Vitality VoxBox

A few weeks ago I received the Vitality VoxBox from Influenster and I was really excited! Until I opened it.

I would like to say I went through the box and tried everything and loved it, but that's not what happened. Honestly, I just think I was a terrible fit for this box.

The contents were:
  • First Degree Advanced Burn Cream - I would only need this in case of emergency, none happened.
  • Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Tampons- I don't use tampons.
  • Elizabeth Arden FLAWLESS FUTURE Powered by Ceramide Caplet Serum- I might use this, but I don't have enough visible aging to think it will show a dramatic difference.
  • Pure Leaf Iced Tea- I don't drink sweet tea.
  • Bikini Ready Energy Gummies- I'm hesitant to try these since I ended up in the ER the last two times I drank energy drinks. 
  • and a Softlips Cube- I only use one kind of lip balm, and it's not SoftLips.
I did try two of the products enough that I could review them, however:

The Pure Leaf Iced Tea tasted a lot like every other bottled iced tea I've ever tried. Even the best pre-made teas always taste like lemon. The Pure Leaf wasn't bitter or cloudy, it tasted fresh, but the citric acid used as a preservative made it taste like lemon and I hate lemon in iced tea. I normally drink unsweet tea, but removing the sugar wouldn't have helped the citrus/lemon taste. If you like lemon in your tea this is probably great, but if you don't like lemon in your tea then you shouldn't even bother. 

As soon as I opened the box I saw the SoftLips Cube. The packaging is cute but the size and shape of the lip balm "ball" makes application a little awkward. The package came open in my purse, and when putting the lid on I often hit the lip balm with the lid, removing chunks accidentally. I could overlook all of the negatives if it were a great lip balm, but it's not. My lips felt drier after putting it on. After using it several times by lips started burning because they were just that dry. Unless you already use and love SoftLips products I really can't recommend this. 

I can't really review the other things at this point since I haven't tried them yet.

DISCLAIMER: I have received ‘Influenster’ products complimentary for testing purposes and I was not paid for my opinion.

Sunshine Vox Box

I got my Sunshine VoxBox a few weeks ago and it had a lot of great stuff in it! Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Spray Sinful Colors nail polish in Ocean Side Infusium 23 Leave in Treatment with Avocado and Olive Oil Dickinson's Witch Hazel Cleaning Cloths (and some coupons) A coupon for a free bag of Bark Thins, I got the Blueberry Quinoa variety Blue Diamond Sriracha Almonds Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Spray: The Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe spray lotion spray smells great, it's light, quick, easy to apply, and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. The smell is kind of strong but it fades quickly. Unfortunately it's not heavy enough for my super dry skin, even with the summer humidity. This would be great for people who want light moisture without getting it on their hands or leaving a greasy feeling. Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Ocean Side: I love Sinful Colors nail polish. It comes in a huge variety of ...

There was an incident...

Yesterday was shot day. Three pens, as expected, no big deal. Except one of my pens misfired. The needle didn't even touch the skin. I pressed down, counted to ten, pulled it away, and the Humira started spraying. I put my hand over the end to catch to fluid so that it didn't spray all over the carpet. According to the Humira rep with AbbVie this is a normal mechanical failure. I explained the incident, gave them some info from the package, and as soon as they confirm with my doctor a new pen will be on the way. I have extras in the fridge, so no lapse in dosing. Still, injecting is anxiety inducing enough without equipment failure. The other problem: I noticed two lumps in my right arm pit on Thursday morning. Around 9 AM it was the size of a ping pong ball. I sat in Sus' house all day while she cleaned, unable to help her because the building pain was just too much and movement would only make it worse. By dinner time it was roughly the size of a tennis ball, and more...

Humira, Life at 120MG

I took two pens on Thursday (6/29/17) and another one today (6/30/17) and I am EXHAUSTED. No idea if it's helping yet, but the shots seem to make me hungry. Reminder: I am on Humira for Crohn's Disease, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, psoriasis, and polymyalgia rheumatica.
