I love sugar, but if I use a sugar substitute, I will be using...

So I was chosen for a sample and share from sweet n low on crowdtap. This is what I got in the mail.

So there was a card with instructions on the sample and share.. samples to pass out (which I did, with mixed reviews) and a full size box of sweet n low, oh and recipe cards with drink ideas.  I honestly have not tried sweet n low in years. If I use a sugar substitute I generally use truvia since it comes from the stevia plant and seems to be more natural and not man made like many other artificial sweeteners.  I tried splenda when that came out on the market but that was literally the worst experience of my life, it unleashed hell on earth on my stomach. Never again.  Well anyhoo, so I planned to try sweet n low in my tea today, and it was ok at first, and now I am literally sitting here on my laptop with a tummy ache and a half full glass of tea.  Yeah, my tummy is not liking it.  So I will not be trying these recipes that were provided just for the simple fact my stomach hates this.  Sorry sweet n low, good try, but my sensitive stomach says next please.  Thanks for the sample though, I appreciate freebies in this case so I know if I can handle it or not.  BTW blogger fam, I have a lot of stomach issues that prevents me from eating certain things, so I am not being over dramatic, I just have a severely sensitive tummy.

Influenster TLC VoxBox

Hey guys! So today will be one of my review days!  If you haven't heard of influenster, then you need to get on it.  This is a website that offers you the opportunity to review products, earn some 'street cred' per say on the website, do some surveys and then you may qualify for options to test different products and scream from the rooftops whether you love or hate them!  And guess what, it is absolutely free. 
So I have only been on influenster for a little while and to my surprise I was selected for the TLC Vox Box. This Vo Box was aimed towards mommies, which of course I am so I was like saweeet!  This box included quite a few items: a bar of ivory soap, a full size avon anew reversalist creme, a puffs to go for the purse, a shell fuel rewards card, a neosporin neo to go which is also full size, and last but certainly not least, a coupon for a breyers gelato.  All of these items were great and I can definitely understand why they are aimed towards us mommies!  This box definitely had me experiencing some new things. its a rare occasion that I go to shell for gas, but now I have been going there to earn rewards.  Also I was able to use pinterest to get some fun ideas for different crafts to do with the ivory soap with my son.  Lastly, the gelato was absolutely fantastic! Although the cashier at the store I went to gave me a hard time about using the coupon.  Insert eyeroll here!!  I also tried the avon, but I really don't have a lot of wrinkles to begin with so I honestly have not seen a true difference.  The puffs and neo are still in my purse because those are definitely mommy essentials. 

I was provided all of these products free by influenster for product testing and review.

Yet another attempt at blogging for me, hopefully this time I will not fail.  A little about me, I am about to be 30 next month, been married since 2009 and had a beautiful baby boy in 2008.  I will probably talk about a lot of random things in this blog, so stay tuned.  I am passionate about many things. Jesus, my family, health and exercise, couponing, and trying new products!

I will write reviews from time to time on new products I receive via many different outlets that I use, so be on the lookout for those.

Also, I am currently on a weight loss journey, so I will be blogging about that as well.  I have currently lost 36 pounds but I am waaay off from my pre pregnancy weight.  I have yet to decide what my goal weight is, haha! Losing any is better than losing none for me!

I'll keep this short and sweet, it's late, but hopefully I will have time to blog more and be consistent this time!

Ciao Bellas!
