Can we talk pads?

Last month Influenster sent me a Goddess Voxbox that contained Always radiant pads with flex foam to try. I have used Always radiant pads before. I am a fan of the line and decided to tell you my thoughts on them.

I love how colorful the pad liners look when you open the box. Isn't it pretty?!?

Seriously is that not a cute package liner? Let's face it when it's that time of month, I need something cheerful. Heavy flow and massive cramps does not make me a happy camper. :)

I have found the Always radiant line to not be bulky pads. But don't let that fool you. These pads can hold a lot. *TMI alert* I am an extremely heavy flow kind of gal. Sometimes it looks like a crime scene. Yes. That bad. I have found the Always pads able to handle me.

They do come with wings. They are also scented. It is a very light scent.
Now my thoughts about them. Always pads really do work on keeping me leak proof. I try not to go more than 5 hours overnight with the same pad so I can't say if you can go longer than that. The sample I was sent were the regular size. I wish they were a bit longer. I usually go with heavy or overnighter pads for the length. I can't use regular during the first half of my period. The other thing I would change would be making them scent free. I'm not a fan of scented hygiene products but that's just me. Overall, I did like the Always radiant pads and would purchase them.

Overall grade: B

Influenster Goddess Voxbox

Last month I was lucky to recieve a Goddess Voxbox from Influenster. I had no clue I was in the running for one until I recieved an email from Influenster saying it was on the way. When the box arrived I did not know what goodies it contained. I didn't watch any spoiler videos because I love to be surprised on what the box has in it. Sometimes it does vary on items per Influenster. Ready for a look?!?!

It honestly contained products I would have picked out for myself. Some of the products I have used before and a few I have not. The first thing I noticed were the Downy fresh protect. I have used unstoppables before so I'm not sure what the difference is between the two. I am excited to give these a try. I love love fresh smelling laundry. I mean who doesn't? Right?

The next thing was Cutex nail polish remover pads. I have tried other brands before but have not worked out for me. (I was able to try these before I post this and let's just say, they work wonders! One pad removed polish off all my nails. Woo Hoo!)

Pantene Expert was my shampoo and conditioner that I received. I have used this product line before. Those who know me, know I have used Pantene products back in high school. And that's a mighty long time! :)

I also received Always Radiant pads with Flex Foam. This is another brand I have previously used before. There will be a review on this later.

The next product I got was Dickinson witch hazel toner. Which was alcohol free!  I have never used this before and was curious to try it. I have found most toners dry or burn my skin. This one did not! I will be buying this one when I run out.

One of my favorite things I got was a SinfulColors nail polish. It was a porcelain matte in the shade Glazy Sunday. I'm not much of a matte kind of gal but I did like this one. The shade was a light purple/pink hue. I was impressed it lasted a few days before chipping.

The last thing in my box was a code for Ebates. Ebates is where you can shop online and earn cash back. I was already signed up for ebates before recieving this box. If anyone is interested in Ebates I will leave my referral code below. Ebates link~ http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=Z8grJ7Alm2WaxwN2ZVeG4g%3D%3D&eeid=28187

Enough...

Dear cold/allergies/sinus infection,
You have invaded our home for the last two weeks. Some days the migraines you have brought have made us unable to function. Lasting for days and days. It is now time for you to visit others. Please leave. Nuff said....

Signed one tired Mom........

Wordless Wednesday

 

Some gave all.......

Happy Veterans Day to our millions of military personal. Past and present. The sacrifices that you make as well as the family you leave behind, are ones us civilians will never fully comprehend. There are not enough words to thank you. You deserve more than you sometimes receive.

I pray where ever you go today that you are treated like the Hero you deserve to be treated as.

Thank You!

Batteries.....

I think as Moms we forget to take the time out to do something fun just for us. It doesn't have to be anything grand. It could just be enjoying a cup of coffee by yourself or with friends. Or maybe just getting your nails done. A small activity to recharge your batteries. Yesterday I had a rare chance to hang out with some great friends. Our county was sponsoring a tour of local shops in the area to visit. The shops would offer special deals and sometimes games to play. Snacks and beverages completed the tour. While we girls all had a rare opportunity to get out,our locals shops got our business. Win. Win. To me the best part of the tour was checking out new places many of which I have never heard about. We all spent the day laughing and talking about making this an annual event. Although the tour was designed to help local businesses it was us it helped more.

Reconnect. Recharge.

Flashback Friday

What was your favorite thing about the 80's?
Mine would have to be the movies. Plain and simple. Some of the best movies came out in the 80's. Ok. Maybe just in my mind. But seriously. Star Wars Return of the Jedi. ET. The Goonies. The Adventures in Babysitting. Dirty Dancing. The Outsiders. Many John Hughes's films. A man who defined 80's films from Uncle Buck to The Breakfast Club. I'm honestly not a fan of many movies today between the plots and violence. Blah! Horrible.

So tell me your favorite thing.........
