Tryazon_ USAopoly Mario Card Game_Free Sample Party

Hello,

I signed up for Tryazon.com. It is an awesome community where you are able to set-up your personal profile then head over to the party applications page to start applying to host some awesome parties. They also have “TRYABOX” opportunities to receive products to test and review without having to host a party. The tryabox opportunities are far more limited than the party host opportunities but always keep an eye out for both types of ways to participate. The house parties are great, they send you a box full with all kinds of goodies to make your party great and there are sometimes coupons to purchase the specified products. There are always plenty of extra goodies to make the party fun but also to give away to your guests to take home. I have been lucky enough to host about 5 parties in the last year and have learned about so many great new products and companies so I definitely suggest signing up.

This time I was selected to host a party featuring a Mario Card Game from USAopoly.  The card game looked super fun because it has a theme that my son and his friends would like but is something that the whole family can take part in and is something that is away from the screens.

In the sample pack we received: 

• 2 copies of the Mario Card Game 
• 10 Informational booklets for guests about other USAopoly games 

We hosted the party at our house and invited over all of our friends and family to join us in playing this awesome game.  The game was very fun and very easy to understand which was great as it can be difficult to get a group of people to understand and play a new game together.  This was especially good because we had my our papa over who is getting quite a bit older and would have difficulty understanding the rules to a complicated new game.  We also liked that we were able to easily shorten the game by giving each person less life tokens to start with.  This allowed us to play a few different rounds of the game throughout the party and with different players. I also liked that the ease of shortening the game will allow us to play in the evening and still get to bed at a reasonable time.  We absolutely enjoyed this game and look forward to taking it to Thanksgiving dinner for the cousins to play together and maybe some adults would like to join in on the fun too.  I am a collector and lover of classic monopoly but having tried a totally new game from USAopoly I am now very interested in checking out some of the other great games offered by them that I saw both in the booklets and on the website.  Seems like its time to throw out some of the oldies and get some new games in the house!

The Upside_Conti Bar Soap_Free Sample Review

Hello,

I signed up for The Upside Sharing Network community which is an awesome place where you have the chance to collaborate with other like-minded individuals in discussions and missions. Through the missions you are asked to share about the community and your experience with the products on your social media outlets and also in person with friends and family. Sometimes the missions offer a free sample to try and then share about while others require sharing with the chance of winning a prize. I definitely suggest you check out The Upside Community because it’s a great time.

This time I was selected to receive a free sample of Conti Bar Soap.  

In the Sample Pack I received: 

• Mission Details Card with social sharing information
• 1 (3.7oz) Conti Castile Pure Organic Olive Oil Sensitive Skin Bar Soap

I tried this soap in the shower as a body wash soap and ended up thinking that this soap was alright but not anything special. I typically use the shower gel from Bath & Body Works which I know is not great for my skin but I love the amazing scents that I get out of their body wash. I was excited to try this bar soap because it is different than my usual soap as it is a bar rather than gel for starters. I also liked that this soap said that it is a sensitive skin soap so I thought that might be much better for my skin. After using this soap for the first time I thought that my skin felt sort of funny, it was not soft and silky as I am used to, nor was it dry but rather it felt almost like rubber; not soft to rub but also not dry and rough it was a strange feeling. I guess that strange feeling might be actual cleanliness rather than still having soap residue on your skin but I was not fond of it. I also was surprised to find that my skin was quite a bit itchier than usual which was interesting since this is supposed to be a sensitive skin soap I had expected less itchiness but instead got more. Overall this soap was alright and I will continue to use it until it is gone but it is not something that I would purchase in the future. If I am not getting the sensitive skin benefits and am still itchy then I will continue using my awesome smelling gel from Bath & Body Works.

DigiTry_ Isadora Refried Beans_ Free Sample Review

Hello,

I signed up for DigiTry, a website that I found where you are able to sign up then apply to sample a variety of products in exchange for trying them and submitting and honest review.  I had signed up a while ago and had applied for a variety of products that I was not accepted for but finally I was accepted to try Isadora refried beans.

