The #GoVoxBox from Influenster is here!

The #GoVoxBox has arrived and I absolutely cannot wait to unbox all of these products out and start reviewing :) I have been putting a greater focus on fitness in the last couple months and all of these products fit my lifestyle perfectly.

The first product I tried out was the Blue Diamond Blueberry Almonds, and they were delicious! They were devoured minutes after I unboxed everything because my kids swarmed me. They all thought they were candy and I have to agree, but unlike candy they actually have nutritional value :)

We really like food in my house so I always redeemed the Mueller yogurt coupon shortly after the box arrived. I go through a ton of yogurt; my boys love it and I think Greek yogurt makes an easy, delicious lunch for myself. I redeemed it for a corner yogurt that had caramelized almonds. It was by far the CREAMIEST Greek yogurt I have tried to date. I shared with my husband, who is not a fan of yogurt, and he even loved it. Early this week he asked where the rest of them were, so it looks like I will be picking up more Mueller yogurt the next time I grocery shop.

I was very excited to see Vitamin Shoppe #NextStep protein shakes in swiss chocolate, mixed berry, and vanilla as well as the Jaxx cup. I tried the chocolate first and it was the first protein shake I could even swallow. I am not a big fan of supplements but have been skipping lunch so often lately I have been looking into meal replacement shakes. I was not a huge fan of the mixed berry, it was just too artificial tasting, but plan to purchase more chocolate shake mix. It did help satisfy me for several hours until my next meal, and even powered me through some cardio training.

My Playtex Sport tampons were also wonderful for that cardio session and as you can see in my other review, I highly recommend them for anyone remotely active so they can #PlayOn every week of the month.

 I received two products by ProFoot, a pair of insoles and a pedi-rock. I do not use insoles frequently so it is hard for me to say how they compare to other insoles on the market but I do know Wal-Mart has them for an amazing price! As far as the pedi-rock goes, I love it! You can use it both wet and dry so that is a plus. It is also squishy, contoured perfectly and just all around the perfect pedi-rock to get your feet ready for summer fun :)

Last, but not least the Aqua Spa Relax lavendar bath salts. My husband actually tried these out before I had a chance and he loved them. It really helped calm his nerves after a tough 24 hour shift. I used them as a foot soak; the scent was very relaxing and my feet felt much softer. My only issue is that I have very sensitive skin so any scented product is potentially troublesome for me. As a foot soak, however, I did not experience any irritation. 

Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Review

I recently received the #GoVoxBox from Influenster and had the chance to try out Playtex Sport Fresh Balance regular absorbency tampons for reviewing purposes. These are some awesome tampons! Tampons can often be uncomfortable, especially if you are an active person, but these are not. As a mom to 4 boys 5 and under I spend all day every day moving, and I have been putting a lot of focus on fitness recently. I never felt any discomfort with the regular absorbency. I would suggest if you are very active person to upgrade absorbency on heavy days, as I experienced some small leaking during strenuous activity.

Newborn Fluff!

Five months ago we embarked on the cloth diapering adventure with our 3 boys in hopes we could get it all figured out before number 4's arrival in December. 

Well, they need to come with a warning label because I am now addicted. After contemplation on whether we should just build our OS stash and wait for number 4 to grow into them or get some newborn diapers I came to the decision I cannot resist those adorable tiny fluffy things. 

Last week was full of nonstop fluff mail and now the diapers are all officially prepped and of course photographed. We added in tons of OS diapers but I felt I only needed to take a photo of the newbie cloth :) 

I plan to review these as we use them, but for now I need to just share the cuteness and hey it kind of gives a size comparison. 

How adorable are those?! I know it is a pretty small stash but I could not justify buying tons of diapers that would only last the first few weeks and we will probably add some more in as we figure out what we like. 

Top Row: Softbums Echo and Omni shells (OS,birth-35lbs), Sloomb Happy Little Cloud fitted sz small (up to 16lbs), and extras of the mini stay dry pods for the Softbums in hopes that we will be able to use the shells more than once

Next Row: Blueberry Newborn Simplex (up to 16lbs), Tots Bots Tiny Fit (up to 14lbs), Bumgenius Newborn AIO (up to 12lbs), and The Little Bee Co. Bitty Bee Changed Microfleece Newborn AIO (up to 12lbs)

Next Row: All Grovia Newborn AIOs "old style" (up to 12lbs)

Front Row: All Rumparooz Little Joeys (up to 12lbs)

I was really shocked by how small the Softbums were able to be sized down and will be adding those we already had for our bigger boys to the newborn stash for the time being. I think we will be investing in more of those since they are OS and last up to 35lbs. The price tag on the Softbums and Sloomb were the highest but they also have a much wider size range and therefore will hopefully be well worth it. 

The BG newborn diaper was the cheapest of these and it also seems to be the trimmest and as much as I love BG, the lowest quality of all the newborn diapers. Of course, I cannot judge quality until we have a baby to try it out on and since newborn diapers are not used long it should be just fine. 

I cannot wait to get these on his little bum and see how adorable a newbie is in fluff! 

Not Your Mother's "She's a Tease" Volumizing Hairspray

You MUST try out Not Your Mother's Hair Products...check out their website here http://www.nymbrands.com/.
I received their "She's a Tease" Volumizing Hairspray via Influenster, which was perfect because I have some of the thinnest, flat hair ever!
I just sprayed a little at the roots before going out, and looked like I actually had some body and style to my hair the rest of evening.
In Love :)

My New Favorite Snack Bar - SkinnyGirl Daily "On the Go Bar"

I received this product from Influenster and gobbled it up as soon as I opened my SweetHeart VoxBox 2013! It was beyond delicious, I received a Blue Berry and Greek Yogurt bar and it satisfied my indulgent side, as well as my healthy side. I was excited to see they were Gluten-Free as well b/c my son and I are on a GF diet and it can be really hard to find delicious snacks like these!

I highly recommend trying out SkinnyGirl Daily "On the Go Bars" and I know I will be trying out any other products I find by them, because I was very impressed :)

Why does everyone make GF out to be so bad?

            Today has been a pretty normal day, except for my husband being home sick which made it 100x easier. Rayden had OT and Speech, but since daddy was home we got to mix it up a little and go alone. It was so nice not to struggle with my younger 2 (not that I don't love there company) for the 2 hour wait. Rayden and I stuck to our guns with our diet but daddy was craving chocolate so we tried out our Bob's Red Mill Brownie Mix GF and it was delicious! I was shocked by their soft gooey texture; couldn't even tell they were not made with wheat flour :) So far we have loved all of our gluten free mixes and recipes, I guess some people just have trouble finding the good stuff because I have always heard how hard the diet is.

           We have been working on potty training, with trips to the bathroom every 15 minutes and let me tell you it is exhausting! Rayden always fights us the first few times and will sit in the bathroom screaming or throwing things for about 10 minutes but the rest of the day he acts excited. He is such a goofball, until today he would often have wet underwear before making in there but today he has gone over an hour dry and is going in without a timer! I am so glad we have a genius ABA therapist teaching us then ins and outs and that my hubs was willing to help out so we could stick to our guns. 

        Well little Cameron is climbing on me and little Liam is staring at me smiling, so I think it is time I avert my attention to these little princes.
