Gizmo Crate Review May 2014


I can't believe how awesome this company is!  Just received my fourth Gizmo Crate and am so excited to share everything with you.  I have a 12 month subscription with Gizmo Crate for $29 a box.  You can also choose to pay every month.  If you do this, the box is $39 a month.  Shipping is free!  Gizmo Crate has done an excellent job finding the coolest technology gadgets and food items.


Stylus Dust Plug
 Stylus Dust Plug ~ I love using a stylus, but I frequently misplace them.  How convenient that this one plugs into the audio jack.  It says it is for the iPhone and iPad, but it works on my Galaxy Note 3 and my son's iPod.  He took it from me and I'm afraid he's claimed it for his own!  He thinks it's neat because it extends.



Sour Patch Kids
 Sour Patch Kids ~ First they're sour, then they're sweet.  Yum!  I'm eating these before my daughter gets home!



Stick-it Pad
 Stick-it Pad ~ I just received two of these today - 1 in my Gizmo Crate and 1 in our Nerd Block.  This is so nice, because now my husband can use the second one.  This pad is designed to stick to your dashboard and keep your cell phone in place.  You can also place it on your desk and keep your office supplies in one spot.  



Solar Charger
 Solar Charger ~ This will come in handy at work.  I don't know why, but everybody always borrows my phone chargers.  Now I will have a backup charger for when I loan my corded charger out.  This uses the sun's energy to charge any device with a USB connection cable!  What a great accessory to have while camping.



Bluetooth Wireless Mini Headset
 Bluetooth Wireless Mini Headset ~ I have one friend who loves to give me a hard time when I use my Note 3 to make a phone call.  Now, I may be spared from her jabs with this little thing!  



Bluetooth Remote Shutter
 Bluetooth Remote Shutter ~ This is a neat gadget!  It's a battery operated shutter remote.  It works with Apple and Android products.  If your product isn't supported, you can download the Camera360 app.  Doing so will allow you to use the shutter.  It has a 10 m distance.  I can't wait to use it for family photos!



Subscription Boxes
I LOVE my Gizmo Crate!  I get such unique gadgets that make life easier and more fun.  Can't wait to see the future boxes!

Kawaii Box Review May 2014

There are always so many things in my daughter's KawaiiBox from Super Kawaii Pop!  This is such a fun, fun, fun box!  Super Kawaii Pop is an internet based business that brings Japanese Kawaii cuteness to people in the states.  



Super Kawaii Pop
 Kawaii Eraser ~ Mistakes are fun to correct with cute erasers!  Perfect for little girls who work hard in school!



Daiso Felt Sweets Kit
 Daiso Felt Sweets Kit ~ This is a felt craft kit from Daiso.  The finished product is a sweet little swiss roll!  This looks to be an easy craft Olivia can do.  We will save this for summer break in a few weeks.



Macaroon Squishy
 Macaroon Squishy ~ This month my daughter got a purple macaroon squishy.  Squishy collecting is her new hobby.  She really looks forward to the squishy every month!



Daiso Letter Set
Daiso Letter Set ~ This letter set features an adorable lamb based on a Sunday picnic theme.  The paper is lined.  Included are 6 stickers to decorate with.  The envelopes are VERY cute and will make  some recipient very happy.  


Daiso Fluffy Keychain
Daiso Fluffy Keychain ~ I want this.  This fluff ball is adorned with decorative beading and a keychain clasp.  I'm a little jealous of my daughter right now!  I don't know why, but it reminds me of the movie Clueless.



Daiso Polka Dot Pouch
Daiso Polka Dot Pouch ~ I believe the Pokemon collection will be transferred to this pouch!  It zips shut to keep things secure.  It's made from a very soft, furry material.  The bow and pearl on the front give it an extra "pop"!



Popin Cookin' Waffle Cafe DIY Happy Kitchen Kit
Popin Cookin' Waffle Cafe DIY Happy Kitchen Kit ~ We love to play with our food!  This is a waffle/candy kit by Kracie.  We're going to make two heart-shaped candy waffles with strawberry topping, blueberries, and whip cream.  These kits are so much fun!  The directions are in Japanese, but luckily there are YouTube videos explaining the process.  We like watching Emmy's videos.







Super Kawaii Pop
The KawaiiBox ships around the 20th of each month from California.  The cost is $20, which includes shipping.  The owner, Krissy, is going to be changing some things and making improvements to the KawaiiBox.  I'm really excited to see these changes with June's box!

iDiscoverBox Review May 2014

Subscription Boxes
 iDiscoverBox is a subscription service for cell phone accessories.  Every month I get a variety of cases and assorted items for my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.  I purchased a year subscription for $9.99 a month, free shipping.



