't love getting fun freebies in the mail? This box is for mom's and it's filled with some goodies that every mom needs and deserves! Included is a travel pack of Puffs facial tissues, Neo To Go from Neosporin, a Shell gas discount card (haven't figured that one out yet, but I can't wait to explore!), some Ivory soap, a coupon for the new Breyer's Gelato, and a wrinkle smoother from Avon's Anew product line. I'm super excited to check out all these products in more detail. I'll fill you in with the details as I go along! --Stay tuned!

Has Anyone Tried Red Rose Real Tea?

In my UniVoxBox from influenster.com, I received a sample of Red Rose Real Tea. I'm a huge fan of real lemon tea. But, I have to admit, flavored tea isn't my thing. I love this new squeezable drink enhancer trend. I like that you can add how much or little flavoring you desire. What I love about the Red Rose tea is I can add just a little flavored tea to my lemon tea. I decided I just don't care for how strong the flavored teas are. Now, I can have just a hint of flavor in my tea. It's awesome.

Now, as embarrassing as it is to admit, it's been a month since I received my VoxBox. I still haven't been to the grocery store to try the lemon flavor. I know, I'm a slacker. But, a big trip to the grocery store is just going to have to wait till after my STATs final on Monday. The quality of the flavored tea is awesome, so I'm sure the lemon will be delightful as well.

Has Anyone Tried 6pm.com? Promo Code Alert!

Quite possibly one of my favorite shopping sites of all time is 6pm.com. If you've been living under a rock and haven't checked out this place, you need to. Now. No really, I'll wait. No! Just kidding, I won't....you'll be a while! 6pm is an outlet store for zappos.com, another great site. 6pm has amazing prices on pretty much everything you need. They have designer label clothing for men, women, and children, including extended size runs. They have housewares and electronics, too. The shoe section is my favorite place, of course. Not only do they have great designer heels and flats, but also a great athletic shoe collection. Sales change about every 3 or 4 days. When they put a brand on sale, don't hesitate. Because it's an outlet, not all sizes are available in all styles and supplies are limited. Things go quickly! For most holidays they run extra low price sales. One of my favorites is always the New Year's sale. If I remember correctly, everything was under $20.14 this year. They also run a Valentines $14 sale that rocks! Shipping is always free, and always UPS. That's right, no SmartPost! So, you'll actually get your items in 2-4 days. They have a rewards program called Brandaholics. For every $450 you spend (Don't quote me on that $$ amount. I'm pretty sure that's it.) you get a 10% off coupon. I'm actually quite embarrassed to admit how many I've earned. I did most of my Christmas shopping on this site last year.

Occasionally, they will give a one day promo code for an additional 10%-15% the already great prices. The codes are distributed via social media and email. I found a code in my inbox today, so I thought I'd share!

Has Anyone Tried Rimmel London #StayMatteSwitch?

In my VoxBox from influenster.com, I received a full size tube of Rimmel London Stay Matte foundation. For a grocery store brand, it's pretty awesome. It is insanely light. It feels like a mousse. My sample was True Ivory 103. As I started to apply it, I thought for sure it was going to be too light. But, it blended beautifully. It is so soft and light on my skin. I did learn the hard way that a little goes a long way. Which, is good now that I know. It should last quite a long time. My skin is a bit on the oily side naturally, so I did notice it was a bit greasy after extended wear. But, even after blotting, it still looks pretty good. But, for a price tag under $6, it worked better than most of the drugstore brands I've tried. (That's saying a lot since I was the cosmetics manager at a grocery store for years. I've tried almost all of them!) So, here is my "classic go to look". I try to keep it pretty mellow for days up on campus. :)

Has Anyone Tried NYC New York Color Expert Last Lip Color?

Okay, I DON'T wear lipstick. I hate it. I hate the sticky feel. I hate my broken tooth, so I don't want to draw attention to it. I don't like that it comes off after a few minutes, because let's face it, I don't have time to reapply. So, when I received this sample from influenster.com I was apprehensive about trying the NYC New York Color Expert Last Lip Color.

I was pleasantly surprised when I applied it. It's not sticky. It doesn't come off. The color is actually quite fun. Although I can't say it will convert me to a daily lipstick wearer, it will definitely be my go to lipstick for those occasions I do choose to wear any. I'm impressed with the value. For under $3, it is easy to justify buying several colors to play with.
