Colgate Optic White Voxbox from Influenster Review

Colgate Optic White Toothbrush & Built In Whitening Pen Voxbox Review I received the Colgate Optic White Voxbox from Influenster.  It included the toothbrush with a built in whitening pen and the whitening toothpaste.  I used it for the first time a few minutes ago and I can already see it working. It not only works but it leaves my teeth feeling clean, healthy, and it leaves them looking super shiny. These products were so simple and easy to use.

Monday Morning Gossip

Monday Morning Gossip for 2/24/14 I spent Saturday at home just resting and taking it easy. I have a sinus infection and Saturday was my second day on antibiotics. I did some scrapbooking and I finished the scrapbook of my nephew that I was working on. The rest of the day I just layed around and watched TV and movies because I wasn't feeling too good. I also finished reading The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. It was a great book but it was also really sad. The highlight of my day on Saturday was Facetiming with my sister, nephew M, niece O, and my fur-nephews Boomer and Scout. It was a lovely surprise and a special treat. On Sunday, I went to church in the morning with my mom and afterwards we went out to eat at PF Changs. Afterwards, we went to the bookstore and I got two books for my nephew for his birthday (I have 5 nephews & 3 nieces) and I got two books for myself. Before heading home for the day, we stopped and had ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery. My mom

Pop Sugar Must Have Box (February)

I received my Pop Sugar Must Have Box for February. I wasn't as impressed with this box as I was with January so I'm hoping that I will love the March Box. Here are the items I received in my Pop Sugar Must Have Box for February 2014.  Products I received February Pop Sugar Must Have Box I didn't like this product. I was happy to receive this product. This candle smells amazing. I didn't really like this color so I gave it to my mom who likes it. I'm not a fan of cinnamon candy but my mom is so I gave this to her. I also received a coupon to buy something on their website and I will be using that. This color was way too dark for me, so I gave it to my mom. This body wash smells fantastic and I'm excited to use it.

Monday Morning Gossip

Monday Morning Gossip for 2/3/2014 I spent Saturday at home just relaxing and enjoying my day. I finished making my coupon binder in the hopes that I will start using coupons more and saving money where I can on groceries, stores, etc. I also finished the book I was reading, started catching up on my DVR, spent time with my furbabies, and I also talked to my dad on the phone. On Sunday, I went shopping with my mom. I didn't buy a whole lot though which is good. I brought stickers to decorate my nieces and nephews Valentine's Day cards and I also brought stickers to give to them. I got Star Wars stickers for one of my nephews, Marvel Superheros for two of my other nephews, Hello Kitty stickers for one of my nieces, and puppy stickers for another of my nieces. I didn't send my youngest nephew stickers because he's only 1 1/2. Next weekend, I want to go to Target & Barnes and Noble because I have coupons for B&N. I treated my mom to lunch at Red Robin. T
