Sunkissed VoxBox by Influenster!

Well, it's been quite some time since I wrote a little review, so here we go. I got a sweet little VoxBox from Influenster just over a month ago and must share the "ingredients" with you!

So, here is what I got! It was definitely one of the better VoxBoxes that I've gotten so far!

Alright people, let's start with my favorite item, the Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream.

I've never really been one to use face creams or moisturizers before I put my make up on in the morning, but with the summer here, I've started to put this on under my makeup and honestly, I LOVE it. For starters, it has SPF in it. I can't say I've always been the best about my SPF usage in the past, but that wisdom comes with age and now that I'm in my late 20s and obviously wise beyond my ears, SPF is key. Secondly, I think it really "preserves" my make up for the day. I feel that I look "fresher" longer throughout the day. So yea, go out and get it! Oh, and one last thing -- there has been a "heat wave" for like the last 3 weeks in NYC and I feel like using this, I don't feel like I look greasy when I arrive at work after a 1.5 mile walk to work in this damn humidity!

Second favorite item! Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics!

These things are great. I can put my hair up and walk to work with one of these in my hair and no joke, I can get to work, take my hair down and there is barely a crease in my hair, if one at all. Like I said, with the heat and humidity, there is NO way that I can stand to walk to work without my hair up or I'd look identical to a wet rat by the time I arrived. So yes, go out and get these. They're amazing and did I mention, they're cute too??

Ok, what is next. Ahh, my Dr. Scholl's Inserts.

Put these in a pair of heels at work and love them. They really do add some comfort and cushion to my walk and I have never used the full foot insert before. I've used the one that just comforts the ball of your foot, but I really enjoy this one. Also, it totally makes my shoe stay on better!

Final item!

Really loved the color of this polish (Mardi Gras) and it went on really nicely. I haven't bought any at the store, but rumor has it it's only $2.99! That's a steal compared to my usual Essie at $8 a pop! It comes in a ton of colors (I think somewhere around 36!) so go out and check it out!

So, that is this month's VoxBox! I honestly loved all of the items so it was really hard to choose what I reallllly liked the most. So, there you go. All of them!

Until next VoxBox!

Slacker City!

Wow. So, as of Saturday, it's been approximately one month since I have posted. Kinda sad. But, in my defense, we've been supa-dupa busy. Let's see.

• Last weekend in June I did a 5 mile PRIDE Run in Central Park. It was awesome and just after DOMA got voted down so it was amazing to see the love. 
• Then we attended the Summer Fancy Foods show at the Javits Center. Yea, we're really not that cool, but my boss knows someone who put our name in and before you know it we were eating $150 prosciutto and trying to act like we weren't hovering at their station.
• Hmm, what's next, 4th of July? (I'm literally looking at a calendar while I write this, so I'm really just pretending that I didn't know what weekend was next.) We hit up the Poconos with Kim and Kyle and had an awesome time. We fished, kayaked, Brandon golfed, I played tennis, drank, relaxed and over all it was a nice, relaxing, non-crazy, perfect long weekend.
• And that brings us to this last weekend. We went to visit Melissa and Dan at their new home in Hampton Bays. They are renovating most of the house and it is going to be amazing when they are done. It was just nice to see some friends, hang out, relax. Unfortunately, the weather was total crap on Saturday, but we had a great dinner with them, Kate and Steve and overall, it was really just about us all getting together.

So, that brings me to today, July 15. First of all, it's a Monday night and I'm about to start drinking my 3rd margarita of the night. It's #Bachelorette night here in the house and it's hometown dates. Brandon usually uses this as an excuse to drink, so tonight he came home with a few ingredients that I thought, hmm, what is he up to? Well, he says, "I'm making margarita's!" We cheers and I asked him what to, and he said, "Summer!" I didn't have the heart to tell him that summer actually started 1 month ago. But, c'est la vie. Who am I to rain on someones parade??

So this Friday, we head to the dirty dirty to check out Zac Brown Band at the PNC Bank Arts Center, after spending a day at the beach. Totes looking forward to a little beach time, a little date time and a little bit of country music time...because these days...I'm in a southern state of mind...

On that note, lemme finish this up and get to posting about the latest VoxBox!

xo!
