Brita LongLast Filter Review

Hey there! Long time no speak. I received another free VoxBox from Influenster and inside was the Brita LongLast Filter. Let me tell you about it!

First, it fits pretty much every Brita filter. There's nothing worse than trying to find the exact filter you need.

Second, using it is a breeze. You just unwrap it, place in your Brita Filter (no pre-soaking needed). Then you just discard the first three pitchers (so your filter is functioning the best it can). Then you just add more water and let it filter to enjoy your first glass of fresh clean water!

Third, it removes some harsh chemicals from the water, like chlorine, lead and mercury. It can also remove asbestos.

Forth, you can use the water from this pitcher to fill your reusable water bottle instead of buying expensive disposable water bottles. Those water bottles take up valuable land fill space and can actually be harmful to your health.

And fifth, this filter only needs to be replaced two times a year, which saves you money and time!

I hope you enjoyed my review!

Country Crock Butter Spread!

I received a coupon for this product complementary from Influenster for testing and review purposes. All opinions are my own. I used this butter for a few recipes, one including homemade french bread (which came out amazing). I also use this in place of butter for toast or frying eggs for breakfast. It's spreadable right out of the fridge. I like how there's no hydrogenated vegetable oils in this spread, which is a concern for me (I am a biochemistry major and nutrition minor in college so I know all about them, and they're scary!). I would love to use this spread to make cookies at some point!

Ore-Ida Totchos

I received a complimentary coupon from Influenster for a free bag of Ore-Ida Tater Tots. Of course I snagged these up. I live by myself and don't cook meals for more than one person too often, so meals that I make are pretty simple. But that's okay, sometimes when you make things too complicated things get out of hand. A few simple ingredients can really make something taste amazing. So, following this theme, I decided to make myself a little tater tots snack! I don't do anything too special, but this is great for picky eaters (kids!) or people are just looking for something quick and easy, yet still very delicious! Here's what I did.

I cooked about half the bag of tater tots according to package directions. Once they were nice and crispy, I took them out of the oven. I let them cool slightly, and then graded some extra sharp Vermont cheddar cheese on top and let that melt. I then added some ketchup on top. A sprinkle of salt, and you're done! It's so simple, yet SO good.

Cetaphil® Moisturizing Cream - AMAZING!!

I received Cetaphil® Moisturizing Cream complimentary from Influenster for testing and review purposes. This isn't the first time I've seen/used Cetaphil products. I can say that this stuff is amazing. It's super creamy and moisturizing, but it doesn't make my skin all oily and nasty like some moisturizers do. I definitely avoid those oily products as I don't want to get acne. I want to buy this moisturizer in the larger containers because I like it so much. I was so happy to receive the sample in my Jingle Vox Box from Influenster. Thank you Influenster and Cetaphil for keeping my skin moisturized this cold winter in Vermont.

St. Ives helps me #LiveRadiantly!

I recently received the Campus VoxBox from Influenster for testing purposes. One of the items included was the St. Ives® Blemish Control Apricot Scrub. First of all, it smells AMAZING. It has such a nice subtle apricot scent which makes it super pleasant to use. However most importantly, it feels so cleansing on my face. The light abrasion cleans my skin and pores so nicely. I can definitely feel a difference on my face in terms of acne breakouts and overall softness. I really recommend this product to anyone who has skin issues, especially issues with ache!

I feel healthy and beautiful when I clean my face with St. Ives® Blemish Control Apricot Scrub, and I live radiantly!

Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED #GetADVANCED:

I put it on my face after showering in the morning. It isn't sticky/gross, it goes on smooth and feels moisturizing and clean on my skin. It seems to tighten it a little. Throughout the day my skin continues to feel smooth and moisturized which is good for the cold days in Vermont. I will continue to keep using for sure!

Celestial Seasonings Taste Test #CelestialTea

I received this complementary from Influenster for testing and review purposes.

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea Review:

I am not really a tea person, never really have been. However, the first thing I want to mention is that the tea bag smelled wonderful. It had a great minty flavor which I love. I didn't add anything else to the tea besides the actual tea bag. The flavor is okay, the minty flavor makes it seem like I am drinking tea after I just brushed my teeth. Not saying that's bad, it's just what it reminds me of. I don't necessarily dislike it, but it's just kinda blah. Nothing great. but like I said, I'm not a tea person so you can't really go by my opinion too much.
