I'm not sure I get the whole dry shampoo craze. I've tried a few small samples of dry shampoo and was like OK these would be great when I have no water to clean my hair. Well the Dove Detox & Purify Dry Shampoo that I received for free to try and review changed my mind. I wash my hair to style my hair and part of styling my hair is blow drying it. Blow drying hair is not great for frizzy hair and my hair has frizz. My blow dryer bit the dust so washing my hair with water would mess up my done hair. When I was selected for the voxbox from Influenster I was a bit skeptical, however it came in handy for me not wanting to wash my hair with water. The first thing I noticed was the lovely scent. It smelled refreshing and like I had gotten out of the shower. My younger daughter enjoyed the smell too and asked for me to use it on her as well. My hair does not get super oily so I didn't notice any change with that. I did notice that my hair was less frizzy after using it. Here is a before and after picture

Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer Review
I have been trying different products for a long time, I've finally decided to write more blog reviews about the products. I may not articulate my thoughts as well as I would like as I am a verbal person, however here goes another review. I received a sample of Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer free to try and review from Crowdtap and Curel, the opinions are my own. At first when I tried the moisturizer it felt strange applying it to my wet skin. It did not seem right to me. I then patted my skin dry and it did not have any residue left over so that was a relief. It took a bit to remember to apply before drying since I'm used to applying to dry skin. I did get used to it and applied it after every shower and even after washing my hands. I put the sample right by my towel so I would remember to use it before drying off. My skin was looking pretty dry and was white and flaky before I started using this. I am sad I did not catch a before picture, but here is an after
Review of Sweet Creations by Good Cook
I was given the chance to try some new products from Sweet Creations by Good Cook. The products I got were a cake/cake pop stand, cupcake corer, cupcake scoop, cupcake divider, cupcake boxes, cupcake liners, and oodletip star point tips for decorating. In the party pack I also got a gift card to purchase ingredients to make and frost cupcakes. I lined my cupcake pans with the liners provided to me for free. The liners were cute, but nothing super special from other liners that I have used. I mixed the cake batter and did made a video using the scoop provided in the pack. Here is the link for that video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q1LZ_YfEgw . I was not that impressed by the scoop, I think the bottom of the scoop should be flat so the batter does not come out of the scoop while I'm filling the cupcake pan. I then decided to use the divider and make a double cupcake flavor. I found it is easier to use the divider in a square pan rather than a round pan. Here is my video link using the divider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPNqP6tLQfE . The divider is fun to use and I like it. The next thing I tested was the cupcake/cake pop stand. There are 7 pieces to the stand, 4 cross pieces and 3 tiers. You only use 2 of the 4 cross pieces at a time. I'm not sure why the cake pop cross pieces are shorter than the cupcake ones, they seem extra and not needed. I posted links to the products at the bottom of this post. Once all was baked and cooled it was party time. We used these tips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHadiZTxpq0 Not the design exactly but the same tip. We all enjoyed the tips and decorating and the corer to fill our cupcakes. So I think the divider, corer, and tips are all great. The boxes were nice, but they weren't as easy to put together as I was hoping. Thanks to Tryazon and Sweet Creations by Good Cook for the #oodletipparty
