Check it Out: The #ReviveVoxBox

It's that time again to find out what I've received in my latest Vox Box from Influenster. All these products are meant to revive me in some way (hence the name), and they seem to be working! Here's the rundown.

Vitamin Shoppe Protein Powders

 

I've never seen the appeal of just mixing protein powders in water. They may taste good, but the consistency is always lacking. That's why you don't have to just put water in them. I tried them with almond milk and cashew milk which made these flavors taste really great. And you don't have to stop there--adding fruits and blending it all together makes for a great smoothie.

Brew and Renew Coffees

 

When K-Cup coffee brewers first came out, I really wanted one. Then I realized that I couldn't use my favorite coffee with it and didn't want to spend a bunch of money trying to find the right flavor. Years have gone by and I switched from being unsure about the cost to completely sure about not wanting to add to landfills with all the waste that K-Cup packaging makes. That's why these Brew and Renew flavors are awesome: the pods work n K-Cup brewers but are made of a compostable material that won't add to the filth we humans try to dispose of every single day. Here's a breakdown of the flavors I received:

Hills Bros.

A classic flavor that I've enjoyed for the past few years.  Hills Bros, is always my go-to brand because I know that it's going to provide the flavor I love and the caffeine I need.

Kauai Coffee Co.

If you've ever had the dream of being in Hawaii, this is the perfect pairing to sway to the tropical breeze. This is another medium roast that hits the spot: great if you like plain black coffee, but even better if you like to dress it up with milk, cream or sugar.

Chock Full o'Nuts

Funny, I was under the impression that Midtown Manhattan would taste like sweltering concrete and broken dreams. Just kidding! This variety of coffee is a smooth and flavorful, which if you close your eyes can take you from your dull surroundings to comfy seat on a fire escape overlooking Broadway, enjoying a piping hot cup o' joe. 

SheaMoisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo and Crème Rinse

I'm a sucker for a good shampoo and conditioner--especially one that doesn't weigh down my hair after a shower. She Moisture is a brand I've known about for a little while (and have tried their face masks, which are always fun to pamper yourself with), so I had no reservations trying out this shampoo.

Snackwell's Biscuit Thins

 

A few months ago I bought a box of breakfast biscuits on a whim (different brand) and thought that the product was a good idea. Crunchy, flavorful, multiple pieces so I don't feel like I'm wolfing it down in one bite. I stuck with that first brand that I bought, but this Vox box changed my mind. The Snackwell's Biscuit Thins that arrived were by far the best tasting biscuits I've tried (and it comes with four in a pack, not three like the competitor). I tried French Vanilla latte, and although it doesn't taste like my morning latte per se, it does have a rich, coffee-filled flavor. and to think, just a few years ago I avoided anything remotely flavored liked coffee! I like it so much I've already bought another box to enjoy in the mornings.

Well, that's it! Have you tried any of these products? I'd love to hear what you think!

Let's Get Going with the #GoVoxBox

The #GoVoxBox from Influenster is here! This is my first VoxBox from Influenster, so I was excited to try out all the goodies inside. This box has a health/wellness theme, so all of the products included should help me reach my spring and summer fitness goals. Here's the breakdown of the products:

Blue Diamond Blueberry Flavored Almonds
I'll be honest: I took one look at this package and was convinced I wouldn't like it. However, I just opened it an hour ago and every single almond has been eaten. It is surprisingly good. I like blueberries, I like almonds--so the combination was really great. I would definitely buy these again as a snack to take with me on busy days.

Muller Quaker Yogurt (Coupon)
I went and redeemed my coupon for a free Muller Quaker Yogurt product  the other day and tried it. I have to say, it was pretty good. I bought the Greek Corners variety that came with sugared almonds. Me and almonds -- seriously a match made in heaven. ;-)

Vitamin Shoppe Next Step Fit N Full Protein Shake (w/ Shaker Cup)
This is where my fitness goals can really be met. Although I try to maintain a healthy diet, I have a bad habit of snacking a lot because I eat when I'm bored. However, the Next Step protein shakes definitely keep me full. I had one for lunch a few days ago, and it was hours before the thought of food even crossed my mind. I mixed it up in the shaker cup provided, but either I didn't shake it long enough or it just didn't mix well with the water because I had a few chunks of powder while drinking it. But the flavors are tasty--they aren't chalky or bitter like I imagined it would be.

*I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes*

Playtex Sport Fresh Balance
I haven't had a chance to use this product yet, but I have used the Sport line of tampons before. They work well and are great for the gym or any other type of exercise. However, the Fresh Balance part of it (says "lightly scented" on the box) doesn't seem so appealing.

ProFoot Traid Orthodic/ ProFoot Pedi Rock
Now this is the way to treat your feet! I slipped the orthodics into my trainers and went for a walk. By the time I got back home, my back and legs weren't as tired or sore as they usually are. I'm definitely glad about that, because that means I can ramp up my workout. After exercising I took a shower, then used the pedi rock to smooth out my heels. I really haven't used a product like this before, but it worked well. I like the fact that it is made from a soft material and you can use it wet or dry.

Aqua Spa Body Creme
This is what you want to have on hand after a hard day--whether you were exercising or just exhausted from work. I received the lavender and chamomile scent. It smells great and relaxes me when I put it on just before I go to bed. After a few days, I have noticed that my skin is a little bit softer.

Overall, this was an AWESOME box! I will definitely continue to use these products in my pursuit of health.
