Have you ever been running out of your house in the morning with your kid(s) and your all running late, then just as your about to lock your front door your child/children look up at you and say(s) “Mommy, I’m hungry”?

Dr. Scholl's ® For Her Comfort Insoles

 I received this product complimentary in return for my honest review. Dr. Scholl’s for Her Comfort Insoles: Retail for $12.49

These insoles are amazing! This is coming from a woman that loves her heels but hate what it does to her feet! I also have two bad knees but still haven’t learned my lesson and continue to indulge in my love for shoes, mainly heels are my true love! I think this comes from me only being 5’1 and wanting that extra couple of inches that heels give me. So when I decided to try Dr. Dr. Scholl’s For Her Comfort Insoles I was hoping these insoles would be the solution to my problems with heels and shoes in general! I like that Dr. Scholl’s For Her Comfort Insoles can be used in a variety of shoes, from heels to boots these insoles will come in handy! They absorb the shock and impact on your heel of your foot and helps to protect the ball of your foot area. They also give my knees the pain relief I truly hoped for!

Here are some tips for keeping your insoles in good condition:

• Make sure you wipe down your Dr. Scholl’s for Her Comfort Insoles after you remove them from your shoes and before you insert them into another pair. This will make sure they keep there adhesiveness.
• When your not using your Dr. Scholl’s For Her Comfort Insoles keep them in a zip lock bag, this will make sure that dirt, lint, and/or anything else, wont ruin your insoles by coming into contact with them.They will be ready for the next time you are ready to use them!
• These work best in shoes that have sides to them. If you wear them with open sandal’s you will see the sides on the Dr. Scholl for Her Comfort Insoles a little. They are clear so if you have a wide foot they may not show as much. These insoles only cover 3/4 of your foot so you wont see them near your toe area.

So if you are like me and are in need of some extra comfort in your flats, boots, heels or anything else you put on your feet Dr. Scholl’s For Her Comfort Insoles may be the answer to your prayers!

Tips:

Make sure you wipe down your Dr. Scholl's for Her Insoles after you remove them from your shoes and before you insert them into another pair. This will make sure they keep there adhesiveness.

TruMoo Chocolate Milk

I received my free vouchers to try Trumoo Milk in the mail in exchange for my honest feedback. It was delivered with great timing since it was shopping day and I was heading out to go grocery shopping (go figure).

First, I would like to say that we normally make our own flavored milk with chocolate syrup so we were new to Trumoo. When I returned home with the groceries in hand, walked into the house and I spotted my youngest looking at me, he always knows that when I go grocery shopping I normally bring home snacks and things he loves. My son loves milk, so when I returned home with Trumoo’s Chocolate and Strawberry Milk and he spotted the containers through the bags (he knows what milk containers look like no matter what kind they are) he ran towards me with excitement! Scared I was going to be tackled I surrendered the Gallon and Half Gallon over to my 8 year old and watched him check out what they were, quickly snatch a cup from the cabinet, pour a large cup of chocolate milk, and gulp it down! He has seen the Trumoo Milk Containers at the grocery store and has asked me in the past for them so he was very excited to see he finally got what he had been asking for. In only a couple of days he has managed to go through over half the gallon alone, milk lover is an understatement. With Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, my little boy is now complete with his new best friend, the Trumoo Chocolate Milk Gallon!

My oldest son was allergic to milk when he was growing up and never really became a fan (he has now grown out of his allergy), knowing how he isn’t much of a fan of milk (and because I was never a fan of regular milk myself) I decided to purchased the Trumoo Strawberry milk for him and myself to try (which was the only way you could get me to drink milk growing up). Of course my 12 year old was reluctant and continued to argue with me about his true hatred for milk. I finally convinced him to try the Trumoo Strawberry Milk and loved the smirk that was left on his face after his first swallow! His face said it all “Mom, you were right, this milk is amazing!” Isn’t this what all of us Mom’s wait centuries to hear from our kids? I humbly smiled and let it be with a hug, but in the back of my mind I was thinking “Wow, I just got him not only to drink milk but to enjoy it?!?”

Since then I have caught him on numerous occasions sneaking in the kitchen for a glass of Trumoo Strawberry Milk. I went to get myself a glass this morning and noticed there was only a little left. I guess both my boys are now Trumoo Milk lovers!

Thanks Trumoo, you saved me from ever having to buy another bottle of Vitamin D for my oldest son and you made me a hero with my youngest son! Trumoo rocks!

Forgiveness: Matthew West

I received a digital copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest feedback.

I love Matthew West, he is one of my favorite Christian Singers, so when I saw this book I was thrilled to read it. I'm so happy it lived up to my expectations! 
As we all know it's not easy giving forgiveness, Asking for forgiveness, forgiving ourselves, and even accepting the Lord's forgiveness at times. Although Our Father asks us to forgive others as he graciously forgives us, many of us still find it as one of our top sinful acts. Why is it so hard to forgive? Why can't we just move past whatever the situation is and trust again without restraint? Why is it so hard to ask for forgiveness? As Matthew West shares the stories of others and what they went through his readers come to see that many go through the same struggles everyday and you will find how these people were able to overcome and move forward. 

