Orville Redenbacher Chedder Carmel Popcorn from Influenster!

I reviewed this product to test out and it did leave a good impression with my family. We received a full size bag of the cheddar caramel popcorn. It seems like an unlikely combo but one which has become popular recently. I myself had never tried it but I did enjoy the sweet and salty mix. I've never been a fan of caramel popcorn but I was pleasantly surprised with the light taste it had.

My only complaint about this product is the amount given. For such a large bag, there wasn't much product. It's deceiving on the pet of the company. I probably wouldn't buy it in store because of this fact. The photo below is what the first look upon opening the bag was like.

I received this product free of charge for testing purposes and all opinions are my own!

The Hasbro Gaming VoxBox from Influenster: Monopoly Junior!

Yay here is our 2nd VoxBox from Influenster! We are so excited!!  I say we because this voxbox is geared for my 4 year old Kamden.  I completed a survey regarding my children and I was selected for the Canadian exclusive Vox Box!!!!  I received these products complementary from Influenster for testing purposes!

When Kammy got home from school I told him he had a "Package" (he gets so excited when any kind of package comes to the house).  He was so happy to see a board game, Monopoly Junior!!  We have been building up our game collection over the past few years and in fact, I looked for Monopoly Junior last Xmas but couldn't find it!!  I remember having the game as a child.

The game has changed quite a bit since I was a kid but its still made with high quality.  Instead of the traditional pieces, they now have fun characters as your game players.  They also changed the money system and instead of having several different amounts they only have $1 bills.  This makes this game so easy for my kinder gardener to play more independently!  The board itself is colorful and bright and is similar to the old version.  In the old game you would place your houses on properties you own, in this newer version you place your "sold sign" on your owned properties.  They are little cardboard signs with your characters face on them.

I see this game as something that will greatly help my 4 year old to read and count effectively (being in kindergarten he is just starting to use these skills).  After we complete a game he wants to play it over and over again.  Even my 12 year old who played with us, wants to play the game multiple times.  I have a feeling we will enjoy this one for a long LONG time.

Overall i highly recommend Monopoly Junior if you have school aged children.  It really is the perfect game if you have children of a wide variety of ages.  Not only is it fun but its a learning tool for reading and counting. It also hold nostalgic value! I totally played this with my mother when I was Kamden's age!  Had I not received this in my Voxbox I would have been all over buying this at Christmas time!

My only comment for improvement on the game would be to include more "houses" or  "sold signs" as they are now called.  When I played the game with just my 12 year old, I owned so many properties that I ran out of the ownership signs/sold signs!  You get 12 but I think you should be provided with 16 (in the event that you owned all 16 properties).

Packaging    5/5 - came in a sturdy box, bright and colourful
Quality         5/5 - all pieces are built to last, board is thick and sturdy!
Difficulty       5/5 - 5 being best for this age, it was easy enough for a 4 year old to understand
Overall         5/5 - We ALL loved this game!

YAY Canadian Vox Box by Influenster!!!!!!!

I have been a member of Influenster for a while now after hearing about it from a friend!!  My friend is in the USA but I also read that Influenster does have a Canadian version.  It seems as though it isn't as big here but I thought I'd give the site a try.  Basically you answer surveys, earn badges based on interests and review/talk about products!   Every now and then Influenster sends out boxes with products to try!!  So fun right!?  

I got an invite last week for the ImPRESSmanicure VoxBox!  I accepted after filling out another form.  The box literally arrived a few days later and I was shocked at how fast it came!

 

 

You can not imagine my excitement to receive my first vox box after filling out so many reviews, talking about all kinds of stuff on their site, attempting to improve my badge scores!  Opening the little box this is what we see!

 

 

 

 

So in the box we have 2 pairs of press on nails, one solid and one design set.  VERY girly!!!   I have already tried one of the pairs.  In the kit you get various sized nails with lots of extras.  The nails each have a sticky back so no messy glues!  It also comes with a file and a nail prep pad.  After following the instruction I had a full set of nails on!

 

 

Likes:

- no glue!

- colours - both set I got were pink!  After seeing other influensters posts there are so many cool designs!

- no damage is done to your nails, like when you have a set put on at the salon!

- they felt secure!

- no chipping!

- easy to apply and take off - they didn't come off until I intentionally took them off!

- they don't look fake and there is flow in the size and shape of nails

- fast to apply

 

Dislikes:

- I have wide nails and there weren't enough wide sizes, I feel I would have had a better fit with better fitting sizes

- one use per kit :(

- with the solid pair, I wasn't always sure which way was up or down and as a result I had to replace the nails a couple times

- although the nails felt secure when you view them from the top you can see there was not a perfect fit and there was a slight gap

 

 

 

Overall I liked this product.  As a nurse I cant wear a lot of polish or have fake salon nails so this product offers an alternative.  I can wear them for as long or as little as I need and can remove them at home!  There is also a big range of colours and designs!

 

Thank you Influenster!!!!   I also wanted to mention that I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.  I am doing so at my own free will as its something I am interested in!   Should anyone want to become a member of influenster please contact me for an invite <3
