Zilu Six-Port USB Charger Review


If you're like me and you have tons of electronics that always need to be charged at exactly the same time this is the item you've been looking for. When I was offered the opportunity to review this six port USB charger at a discount I jumped at the chance.


Even though the ports are labeled, you should be able to plug any USB into the different ports depending on the charging voltage needed for the device. For example the iPhone port is a max output of 5V/1A. If you connected the iPad to this port it would take longer to charge than if you used the one marked for an iPad which has a max output of 5V/2.1A. If you want to be sure that you are using the correct voltage/amps you can refer to the instruction sheet included in the packaging. It lists the max output for each port.



This item can be purchased here on Amazon for $19.99 which is a great price since so many items no longer come with wall adapters. This also takes up less space than having to have multiple adapters all plugged into a power strip. I only wish I knew about this product sooner. This will also be great to have on my next trip as some hotels don't have enough free outlets for charging. With this product you only need one outlet to plug into. 


Disclaimer: I received this product at a discount, however the above is my honest and unbiased review.

Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters


I got to sample a free bag of Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters thanks to Crowdtap. I've tried other Brookside chocolates before and I really enjoy how they taste. Making these crunchy by using multigrains (which are really rice crisps) only improves the taste. These crunchy clusters are delicious. They have the perfect combination of fruit, chocolate, and crunch. Even though they say they are dark chocolate the chocolate used doesn't have a bitter taste like some higher percentage dark chocolates. It was hard for me to stop eating. I could easily eat the entire bag in one sitting. I would recommend these to anyone that likes chocolate. If you like other Brookside chocolates, you will love these crunchy clusters.

Kleenex® Brand Tissues

I'm a member of the Crowdtap Kleenex® Brand rewards program, and Kleenex® Brand sent me these products to review. I received one box of Kleenex® Anti-Viral Tissues and one box of Kleenex® Tissues with Lotion.


The Kleenex® Anti-Viral Tissues have a blue anti-viral middle layer that helps kill 99.9% of cold and flu viruses. These came at the perfect time as my boyfriend had just come down with a cold. He said that these were soft, yet strong, and absorbent. I was glad to know that the middle layer would help kill his cold virus so that they wouldn't spread to me if left laying around. He's feeling better and now over his cold and I can say that I escaped without getting sick.


I love how soft the Kleenex® Tissues with Lotion are. It's never fun when you have a cold and have to repeatedly blow your nose. Regular, rough tissues will make my nose red, dry, and peeling. When using Kleenex® with Lotion, I don't have to worry about any of those problems because the aloe helps soothe my nose.

Crowdtap and Kleenex® Brand gave me a coupon to share. You can save $1.50 when purchasing two boxes of Kleenex® Lotion or Anti-Viral Tissues thanks to Kleenex® Brand Believers.

Listerine UltraClean Mouthwash


I don't normally use Listerine because when I tried it previously it was to strong for me. I was happy to get to try the New Listerine UltraClean thanks to the free sample that I received from Crowdtap and Listerine. Listerine UltraClean wasn't anywhere near as strong as the original. I could definitely tell that it was killing germs in my mouth and it left my mouth feeling clean and fresh. #sponsored

Scott Naturals Tube-Free


I received a sample of Scott Naturals Tube-Free bath tissue for free from Crowdtap. I am always looking for ways to reduce waste so it was nice not having to worry about recycling the left over toilet paper tube. I was really interested to see how the roll would hold up without the tube. When first putting the roll on the dispenser, the roll held up well. 


As the roll gets lower as you can guess the tube doesn't roll as smoothly without the tube, but it's not too bad. The toilet paper itself is soft, but a little on the thin side compared to what I usually use. It was really nice to simply put on a new roll and no need to take off the old, empty tube, and take it to the recycle bin. Overall, I was happy using Scott Naturals. If on sale or for the right price, I would consider using again in the future.

Caliente VoxBox


In my Caliente VoxBox I received five items; Rice Krispies Treats Blasted S'mores, Dove Pure Care Dry Oil Nourishing Treatment, Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch sunscreen, Kiss gel Fantasy nails, and Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting Liquid.

The Rice Krispies Treats S'mores was yummy and not too sweet at all. I liked the added chocolate. 


The Dove oil helped make my summer pony tail smooth and shiny. 


I used the Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen to protect myself from the hot 100 degree Texas days. 


My individual review on the Kiss gel nails is below, but I loved that they gave a quick manicured look. 


And Paula's choice was great for my skin. 



I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Kiss® gel Fantasy nails


In my latest VoxBox from Influenster I received Kiss® gel Fantasy nails. I love that the package included the option for you to use either glue or adhesive tabs depending on your preference. I prefer to use the adhesive tabs and they were super easy to put on. You apply the adhesive tab to your nails and then peel the top layer and press the nails on. I did have to press several times to get the air bubbles out since the color of the nails was flesh tone, but they were easy to apply and held well. There are plenty of different nail sizes in the package so you can find the right size. The package also comes with a file so that you can file down the nails if needed. I would definitely use these again for a quick manicured look when going out.
