INFLUENSTER RELAUNCHES WITH A WHOLE NEW LOOK!
Influenster.com has launched their new site full of fun new activities.
It used to be you signed up and signed up to be an expert at everything and could only review things that were in your Voxbox.
Not anymore.
Influenster now allows you to be an EXPERT in 5 Subject Areas.
However you're free to review all the products not just ones in your VoxBox.
A VoxBox is a box full of full size items for members to try and review.
We are NOT Paid for our opinions, they're strictly our own.
It's truly where you can turn your influence into rewards. Blog about items you have tried and love.
Found a new and amazing Moisturizer? Feel free to review it on the NEW and Much Improved and Highly Anticipated Influenster.com website.
Here's some information straight from their website about what Influenster is and is NOT! :
"What Is Influenster
Influenster is a free-to-join community of invited trendsetters who live to give opinions of products and experiences. Influenster creates links between brands and members to reward participation and influence future products.
So...what exactly is Influenster? So glad you asked. Here’s a handy definition that would make Merriam-Webster proud:
Influenster [in-floo-uhn-ster]
noun
An exclusive online community where tastemakers and trendsetters (such as yourself) come to share the latest and greatest news, places, products, and reviews with each other. 2. The hotspot you just bookmarked on your web browser that turns your social influence into sweet rewards.
Basically, Influenster is a place for culture junkies to come together and share their unique opinions of products and experiences. Active members of Influenster get exclusive access to deals, promotions, and swag from brands that thrive off the input (the good, the bad, and the ugly -- they just want to know what's up).
Do I have the chops to be a member?
Probably. Members have an active social life -- both online and offline -- and are always the first to tell friends about the latest discoveries. They want to be the first to know about the products other cool people are loving and hating. Is that you? Awesome, we want you as a member.
What’s involved in a membership?
As a member, you prove your influence by gaining Expert Badges and show how you live by earning LifeStage Badges...both of which are won in a variety of ways, such as: completing surveys, writing reviews, creating videos, and engaging in other social media.
What’s in it for me?
Very important. As a contributing member of Influenster, you get the chance to share your knowledge and know-how with other like-minded people.
You also get exclusive discounts on products and services based on the Expert Badges you unlock. You’ll have access to content and sales based on your influence and area of expertise.
As an active influencer, you’ll have the chance to get invites to Influenster programs so you can try the latest and coolest products catered towards your lifestyle before anyone else.
Members who participate actively on Influenster and engage in programs increase their opportunities to receive rewards.
If you participate in online challenges, play interactive games, spread the word to your friends, and gain currency within our system, you’ll earn serious street cred.
So wait, is this about getting free stuff?
Nope. If you’re here to mooch, this isn't the place for you. Nobody, no matter how high his or her Influenster Score, is guaranteed rewards. Even if you are offered a reward, you can always opt out. The real benefit of membership is access to exclusive content, product reviews, and discussion within a community of tastemakers. Perks are just the icing on the proverbial cake.
Why is this so fun?
There are many reasons. First and foremost, it's a forum for you and your peers to share your interests and discover what other trendsetters are doing and saying. It's like-minded people coming together to inspire one another and offer advice. Secondly, you’re competing with other members for the highest Influenster Score and Expert Badge scores. Just like a game that you can win, and winning is never not fun.
How did Influenster get started?
It was a dark and stormy night…wait, that’s not right. Influenster was started in 2010 by a team of people just like you: culture and beauty junkies with a whole lot of opinions about everything. We wanted a place to come together to share our opinions and hear what other people like us had to say about products and services. The goal? To learn what other influencers care about and to help brands make products that better serve us. After so many hours of labor, out popped Influenster -- an active community where real people share their experiences and give feedback to improve the products we use and the world we live in (yeah, we went there).
After all, you don't have to be a celebrity to think Diet Coke is bubbly and delicious. Every one of us can be influential in different areas with opinions that matter. As consumers, we want to know what other people like us think about products. Influenster is our answer. We give your opinions a voice and your feedback a direct route to brands and trendsetters."
For more information please feel free to go to http://www.influenster.com
Since Influenster is now by invite only, If you're not a member at this time but feel you have exactly what Influenster is looking for send me an email at jaimenjacob@yahoo.com or jaimenjacob@gmail.com
I've got 3 invites left. Special Priority will be given for anyone who already has an established blog.
Hope to hear from you all soon.

"EBOOST" Great Energy with Zero Crash!
What I love about the EBOOST that I received Complimentary from Influenster.com for testing and reviewing this product is that it has given me tons of energy with absolutely NO CRASH.ZERO CRASH!! Never found a product that advertised a Zero Crash that actually performed as well as EBOOST has done. It truly works.
It comes in both Effervescent Powders as well as shots.
Personally I prefer the powders.
I received a sample of Eboost in Orange. I'm NOT a big orange drink lover and it was tolerable though not 100% to my liking. I probably would've preferred one of the 3 other flavors that this drink comes in :Pink Lemonade, Acai Pomegranate, and Super Berry. I felt super energized and able to focus on tasks at hand rather quickly (with in about 30 minutes) and it lasted about 6 hours and I again had a ZERO Crash factor which is very important to me.
The drink is very easy to mix and mixes well with bottled water which I use in my home rather then regular tap water. Again I'm NOT a lover of Orange Powder Mixes or Orange Drinks in general but if you are this will probably taste great to you. I'm sure if I was to test the Pink Lemonade or the Acai Pomegranate or even the Super Berry I'd have given my review 5 stars instead of 4 1/2 out of 5 .
If you want more information on Eboost here is a link back to their website:

