Playtex Sport Fresh Balance – The tampons are designed to offer you the comfort and protection to take on whatever activity your day brings, with an added fresh scent to mask away any possible odors.
I really liked these tampons, the packaging was appealing and youthful and the applicator was comfortable and easy to use. Although I felt that the tampons provided sufficient coverage, I was a little worried about the connected string as I thought it was a little flimsy looking. Nonetheless, this could have due to the fact that the package I received was for light days so I still recommend this product.



Vitamin Shoppe Next Step Fit N Full Protein Shake – These shakes come in three flavors: Swiss chocolate, vanilla and Fresh berries. They are meant to be nutritious meal replacement drinks that, in conjunction with other Vitamin Shoppe Next Step products, are designed to help you reach your weight management goals.
I am used to meal replacement shakes and use them quite often so this was a product that I really wanted to like. I was disappointed, however, with their lack of taste; although I wasn’t expecting something super delicious I thought it would at least taste good enough to not remind me of what I could have been eating instead. Another thing is that I didn’t feel any of them kept me feeling full longer than an hour, if that. I would definitely try the program as a whole and even purchase the shakes for the right price because this is exactly what I wanted but I have found, so far, that there is no regimen to follow (I need a guide on how and when to use these products) and I have found similar products that are cheaper and richer in taste. The blender bottle, however, it something I absolutely love and continue to use, with my other shakes.



Blue Diamond Blueberry Flavored Almonds – These are covered almonds in different flavors, the ones I received from Influenster were blueberry.
 These were little bits of heaven (this is coming from someone who isn’t particularly find of blueberries), they were delicious, nutritious and just the right size to make a good snack. Nothing more to say except that I am going to buy more as I’m sure I will love them all. 




Profoot Triad Orthodic AND Profoot Pedi Rock – The first is a three-quarter orthotic insole that provides relief for the common back, leg and foot pains. The second is a pumice rock to smooth out calluses on your feet.
I was pleased with both products and even more so their prices. For less than $10 each, both the insoles and the rock worked wonders on my feet. The insoles got me through more than one shopping spree (think 6 hours in the mall) without my usual hip, knee and lower back ailments. I use the pedi rock almost daily because my feet can get dry; my feet have never been smoother. My only complaints, if any, is that the insoles cannot be worn with heels and the rock can be a little difficult to handle (think an ergonomic mouse that you have to grip just right to maneuver).



Aqua Spa Bath Salts – These bath salts are designed to add a relaxing lavender scent and bubbles to your bath, all the while relaxing your muscles and smoothing your skin.
I am not much of a bath-taking person (I take a shower to get in and out) but just last week I was dead tired so my boyfriend drew me a bath to relax. I don’t know if it was the candlelight room, my Netflix guilty pleasure playing on my phone or the warm water but I felt great and relaxed. The bubbles were few and the disappeared quickly but I did feel my skin softer and I was definitely less tense. I’m not sure when I will get this lucky to have an at-home spa day but if that’s the sort of thing you’re into, then this might be the product for you. TIP: use it as a foot soak with warm water to soften your feet before using a pumice rock.



Muller Yogurts – This is a Quaker brand line of Greek yogurt products. The products I tested were the Corner yogurts that are plain Greek yogurt on one side of the container and a topping on the other corner, hence the name.
It took me a while to find a place that sold these but when I did I was fortunate enough to find them on sale. The yogurt I purchased with my voucher was the Corner yogurt with caramelized almonds. Although I am not a fan of Greek yogurt, I really enjoyed this one. I liked that it was a healthier snack with just enough sweetness to it that it felt more like dessert. Since then, I have tried other variations like Corner yogurt with berries, granola and chocolate rice puffs… all delicious and nutritious!
