Amazing hair straightener!

 

I received this hair straightener at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

I am totally in love with this straightener! I've been needing a new one for awhile now, and this is the perfect one for me! It's got a digital readout, so you can choose exactly which temperature to set it at, and you can lock in the temperature so even if you thumb hits any buttons, your heat setting won't change! This was a big plus for me, since on my old straighteners I felt like I was always adjusting the temperature or even turning off the unit all together by accident.

 

The solid tourmaline plates means that my hair won't get stuck behind weird metal pieces! Which I LOVE since my hair is naturally wavy and gets caught around everything. My other favorite quality is the 360-degree swivel cord, meaning it doesn't get tangled no matter how many times I switch hands! (Also the color is beautiful!)

Packing Cube

 

I got to try out this packing cube for free in exchange for my honest review - and I LOVE it! It looks pretty inconspicuous, but its really deep, and really wide, so it can fit a lot inside of it! I especially love that it can fit a pair of sneakers! I always want to pack a pair with me, but never want it touching my clean clothes - and now I don't have to worry!

 

It's impressive that it can fit these though, since I wear a woman's size 10! I'm so excited to be able to use this, as I've got two if not three trips planned for this year! The packing cube fits right into my suitcase, so I don't have to worry about wear to put it!

It can also fit a few pairs of pants, or even a jacket! It's perfect for rolling up dirty clothes to put inside, rather than having all the dirty stuff touching everything that's clean. I can't wait to use it for my first trip in February!

Influenster #JingleVoxBox

     

It's been AWHILE since I've posted - sorry! I'm so excited, right around the holidays I was accepted into another Influenster program - the 2015 JingleVoxBox! I got this box for free in exchange for my reviews on all of the products inside!! SOOO here's my review of everything that's inside!

First up is the SUPER adorable Olaf plushie! He's a Hallmark Itty Bitty - and it's pretty much the cutest thing I've ever seen! They're the perfect size for little stocking stuffers, but he's so cute, I'm going to keep him for myself! Can't help it!

Next up is Cetaphil Moisutrizing Cream, which, I LOVE. It leaves my hands feeling sooo soft and smooth, it's great!

I also got the 'Bikini' shade of Pure Ice nail polish - I cannot wait to use this! If I hadn't already painted my nails for the new year I would definitely use this!

I also got to try Biscoff cookies - which I was hesitant of at first because it says they go great with coffee (which I don't like). I was pleasantly surprised to find out how tasty they are though!

There was also an NYC Cityproof 24hr waterproof black eye-liner, which is phenomenal! My current eyeliner is running low, and this works perfectly!

Also got a set of fake lashes from Kiss - True Volume, which is perfect to start off the New Year! They also came with adhesive with aloe!

Last but not least I got a coupon for a FREE pack of Ore-Ida Tater Tots - which I've had in the past and they are deliiiiicious!

So that's my quick run-down of what's in this year's JingleVoxBox! I'll definitely update as I start to use more of the stuff inside!

Glad OdorShield with Gain

I recently got to test out Glad's OdorShield trash bags with Gain through BzzAgent!! Not only did I receive a 40-count box of these new trash bags, but BzzAgent also sent me a $25 gift card! 

I ending up splurging and spending most of it on after-Easter sale candies! YUM! But with these purchases comes extra trash, which is what I think they were going for! (Oh, don't mind the cats in the below photo! They were incredibly interested in all that we bought...) Also, all this for $23.75 a'int bad! Thanks Target!

Now onto the review!! Can I just say how impressed I am with these trash bags? I'll spare you having to see our nasty, old trash, but let me tell you about it!! The bags themselves are "original" scented, but it makes the kitchen smell so fresh! You can tell how lovely they are just by snapping them open, it's not a nasty plastic smell, but rather fresh and clean! And it doesn't seem to matter what we fill the bags with! Wrappers, old food, kitty litter, you name it, we can't smell it! It's incredible, honestly!! 

And just so you know, you can only get these bags at a few stores so far! They are as follows: Wal-Mart, Target, Dollar General, and Family Dollar!! Although I did see them at Stop and Shop the other day with a "NEW" tag underneath it, so they're spreading fast!! I LOVE these bags!

SweeTARTS Soft & Chewy Ropes

I recently received two packs of SweeTARTS Soft & Chewy Ropes, a pack to share and a little pack all for my lonesome! OH MAN are they delicious! It was hard not to immediately open the larger pack after finishing off my pack!

I expected them to have a taste similar to Twizzlers, but I was wrong! They're a little sweet and a little sour at the same time, just like you'd expect from a SweeTART product, but they've got a different texture as well. They're still chewy, but...better! I haven't seen these Ropes in stores yet, but hopefully I'll find them soon, because I definitely want to grab some more!

Venus Snap

I recently received a Venus Snap with Embrace razor through Influenster! Let me tell you, this is by far the most convenient travel item I've ever owned. It's a miniature Venus razor (which can be attached to any Venus razor head!) and it comes inside it's own mini case. The case has tiny air holes, so if you put your mini razor away while it's wet, it'll dry on it's own and won't get all gross! I've used

Atlantic City!!!!

I recently got invite to a "sampling" of Atlantic City through Crowdtap! I received a one-night stay in the Tropicana Hotel and Casino and some swag through them! Of course I brought my best friend along, and we had a blast!!

We ended up getting stuck in traffic for HOURS on our way to Atlantic City (normally about a 4 hour trip took us a little more than 6...) So we missed all of the Crowdtap sponsored events, but we did a little exploring of our on on Monday night! We watched the Sound and Light show on the Boardwalk and bought a few late night snacks as we walked on the beach!!

The coolest decorative feature of the Tropicana Hotel and Casino is most definitely the ceiling!! It really makes it feel like you're outside!

We ordered breakfast in bed Tuesday morning with our free Tropicana gift card!!

The beautiful view from our window in our hotel room!

We continued our exploration of the boardwalk and took each other's pictures on the stairs to the Taj Mahal Hotel!!

Then we found some amazing sand sculptures near the Steel Pier amusement park!!

After our 3 mile hike to the Atlantic City Aquarium, we walked back to our hotel on the beach in the best beach-day weather we could have hoped for!

All in all we had an AMAZING time, and are already looking ahead to see when we can go back for a longer stay!!
