Starting in June

Starting next month, which happens to be next week, I should be trying to keep a weekly update of all the kids free/inexpensive activities to do during the summer. I will mix in product reviews posts of products I have received free because I do like free things and wish to continue to get more and using my blog as another way to keep my score on the review sites up. Here are the links that I use to find out the information of things going on around town and what movies are showing at what theaters and outdoor movies and kids workshops.

Good2Grow bzzz

Here's another review of a product that I received free thanks to being part of bzzagent.com. I got the Good2Grow juices and character no-spill tops. Being a mom of 4 no-spill tops I am a bit skeptical about since I've bought so many "no-spill" lids and cups and things like that and someway they've all spilled. I hit the jackpot and this do not spill. I had my older kids (11 and 9) put the juices full upside down over their heads, no spills and no drips! Perfect for my younger kids to carry around their juice and not worry about a sticky spill where they leave it. Another  great thing is the juice tastes great that my 5 year old thought she was drinking apple juice even though she was drinking juice with beets in it. I am glad to have found this product and I passed out the coupons I got from the bzzkit to parents at the school my kids go to. Thanks Good2Grow for a great product and thanks bzzagent for selecting me.

Bloggin

Blogging isn't on the top of my list of things to do in my life which is one reason why I don't do blogs all the time but sporadically, usually when I'm looking for things to do with my kids or now blogs about products I've tried after receiving them free. The activities that happen are all links on the side of my blog so viewers can click them to see what is coming up.
This post is about a product that I got sent for free to try in a VoXBoX from Influenster. It is a Botanics Ionic Clay Mask by Boots Beauty USA.
I was hesitant to try the mask at first because I do not recall every using an at home mask before and I have sensitive skin. Also finding spare time to put a mask on was not easy with an 11 month old that clings to me.
I finally bit the bullet, the baby was asleep and I opened up the bottle and put the contents onto my hands. I started around my cheeks then down my neck, I was afraid to start on my forehead since I didn't want it to run into my eyes. I left it on for 10 minutes then rinsed it off. I was surprised the glow I saw on my face afterwards. I was also surprised my skin was not irritated, another concern of mine.
I would recommend the mask to others because I saw a difference and there was no irritation. I can't wait until I can find another chance to use it. I did receive it free to try and review from Influenster.com.

Now onto my review of my J'Adore Vox Box that I got free from Influenster.
I found out about Influenster from another blog and from a friend. As many of you know I am a fan of free things and Influenster is a free program that you are chosen for different product boxes. I was super excited when I saw that I got a survey to be determined if I would get the box or not. Then my excitement grew when I saw I was selected. Oh the joy of it when I got the e-mail with the tracking information about my box. Then when I got my box I was so excited to open it. I got a family size of Hershey's Kisses, John Frieda Frizz Ease 3 Day Straight spray, Red Rose Tea and a coupon, Boots Beauty USA Botanicals Clay Mask, and Kiss Lashes.
The Hershey's Kisses were the first thing I got into, my daughter couldn't wait to get one. I then found some fun Hershey's Kisses recipes and crafts and pin them to share here is my link of some of my favorite recipes and crafts: http://www.pinterest.com/hwschilling/lovesandkisses-hersheyskisses/ 
The next item I got into was the John Frieda Frizz Ease 3 Day Straight spray. My hair is naturally coarse and frizzy. After using this my hair looked and felt soft and silky even after using my blow-dryer! It even feels great the following day https://www.facebook.com/johnfriedaus
I am waiting for a special night out to get out the Kiss Lashes, my birthday is next month and I might wear them for one of the free birthday dinners from the restaurants I have joined their birthday club and e-mail mailing list for. https://www.facebook.com/KissNails
The Boots Beauty USA Botanicals clay mask sounds very soothing and like it will be great for my skin, however I have not found a spare moment to use it to give it a proper review. My plan is to hopefully use it Monday night. https://www.facebook.com/BootsBeautyUSA
The Red Rose Lemon Chiffon Tea sounds delicious and again I am looking forward to tasting it I just have to take the right moment to prepare it just right so I can enjoy it fully, maybe while watching DownTon Abbey. https://www.facebook.com/RedRoseTea

Those who read this may wonder what makes me someone to review different items, one thing is I'm honest and I am always sharing good finds (as this blog has become to be). "I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes."