 Screen Protector ~ I love screen protectors!  They prevent scratches and help protect my screen.



Pink Shell Case ~ I got this case in my February box.  It's a pink rubberized plastic shell that easily attaches to my phone.  Since this is a repeat, the first person to request this case in the comments may have it!  I will drop it in a padded envelope and mail it out!



Flip Cover ~ My first flip cover!  It's different and very slim.  The cover has a crosshatch design.  My phone snaps right in and stays in!



I enjoy getting new stuff for my phone!  I'm still hoping for an armband and a charging cable.  A holster case or wallet case would be nice too.  Overall, I think this is a great deal for cell phone accessories.  I've noticed the iPhone cases iDiscoverBox sends out are a little more decorative.  I wish there were more fashionable cases for the Note.  However, I only had one case for my last phone, so I'm definitely happy with all of my new cases and accessories!

Socialbliss Style Box Review May 2014

Socialbliss
 I think the Socialbliss Style Box needs to be a weekly box!  This is always one of my monthly highlights!  #TheStyleBox rocks!  They've added a cute logo sticker this month to the wrapping.



Socialbliss

SocialblissSocialbliss
Socialbliss does an excellent job explaining the products and giving "how to" tips.  This month's designer spotlight is Fusion Beauty.  It sounds like they are a more scientific skin care/beauty company.  If so, they probably have great products that deliver true results.



My Ties
 Wrist-Bliss Hair Ties ($4) ~ This gold-toned, polka dotted hair tie was exclusively designed for the Socialbliss Style Box.  You can use it as a hair tie or bracelet.  I believe this design will not tug, tangle, or leave crease marks in your hair.  



The Creme Mini Eyelas Curler
 The Creme Mini Eyelash Curler ($7) ~ I've been looking for one of these!  I'm Korean and have extremely straight eyelashes.  This little device is designed to curl those hard-to-reach lashes.  The box says that the foam pad should last about three months.  It even has a replacement pad.  It will go great with my Latisse and Blinc!



The Creme Shop Cleansing Towelettes
 The Creme Shop Cleansing Towelettes ($4) ~ These face wipes are safe for most skin types due to the lack of irritating skin agents.  This is a great complement to the LiftFusion, as I will be using the two together!



Spa Package
 Spa Package ($15) ~ This spa set has 6 items.  It comes with an exfoliating back scrubber, a loofah sponge, mesh pouf sponge, two other exfoliating items, and a back massager.  The clear storage case is also nice.



Izzy & Ali

Izzy & Ali
 Izzy & Ali Coin Purse ($39) ~ Who knew vegan felt so luxurious!  The tassel adds the nicest finishing touch to this case.  I think I'll use it to store my shopping coupons.  I hate how messy they get in my purse.



LiftFusion Micro-Injected M-Tox Transdermal Facelift Fusion Beauty
 LiftFusion Micro-Injected M-Tox Transdermal Facelift by Fusion Beauty ($140) ~ Here is the main event!  This product boasts visibly firm, smooth, wrinkle-free skin, immediately!  What woman doesn't want this?  It's made with gaba and ha, an anti-wrinkle blend that smooths, fills, and firms fine lines and wrinkles.  You can find this product on Amazon for $14 from other retailers, but I would prefer buying it directly from Fusion Beauty.  The Amazon reviews said it smelled funny, which mine does not.  It feels like silk and  doesn't have a very distinctive smell at all.  Therefore, I don't necessarily trust the Amazon sellers and their low prices.



Socialbliss
The Style Box by Socialbliss is $39.95 plus shipping each month.  I get the three month subscription for a discounted price.  They are also working on adding more subscription options.  I LOVE this box and look forward to it each month!  

What are your thoughts on this box?

Bulu Box Weight Loss Review May 2014

My Bulu Box Weight Loss is here and I love how healthy this box makes me feel!  It's one of the more affordable subscription boxes out there and offers great health benefits.  Look for coupon codes before purchasing.  They offer great deals.

 This month's box offers a mix of vitamins, drink mixes, snacks, and a natural remedy.  The enclosed detail card always has helpful information about each product.



Top Secret Pump Igniter
 Top Secret Nutrition Pump Igniter ~ This is a pre-workout supplement designed to assist with energy, strength, endurance, and so much more.  I got the cherry limeade flavor and am saving it for a 5K this Thursday.  



