Influensters GoVoxBox Review!!

Hey ladies! Sorry it's been awhile for any posts. Things have been crazy busy here lately! 6 months pregnant and so much to do! Anyway, I recently got an Influenster Box to review. The GoVoxBox. In it I found, ProFoot Triad Orthotics, ProFoot Pedi-Rock, Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Tampons, a packet of Blue Diamond Blueberry flavored Oven Roasted Almonds, 3 Packets of Next Step Fit N' Full Shakes From the Vitamin Shoppe along with a coupon for it and a Vitamin Shoppe Jaxx Shaker Cup, Aqua Spa Relax Body Creme, and a coupon for a free Muller Yogurt! So now for my personal reviews on each product I received complimentary of Influenster for testing purposes. :)




ProFoot Triad Orthotics- I was really excited when I saw these because being that I'm 6 months prego, I've been having some trouble with my hip. I have been having to go to the Chiropractor to help relieve the pain. So of course I asked him first if these would be ok. He took a look at them and said yes! Woo hoo! Since then, I've been testing them out in my flat closed toe shoes. They really added extra support that I've been needing. And they seem to relieve some of the pain in my hip when I wear them. I've had problems with my knees in the past and these have definitely seemed to help with that too especially if I'm doing a lot of standing or walking! They're very comfortable and would definitely recommend them. They're also very affordable and I believe you can find them in Walmart. 

ProFoot Pedi-Rock- This is such a great product! I had never heard of it until I saw it in my VoxBox. This was the very first thing I tried. Brought in the shower with me and scrubbed away at my feet. I couldn't believe the difference it made. I use it twice a week now. I usually get dry feet in the winter so I end up spending the summer trying to get smooth, soft feet again. This worked wonders! And the shape of the "rock" is very unique. It's designed so you can easily scrub different areas of your foot. I loved how it conformed right to the arch of my foot! It's squishy & soft but rough on the outside. Also inexpensive. This is another product I would recommend to anyone suffering with dry, peeling feet or anyone who just wants a good scrub. 

Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Tampons- Now obviously being prego, I don't need these! Hahaha! But thankfully, I have tried these in the past and do like them. Especially for when I'm headed to the gym. I'm very picky when it comes to Tampons. I don't get any house brands like I would with other items. I mean they're tampons, and they're for a very uncomfortable time of them month, so I only go with a good brand here!! The Fresh Balance Sport tampons are great for women who are very active. I've never had any issues with them when I go to the gym. They're comfortable. And they have a nice fresh scent that I like. If you haven't tried these, then go get some...now! :)

Blue Diamond Blueberry Flavored Oven Roasted Almonds- YUM is all I can say here! I had never tried these before and I have to admit I was a little hesitant when I saw they were blueberry flavored. I thought it was going to be a weird combination, but I was very wrong! Not only are they healthy because they are almonds & rich in Vitamin E, but they are delicious! Not overly sweet, and just the right amount of blueberry flavor. This is a new favorite snack of mine now. It's the perfect healthy on the go snack for me while pregnant. My 3 year old even likes these! Definitely another must try. Looking forward to getting more and trying some of the other flavors. (Raspberry & Strawberry) 

Next Step Fit N' Full Shakes & Jaxx Shaker Cup- I had to ask my doctor first if I could try this while pregnant. She said it would be fine as long as I wasn't drinking it through my entire pregnancy since it is to help with weight loss. They recommend these to go along with " a healthy diet and exercise program" and even while pregnant I still go to the gym. So I drank these in the morning before my gym workouts. They are packed full of protein, fiber & Tonalin CLA which helps support reduction of body fat and increase lean body mass. The shakes help reduce hunger and cravings. There are 14 grams of protein per serving! Now I can't tell you how they work long term. I'll have to wait awhile for that. What I can tell you about is the shake itself and the shaker cup. Influenster gave me 3 flavors to try: Fresh Berries, Swiss Chocolate & French Vanilla. They Swiss Chocolate & Fresh Berries were my favorite. The flavor reminds me of a SlimFast Shake. Not hard to swallow at all. I mixed it with 8oz. cold water like the packet says and shook it all up with the Shaker Cup. I was impressed with how well the Shaker Cup worked! There were a few small lumps in there so I think next time I'll pour the liquid in first and then the powder. But it's so much quicker than getting the blender out. Can't wait to use this again after my pregnancy! 

Aqua Spa Relax Body Creme- I absolutely loved this! I'm all about relaxation and lotion/cremes that help you relax. I have a couple of Bath and Body Works Stress Relief and Relax lotions on my nightstand which I use before bed. So when I saw the Aqua Spa I was SUPER excited to try it!! It's Lavender & Chamomile scented. It's one of those scents that when you smell it, your mind and body just say "Ahhhh!". The creme itself is rich so it moisturizes really well and left my skin super soft. It's also infused with "Marine Youth Complex" diminishes the signs of aging, so that's always a plus! This product retails for about $9.99 which is a great price and actually a little cheaper than what I pay for the ones at Bath & Body Works. I've been using this every night before bed to help me relax. I think this is my FAVORITE product I received in the GoVoxBox! 

Muller Yogurt- As I mentioned before, I got a coupon to try a free muller yogurt. I love yogurt, so off to the store I went and grabbed the Dark Chocolate & Raspberry flavor. Yum! I was surprised when I opened this. I thought it would be raspberry yogurt with bits of chocolate to pour on top like most flip cups are. But instead I found a really creamy yogurt with bits of chocolate and a delicious raspberry sauce to pour on top! I've tried numerous flip cups which I love but this one was just so good and so decadent with the sauce! I almost felt guilty about eating it. Haha! I've already been back to the store to stock up on a few other flavors to try. I love how it fills my prego craving for something sweet and healthy too!
