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.