"SheaMoisture Baby Bar Soap" So Gentle and Mild
I received as part of my demographics a bonus in my Naturals VoxBox 2012 from Influenster.com a SheaMoisture Baby Bar Soap complementary to try and review.
I love that: SheaMoisture Baby Bar Soap is Enriched with unrefined, "raw" shea butter, argan oil, chamomile extract, frankincense and myrrh...Definitely not just for babies!It's sooo moisturizing and gentle that I even have begun to use it.
I love how it lathers up nicely too.
I thought I really loved Ivory but this is sooo much gentler on my son's skin then Ivory. SheaMoisture Baby Bar Soap is sooo gentle and is made with only the finest of ingredients. My son had a heat rash that just wouldn't go away. So I bathed him with the SheaMoisture Baby Bar Soap and after drying him noticed it was just about completely GONE! Talk about remarkable. I also love how it lathers up. I never did get this kind of lathering from 7th Generation or other soaps I've tried that are all natural.
SheaMoisture is made with RAW Shea Butter, Argan Oil, as well as Extracts of Frankincense and Myrrh so you know you're getting the best ingredients.
This is also great if you have irritated skin or eczema.
IF you need more information you can always go to their website which is:
http://www.sheamoisture.com/
And this product can be purchased at the following stores:
all Walgreens stores and select Target, CVS, Bed Bath & Beyond, Buy Buy Baby, Christmas Tree Shops, Harmon Face Values, Duane Reade and Meijer stores.
as well as online at:
Target.com, CVS.com, Walgreens.com, and Harmondiscount.com.
The product retails for about $4.99 per bar which is a bit steep when you consider you can get 10 bars of Ivory for about the same price. However, The SheaMoisture Baby Bar Soap is far superior in reducing inflamation and eczema and itching as well as irritated skin.This said I can literally justify its cost.
If you haven't tried this product yet I highly recommend you do so.
Again I'm an Influenster on Influenster.com and I got to try this amazing product complementary courtesy of Influenster.com in exchange for my honest opinion of this product.
"LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer™"
One of the newest products that I received in my Naturals VoxBox 2012 from Influenster.com that I received complimentary is Lypsyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer!
I really LOVE this LypMoisturizer! It really SOFTENS my lips with all natural ingredients and lasts an extremely long time.
Even though I haven't reported my findings till now, (My son was extremely ill and so while attending to him I did test the products just didn't have time till now to report the findings)I will say I was highly impressed at just how long the LypSyl Lasted without having to reapply it. It lasted on average on my very dry lips an average of 6-8 hours and I really Love the results. My lips are soft and subtle and feel better then they have in this humid Florida heat in months!
The Lypsyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer is very affordable at only between $2.87 and $2.99 per tube! Even more affordable then other lip balms in its category and the only one I know to have been made with all natural ingredients!
Lypsyl is made from Pure Swedish Beeswax, Organic Shea Butter, and vitamins A & E. Lypsyl Definitely PENETRATES deep below the skin all naturally letting chapped lips heal and gives much needed moisture to prevent cracking.
If you haven't tried it I highly recommend it.
Once you do you'll quickly become a fan.

