Reese's Spread Vox Box

Can we say YUMMO!!!! Again thanks to Influesnter I received a jar of Reese's Spread for free to test out. I was excited to get the news that I got this Vox Box since it had been a few months since my last one.

My daughter sure was happy to be able to try this out with me as you can tell!


We first gave it a try with apples and bananas, it's AMAZING! It's not a creamy spread at all, it has the consistency of the peanut butter used in the candy. So it has a little crunch to it, because of this it's not really easy to spread on the fruit but hey a little mess never hurt anyone LOL

After we used it for snack purposes I finally made the choice to use it in muffins after visiting their site for ideas.

Chocolate Banana Muffins  is what I made and they are yummy! The only thing I would change is for the topping I would use brown sugar instead of regular sugar. As you can see in the picture my streusel never browned, it still tasted good but it did not brown at all. I also like more of a banana flavor to my muffins so if you are like me I suggest adding more banana.


In the end my family was very happy with this jar of Reese's Spread. I will leave you guys with a picture of my daughter enjoying her muffin this morning. 


Aussie Vox Box




I have been slacking big time! Finally the Holiday's are over and with the new year I can get back to blogging again!

A few months back I received from Influenster the Aussie Vox Box. I was excited to get this because I LOVE Aussie products. In the box as you can see I received 2 full size hair sprays to try for free. I got the Freeze hair spray and the Sprunch hair spray. 

The Freeze one I do not use daily, it's a really strong hold that I love to use when I have my hair pulled back or in a bun. It sure controls any loose hairs and makes for a smooth look.


The Sprunch hair spray smells great and it has a strong hold to it. It's more than what I like using since I normally use flexible hold when it comes to my curls. In the picture below you can tell how strong of a hold the hair spray has. I style my hair with flexible hold mouse and then sprayed the Sprunch hair spray over the curls. I used my hands to give it a tousled look and that's it. Once my hair dried this was the finished result. I'm not a fan of the feel of it. Like I stated above I like flexible holds since I can run my fingers through my curls. 


I kept using the Sprunch hair spray until I was done with it. I did not buy it, but I do buy the Aussie flexible hold hair spray and I still use the Freeze hair spray when my hair is pulled back.


Once again I was very happy with this Vox Box and with my Aussie products.

Kettle Brand




Today is all about the KETTLE BRAND! Look at this yummy goodness I was able to try thanks to BzzAgent! What's better than a snack made with non-GMO and preservative-free ingredients. No MSG, gluten and trans fat free!!! All that makes a pretty damn tasty snack. And if you are environmentally friendly  the Kettle Brand uses biodiesel, reclaimed water, solar and wind power to reduce waste and CO2 emissions. I had no idea but thanks to BzzAgent I found all this out!

Then look at all the awesome flavors they have!!! Siriracha popcorn heck yeah sign me up!




I was super excited when my free coupons came in the mail! I could not wait to visit my local Kroger and see what flavors I could find. Sadly when I went to Kroger they did not have many flavors. They keep these guys in the "health food" section and not a lot of display area for them. The popcorn was only available in White Cheddar. When I really wanted Siriracha flavor ones. And the Real Sliced Potatoes came in BBQ only. 



I picked up my two bags of goodies and took them home. My only complaint was that the bag of chips is so much smaller than the regular bag of Kettle chips. The chips were opened up the following day and inhaled by my daughter and her daddy. In one sitting they ate the entire bag of chips LOL I had a few chips and they are good, they did not leave a greasy feeling on my hands at all. Very crispy with a nice thick cut and full of flavor. The popcorn was opened up the next day by me, I'm the only popcorn eater in my house. It has a nice flavor to it that is not over powering at all...I'm still on the hunt for siriracha flavor popcorn so I hope my local Kroger will carry that flavor soon.

Kroger Community Rewards Program


I'm starting this off with a beautiful picture of my Alaskan Malamute Kenobi RIP He was an amazing dog and together we did so many things for Texas Alaskan Malamute Rescue. And even now after his passing we still can help little by little. Thanks to Kroger Community Rewards Program it's even easier! We can help them out just by doing our normal grocery shopping. #GotADiscount


You can see in this picture that the last quarter Kroger donated $11.42 from my shopping trips with them. I started late the last quarter since I had no idea TAMR was part of this. Once I heard I signed up right away and have been doing my part little by little. Thanks to BzzAgent and Kroger they are doing a big push to tell more people about the Community Rewards Program. I hope more people take a look and add a charity of their choice to their Kroger card. If you are looking or wanting to know more about TAMR please check them out!

TAMR

Make sure to enroll at KrogerCommunityRewards.com and start sharing the love! 


*** I just want to share that for the first time EVER BzzAgent has put one of my reviews at the top of the list! I wish I would of copied my post but I had no idea this would happen. I wrote about all the great things TAMR does and how every little bit counts. I'm excited that people will see this and want to know more about such a beautiful breed and such an amazing organization.

New VoxBox coming my way!!!

I few weeks ago I got an email from Influenster to participate in a survey to see if I qualify for a new VoxBox. I did my survey and today I got this email!!!


YEAH I'm getting the Aussie VoxBox and I'm super excited! I love Aussie and I am currently using Aussie products in my hair. From the email it says I am being sent 2 different hair sprays to try. This is a good thing since I'm running low on mine LOL I hope this box gets to me soon because I can't wait!

Charmin Plus The Scent of Chamomile


The last campaign I am currently in from BzzAgent is the Charmin one. This one I was very intrigued by since it was toilet paper with the scent of Chamomile. The scent is actually on the paper tube and not on the paper itself. When I received this box I thought it was neat to get a letter in Spanish! That was a first for me, none of my BzzKits have ever been in both English and Spanish. 


So my BzzKit came in and I had a package of free toilet paper and coupons to share. I was so excited just opening up the box I could smell that wonderful smell of  "Manzanilla" that's Spanish for chamomile. Chamomile always reminds me of being back home in Mexico. My grandmother always would give us chamomile tea for everything. That was her solution to any problem we had.

I open up the package put a fresh roll on the stand and waited. I honestly thought this toilet paper would fill up my bathroom with the scent of chamomile. But nope nothing happened! For the first few days you actually had to hold the toilet paper to your face to even get the smell. But then one morning I walk in, open the door and BAM hits you right in the face the sweet smell of chamomile!!! I was IN LOVE!!! People would come over and they actually thought I had sprayed something on the actual toilet paper and I would have to explain to them that the scent was actually on the paper tube. In the end I really enjoyed having the smell of chamomile in my bathroom and I can't wait to be able to find it at my local Kroger. I was sad that Kroger only had one package left when I went and it was pretty beat up LOL



Heluva Good Dips



Thanks to BzzAgent I had another lovely campaign going! This time for HeluvaGood Dips! I got my box full of goodies in the mail and I was excited to try them out. I had never heard of this brand before, honestly when it came to dips I usually just bought the Kroger brand. 


The above picture as you can tell is all the goodies I received for free from BzzAgent.


So on one of my trips to Kroger I found some of the flavors not all of them. And on the plus side as you can tell they had a sale 2/$3.00 oh yeah! Came home with the French Onion and the Roasted Garlic Caramelized Onion one.


The first thing I did was pop this baby open and eat it with carrots! I LOVE eating carrots and even more when I have something yummy to dip them in. This dip is very thick and full of flavor! You could even try chips what ever you like with these dips. I fell in love with the flavors and can't wait to try the other ones.