What you will find in this book:
Stories about forgiving others, asking for forgiveness, and forgiving yourself. 
Bible scripture on what God say's about forgiveness and stories about forgiveness found in the Bible. 
Embracing God's forgiveness.
How the author was able to deal with situations concerning forgiveness in his life.

If you are like many of us in the world that have a hard time dealing with forgiveness then this is the book for you. You will find at least something you can take out of this book and implement into your life. 

#mamavoxbox Influenster

So, I just received my first voxbox through the influenster program. "I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes."

My voxbox was the #mamavoxbox, it included Dr. Scholl's for Her Insoles, Annie's microwavable Mac and Cheese, belVita Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuit, and Pond's BB+ Cream in Light and Medium shades. 

Dr. Scholl's for Her Comfort Insoles: $12.49

These insoles are amazing. They can be used in a variety of shoes, from heels to boots these insoles will come in handy! They absorb the shock and impact on your heel of your foot and helps to protect the ball of your foot area. 

Annie's Microwavable Mac and Cheese: $1.69 each/$3.29 multipack

I received a sample of the White Cheddar Mac and Cheese. This microwavable mac and cheese isn't kraft by no means! It gives you a little bit of a gourmet feeling on the run. Annie's uses 100% real cheese and all this yumminess is ready in as little as 2 minutes!

belVita Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuit: $3.69 a pack

I received a sample of the Mixed Berry flavor. I love belVita's crunchy biscuits so I was looking forward to trying the soft baked. It's delicious! It tasted just like your grandma's oatmeal cookies. Yum!! Delicious and healthy snack on the go!

Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream: $9.99 in mass retailers

Pond's BB+ cream is exactly as it says, luminous! It goes on silky smooth, smells amazing (as all Pond's products do), gives you a glowing look, and give you long term benefits of even toned skin! It delivers a pigment system designed to blend into your skin flawlessly and conceals pretty well for minor blemishes. It helps target dark spots and helps them fade over time. 

Overall this #mamavoxbox was awesome. It allowed me to try some amazing products and enabled me to have the knowledge of how each product was so that I can do what I do best, give my recommendations and tell everyone about whats hot on the market currently! I loved all of the products I received to sample and will continue to use all of them. 

Thanks influenster! 

Sleep Number 5” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow

I received a Sleep Number 5” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow in exchange for my honest review. 

When it first arrived there was a bit of a smell from the factory so I washed the cover and used Febreze to eliminate the smell. After allowing it to air out it was ready for use. 

I am a very hot sleeper and I was hoping to not have any disappointment from my high expectations of this Sleep Number 5” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow, after fighting off the kids whom were trying with all their mites to steal my new pillow I was ready to take it for a test drive. I normally don’t use contour pillows as well so this was also going to be a first. As I laid my head down onto my new Sleep Number 5” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow my head immediately sunk into it and I felt the cooling foam completely surround my entire head, neck, and shoulder areas. I move around a lot while I sleep and I noticed that the pillow was comfortable no matter which position I was in, stomach, side, or back, it felt comfortable in every way. I also noticed that each time my head would lift and return to the pillow the cooling foam started to work all over again. 

If I had to find one con it would have to be that because I like my head to be equal to my shoulders while I am lying on my side I did place a pillow below this one to raise it up a little and ensure my shoulder wasn’t uncomfortable. But I have to do this with any pillow in order to get it in just the right position for my comfort level. Although this pillow doesn’t cool my entire body (that would be amazing) it did feel amazing to have some cooling relief on my head, neck, and shoulder areas. 

The Sleep Number 5” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow would be a great addition to the Sleep Number DualTemp Layer as well, but is still amazing on it’s own as well! 

So, if you’re looking for some relief from night sweats, heat flashes, if your a hot sleeper, or if you just like that cool refreshing feeling at night I would definitely recommend the  Sleep Number 5” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow!

Aveeno Nourish + Dandruff Control 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner

I received 2 free bottles of Aveeno Nourish + Dandruff Control 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner in return for my honest feedback. 

After using Aveeno Nourish + Dandruff 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner for a few days it was very moisturizing and did leave my scalp more nourished helping my dandruff, it felt more like I was using lotion in my hair than a shampoo and conditioner which I think will take time to get use to. 

Also, I live in florida and have a hard time handling my frizz with the humidity, I noticed my frizz level went up a little. From a scale of 1-10 (1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest) I would give it a score of 9 because of the frizz level slightly going up. Compared to other dandruff shampoo and conditioner combos Aveeno’s product was by far more nourishing, moisturizing, and smelled amazing! 

I have always trusted the Aveeno brand name for as long as I can remember, my children and husband both have extremely sensitive skin and many products will make them breakout in hives at times. But with Aveeno I can always count on any of their products to be nothing but safe on my families delicate skin. When your entire family suffers from extremely sensitive skin and you don’t know what products to trust, you can always trust Aveeno. I couldn’t live without their products! 

Thanks Aveeno!!