The Original Dish Drying Mat...
I absolutely LOVE my new The Original Dish Drying Mat. I received this complimentary from Influenster for testing and review purposes in my Influenster Naturals Voxbox 2012 box.
First off Let me Say I've received this product in my Mom's Voxbox 2012 so am very familiar with this product. I love it! When I first received this in my Mom's Voxbox 2012 Box I was totally intrigued! I couldn't wait to get it out of the packaging (was really simple as it was just in a sleeve.
I followed the instructions. Prior to use I washed this with like colors in Cold Water and I put it on Low in the dryer . Per the instructions I did wash with a gentle Liquid Laundry Detergent, I did NOT add any fabric softener or dryer sheets, and I tumble dried on Low.
This is definitely a brand new solution to the age old problem of where to dry the dishes. I have a dishwasher as you can see from the picture, but with the economy I prefer to wash my dishes by hand! I hate the bottom of the dish drainer I have one that is stainless steel and it tends , after a while to rust. Also soap scum was always an issue. What to do , what to do. Well i did think of putting my dishes to dry on a dish towel but it would soak to the counter , not to mention that it is totally unsanitary as any bacteria under a glass can grow , even after a few minutes. Well THE ORIGINAL DISH DRYING MAT has most definitely solved this problem.
First off it's made of microfiber and can hold 4 x it's weight in water. Secondly since it is made of a piece of foam sandwiched between two layers of a very high-quality super absorbant microfiber it literally can cushion even the most delicate of stemware and still protect you against bacteria.
This is definitely one of the best products I've ever received to test and review. The Original Dish Drying Mat will also protect your counter tops from scratches and scuffs.
And it's the perfect size at 16" x 18".
I love that it has a loop on it so I can literally hang it on the back side of a cabinet door. The Original Dish Drying Mat can also fold and store very easily underneath a counter in easy reach for when you do need this.
The color I received from Influenster complimentary to test is called "Cream" but it does come in 3 additional colors: "Green", "Gray", and "Red".
This item is very affordable at only $4.99 at either Bed, Bath and Beyond in store or online at BedBathBeyond.com . The Original Dish Drying Mat is sold EXCLUSIVELY at Bed, Bath, & Beyond.
I also found a few other uses for my mat: #1- I have a very mischievous and highly active 2 yr old son who loves to splash in the tub and bring his favorite toy boat that gives you a waterfall of water into the tub and loves to use a washcloth rather then a sponge. Sooooo..what's a mother to do? I'm there making him bathe and he just loves soaking me! LOL! I've found that since this is so fantastically super absorbent that I've bought an additional one for when I take my son out of the tub to put the washcloth and the toy boat on it to dry. No longer do I have to wonder where to put his boat to dry out (has a lot of holes on bottom so drying with a towel isn't practical!). I just get him out. Take out my The Original Dish Drying Mat and put his washcloth and Toy Boat onto The Original Dish Drying Mat and Voila..Problem is now solved!
Another practical use is for gift baskets for birthdays, housewarming parties, kids going off to college and moving into their own apartment or dorm, engagement parties and weddings, just to name a few! LOL! I love making it as the centerpiece of the gift basket! I bought 10 in the "Cream" of The Original Dish Drying Mat , as how can you go wrong with such an awesome product that only costs you $4.99 plus tax (and s/h if ordering online)! Heck that's the price of one of those high end Cappuccinos! So far I haven't made the baskets yet, but I've got one housewarming party coming up the beginning of August! When I make the basket I'll be sure to post this here! So be sure to come back!
So far I've bought about 20 of these The Orginal Dish Drying Mats at Bed Bath and Beyond in ALL the colors. I use one at my front door for taking off flip flops and shoes and have included several in my numerous gift baskets and have bought several more to give to the women of Quigley House a Battered Women's Shelter as they move on and get their own new apartment or home I give each lady a gift basket and at the center of the gift basket is ALWAYS The Original Dish Drying Mat in Beige so it can go with any decor they may have. These ladies have come from nothing and believe me when you see their expressions on their faces it is so totally worth the few extra dollars to see their priceless smiles!
Again I'm an Influenster from Influenster.com and I get VoxBoxes containing various products to test and review on my blog totally complimentary.
For More information you can go back to their website which is:

CleanWell Natural Hand Sanitizing Wipes Are Incredible.
I received as part of my Influenster Naturals Voxbox 2012 a complimentary sample of the CleanWell All-Natural Hand Sanitziing wipes. Even though I received only 1 sample Wipe it definitely was enough to judge this product.
First off it has ZERO Alcohol in it which means it will NOT dry out your hands and in fact will make them softer then ever, unlike other hand sanitizing wipes.
It's safe for the hands and face and is a great size at 5"x7" it will definitely be enough to clean even the messiest faces that your child may get eating such things as chocolate, candy , etc. I love how it's all natural and because of this is easy on our earth which is a passion of mine.
What most impressed me with the CleanWell Natural Hand Sanitizing Wipe is that there is NO MESS, NO MUSS and NO FUSS. I tend to carry higher end designer purses and I've found that the small bottles of sanitizer can come undone if in my purse. NO so with the CleanWell Natural Hand Sanitizing Wipe. Not to mention the other brands have alcohol in them which is harsh on my hands and doesn't clean nearly as well as the CleanWell Natural Hand Sanitizing Wipe does.
If you haven't tried it you really must.
They are a bit on the pricey side of $29.99 for 50 pouches but when you compare that to what you'll save having to have purses professionally cleaned or ruined it's a small amount to pay.

WOOLITE EXTRA DARK CARE ROCKS THIS HOUSE!:)
I am a member of Crowdtap a wonderful community dedicated to conversing on our favorite brands. In addition to doing quick hits (very fast 1 question surveys) I also participate in Monitored Discussions, and do samplings and parties. The samples are provided by Crowdtap complimentary , at no charge in exchange for me handing out the samples and giving honest feedback.
I Love Crowdtap because I get to raise money for my favorite charity the ASPCA as well as earn points that I can exchange for either additional Donations or gift cards like Amazon.com codes etc.
I was selected to the Woolite Extra Dark Care Sampling. I received 10 samples of Woolite Extra Dark Care to give out to friends, family or even strangers and get their feedback!
I gave this all out to my friends who work in my mother's Doctor's Office. My friends always were complaining how the Black Scrubs they wear as part of their uniforms always looked so faded after only a few washings. Also how their Black Jeans on Dress Down Fridays looked dingy too after only a few washings.
Well Say no more! I have the solution to this problem. It's called Woolite Extra Dark Care.
I've been using it for quite a while and it keeps all my darks looking brand new much longer then anything out there on the market today!
My friends always asked me how I look so fresh and how come my jeans NEVER SEEM TO FADE?!?! I told them that I wash ALL my darks in Woolite Extra Dark Care. I also wash my lights in a separate load and my whites in a 3rd load and THE ONLY detergent I now use is Woolite Extra Dark Care! They were impressed. To further impress my friends I did 2 loads of laundry! One set of dark clothes in a different detergent and the other load in Woolite Extra Dark Care. I put them side by side! BOY OH BOY was there a HUGE Difference. I then asked my friends which load was washed in Woolite Extra Dark Care and which in the "other" detergent. Everyone picked The Woolite Extra Dark Care. It was THAT easy to tell the difference.
I then gave each of my friends a sample of this detergent with my personal invitiation to join Crowdtap using my special Invite Code. Just click below! at the bottom of this review , just below and to the left of the pictures!!
Everyone was totally stoked by the sample and EVERYONE said that after one use they wish they would've listened to me sooner and bought the Woolite Extra Dark Care Detergent.
Everyone I gave the sample to were instantly converted to Woolite Extra Dark Care after trying it for just one time!
If you haven't tried it I highly recommend that you do!
Again I received this sampling as a member of Crowdtap.com and in no way did I receive any compensation nor was my opinions influenced in any way by receiving this sampling. This is my honest review.
Below you'll find pictures of my friends with their samples and their Black Scrubs on after I washed them personally in my bottle of Woolite Extra Dark Care.

