I was sooo excited to be chosen to receive The Good Life VoxBox! It was my very first one!!
I've been a member of Influenster for few months now just hoping and praying to get to try out a box full of goodies so I was ecstatic when this guy finally arrived in my mail box! I've tried several of the items so far so this is going to be a combo-unboxing/review!
Without further ado.....drumroll please!?.....Alright, I can't stand it anymore: Here it is!
(Please don't judge my crappy photography skills - these were all taken with my phone!)

The Products
ZonePerfect Greek Yogurt Bars
I received the Raspberry flavor in my box. I'm usually pretty skeptical of these types of protein-esque bars, so I wasn't super looking forward to eating it, but I threw it in my purse for a "just in case" type situation. And, I'm sure glad I did, because it definitely came in handy the other day at the office when I didn't have time to eat a real lunch! When I first opened the wrapper, the heavenly scent of raspberry sorbet floated out into the open air....so my expectations skyrocketed! I mean, who doesn't love a good raspberry sorbet! Then, I bit into it - eh....noting too special. It wasn't the worst thing I'd ever consumed in a fit of hunger, but it was far from the delicious raspberry sorbet flavor my nose misled my taste buds into thinking they'd soon be meeting! The bar was alright - I'm not going to be rushing out to the store to purchase these, but then again - if gritty protein bars are your thing, maybe you'd feel differently. I honestly didn't even finish the last bite because it was starting to leave an icky taste in my mouth. But, it definitely filled me up and I didn't feel the pangs of hunger until the day was over and I was home looking forward to dinner. But, I'll be sticking with my Nature Valley Chewy Granola Bars for a quick fix!
Nonni's THINaddictives
The lovely folks at Influenster sent me the Cranberry Almond Thins flavor of the Nonni's THINaddictives. I had never heard of these before, but I toted my little package along for a car ride with my BestFriend, Allison, to the first MSU football game of the season - and I even shared them with her! Sharing is caring afterall....at least that's what the Care Bears always said!
Anyway, we both really enjoyed them! They kind of remind me of a weird cross breed between biscotti, a cookie, and health food. Sounds a little out there, I know - but they were actually really good. Crunchy, but not too crunchy, while being a little soft at the same time, but not too soft. It's kind of hard to explain, but get yourself some and give it a go! You won't be disappointed. They come in several flavors and are packaged in convenient little 3 cookie packs - perfect for the desk drawer, purse, diaper bag, lunch, etc. And, at only 100 calories a pouch, you don't even feel the tiniest bit guilty! Also, saw the most amazing idea on their Facebook page - Nonni's a la mode!
***Side note, just visited their website and OhmigoshYouGuys (sorry, Legally Blonde the Musical reference....super catchy songs!) - they have some biscotti that looks to die for! Definitely going to grab me up some of these! If you're around the Michigan or surrounding states area and are interested in trying these, I know I saw them at Meijer in the granola bar aisle! If not, you can find out where to get them near you here.
New-Skin Liquid Bandages
I work with a lot of paper, which means you don't get out without a good paper-cut here or there! Funny enough, I actually got quite a doozie the other day - carbonless paper, in a HUGE stack sliced me up proper, and I was a little excited about it cause I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to try my New-Skin Liquid Bandage spray-on stuff! All I can say is, "Ouch!" This stuff really stings and feels kind of strange on your skin. The spray nozzle makes it difficult to pin-point one area, so I naturally ended up with goop all over my hand - not exactly what I was going for! As far as open wound cuts are concerned, I'll stick with an old fashioned bandage. But, I did read another review of this and this brilliant gal used it on the backs of her ankles for protection from new stiff shoes while she broke them in! Sheer genius! I just got some new shoes for work, so I'll be giving that trick a try!
UrgentRx Fast Powders
I received the headache relief powder in my VoxBox. I have not actually tried this yet so I don't have much to report! But, I can't lie - I've been eagerly awaiting a good head ache to come on so I can test this product out! I don't get headaches too often but there's just something about the idea of a powder you dissolve in water to rid yourself of random aliments that makes me instantly think to something my favorite boy wizard would whip up in potions class! I know I'm a big dork, but I can't help what I like! I also kind of hope it's orange like the label! :)
The Vitamin Shoppe Garcinia Cambogia
This came in my VoxBox just in time for my office's annual Biggest Loser Competition! I haven't seen any results yet - but I'm not super good at remembering to take these a half hour before each meal! So, hopefully I'll get better at that and then better at going to the gym again - and maybe these will give me a little edge going into this competition! I'm really hoping so - there's cash money on the line for the top three losers! After one week, I'm currently in 5th place out of approximately 16-20 contestants!
Wish me luck!
