VM Audio Earbuds

I received these free of charge in exchange for a review of the product. Initially when I saw the price of these in-ear headphones, I was worried that the sound quality would not be very good. Surprisingly, they aren't bad. I used them with my iPhone while out running and walking and they stayed in place perfectly. I loved the fact that because there are three different ear tips that you can use; I was able to get the perfect fit. 

With other in-ear headphones where you can't change the size of the tips, they usually hurt my ears after a while or fall out because they are too big. I was able to switch to the smallest size tip and had a very comfortable fit and didn't even realize that they were there. I also liked the fact that the cord is long enough so that you can clip it and it's not pulling while you're running or walking. I would say that I did have to turn up the volume on these a little more than my higher quality headphones, but for the price of under $5 you can't beat that. This model (SREB3) is available in several other color combinations from Amazon or the VMInnovations website.

Campbell's Go Soup

As a Smiley360 member, I got to try Campbell's Go Soup Spicy Chorizo & pulled chicken with black beans for free. I have to admit that I was afraid that it might be too spicy for me. While I do like a little spice for flavor, I don't like my food to be extremely spicy. After trying this soup, I can tell you that it has a perfect blend of flavors. The spicy sausage, is not too spicy at all and goes well with the pulled chicken, black beans, and corn. It's also very easy to heat up. You just tear a corner to let the bag vent and throw it in the microwave. It even has little finger print marks on the package showing you where to hold it when pulling out of the microwave. All you need is a bowl and spoon to enjoy your soup. I will definitely be purchasing this soup to keep at home and work because it is so convenient and tasty.

Milk Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Peeps S'mores

Do you love chocolate and marshmallows? Do you love Peeps? Then these are for you. At work we decided to try and make S'mores with these chocolate covered Peeps. A co-worker brought in some graham crackers and I pulled out my box of chocolate covered Peeps. Yes, these are so good that I buy them by the box.

We debated as to how long we should put the Peeps in the microwave; 20 seconds, 30 seconds or longer. That answer is still up for debate as we decided that we each like a different level of melted chocolate and marshmallow. You'll want to put your graham cracker and Peep on a plate as the marshmallow will leak out as the chocolate melts. Watch and make sure that you stop the microwave when the marshmallow and chocolate is nice and melted. You'll pull out your plate and be careful as the marshmallow is still warm when you first pull it out of the microwave. Smash down the marshmallow and chocolate and enjoy your S'more. We've been enjoying these at work as an afternoon snack for days now. It's great because you don't need separate marshmallows or chocolate, just grab your graham crackers and chocolate covered Peeps and make some S'mores.

The Taste: Tuesday at 8|7c on ABC

If you enjoy watching cooking reality shows, then you'll definitely like The Taste on ABC. What I love about The Taste are the "blind" tastings and the fact that you have all different levels of cooks on the show, there are trained chefs and home cooks. The show began with audition rounds and from those rounds, each mentor chose four contestants to be on their teams. The four mentors are Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Ludo Lefebvre, and Brian Malarkey. There is an immunity round where each team picks one contestant from their team to be judged and have the opportunity for immunity. In the next round, every contestant has their spoon judged. The judges/mentors will select their best and worst tasting spoons. They won't know who cooked which item and can eliminate their own team members. Two are eliminated each week. It's funny to watch the contestants all interact and cook together as well as watching the judges/mentors constantly tease each other throughout the show. The show like any reality show has lots of drama. There is the contestant that everyone loves to hate and those that you're rooting for and hoping to win. If you haven't checked it out yet and love to cook or watch cooking shows, this is one show that you won't want to miss. Here's a link to the latest episode of The Taste.

Glade Expressions®

I was selected for a Glade Expressions® campaign from BzzAgent and was excited to be able to try these two products from Glade. I received my coupons last week to try these two products for free, the oil diffuser and the fragrance mist. I tried on several occasions to find a Walmart that had more than a few of the scents available. After trying three different Walmart stores and a few other stores I went ahead and used my coupon to get the pineapple & mangosteen oil diffuser starter kit and the cotton & italian mandarin fragrance mist. I was hoping to find the fuji apple & cardamom spice varieties, but had no luck. I do prefer the bamboo holder that comes with the kit that I got versus the plain white in the other available scents. I just set up the pineapple & mangosteen oil diffuser this afternoon and will do a review after a few days to see how well the scent lasts.

Schick Hydro Silk® razor

I usually just use disposable razors and was pretty happy using those since they are so cheap that I was excited when I was chosen for one of my very first Bzz Campaigns from BzzAgent and got to try this product for free. I couldn't wait to see if these really felt any different. Well right away, I loved the handle and how much easier it was to hold the razor. I usually don't like moisturizing serum on razors since they usually just gunk up the blades, but this wasn't bad, it was just the right amount to provide moisture to my legs when shaving, but not enough to be messy. I was actually surprised and even touched the serum portion to see if there was any, and in fact there was. It's been a few days since I used this razor and my legs still feel pretty soft and smooth. I would say that this definitely gave me a closer, smoother shave than my normal disposable razor.

Palmolive Fresh Infusions

Palmolive® Fresh Infusions™ is the first VoxBox that I received from Influenster. I was given these products to test for free. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and found three full-size samples. The three scents are Lemon Thyme, Lime Basil, and my favorite Ginger White Tea. Also, in the box were coupons to share with friends. Here's a photo of the bottles and my cat Whiskers. He had to come up and smell the wonderful scents himself. Thank you Influenster and Palmolive®.