FitMiss Burn
 FitMiss Burn ~ These capsules are formulated for women to help with weight loss.  They work as an appetite suppressant to curb cravings.  FitMiss Burn also increases energy, which in turn boosts metabolism.  Other benefits include balancing mood and reducing water retention.  Ingredients include green tea extract, caffeine, guarana seed extract, raspberry ketones, turmeric, and more.  You must drink a minimum of one gallon of water a day while on this product.



Power Crunch Protein Energy Bar
 Power Crunch Original Bar ~ This is the best protein bar I've ever had!  I just ordered more of these from www.bulubox.com.  I received the french vanilla creme wafer and love it!  It has fewer calories and less sugar than traditional protein bars.  They are made with fast absorbing Proto Whey, which helps crush hunger and build lean muscle.  I'm looking forward to seeing how much energy I get from a full size bar.



AminoActiv Capsules
 AminoActiv Capsules and Cream ~ I took two capsules yesterday for a headache.  It quickly eased and I was feeling better in no time.  I'm saving the other two for post 5K Thursday.  I'll be using the cream prior to running on my shins.  Both products are homeopathic anti-inflammatory treatments.  They are free of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).  NSAID side effects include stomach bleeding and kidney toxicity.  This seems to be a great alternative to Ibuprofen.



Smarty Pants Multi-Vitamins for Kids
Smarty Pants for Kids ~ This is an all-in-one multivitamin for children.  There are added omega-3 and vitamin D, that will provide a boost of health.  There is no added high fructose, corn syrup, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.  A serving size is 4 gummies and they are fruit flavored.



Manitoba Harvest HempPro 70
Manitoba Harvest HempPro 70 ~ You are looking at the world's first water soluble hemp protein powder.  It mixes easily with water for a creamy, delicious post-workout drink.  It can also serve as a hunger-stopping snack.  This product has added heart healthy omega-3 and 6 fatty acids.  A traditional 30g serving gives you 20g of protein and 3.4 g of omegas.



Subscription Boxes
If you are looking to live a healthier lifestyle, you should definitely check out Bulu Box.  There are a lot of companies out there creating natural, healthy products that aren't commercialized.  Bulu Box is your gateway to these products!

Socialbliss Style Box Review April 2014

After receiving this box, I feel more prepared for a girls' night out!  This month's Socialbliss Style Box values at $206. I'm signed up for the three month subscription, which makes each box $35 plus shipping and handling.  I'm getting a great deal!  :-) 
Socialbliss
 This is the second month in a row that they have featured a quote from a famous fashionista.  Love it!
SocialblissSocialbliss
 Every item is perfectly explained in writing.  The Socialbliss staff also includes a "how to" section for each product.  This is great info for those trying to become trendier!  There is also one full page dedicated to the spotlighted designer.



Socialbliss

Izzy & Ali
 Izzy & Ali Socialite's Night Out Bag ($129) ~ I love the color grey and am so glad I got this clutch!  It has a very classy look and actually holds a lot.  It even came with a dust bag.  Izzy and Ali is an L.A. based handbag manufacturer that creates luxurious, vegan handbags.  That's right folks, no cows were harmed in the making of this bag!  This designer can be found in Nordstrom boutiques and Von Maur stores.  



Stella Girls Night Out Nail Art Kit
 Stella Girls Night Out Nail Art Kit ($7) ~ Sparkles!  I guess even nails need a little bling.  There are a lot of little shiny gems in this package.  Looking forward to trying these out!



 The Little Black Compact ($5) ~ This isn't your boring flat compact!  The flower design makes this compact flirty and fun.  Inside is a regular mirror and a magnifying mirror.  It's also easy to find when fumbling around in my purse!



 Touch of Sparkle Cubic Zirconia Earrings ($50) ~ These earrings are rhodium plated in the color gold and made with cubic zircons.  One of mine broke while taking it out of the box.  I don't think it's repairable either.  



Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
 Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara ($15) ~ This is a nice mascara!  I've worn it all day and it still looks good.  It has unique peptides that provide a deep, intense black shade to your eyelashes.  The brush has thick bristles and a unique hourglass shape.  This mascara helps your lashes look full, defined, and long.



Socialbliss
The April 2014 Style Box by Socialbliss is full of exciting, fun products to help women look and feel fabulous!  My favorite item is the Izzy & Ali clutch.  I'm looking for a great chance to use it!
