Influenster Holiday VoxBox 2012

Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you many blessings in the new year.

When I got home from Christmas, the Influenster Holiday VoxBox 2012 was waiting for me in the mail, full of fun goodies to try out! I will write individual reviews on some of the products, but I wanted to share my initial reactions.

Influenster Holiday VoxBox 2012

Here are the contents of my VoxBox:

  • Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal (Cherry Pistachio Oatmeal +) $1.79 per cup: I am so excited to try this oatmeal. It looks like a great item to bring to work on days when I don't have time to eat breakfast at home.
  • NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine (in Nude York City) $2.49 : I live by the philosophy that one can never have enough lipgloss and this looks like a nice neutral color. I have never tried New York Color lipgloss before and am interested to see if it works well since it is a great price!
  • Kiss Nail Dress (in Teddy) $6.99: I have never used stick on nail art before, but the Teddy pattern looks great for a special event. I'm interested to give it a try!
  • EBOOST (in Pink Lemonade) $28 for a box of 20 effervescent powders: I have had a cold lately so I'm going to give this a try and see if it will give me a boost.
  • Goody QuikStyle Brush (Half Round Styler) $11.99: This brush removes up to 30 percent of water as you style! I used it for the first time the other day and was surprised by how much water it absorbed!
  • Sole Society: An interesting online shoe society. Use the code INFLUENSTER25 to get $25 off your first purchase!
  • Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask under $2: I can't wait to use this mask on a day that I need some relaxation.

Ferrero Rocher Review: A Beautiful Golden Box for the Holidays

Some of my favorite moments in life have occurred around Ferrero Rocher chocolates. With their individually wrapped golden foil, I loved how Ferrero Rocher made any moment feel fancy. I would receive them for birthdays, anniversaries, and right before I left to study abroad in Europe. Ferrero Rocher chocolates are my father's favorite candy, and I remember us sneaking chocolates from my mom's candy dish when I was a child, then counting to see who snuck the most. 

I was so excited when Influenster sent me a complimentary golden box of Ferrero Rocher for the holidays. The Ferrero Rocher chocolates came in a beautiful golden box perfect for the holiday season. The box looks like a present complete with a bow so you don't have to wrap it before giving it to your family and friends! 


This golden box of Ferrero Rochers makes a great holiday gift!
Although I have had many Golden Gifting moments and Ferrero Rocher chocolates are associated with many memories of my childhood, one of my favorite moments is when I gave my husband his first box of Ferrero Rocher. He wasn't sure if he would like them, but the next thing I knew, he had eaten most of the box! I made sure that he saved at least one for me. :) 

According to the company "Ferrero Rocher® is a unique and delicious chocolate experience made by Italian chocolatier Ferrero, since 1982. The chocolates are a tempting combination of smooth chocolaty cream surrounding a whole hazelnut; within a delicate, crisp wafer. . . all enveloped in milk chocolate and finely chopped hazelnuts. The chocolates are individually wrapped in gold foil."

I describe them to friends as creamy chocolate goodness wrapped around a delicious hazelnut. Ferrero Rocher chocolates have been a delicious part of my life, and I can't wait to bite into another one!