In the sample Pack I received:

• Information sheet with information on where to submit my review
• 1 (15.2oz) package of Isadora refried beans, Original

I decided to make a full Mexican dinner one night, complete with homemade tortillas and a taco/burrito station for my family to make up their own meals with.  I knew I was going to make these Isadora beans to try but to be safe, I also made some homemade beans in the crockpot and thank goodness I did.  As soon as we opened the package of beans, we noticed from the smell and appearance that they were quite different from other refried beans that we typically eat.  They were orange in color and had a chili aroma to them which seemed strange.  We chose to heat them in a saucepan on the stove which worked well and then both my husband and I tried the beans.  We were both somewhat unimpressed with the flavor, I thought my husband captured it perfectly when he said "they are more like hormel chili than refried beans" and I would have to agree.  I think had we been expecting a chili bean we would have been more satisfied than expecting a refried bean taste.  I think these had a decent taste but were not what we are used to and were not the right flavor to add to the Mexican dinner we were having.  I do not think that my family would purchase these in the future because they were just not our style but I would be open to recommending them to others if they are looking for more of a chili style bean.  

From looking at the website, there are a variety of good recipes that I might like to try.  I think the beans that we received might be much better when combined with a recipe found on their website like the Tex Mex Pizza. I just might give these another try after having seen the recipes.

Ripplestreet_ Folgers 1850 K-Cup _Free Sample Party Review

Hello,

I signed up for Houseparty.fun which recently changed to Ripplestreet.com. It is an awesome community where you are able to set-up your personal profile then Head over to the party applications page to start applying to host some awesome parties.

There are also always plenty of extra goodies to make the party fun but also to give away to your guests to take home. I have been lucky enough to host about 5 parties in less than a year and have learned about so many great new products so I definitely suggest signing up.

This time I was selected to host a party featuring 1850 coffee k-cups thanks to the Ripplestreet site and Folgers Coffee.

In the sample pack I received:

• 1850™ Black Gold K-Cup® Pods (18ct Box) 
• 1850™ Pioneer Blend K-Cup® Pods (18ct Box) 
• 11 1850™ Tote bags
• 1 1850™ Block Stacking Game
• 11 1850™ Coupons Redeemable at Target
• 1 Set of 1850™ cups
• 1 Set of 1850™ napkins
• 11 1850™ Enamel Pins
• 11 Adventure Logs

I hosted the party with my friends and family and chose to structure the party as a relaxation day.  It was just starting to get a bit cold during the weekend that I hosted the party so it had the perfect feeling in the air for a day of sitting back and relaxing with those we care about.  The coffee was delicious and we were lucky enough to have all 4 flavors, Lantern Glow, Black Gold, Pioneer Blend, and Trailblazer.  Having all flavors allowed each of the party attendants to select the brew strength that they desire and I purchased a variety of creamer flavors so that everyone could find their perfect flavor.  We spent the party time sitting around watching a movie and casually playing the block stacking game that we received.  The block stacking game was essentially Jenga and my son was super excited to have received this after he had been asking for a set after we saw them at Oktoberfest.

Lantern Glow: My husband and mother liked this flavor best because it is a light roast.  My husband has only recently started to like coffee within the last year so he prefers the most lightly roasted coffee we can find so this was great for him.  As for my mother, she has been trying to cut back on the dark roast/ high caffeine coffee so this light roast was something that she was excited to try and was pleasantly surprised at her delight with the flavor.  My son also tried a bit of this coffee with his daddy, of course it was daddy style and they had a little bit of coffee with their cup of creamer.

Pioneer Blend: This light-medium roast coffee was also great for my mother and husband and really everyone at the party.  It is a great neutral coffee that is neither too light nor too dark.  I continued to give this blend to my husband for several days for work and he seemed to enjoy it each day.

Trailblazer: This medium-dark roast coffee was definitely more my speed than the others.  This coffee had a wonderful bold flavor but was not too overpowering for the caramel flavored creamer that I had put into it.  I snagged as many of these as I could for myself in the mornings and will certainly be purchasing more.


Black Gold: This dark roast blend was absolutely my favorite of the four brew strengths.  I prefer a dark bold roast for my coffee and this definitely satisfied without being too overpowering.  I have tried some dark roasts that can be like drinking motor oil whereas this one was dark and bold but allowed the creamer to do its job and contribute to the flavor.  I have already purchased another box of this flavor and will continue to switch between this and my usual favorite Starbucks flavor.

