Propresser Garlic Press Review
As an avid cooker, I love using fresh garlic in almost all my recipes! As much as I love my garlic, I hate prepping it because you have to peel, mince, and scrape it and it takes time that sometimes I just dont have! Ive cheated alot of times and used pre-jarred garlic cause I didnt want to go through the hassel but lets face it-jarred garlic isnt the same as fresh. When I was given the chance to try this out and review this garlic press from Orblue, I was so excited!!!
When the press arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by how heavy it was! It was well crafted and I felt like it was very durable. I instantly wanted to try but it was breakfast time so it had to wait.
Ok so dinner time arrived and I was ready to use my press! I was making seafood linguine that night so it was perfect. I was interested in seeing how well it really worked with garlic that was already peeled and unpeeled garlic. I put it to the test with both and it works so amazing!!! I was thrilled that I didnt have to peel anymore! Hooray!
I shoulda taken pics but being that Im an adhd mom, I kinda got side tracked! lol. Yall are in luck though! Here is a direct link to a YouTube video on how well it works! You gotta click HERE to see it in action!
Overall, I would definitely recommend this for any master cook or beginner cook-they will thank you! No more garlic smelling hands (Im sure the vampires out there will be glad!). You can have a piece of mine with the fact that it comes with a 200% guarantee....no I didnt mistype that-its quite true! That means that if you have problems with your this product simply let the company know and they will refund every penny of your purchase AND send you a brand new unit free of charge! YOU CANT FINE A DEAL LIKE THAT ANYWHERE!!!
Right now you can get this product $18.99 (list price is $45.00). Thats 58% savings!!! Click HERE to get it now!
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

TLC Voxbox Influenster Review
Okay lets start this party off by telling you what I got in the TLC box. I got Shell Fuel Rewards card, Breyers Gelato Indulgences, Puffs to Go, Neo to Go (Neosporin), Ivory Soap bar, and Avon Reversalist Complete Renewal Express Wrinkle Smoother. Ok now onto the reviews!!!
I absolutely didnt know about the Shell Fuel Rewards card until this box. Here is a little secret- its totally free! Who doesnt love free?! I love the fact that right now they have a promotion going on until 08/31/14 that after your second fillup of 8 gallons or more you get .25 cents off 2 fillups. When you first fillup and after you use your 2 .25cent fillups you still get .03cents off! How awesome is that especially with gas being expensive nowadays. You can get a free card at shell.com
Now onto Breyers Gelato Indulgences. Yeah this was my favorite part of the box. lol. I got the Tiramisu one and yes it was like heaven in my mouth. Dont be trying to count calories if you are eating this! It has about 160 calories for 1/2 cup but trust me its that sweet little indulgences that make life fun ;) Only downfall is that they only have 3 flavors but I can see once they get out there, alot more flavors will be hitting the shelves.
Puffs to go and Neo to go were the most efficient ones in the box. If you have kids, I highly suggest both of these products. Both are name brands that have been around for years and are well trusted by my family. I was not disappointed by either of these. They are both so small and easy to carry in my purse!
Ivory Soap has been around forever (I remember my mom and grandmom using it as a little girl). We didnt use it to bathe but rather to make bath crayons with it. Once again having kids, nothing is ever yours! lol. I ended up buying a 6 pack of it to make colors of the rainbow. it was super easy and my 9 year old had alot of fun doing it.
Last but not least Avon. I always thought being 30 I wouldnt need wrinkle stuff at such an earlyage but I guess being in the sun has its effects :( I was pleasantly happy at how well and fast this worked! Im a quick 5 minute shower to door kinda gal. I just whipped this on with alittle bit of eyeshadow and lip gloss and I was done. My HUSBAND even noticed that my face looked better (thanks hun!). I recommend this to any age group younger or older. IT works great for everyone!

Dr. Scholl's For Her Cozy Cushions
First off just wanted to let yall know that I did get these complimentary from Influenster in my Rose Vodbox.
When looking for a new set of inserts for you shoes that are comfortable and affordable can be pretty tricky. I know personally I have tried so many different brands out there and very few of them actually work. I was pretty excited to get to try these out for free since I was in the market for some new ones with the winter months coming up. So here it is-my review of the cushions!
The first thing that I noticed when I opened the package was how soft and light they were. I thought to myself, wow these my actually be good! After inserting them into my boots and actually wearing my boots, I was impressed by couple of things but disappointed on others. What I totally like about these is that they actually are comfortable! it feels like you are walking in you household slippers-mine are pretty comfortable so this was a plus! They also kept my feet warm and dry when it got nippy outside but it didn't make them sweat when it was warm. It doesn't get very cold down here in South Central Texas except once in a blue moon so this was a nice surprise.
Now onto the cons, uh oh! I was kinda disappointed that they didnt really have arch support so I felt like I have to put a different show insert in just to get that support. With that being said it kinda makes it really tight around my foot when I have to have two supports in. The only other downfall that I had was that they were a little bit too short in length. I wear a size 11/11.5. the shoes inserts on went up to a 10 so it left a little bit of my toes to hang over and it just felt weird. I'm sure most people wont have that issue though!
Overall I would recommend these to ladies that live were it gets cold (keeps you feet really warm!) and for women that have to stand on their feet all day. So good job Dr. Scholl's! Im impressed as usual by yalls products!

Retro look using Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara
When it comes to completely the ultimate retro look, it actually isn't that hard! The simplest and easiest look is keeping it basic-which is heavy eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara. I use a liquid eyeliner with a very thin tip to get precision going. Eye shadow can be one color for this look-I like using darker colors for this look. For the mascara, I am trying out Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara that was in my Rosebox that I got totally free from Influenster! Its very easy to do a retro look so lets get started!
The first step of a retro look is that more is better! Nowadays gals want to look natural and use mineral based products that are good for your skin. Think about it though. In the 60's, they didn't have all the things that we have today! So starting off with eye shadow, apply one color whether its blue, green, or any color except black. We are going to apply it all over the eyelid all the way up to the brow bone. You should be able to feel your brow bone. If you want a cat look like look and want your angles to be awesome, put a piece of scotch tape at the angle you want from the tip of your eyebrow to the corner of your eye. If not flare it out! Whatever way you chose, just make sure that you have a heavy color coating. Oops gotta back track real quick! Eyebrows in the 60's were full yet arched gracefully. They weren't pencil thin so if you need to be sure to color in your eyebrows before the eye shadow goes on!
When it comes to eyeliner, you can do it as a cat eye or as a normal straight line. The thing that you want to make sure that you do is have a good liquid eyeliner. Pencil liners can work but I prefer liquid because of its precision. Remember more is better! Make it thick and bold! When it comes to mascara, I tried Scandaleyes Retro Glam by Rimmel this time. I absolutely loved it! It gave me bold big eyelashes (which is exactly how it was in the 60's according to my mom!). without clumping. I loved the fact that it dried fast and it didn't smear onto my eye shadow the way some of the past products did. When I put it on my bottom lashes, I had a paper towel under it because I have big hands and tend to accidentally wipe my cheek with it-lol.Overall, I would give Rimmel's Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara a big high 5 for being awesome! I have tried other products this past year and I can say this one impressed me the most! So remember to look at your local stores in Nov 2013 for Rimmel's Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara!
