"I'd luv to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair." Bette Davis


Ok, so this is the second time I am writing my blog review, as I just deleted the one I had already written without pushing submit. This makes me less then thrilled… but do you know what does make me happy?! www.influenster.com makes me a very happy momma, especially when they send me a Vox Box with THREE free products! Love. Free. Stuff!

   This time I was chosen to product test for Suave… they most know that I have model beautiful hair. Really I do have pretty hair. Except for the white sprouts near my forehead. Those little bastards have got to go! The really cool thing about this Vox Box was that I got to share with Matt and Kenzie!  So I was a little nervous to try Suave products because my sister in law who is a hair dresser to the stars (and when I say starts, I mean me) told me that in beauty school they used Suave to strip the wax off the floor! Ew! But I’m willing to try anything, and if it was disastrous, I’d just go beg for forgiveness from her.


 
 
   Matt got this sexy body wash that makes me think this is how Taylor Kinney from Chicago Fire smells  24/7… don’t tell my husband. They are my fantasies, they are private, except for with you, stalker.









Which reminds me of this funny comic my buddy , Stacy over at http://scottandstacysadventures.blogspot.com/ sent me…. See below. Anyways, got sidetracked thinking of “Kelly Severide”.

 Kenzie got a detangle spray which totally brought me back to the 80’s when my mom would use “no more tears” or something like that spray on my hair so I wouldn’t cry when she brushed my locks.  Kenzie’s hair isn’t quite to my thickness yet, but the spray does lessen the “ow”s I hear every morning! They say you can use the spray on dry hair, but I haven’t tried yet… I am concerned because product usually makes my hair look greasy, and I worry about this for her too.

  You know how I just told you product can make my hair look greasy?! Well not the product I got to try! I got this Moroccan hair mask that totally reminds me of the old school Aussie 3 minute miracle that I totally loved and can’t find anymore… fear not, Suave has come to my long awaited rescue and brought me a 5 minute miracle but… it smells  646846846% better! One of my favorite smells comes from Bath and Body works: Sensual Amber, and the Moroccan leave in conditioner smells just like that! it’s a little piece of 5 minutes of heaven. My hair is super soft after I use it, and I don’t have to worry about product build up, because I only use it 1-2 times a week per the instructions!

So overall, I am very pleased, and I have even more beautiful hair, I get to fantasize over Taylor, and Kenzie cries less…. Win win win!

What happens to the hole when the cheese is gone? Bertolt Brecht

I started a new facination with a website: www.influenster.com all from reading my friend Ashley's blog at http://lovejunebug.blogspot.com - she is one creative spend thrift!.  As you may or may not know, I have started couponing again... oh how I love the thrill of a good kill! Just since August 1st I have saved $494.22 out of pocket by couponing... we shall save my how to's for another blog entry... but then again if I tell you how I do it, you may go buy all the toothbrushes at Riteaid for .19 each and then I wont get any. let me re-think this...


back to Influenster.com... after I earned a few badges by taking surveys, loading my photo, completing fields, etc, I was finally chosen to receive a free product to review! OH MY GOSH! Free is better then couponing! My oop is zero... OOP? out of pocket... later stalkers, later.... ;) I was given the chance to review Sargentos...  this probably wasn't a fair review because we are already Sargento cheese customers. I love their creamy wonderfulness that comes well packaged, with little slips of paper in between each slice... so they don't stick together, of course. I can just picture a I love Lucy-esque lady in her hair net pain-stakingly putting each of those little squares of paper in between my creamy wonderful cheese. please don't burst my bubble by telling me it's done by a machine, just let me have my vision, people.

so in my Influenster box came a free (FREE) coupon (COUPON!) for a Sargento product along with a string cheese container... lined with that silver stuff that keeps things cold.. how freakin' cute is that! so I was inspired to purchase string cheese this time... and my 3 year old... yes, she is 3 now, almost 4... sigh. loves the heck out of string cheese! she doesn't like when it's half yellow, half white... so we went traditional. Sargento proved to continue their excellent quality with these little sticks of wonderfulness. and Kenzie approved too! win-win-win! I got to coupon, I got it free and my kiddo was happy! win-win-win!

Until next time...