Heck that's the price of one of those high end Cappuccinos! So far I haven't made the baskets yet, but I've got one housewarming party coming up the beginning of August! When I make the basket I'll be sure to post this here! So be sure to come back!
Again I'm an Influenster from Influenster.com and I get VoxBoxes containing various products to test and review on my blog totally complimentary.
imPRESS Manicure by Broadway Nails Really Rocks!
This is TRULY a REVOLUTIONARY and QUICK way to apply polish! It's called imPRESS Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails. It's fast and easy! Just find the correct nail size, peel, and Press with pressure and Voila! Your new nails are done! :) They're made to last about a week w/ regular wear and tear. and best of all? NO DRYING TIME! Easy and lasts for up to a week!
According to the information I've received these nails are available in 36 patterns and solid colors combined so you can truly wear a different color or pattern every day for an entire month and still NOT have tried them all!:)
These are available at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Kmart and several other stores. For a complete list of stores and for more information on this wonderful product go to : www.imPressManicure.com
The only thing I will let my fans and friends know is that with the imPRESS Manicure by Broadway Nails it works better on shorter more manicured nails; not long nails and that's the only fault I've found with this product.
NOTE: I was very fortunate that I was able to try product complimentary as part of being an influenster on Influenster.com and getting to try this as part of being in my Mom Voxbox. A Voxbox is a box with several items that come in a box that I get to try complimentary. In exchange, I review them with my honest opinions and that's what you're getting in this review. My honest opinion on imPress Manicure by Broadway is that this truly Rocks!:) I received the color Stiletto and it was really a nice shade of pink. Perfect from going from day to night! I've been a HUGE fan of ImPress Manicure Nails since I first received them in my Holiday VoxBox from Influenster back around December 2011. Since then I've been buying these nails, including them in gift baskets etc. Above you'll find a pic of my wonderfully new manicured nails that I received in my Mom VoxBox in Stiletto! Hope you enjoy!

