“Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics”

I received the Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics through the Influenster Sun Vox Box for free for testing and review purposes.

These little elastic ribbons are so cute.  They come in many colors and are very affordable! (Goody Web Site)  They are a perfect way to add a little flare to your braid or pony tail or really any hairstyle.

They are adjustable and can be retied however loose or tight you want them to be.  When they're not in your hair they look good around your wrist, it looks more like a bracelet than a hair tie.

I used mine in braids, buns, low pony tails, high pony tails, and when I wore my hat.  They do very well in the braids and low pony tails, but I have very thick hair and after an hour or so it would start to slip out and I was adjusting it all day, same happened when I wore my hat.

I still love these little ties and so when I wear a high pony tail or my hat, I use a stronger holder and put this tie on top.  

Overall, I am satisfied with the product and would buy it again.  Thanks Influenster and Goody!

Free Stuff For The Month Of April

I hope everyone's having a good week so far.  I'm a couple days late posting this so sorry about that.  As promised here is a list of things I won or got free in April (and a few things from March) and pictures of a few of the items.  I'll also give you a link if the item is still available or if the game is still running.  I know a lot of you think 'People never win those things.' because I was one of those people but let me tell you, I may not have won anything huge but the little things I have won add up.  :)

1.  A Set of M&M Earphones (M&M Instant Win Game)
(This win was from March)

This is the message I received when I won.
(Sorry it's sideways, I couldn't get it to flip.)

This is the earphones I received
about 6-8 weeks later.  My 8 year
old loves them!

2. A Pack of Trolli Evil Twins Candy (Trolli Gummi Candi Instant Win Game)

This is the message I received when I won.

I received the candy less than 2 weeks
later!

I've won 2 of these.

This is mailed to you in the form of a coupon.
I've received 2 coupons and have 2 more on

I haven't received the card yet.

This game ended last week.

This doesn't say how much it's for
and I'm still waiting to receive it.

I've won this just about every time I've played. It's a coupon you print out and bring to the store.

16.  Silly Things From The Honda Game  (Honda Win Big or Small Instant Win Game)

This game is for fun more than anything.  You win silly things like a jpeg of a spit out sunflower seed or of chewed up bubble gum.   There are real prizes on the wheel, I just haven't managed to land on any yet.

17.  Free Eye Pencil From Allure (Allure Free Samples)
This is a contest I entered in March but didn't realize I won until I got it in the mail.  They are doing something similar right now.  Just follow the link above.  It starts right at noon so be sure you're one of the first there.  I think tomorrow is the last day.

You can follow him on Facebook HERE or if you're not a Facebook user go straight to his website HERE.  His Facebook page has people daily on there talking about their freebies and items they've won.  It's a wonderful community of people and everyone is so nice.  If you give it a try, you won't regret it!

Late as usual

This is just a quick note to say I haven't forgotten about posting my list of free stuff but it turned out a bit bigger than I'd intended so I've run out of time today (gotta go do my mommy things) but I will have it up tomorrow!

What is Influenster? And What Did I Receive From Them?

Hey, all!  Hope everyone is having a great Friday!  I've had a pretty good freebies week.  I've gotten several things in the mail but this post I want to tell about a freebie I got from Influenster.

What is Influenster you ask?  Well here is a quote from their site: (or click this LINK for more information)

"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)."  

If you're interested you can apply and be accepted to join their site or be invited by a friend.  I have 4 invites available.  The first 4 people who comment on this I will send you an invite.  I will need your email address to send the invite to.

I'm fairly new to Influenster and this is my first product box (what they call a VoxBox).  Once you receive your box, you test the item and then give them an honest review on their site.  There are also certain tasks (challenges) you can perform, such as writing this blog article about the item, posting about it on Facebook, and Twitter that put you in the running to win extra free stuff.  It is my understanding that these tasks are not mandatory just extra to win something extra.    

Now on to the product.  Ivory 2-in-1 Hair Body Wash.  All in all I really liked this.  It's about $3.50 at Wal-mart or Target and in the long run will save you money from only having to buy 1 product instead of 2.  I loved the smell and how it made my skin feel but I wasn't crazy about the way it did my hair.  My hair felt stiff and was incredibly tangled.  It felt like I'd washed my hair with soap.

My husband on the other hand loved it for his body and hair.  He said he doesn't want to use anything else now.   So, I'm thinking this will be better for men than women but that's just my opinion.  It's a great product and I give it a B rating.

For more information about this and other Ivory products, please follow the links below.

I'll try to post later today, if not today then Monday, about the freebies I received and the instant games I've won.   I should have time by then to take some pictures so I can post them too.

But before I go, I wanted to give you the website where I find the majority of my free stuff.  It's run by a very nice young man who works very hard to verify that all the freebies are indeed free and not a scam.  He does a wonderful job!  You can follow him on Facebook HERE or if you're not a Facebook user go straight to his website HERE.  His Facebook page has people daily on there telling about their freebies and items they've won.  It's a wonderful community of people and everyone is so nice.  If you give it a try, you won't regret it!  Until next time!

Free Stuff!

I’ve started this blog to post about the free items I’ve started to receive and where I get them from.  I figured I’d share the wealth with as many people as possible.  So what better place to do it than a blog, that is if I can figure out how to use this.     Anyway, I’ll be posting more next week, I have to get myself together first!  Here’s to more freebies!
