I got my first Influenster
VoxBox a few weeks ago and it was like opening a treasure box of my very
own. This post is long overdue and offers a look into the treasures it
contained and what I thought about them (actually, not just me but all in my
family)
What it contained:
- belVita Breakfast Biscuits – These biscuits are all I ask
for in a great snack – tasty, healthy, sustaining, and convenient – they are
perfect with a morning cup of chai or for anytime on the go – just pop the
packet into your purse and you are prepared for any energy-drop during the day.
Biscuits help my snack-cravings normally
and these fit my needs perfectly. One example – it is 3:00 pm and I see an email in my inbox
asking to complete some task ASAP (as always) and I realize I am totally hungry
and need energy to even start on this – the answer – a quick snack – a few nuts
and for my taste cravings, some belVita – helped. - Colgate Optic White Regimen (Toothpaste, Toothbrush and
Mouthwash) – Whiter teeth and fresher
breath – who would not want this? And this regimen promises it. I do see whiter
teeth all around the faces at home since we started using it. The toothbrush
was grabbed by DH the moment he saw it and he loves it so I know the next set
of new toothbrushes will be these ones. I have never been a fan of mouthwash
since it is just overwhelming – the taste and the feel. But this one is
refreshing – I actually felt comfortable using it and felt great afterwards. So
a definite yes to the Optic White family from our family! - Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes –
These are wonderful – the first time I used them I had been feeling exhausted
as well and grimy because it had been windy outside and a short walk had meant
lots of dust all around settling on my face too. I recalled I had to yet try
these out and used my first towelette and this totally refreshed and
rejuvenated me. Definitely recommend this. - Nectresse – just a little
#NECTRESSE makes my cuppa
chai a whole lot sweeter, seriously. And the taste is distinct yet wonderful. I
have been using Nectresse with my desserts too – both Indian desserts like
kheer and for baking the coffeecakes my little ones love. This is indeed a great substitute and one of
the first I actually like. I am certainly going to have this around at home. - Vaseline Spray and Go Total Moisturizer – I, of course, get
a ton of giggles from the kids as i spray them with this after their shower. My
daughter, especially, loves this and I think, has single handedly emptied the
canister. I love the smell and the feel of this moisturizer but am not
personally a fan of anything that I spray from a can – I prefer the
moisturizers I can squirt onto my palm or take a little off from a bottle with
my fingers. So while my little ones are
sure to clamor for more, I think this one will not make an appearance at home.
So, all in all – smoother skin on the go, sweeter mornings,
dazzling smiles, fresher mouths! Thank you, Influenster, for a great
SugarNSpice Box.

Interesting. If they had boxes that were just books, I would certainly try to sign up!
these words seem less…ha…it is often hard to truly capture the awe we can feel at the natural world…
Interesting writing, and what a treasure to open you had!
Ha, please let me not be influenced with such a treasure box…. but liked you poetry a lot.
Yes, nothing is more intoxicating then "Nature's Wonders". Man made wonders are nice to see and visit but I think nature definitely intoxicates us with her beauty each and every day.
I like what you got in your package and will have to check out the sweetener and see if that helps curb my sweet tooth.
Thank you for sharing this with us for this weeks Theme Thursday. I hope your weekend is filled with happy children and also peace and quiet.
God bless.