"Dino Lingo" A New Way For Your Child To Learn a New Language
While I didn't receive the DVD in my MomVoxBox from Influenster to try and review I was able to go to their website : http://www.dinolingo.com to try a lesson with my son in Spanish. He's a very active 2 yr old boy. I really didn't know if he would take to this or not. He was able to sit through it though he isn't all that verbal yet, so I was totally amazed at how he was able to say one word "Ghato" meaning "cat"...
According to their website the way the program works is that :"Dino Lingo is an interactive language learning program for children.
Fueled by a child's own imagination, kids learn a new language through
interactive teaching techniques that incorporate play and storytelling and
encourage your child to start speaking it almost immediately."
You can choose from several different languages , and being my son is 1/2 Hispanic we chose Spanish.
It's a great tool but I personally would recommend it for ages 3 and up though 2 yrs old is a great starting point if only to let your child look at it like we did. It's $99.95 plus $5.95 for standard shipping but I do love the fact that it comes w/ a complete 30 day money back guarantee.
My husband and I are seriously considering buying this set in Spanish when my son becomes a little bit more verbal so that we can teach him a 2nd language. After investigating all the other children's learning a 2nd language kits on the market this one seems to be the best and the only one that has actually held my child's interest which is why we're going to buy this one.
They even just released an Italian version and being 1/2 Italian myself we can teach him both Spanish and Italian. But we're going to start with the Spanish one first.
Highly recommended. Here's a picture of my son going around saying "Ghato" meaning "Cat" in Spanish! He is so proud of his accomplishment!
“The Many Uses of Ivory”
I'm sooo excited to have received a full size bar of Ivory Soap as part of being an Influenster as part of my MomVoxBox. You see I received this product complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster and Ivory as a participant in the Mom VoxBox campaign.
There is so much I can say about Ivory Soap. I love that it is 99.94 % pure. No extra additives or irritants that can irritate one's skin much less my baby's skin. My son isn't super sensative to soap but I've found that this one seems to be the gentlest of them all.
I also found that there's another use that I'm going to investigate later on and that's to make home made laundry soap at a fraction of the coast of traditional laundry soap! WOW who ever thought of that was a genious.
Plus it's the only soap that actually floats. My son loves crafts and loves boats so I did something that we as kids used to do and that was to make a boat out of the Ivory Soap before we used it! :)
To do this is super simple: take 1 bar of Ivory Soap, 1 took pick, 2 sticky notes and a pen to write a message if you like, a little scotch tape and that's it.
To put this together is super easy. Just take the toothpick and put it in the center of the bar of Ivory Soap. Then take the two sticky notes after writing a message (In our case we put the USS Sylva on both sides LOL )and then put a little bit of scotch tape at bottom of the ticky notes and around the toothpick to seal it. Then just fill the bathtub and let it float! It was a lot of fun as you will be able to see from the picture! My son really enjoyed this bath and was almost like a prune when he got out as he just had so much fun playing with his floating "boat". LOL
Ivory is also very affordable. It's like $1.34 for 3 bars or $4.99 for a 10 pack at most stores like WalMart and Target.
I even suggest following Ivory on both Twitter and FB.
Here's their FB page :https://www.facebook.com/Ivory
and here's their twitter page: http://twitter.com/Ivory
Years ago I heard how Ivory Soap can be used as a stain remover for getting things like "ring around the collar" out. I was skeptical but when hubby came home last week w/ a case of "ring around the collar" I decided to give it a try! Well guess what? NO MORE "RING AROUND THE COLLAR" .
I'm really impressed with how many uses there are for Ivory Soap and how affordable it is , especially in today's economy where everyone, myself included is trying to save money.
I'm sure that once you try Ivory Soap you will find just as many uses as I have and maybe even more. If so please feel free to leave new uses here on the blog!
"Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies" A New Family Favorite
I received a Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookie as part of my Mom VoxBox for being an Influenster on Influenster.com. It was complimentary for testing and review purposes as I'm a trendsetter and love trying new things and am a big influence on family, friends, people from church and even complete strangers. The Quaker soft Baked Oatmeal Cookie that came in My MomVoxBox was a Soft Oatmeal Raisin cookie. Just like my mom used to bake. Nice Soft and sooo delicious. The only problem? My 2 yr old son Vincent got a hold of it as I was unpacking my MomVoxBox and luckily I was able to grab a small nibble so I could try it in order to write this review. LOL
It was a tremendous hit so on our next trip to our local WalMart SuperCenter the next day it was added to my list. Only problem was the only flavor they had in stock was Apple Cinnamon. I figured why not just try it out. Well I'll be honest. I NEVER thought that I could find a soft cookie that could out do the Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. The Apple Cinnamon did just that! It's totally delicous. I'm glad I bought 2 boxes instead of just the one box I thought I'd buy.
Because the next day when I went to get a cookie I was left with an empty box..courtesy of my husband and 2 yr old son who is now able to get the stepstool and get to the "Cookie Closet". LOL
Here's a picture of what the box looks like . It's totally awesome and like I stated I got this complimentary from Quaker as part of my MomVoxBox from Influenster in order to test and review this product. It's definately 10 fingers up.. I surrender. This is a fabulous tasting cookie!

MY TRUVIA PRIZE PACK FROM INFLUENSTER.COM
Here's a pic of my Influenster.com Truvia Prize Pack.
As you all know I LOVE LOVE LOVE TRUVIA and have cooked and baked with it for several years and it's the only sweetener I've used in at least 1-2 years.
Well for writing my blog they picked me as one of a handful of winners to receive a Truvia Prize Pack.
What a nice surprise. This prizepack included the following:
A V-neck Black Cotton Truvia Logo T-shirt in my size (When I won Influenster was kind enough to ask my size so I'd be sure to receive the correct size..How amazing is that?)
I also received a Truvia Logo Ball Cap, a USB Flash Drive w/ the Truvia Logo, a small box of Truvia (10 ct ) along w/ a coupon to go and get a free box of Truvia 40 ct., a sheet of recipe cards (who can't use more recipes? I know I can't..need as many as I can muster up), a small tin of Chocolate Velamints (must admit I felt like a star receiving this gift box), and a Sample of Crystal Lite Pure Grape Flavor Drink Mix (gotta admit I used that up almost instantly after snapping these pics).
Well here's the pics both in and out of the box..feel free to tell me what you think?
Again this was received from me at no charge as being a part of the Influenster.com group as an Influenster. I'm a trendsetter and I receive VoxBoxes to review for my honest opinions. If you're a trendsetter who influences those in your life, friends ,family and your social media, feel free to apply at Influenster.com and click the join button.

