Influencer - Rose VoxBox

 I was selected by Influencer to participate in the Rose VoxBox Review.

Every so often you are asked to do a survey to see if you are a match for the next VoxBox product review. If you are chosen then you will receive an email with a confirmation number in it.

The VoxBox is then shipped to your house at no cost to you. All you have to do is take a picture of you box and review it! Simple as that!

Here is what I received in the Rose VoxBox:

 

belVita crunch Breakfast Biscuits - I got these in my first box. They are good but there is not enough protein in these biscuits to make it a very filling breakfast - There are better pre-packaged options out there.

 Dr. Scholl's For Her Cozy Cushions - I tried to put these in my boots but they made them too tight and uncomfortable. Good concept but didn't work for me.


Kiss Gradation Polishes - I have not tired this nail polish yet because it look a little intimidating with all the steps.. Its a good week if I attempted to put clear on. Plus nail polish doesn't last the day on my nails because I can NOT stand when it starts to chip and I will just take it all off.

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara - New FAVORITE Mascara! This stuff makes my lashes think and long with out clumps or separation. If you are look for a new mascara you should give this one a try. if you are wanting the fake eyelash look start with a primer.


Lindt LINDOR Milk Chocolate Truffles - Well free Chocolate is free Chocolate!! You can't go wrong with that.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes

Influencer - Dr. Scholl's Active Series Insoles

Dr. Scholl's Active Series

I was selected by Influencer to participate in the Dr. Scholl's Active Series Insoles Review. I was pretty excited about this opportunity because I am always looking to try new inserts for my running/workout shoes. I am currently using SuperFeet Green inserts so I am a little concerned about not enough arch support in the the Dr. Scholl's inserts.

SuperFeet Green are VERY stiff and the "hard support" goes from the heel to about an inch past the arch, where as the Dr. Scholl's is only hard at the arch and the rest is very squishy and bends/twist easily.
The reason it is so "squishy" is because the Dr. Scholl's inserts have cushioning for the heel and ball of the foot to help absorb impact to help prevent runners knee, shin splints and plantar fasciitis.

The inserts were super easy to put in my shoes - I wear a size 10 running shoe so I didn't have to cut down the insert to fit. The packaging says it will fit up to a size 11 but I think you might be cutting it close and there might be a light gap in the toe area where the insert doesn't meet the front of the shoe.


I have been wearing these insoles all day and they are VERY confortable!! Check out their Facebook page here! www.facebook.com/drscholls

Chocolate Avocado Protein Shake

I tried Avocado in my protein shake for the first time this morning!
I was super skeptical about this and thought it would make it taste like dis..gust..ing -- plus I could get the same creamy consistency from greek yogurt, unfortunately all I had was blueberry flavored.... so the ripe avocado on my counter would have to do.

Well, after my workout this morning I went to make a shake - and I was all out of my favorite protein shake mix, but I had some ISOFlex Chocolate Mint in my pantry so I figured it would have to do as well- Plus its only 110 calories, 27 grams of Protein, NO sugar AND Aspartame-FREE!! .

The one and only reason why I am not a fan of ISOFlex is because it has a really thin consistency and if you try to blend it with ice it gets foamy on top... ICK!! I'm sure its great for those who just like to mix it with water or milk in a "blender ball" mixer. (If you are looking for a ready to go just add water and ice in the blender then I recommend Advocare Mocha or Chocolate because all you have to add is water and ice and it's like drinking a milkshake! However I do not recommend the vanilla or berry - the vanilla has a weird constancy and the berry as a artificial berry flavor)


Okay back to the avocado in the protein shake -
I recently joined DailyBurn (a workout video steaming and recipe site) and they had a recipe similar to this one so I figured I would give it a try! I was super pleased with this shake and will definitely be making this again!

Recipe:
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
Cocoa powder/CocoaVia - makes it super chocolaty
about a 1/4 of an avocado (Adds about 60 calories to the shake)
Water - (or milk if you are trying to gain weight)
3-4 cubes of ice
