Profoot Pedi Rock, and Triad inserts..they 'rocked' my world!


I received Profoot Pedi Rock and ProFoot Triad inserts in my GoVoxBox and I was beyond excited. 
First, the Triad inserts. These are amazing! When you first look at them, they are a little strange, because they are only 3/4 inserts. These are beyond comfortable though. I had no hesitation in picking what shoes they would go into, my favorite Nikes. The only concern I had was that my Mikes are already tight, and I was afraid that the inserts would make them too tight. The great news, this did not happen. These are available at Walmart for less than $5.00, and I would say they are worth it. They advertise that they help with knee and back pain, which I haven't experienced enough to notice a difference. I can attest to the fact that they have helped with my plantar fasciitis. I will be purchasing more when the time comes, does anyone know how often to replace inserts?
Now for the profoot pedi rock. This thing was amazing! I have super duper ticklish feet, so I don't file my feet often. I had no problem using this pedi rock on my feet though. There was no tickle, and it was very effective. Any extra or rough skin was removed, and I didn't have to put a lot of work into. Two things I didn't necessarily like.... I didn't like how big it was to be honest. It was slightly hard to hold. The other thing was that it left a lot of particles in the water, and made the water look nasty. 
I loved both these products, and I am extremely happy that I was introduced to another great company that I had never heard of before.

Playtex Regular Sport tampons... do they live up to the hype?

I am a recent convert from Tampax to Playtex, so I was happy to hear we would be receiving Playtex Sport tampons in our GoVoxBox. The disappointment set in though when I realized we would only be getting regular absorbency. Unfortunately, I am one of those females who can't use anything lower than a super plus. But I was still able to text a few of these out on the very light ending days. I liked the odor shield, but was slightly disappointed when it caused a slight irritation. They are very protective, and I did feel comfortable since I was having a light day. Playtex is a fantastic brand, and will continue to purchase them, just in the Ultra absorbency instead. Do you use Playtex? If not, what's your favorite brand??




Influenster GoVoxBox.. did it get me going?




I was so excited to be picked for the Influenster GoVoxBox! Let's start with a little about influenster. They are a website that you complete reviews, and unlock badges, then get picked for different events that they have open and available. You do receive the products all complimentary, but in return it is requested that you complete tasks, while reviewing the products. 
Ok let's get into my items.... 
This was a pretty big box this time around, and featured 8 different items, by 6 different brands. Some of the brands I have heard of before, so I have not. 
I received ProFoot pedi rock, and triad inserts. These by far were my favorite products in the box. The pedi rock was perfect since it's now FLIP FLOP SEASON! The inserts fit perfect in my favorite Nikes, and have only made them better. 
I also received 2 products from vitamin shoppe. I received 3 different protein shake mixes and a shaker bottle. The shaker bottle is just adorable, however the shakes were not my favorite. I received chocolate, vanilla, and berry. The chocolate, and vanilla were chalky but I found out I could add the berry flavor to my morning fruit smoothie and it actually enhanced the flavor while curbing my hunger. 
Playtex sport tampons were a nice little additional to this box, however for me personally the regular is just not enough when I'm full swing. HOWEVER, my regular brand is still Playtex, I just make sure I use Ultra. 
We all got at least one voucher to go pick a free Muller yogurt. Initially I was excited for this, because I love yogurt, however after attempting to find Muller anywhere I was disappointed. There were not a lot of flavor options, but when I finally picked one, it was delicious. 
Blue Diamond Almonds are always delicious, but they made them even better by putting blueberry flavoring on them. Yes, you read that correct, BLUEBERRY FLAVORING! These tasted like blueberry muffins, even my 3 year old daughter said so lol. 
Last item was the aquaspa bath salts. I use the bath salts with the ProFoot pedi rock, they were amazing. They had a light but lasting scent, and soften my feet so nicely. 
All in All this was an amazing box... did you get the GoVoxBox? What did you think about it??


Coppertone Clearly Sheer, Did it light up my world?


So, I received a new product for my family to test and review. I received this product from BzzAgent and Coppertone, it was the new Coppertone Clearly Sheer sunscreen. I was SUPER excited to try this, because it came right in time for summer to start. 
The first thing I did was smell it, let's all be honest, sunscreen doesn't always have the best smell. The Coppertone Clearly Sheer had a pretty decent scent though. There was almost like a citrus smell that was infused into it. This, was a good start for me!
I noticed there were 2 different bottle colors, one being blue and the other being yellow. Yellow is for 'sunny days' days that you are outside doing yard work, playing with the kids, etc. It is 30 SPF. The blue bottle however it for 'pool days', it's geared more to days at the beach or the pool, and it is 50 SPF. I was pretty happy that there were 2 different levels to try. Another thing that I loved is that the 50 SPF is an all over spray, and the 30 SPF was a lotion. The only downside it that with having a 3 year old, I like to do spray over the body, and lotion on the face, so I personally would have preferred a 50 SPF lotion as well. 
So Memorial Day came, and we were finally able to really test out the Coppertone Clearly Sheer. We went fishing as a family, and it was a blast. We sprayed the sunscreen on my daughter Teagan, and GUESS WHAT!?! She didn't complain! There was no complaint on it being 'gross' or 'stinky'. This in my book is ALWAYS a good thing. Now I liked that it was not slimy, greasy, or stinky. It absorbed into our skin so that it didn't get all over our clothes. We were out in the sun for a few hours, and I felt completely reassured that my daughter would not leave with a sun burn. And I was right! It covered her for hours, without a problem, and no irritation to her skin!
I did receive a few sample sizes that I put into her daycare bag, and I can tell they use it on her during the day, and it makes me happy knowing that my daughter is being protected from the sun even when I am not there. 
All in all, the Coppertone Clearly Sheer is a great sunscreen for our family. I actually already bought a new bottle for our trip to Seattle. Thanks Bzzagent and Coppertone for letting my family enjoy this new product.! Did you try Coppertone? What were your families thoughts??