Good Luck to one and all!:)
Well My Mom VoxBox from Influenster arrived the other day! I was totally impressed (no pun intended).
Inside the box were the following:
A Single Bar of Ivory Soap.. Ivory Bar Soap is 99.44% Pure so it's clean and gentle and yes it even floats!
DenTek Comfort Clean and Fun Flosser Samples (on the back of the package was a coupon for $1 off too)
A Box of Stash Tea Superfruit Tea Sampler . It's a great box of tea flavors.
2 Samples of Nektar Sweetener (never tried this sweetener...can't wait to try it)
A Quaker Oats Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookie! (My son the "Cookie Monster" got a hold of it and ate it.. no worries, I was able to get him to give me a bite as a taste test!)
A Package of Impress Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails in a Deep Mauve..Perfect from going from daytime to nighttime..see the picture.
and as a bonus....
I also received The Original Dish Drying Mat. It's a super-absorbant microfiber mat that will protect your counters and dishes . Even Stemware and Delicate Dishes are protected. I'll have to give this is little test and report back here.
Ok so there you have it. I got my MomVoxBox from Influenster in exchange for reporting on my findings honestly. Influenster does NOT influense my opinions on any products I review on my blog.

"Kiss Nail Dress" the Best Stick on Nails Money Can buy.
I tried my Kiss Nail Dress stick on Fashion Nails that I received complementary in my Influenster.com Voxbox as part of their Voxbox program for trendsetters such as myself. In exchange I agreed to review them here on my blog and on their website Influenster.com.
These are soooo cute. I received the leopard print which is totally adorable. I applied these the day I received them. And they really were very easy to apply. They lasted 9 days which really surprised me as most of my nail stickers lasted about 3-4 days.
One thing I will add these stickers in the box that are included are NOT just for your fingers but ALSO your TOES as well. Now you can have matching finger and Toe Nails in a wonderful Kiss Nail Dress Stick-On. Easy to apply. They say they have a built-in Top Coat which is true but I've found by adding an EXTRA layer of protection top coat that they'll last a bit longer.
According to Influenster.com's Product page "Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep black with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in." But again if you want them to last a bit longer add a clear top coat.
These can be found at Walmart, CVS and Walgreens for about $6.99 per package .
As for your toes there ae 28 ashion strips in here just use the square side of the sticker for a perfect fit every time.
Another great thing.. These do come off in seconds WITHOUT NAIL POLISH REMOVER!
These were so awesome that I included this product in my Easter Baskets that I gave to my Mom and Mother In Law Yesterday for Easter. Of course I bought the Jaguar Pattern #KDS11 56709 as we live in the Jacksonville, FL Metro Area and as such we're "ALL IN" for the JACKSONVILLE JAGUAR FOOTBALL TEAM. Figure we can all go to the game in matching nails and toenails!
These were very easy to apply. Only two things I'll add. #1- Make sure your nails are totally clean before applying and #2- add a top coat to make them last a bit longer. Adding a top coat really made them last so much longer.
Other then that these are fantastic and come in a huge array of patterns that are easy and fun to use. It's almost as if Nail polishes/strips are the new lipstick. :) They come in assorted paterns and colors, they're easy to apply and best of all? NO DRYING TIME! Just put on and go.. That is unless like me you decide to put on a top coat. I just went out and also bought a pink zebra print. YES these are THAT CUTE!!! Best of all they come in 14 different sizes so that you can pick the size that's just right for your nails. Before finding the Kiss Nail Dress stick on nails , I was using the Sally Hansen Nails and then I was using the Broadway Nails. Between the Broadway Nails which I originally learned of through my #HolidayVoxBox through the Influenster Program at Influenster.com (and also got to try complimentary), And the Kiss Nail Dress Nails both from the same company I might add, I really do prefer the Kiss Nail Dress. The reason? They come in 14 assorted sizes so you don't have to trim to make these fit.
I've found these at my local CVS for $8 per pack and they're also available at my local Walmart Though prices can vary by store. I also found them at Walgreens for $6.99 per package and online at Amazon.com for $7.00 per pack. The Broadway Impress Nail kits I've found on amazon for $13.50 but that's for a 2pack so if you divide by 2 then each pack is $6.50 a bit less then these Kiss Nail Dress kits. However in my honest opinion the Kiss Nail Dress Stick on Nails do give you 14 different sizes and not just a one size fits all. I really LOVE both and I do keep my nails short so I'll be using both of these. Also The Kiss Nail Dress Stick On Nails can be used for BOTH TOES AND FINGERS! The Broadway nails can't.
If you need more information feel free to visit their website at:

It's where you will find a direct link right to the Kiss Nail Dress page.
Hope you enjoyed this review. If you try them feel free to put your review under comments on this page.

