Kiss Nail Dress

I am someone who loves to make a statement with my nails. I am known to always have a different color painted on and some of my colors can be pretty bright. I do also have an issue with nail polish at times though. The polish never lasts more than a few days and often chips hours after having them done. Kiss Nail Dress may have solved this problem though. Kiss nail dress is a sticky design to place on your fingernails or toenails. All you have to do is peel, apply and shape them to your fingers or toes. The best part for me is that they will last up to ten days. This is much better than the three days I usually get with typical nail polish. I put my camisole print Kiss Nail Dress on over a week ago and they still look fabulous. The print I received from Influenster was called Camisole and looked almost like a zebra print. I loved the print I got but I can't wait ti try some others. They come in 18 different styles. Trying the Kiss Nail Design products was a wonderful opportunity. This was a product I had not heard of but will be buying in the future!
Nail Dress’ suggested retail price is $6.99 and is available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens.

Influenster sent me the Kiss Nail Dress as a pat of the Love VoxBox. All opinions are my own and have not been influenced in any way.

Influenster Love VoxBox

I recently joined Influenster and I already got picked for my first VoxBox. This one is called the Love VoxBox and it was amazing. There were five products and I loved them all. In the box was a Gillette Venus & Olay Razor, Kiss nail dress, Stash Tea Herbal tea sampler, Ghiradelli Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion and Truvia Natural Sweetener. I will be doing individual posts for each of the products but I wanted to show everyone what was in the box. If you are not a member of Influenster go to www.influenster.com to sign up.

February Cravebox

The February Cravebox was called the Make-A-Date Cravebox. Now I am not really sure how all of the products in this month's box went with that theme but I didn't care because I love the products I got.
The box started with two think Thin bars. These were perfect for me since I have been on a diet since January. Any nutrition bar is a friend of mine right now. They sent to flavors. One was a creamy peanut butter bar and the other one was a chocolate nut bar. I love peanut butter so this bar was perfect for me. The second item in the box was EBoost. This was probably my least favorite product just because I am not really one to drink these vitamin energy booster supplements. My husband loves them however and said these tasted pretty good. One of my favorite products in the box were the two Amore Pacific product. We were sent a face wash as well as a face spritzer. I love them both! Even though they are pretty expensive products I love how my skin feels after using them and may have to buy more in the future. This is a product I had never heard of and if it weren't for Cravebox I probably never would have tried it. The fourth product was the Downy Wrinkle Releaser. I love this product. I brought it to work with me and within four days it was gone. Everyone in my office was trying it and were amazed at how well it took the wrinkles out of our clothes. Last but not least was my favorite item in the box. There were six BiC Mark-it permanent markers. As a teacher little things like markers make me happy. I also brought these to school and gave one to a few fellow teachers. Everyone loves them. They are great markers and I loved the Valentine's Day colors they sent me.
Cravebox is still in the Beta phase but I think it is here to stay. I love that for $10 a month I get a box filled with awesome full sized products. Cravebox is offered through She Speaks and would be worth your time to check it out. There is currently a wait list to be a part of Cravebox but it has been such a wonderful experience and I would say would be worth the wait.

Old Navy Style Council


So as many of you already know I am a member of Crowdtap. Through Crowdtap I was picked to be part of the Old Navy Style Council. This has been such an amazing group to be a part of. I have had the opportunity to try and share with friends two different pairs of activewear pants, jeans and most recently T-shirts and tanks. I have always been a fan of Old Navy clothes but I was thrilled to hear they had changed the fabric for the T-shirts and tank tops. After I heard this I was not sure what to expect but when I got to the store I was pleasantly surprised. The fabric that Old Navy had changed to was so soft. I also was excited to see that the fit seemed a little bit better. In the past many of my tanks from Old Navy had a boxy shape to them and although I really liked them they were not the most flattering. The new shirts really are a better style and feel. If you have not joined Crowdtap yet you really should so you can start sampling and sharing Old Navy clothes!

Sweeter than Birdsong

Sweeter than Birdsong is a new novel that combines hope and faith to create a fantastic historical fiction read. Sweeter than Birdsong is the second book in The Saddler's Legacy by Rosslyn Elliot. This is the first book I have read by Rosslyn Elliot but I was so pleased with it I am planning to go back and read Fairer than Morning, the first book in this series.

This book really focuses around two main characters Kate Winter and Ben Hanby. Kate is a very shy yet beautiful college student. She is the first woman to graduate from Otterbein College and she has many dreams to persue. Mainly she wants to be able to escape from her family's secrets and her overbearing mother. Ben Hanby is a musical genius at Otterbein College and the director of the musical. When he hears Kate sing he is mesmerized by her voice, beauty and shyness. Ben is interested in getting to know her but know he must keep some of his secrets to himself as well. Mainly his work with The Underground Railroad no one can know about.

In the book Ben and Kate are brought together by a terrible tragedy. This accident threatens to expose both of their secrets as well as ruin their dreams. Throughout the book they develop a relationship that grows in trust and strength from God.

The was a beautifully written Civil War novel. In the past I have not been one who has really enjoyed Historical Fiction books. Sweeter than Birdsong ws so descriptive and well written that I actually felt like I was a part of the book. If every Historical Fiction book was as well written as this I think I would really enjoy the genre.
I was provided a copy of this book from Book Sneeze and Thomas Nelson Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
