Simple idea for using NECTRESSE

Here's the latest in product review posts from my Sugar 'N Spice Influenster box!  Here's my standard disclaimer shill - I got the Nectresse free from Influenster!

So whats the easiest thing to make with Nectresse? COFFEE! Instant brew with my Keurig and use my milk and nectresse like you would any other sweetner. Only you don't need as many packs! SOLD! :-)

Tried out the Colgate Optic White Regimen thanks to Influenster!


I recently received the Sugar N Spice VoxBox from Influenster. It was filled with loads of good stuff! Part of the box was Colgate’s Optic White regimen, toothpaste, mouthwash, and toothbrush. My favorite of the three is the toothpaste. It tastes great and if you even look at the regular price it is very affordable. There always seems to be coupons out though! If you are needing to brighten your smile these products are both legit and affordable. I’ve tried other whitening products and didn’t notice the same immediate results that I had with Colgate Optic White.
    Colgate Optic White
★★★★★ Colgate Optic White Toothpaste $2.99 for 4oz tube
-For a whitening toothpaste this is a great value!
★★★★☆ Colgate Optic White Mouthwash $2.99 for 8oz bottle
- I was impressed by the lack of burn and how there was no residual film left on my teeth like most post brush mouth washes.
★★★★☆ Colgate Optic White Toothbrush $2.99 per brush
- I really like this brush but it takes some getting used to. If your gums are sensitive or you've used the same toothbrush for a LONG time, the rubber around the inside of the bristles might aggravate your gums.
I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Sugar n' Spice VoxBox from Influenster!


I just received a great new box from Influenster!

What is Influenster? It's a website that occasionally offers up FREE products for you to try in whats called a VoxBox. You also have the opportunity to enter contests, earn badges and be part of a great network of folks that are trying out these great things!

The Influenster "Sugar and Spice" 2013 Vox Box:

Inside the Box:

Vaseline Spray and Go Moisturizer ($7.99 for 6.5 oz can): I like this. a lotion where your hands don't get all gross! spray it on like those spray sunscreens and just rub it it. Not a big blob like regular bottles of lotion. It smells great too.

Nectresse 100% Natural Sweetener ($6.99 for 5.9 oz container or $3.99 for a box of 40 packets): I've seen this before but never tried it. This sweetener is from the maker of Splenda and is a monk fruit-based sweetener. Apparently it is even sweeter than sugar! The conversion: 1/4 tsp Nectresse = 1 tsp sugar. I'm sure my husband will get to it before me as his coffee... well let's say he puts a little coffee in his cup of sugar..lol.

Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Oil Controling Towelettes ($5.99 for a 20-count box): Like the name states, these are individually wrapped witch hazel towelettes. I have really oily skin and should probably use witch hazel more often and this might be the answer it's easy to fit in my purse rather than toting around a big bottle. I have to say I don't like the smell though.

Colgate Optic White Regimen (Toothpaste $2.99 for 4 oz tube, Mouthwash $2.99 for 8 oz bottle, and Toothbrush $2.99 per brush): Good stuff here. I've bought these before when CVS has had a sale (with coupons of course) and love them. I usually use an electric toothbrush so I gave that to my husband to try. No complaints so that's a good sign. Toothpaste and Mouthwash are very refreshing.

belVita Breakfast Biscuits ($3.69 for a box of 5 packets): I love these things. I've had them before and stocked up when they were BOGO at Publix and really cheap with coupons. My husband loves them with his coffee. Me? Anytime :-) I received the cinnamon kind in my VoxBox but the blueberry is definitely my fav.

Plus: Coupons from Dickenson's and an info booklet with recipes from Nectresse!

What a great Vox Box! It is full of interesting new products that I will enjoy trying out!