‘“Venus & Olay Razor"
I just tried the Venus & Olay Razor last night and OH MY LORD has it left my legs SILKY SMOOTH! It's by far the BEST razor I've tried by Venus or any other company.No need to use any shaving gel or cream. Just put the razor together and shave. IT hydrates and moisturizes your shaved areas to ensure it's silky smooth. Prior to this razor I was using A Venus Proskin Razor that I received in my #holidayvoxbox from the Influenster Holiday Vox Box Program . I receive these boxes complementary in exchange for my honest opinions and reviews on this blog as well as on their own review pages on Influenster.com. First of all I thought I found my IDEAL RAZOR with the Venus Proskin as it has the moisturizing strips just like the Venus & Olay razor and it got my skin smooth just like the Venus Pro Skin Razor. But BOY WAS I WRONG! The Venus & Olay razor has this beat by miles! First of all the Venus & Olay Razor , also by Gillette "helps replenish your skin's moisture" which the Venus Proskin Razor did not. Also Gillette's Venus & Olay razor has 5 BLADES! the Proskin has 4 which makes for a much closer shave. I will also add That this razor does have a FANTASTIC MONEY BACK Guarantee.. LOVE IT OR 2X YOUR MONEY BACK!
The Gillette Venus & Olay razor is also very easy to use ... Just wet the razor in order to active the Olay built-in Moisture Bars located on top and bottom of the 5 blade cartridges. After use just simply hand in your shower w/ the suction cup holder that comes with the razor.
I have found the Razor set on amazon.com for $10.22 (free ship w/ Amazon Prime or a $25 purchase with standard shipping) but they do not have the replacement cartridges as of yet. I also Found the Razor at Target for $10.99 and a 3 pack refill kit for $14.99. This is slightly higher then other Venus Razors and Refills (and most of the other refills come in a 4 pack). However, Being this is a 5 blade razor and not a 3 or 4 blade razor and also has the Olay Moisturizing bars on both the top and bottom of the razor, the price difference does justify itself. I went on Saturday evening and bought 3 packs of refills and 2 extra razors. Since Sunday April 8th was Easter Sunday I gave a Razor and a 3 pack set to my mom and one set to my mother in law as part of their Easter Basket (I also included some Kiss Dress Nails Nails in KDS11 the Jaguar Pattern. The reason being that here in the Jacksonville FL Metro Area we all are Jacksonville Jaguar Fans and what better way to go to rallys and the Tailgating and games then to sport these neat nails.
Anyway, back to the Gillette Venus and Olay Razor. This razor is so amazing.
Yesterday at Sunrise Sunday Easter Service on the beach I got a lot of compliments on my wonderful legs. I told at least 25 people just at that service that they too can have these wonderfully smooth and satiny legs just by using the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor. I explained just how easy it is to use.. No more Gels or shaving creams (saves you money and time) , just activate by wetting the razor blade the moisturizing strips and then shave away. I explained it's the best razor not just by having the Olay Moisturizing strips but also that it gives you a MUCH CLOSER SHAVE by having 5 blades instead of 3 or 4. I also told everyone that this REHYDRATES your legs as well as your underarms or anywhere else you shave , and it leaves your legs , as well as underarms or bikini area (and yes here in NE Florida we're getting into bikini weather finally!:) ) , ultra smooth and looking so satiny and silky. I for one was totally impressed. I also told everyone at the Sunday Sunrise Service that I did receive this complementary to test through Influenster's VoxBox Program.
Again here are the reasons to purchase the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor as defined by the Product page on Influenster.com
"•Venus’ five-bladed razors shave you close and adjust to women’s curves for a smooth and comfortable shave, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles.
•Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.
•As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environment"
Again you'll be able to buy them for A refillable Venus & Olay with one replacement cartridge sells for approximately $8.99-$10.99. Packages of three replacement cartridges are available for about $14.99 - $19.49.
I've found them so far at Walgreens, and Target. Please keep in mind that they might not be everywhere yet as this product was only released back on March 15th 2012. I've gone to Walmart and there's peghooks for it but either its been sold out or they haven't gotten it in stock as of yet.
I received this as part of Influenster.com's Voxbox Program. I'm a part of the Influenster.com community the best trendsetting community. I get to try new products complementary via a Voxbox in exchange for my honest opinions and reviews both on their website Influenster.com and on my blog here.
I totally suggest trying the Venus & Olay Razor by Gillette. If you need more information please feel free to go to their website at:
www.gillettevenus.com
Hope you will try this razor and post your own reviews here on my blog.
Thanks for reading.

Truvía® natural sweetener Product Review
I love the Truvia Natural Sweetner. I've been using this for months and was pleaantly surprised when I received it in my Influenster.com Love Voxbox. I'm highly familiar with this product and it's the only sweetner we use in our home.
Truvía® natural sweetener is the first natural, great-tasting, zero-calorie sweetener born from the leaves of the stevia plant.
It comes in Truvía® natural sweetener is available nationally at most major retailers and in package sizes of 40-count, 80-count, 140-count and a spoonable jar. I only wish like Splenda it came in a bigger bag. I buy the Spoonable jars for baking. In fact I made a Sunflower cake and substituted sugar w/the Truvia and nobody could tell the difference. I just cut it in 1/2 . As One packet of Truvía® natural sweetener provides the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar. So Instead of 1 cup of Sugar I used 1/2 Cup of Truvia. Everyone loved the Easter Sunflower cake and so I came clean and told them I used Truvia instead of Sugar. Everyone was impressed. We had a group of 30 people over at my mom's for Easter Sunday Dinner.
What's also great about Truvia is it's sooo versitile. You can add it to your coffee or tea, to oatmeal, to fruits , bake with it, or sprinkle on cold cereal as well. It's that uncomplicated.
This product is also a FANTASTIC ALTERNATIVE for those suffering w/ DIABETES. And it's also Certified Kosher. So if you have friend who are Kosher be sure to let them know about this wonderful alternative to Sugar.
Like I said I've been using this product for several months after receiving a sample on their Facebook Page and I've been hooked ever since. So when I received a box with a $.75 off coupon of Truvia in my Love VoxBox to try complementary as part of the Influenste VoxBox program I was in 7th Heaven. This is one product I've been Promoting for months and will continue to promote. YES IT IS THAT GOOD. Tastes JUST LIKE SUGAR! But it's a lot healthier.
I've totally replaced sugar with Truvia Natural Sweetner.I bake with it, use it in both my hot and cold drinks, on my oatmeal cereal , etc.
It tastes better then sugar w/ out the calories.
It's utterly fantastic. If you haven't used it you really should try it. It doesn't have all the calories of sugar or all the additives of other sweetners on the market. It even cooks like sugar and is 1/2 equal substitute. EX: If a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar I use 1/2 cup of Truvia Natural Sweetner. It's that simple to replace.
This can be found at just about all supermarkets (Such as Winn-Dixie and Publix in the Florida Area where we live), Whole Foods, CVS, Walgreens, Target and Walmart.And they come in again the 40 Count, 80 count and 140 packages and a small spoonable jar. But keep in mind a little goes a long long way. My only thing is (and I've emailed the company on this) I truly wish that they made a big bag of Truvia for baking so I don't have to use 2-3 jars to make a few cakes (When I bake I tend to make 2-4 at a time), as tha can get a bit expensive.
If you need more information you can always go to www.truvia.com
Again I received a sample box of Truvia in my Love VoxBox complementary from Influenster.com a trendsetting community in exchange for my honest opinion and review both on the Influenster.com website and on my blog here.
Hope you enjoyed this review.
Again if you haven't tried Truvia you really should. You'll be glad you did.

