I LOVE SPRING TAG

Another seasonal tag is floating around andI just couldn't resist!

1. What's your favorite spring nail polish?
Actually I have a brand new shade that I JUST discovered and used tonight and I already know it's going to be my favorite for Spring and probably Summer, too! It's Pacific Blue from Sally Hansen.  I just Instagrammed this picture of it tonight - but this photo totally doesn't do the color justice.  It's the prettiest shade of blue, but has kind of a violet tint to it.  I'm so crazy about it!



2. What is your must-have lip-color this Spring?
Definitely Maybelline Color Whisper in Ohh La Lilac!  To-die-for!



3. Show us your favorite Spring dress!
To be honest, I don't really wear dresses until Summer hits.  Mainly because I have NO tan and don't want to blind anyone with my ghostly white legs! LOL

4. What's your favorite flower?
Stargazer lilies!

5. What is your favorite Spring scarf /accessory?
Definitely my mark Great Shapes necklace.  Coral has been hot this season, so this necklace makes the perfect accessory for virtually any outfit!

6. What Spring trend(s) are you most excited about this year? ( makeup, fashion, or both)
Mainly just the bright, fun colors like coral and mint.


7. Favorite Spring candle?
I'm a Scentsy girl and lemon is my go-to Spring scent.  The Lemon Coconut Chiffon bar is my absolute favorite!


8. Favorite body spray/perfume?
Again, I start pulling out all my lemon stuff when Spring arrives and that includes my Bath and Body Works stash of Summer Vanilla Lemon spray, body wash, and lotion. Smells sooooooo heavenly!


9. What is Spring like where you live?
It's perfect - usually anywhere from 60 - 70 degrees and lots of sunshine!  It's been unseasonably warm this year though, so we've already gotten up into the 80s, but I'm not complaining!  I looooove warm weather!

10. What is your favorite thing about Spring?
Being able to sit outside and feel the sun and just breathe in the fresh air.  I tend to get a little seasonal depression throughout Winter, but as soon as the sunshine and warm weather comes around, I snap right out of it.

11. Are you a Spring cleaner?
Most definitely.  Something about Spring weather just makes me wanna get everything sparkling clean and organized!

12. Any plans for Spring break or an upcoming vacation?
We have a few mini day trips planned, but nothing too fancy.  I was hoping we could get away to the beach this Summer, but we aren't sure yet.  Fingers crossed!

Time to tag some other bloggers :)

INFLUENSTER SUGAR 'N SPICE VOXBOX REVIEW

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw the picture of my very first Influenster box I received a few weeks ago...


I immediately got lots of questions from people wanting to know more about Influenster.  Your best bet is to check out their website for all the deets, but here's an overview...  Basically, you sign up and take surveys, write reviews, engage through social media about different products.  Active members then get exclusive access to deals, promotions, and free products to try! In return, they want your feedback on the products you received.  You can blog, vlog, tweet, Facebook...the more ways you share, the better your chances of receiving future boxes.

So anywho...on to the goodies!  I was pleasantly surprised at the full size products since I was expecting mostly samples.  So here's what was included...

Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Total Moisture (view here)
This was my favorite product in the box!  If you've used spray tanning oil, this is pretty much the same concept.  I've been using this one on my legs after I shower and it moisturizes wonderfully!  I love that you get such an even application.  The only thing I'll argue is that they say you don't have to wait for it to dry, you can get dressed right away... I found that it did take a minute or two to completely dry.  Not a big deal breaker for me though, I still love it!  And just this past weekend I started seeing commercials for it... kinda cool that I was able to get my hands on it first!  Influenster perk!

belVita Breakfast Biscuits (view here)
These were verrrrrry yummy.  The taste reminded me a lot of graham crackers and I think they'd be a great on-the-go breakfast or snack. I believe they have different flavors, too!  I will definitely be checking these out during my next trip to the grocery store.

Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes (view here)
These towelettes are also really nice!  The ingredients are natural which is always a plus!  They are said to refine pores, remove & control oil, soothe irritation, and lock in moisture.  I would say all of those statements hold true.  I don't have a huge problem with oil, but they did remove all my makeup at the end of the day and worked great with my sensitive skin.  Influenster also included some $2 coupons for these in the box.

Nectresse 100% Natural No Calorie Sweetener (view here)
Gotta say, this was pretty tempting - all natural, no calories.  But, I've made a vow not to use any sugar substitutes.  Sorry, Nectresse!

Colgate Optic White Toothpaste, Mouthwash, and Toothbrush (view here)
I have been using Crest's 3D White and 3D White Luxe, so I was excited to try the Colgate version which claims whiter teeth in only 5 days.  Unfortunately, I just couldn't handle the taste.  I'm not someone who likes a real strong mint flavor...I can't even chew certain gums or use Altoids because the taste just turns my stomach for some reason.  So, sadly, I can't speak much to the toothpaste or mouthwash.  However, the toothbrush is amazing!  It has soft rubber cups that hold toothpaste and help remove surface stains.  I'm a big fan of this toothbrush and will definitely be re-purchasing.

All in all, great products that I was excited to try out.  I hope I am included in future Influester Vox Boxes and if so, I'll be sure to share my reviews here on my blog.

Thanks for reading - have a great week! xo
I received these products complimentary from Influenster.