Easy to use too), A Fantastic Gillette Venus and Olay Razor, a sampler box of Stash-Tea w/ 9 different varieties (I especially love the Blueberry superfruit and the acai berry teas so far), and a small box of Truvia Sweetner.

THE LOVE VOXBOX from INFLUENSTER IS ON ITS WAY!:)
Well I was selected to receive a Love Voxbox from Influenster.com and I'm sooo greatful to receive one of these coveted boxes. I've no idea as to what's inside the box but I'm sure whatever it is will be great. I'll post what was inside on this blog once received which should be by week's end.
will also post on my Facebook page Jaime Frolos-Sylva. If you want feel free to Like me so you can keep up and in touch with me.

INFLUENSTER LOVE VOX BOX RECIPIENTS TO BE ANNOUNCED TODAY !
As most of you know by now, I'm a member of the best trendsetting group on the internet called Influenster. As a member of Influenster I get to try new products complementary in exchange for my honest reviews, opinions and blog posts and video reviews. I've met some fantastic women as part of being an Influenster.
Keep in mind this is NOT a freebie site. This is a site for trendsetters that have proven to be able to influence others into trying new products and help Brands to be promoted.
About a month ago it was announced that Influenster was going to announce the recipients of a LOVEVOXBOX. A VOXBOX is a box filled with complementary products that we get if selected in exchange for trying them, filling out a survey and giving honest reviews and feedback. This is a MUCH ANTICIPATED Voxbox.
Last night was the Twitter Party where clues were given out as to what will be inside. Right now it's anyone's guess. But if I was a betting woman (Which by the way I am NOT..LOL) , I'd have seen that something sweet to share that I might not want to share would be something along the line of candy or in particular Chocolates. Something warm and fuzzy that you two can share in flavors of apple, and mango seem maybe to me to be maybe a Tea or Brandy. And something naturally sweet to put into it might be either something along the lines of Sugar in the Raw or Honey (for my honey:) ).An accessory that glitters as far as beauty is concerned was basically another hint..I'm figuring maybe either a Glitter Nailpolish, a nice glittery lipshine from NYC or one of my favorite items from the HolidayVOXBOX the ImPress Press-On Manicure nails in some sort of glitter color. And something to make you feel smooth and silky I was thinking a razor or lotion. Right now it's anyone's guess as NOBODY but Influenster.com knows what really is in this box.
The Suspense is tremendous. And while the Influenster Twitter Party was only an hour and by all accounts a HUGE Success , personally I could've gone on for hours. And most of the Influensters I know pretty much felt the same way.
This evening will be the announcement as to whom might be getting a covetted LoveVoxBox. I am praying to be one of them so I can report all the excitement to you as to what's inside. I'm sure it will be fantastic.
So............Let's Pray this lady gets one. I'm hoping to get one and then will buy several items out of pocket that I like to give away to my followers. All you have to do is follow my blog and enjoy.
Chat to you later today or tomorrow to see if I was selected. I'm hoping to be but one never knows. Good Luck to all my Influenster.com friends out there as well.
Blessings,
Jaime

BIC FOR HER Ball Point Pens
Have you tried Bic For Her Ball Point Pens yet? If not I highly recommend them. They write incredibly smooth.
I received two sets of these wonderful pens in a Crave box I ordered from SheSpeaks.com
I really love the smoothness and the way they write.
They're also quite lovely to look at.
I received two pens w/ black ink and two pens that had a purple ink and a pink ink. All wrote wonderfully well.
I also love how easy it is to hold and it is very comfortable in my hand.
On a scale of 1-5 (5 being fantastic and 1 being poor) I'd rate this product a definite 5++!
Try these pens and I guarantee these will be your "go to, carry everywhere" pens. Just be sure to keep track as others might want to pilfer them! LOL!