Moms Meet_Wild Planet Organic Tuna & Chicken _Free Sample Review

Hello,

I signed up for MomsMeet.com which is an awesome community of parents and caregivers that collaborate on information to help guide you and your family to a healthy better for you lifestyle. In this community, you can sign up to become either a mom ambassador or a blog ambassador. The mom ambassadors are women or moms that have a moms group where you will be able to share some great goodies with your group. The Blog ambassadors need to have a blog already set-up and make sure you know how to track your visitor usage before applying because they asked a million questions about how many visitors, followers, likes, etc. After becoming approved as either a mom or blog ambassador, you are then able to start applying to receive for free, test, and review some awesome products that you can feel good about giving to your family. In the community you can also participate in quests based on the sample applications and learn more about the products and earn some points for momsmeet.com. With your points you are able to redeem them for some goodies, occasionally they have surprise sample boxes available to redeem but I have not yet been lucky enough to catch them at the right time. Other than that I feel the prizes are pretty generic and are stuff I could print off of google myself so I do not want to redeem my points for those items. They just announced the implementation of badges, which I am super excited about. They have been mentioning badges for a while but it just started up where you can receive badges for completing quests, completing sample missions, joining in discussions, and more. I love the badges because it gives you a fun way to visually track your progress and remind you of the awesome sample meetings you have gotten to host. I also love that they offer coupons or discount codes for the products that they are featuring, I already saved 10% on trash bags from Amazon thanks to one of these codes for HippoSaks. Definitely checkout momsmeet.com to start contributing with other mamas and to have your chance at some great free items.

This time I was selected to participate in a Moms Group Sample Meeting with Wild Planet Organic Tuna, Chicken and Fish canned products.

In the Sample Pack I received:

• 1 Package of Sardines
• 1 Can of Organic Wild Albacore Tuna
• 5 Cans of Organic Chicken Breast
• 15 Recipe Cards 
• 15 Information Booklets 
• 15 Coloring Books for the kids - with a coupon on the back
• 1 Lunch Bag

I hosted my moms meet group sample meeting on a Saturday in October with my friends and family who were nice enough to join us. To test out the samples I thought it was best to make a standard chicken salad sandwich, everyone is familiar with this so it would give them a good sense of the taste of the actual chicken without masking it with more overpowering flavors. The chicken had a great taste and was so easy to make without having to drain any juice. It did take a bit more work to sort of pull apart the chicken into shreads but it was also nice to see that it was like real meat. One of the party guests mentioned that she would try her sample can at home by putting it into a chicken salad for a couple of lunches.

As for the sardines, none of the sample meeting attendees were interested in sardines but luckily they happen to be a favorite of my grandpas so I gave the container of sardines to him. He took them home and ate them with crackers and said that they were very tasty.
 As for the kids, they obviously were not overly excited about chicken salad sandwiches but they all enjoyed coloring in the cute coloring books that were provided and the mamas liked the coupon on the back so that they can pick up some more of these cans of chicken or tuna.

This time I was selected to host a moms group meeting to try Dukes Shorty Sausages.  

In the sample pack I received: 

• 1 Informational packet with nutrition information and flavors
• 3 Full Size (5oz) packages of Original Flavor Dukes Shorty Sausages
• 1 Snack Size (1.25oz) pack of Hatch Green Chile Shorty Sausages
• 1 Snack Size (1.25oz) pack of Hickory Peach BBQ Shorty Sausages
• 1 Snack Size (1.25oz) pack of Tomato & Basil Chicken Shorty Sausages.  

I hosted my moms group sample meeting on a Saturday in October and invited over family and friends to enjoy these awesome Duke’s Shorty Sausages. After having opened the package I was very surprised at the variety of flavors that these shorty sausages are offered in. I was also impressed with the small snack size packs because they are the perfect size for an on the go snack and great for my little one to take to school for a healthy snack. Overall, everyone who tried the sausages was impressed with the flavor and how much they liked them. A couple of the participants including my son were very skeptical prior to trying the sausages but everyone ended up liking them. As for my son it took some convincing to get him to take the first bite, but then before we new it he had eaten the whole thing and was asking for another.

I was certainly going to purchase more of these and was going to use the deal that was included in the sample pack to get 5 snack size packs for $6.50 (shipping included) but before I ordered I asked my sister which flavors she would like. At which time she told me that she didn’t want any more of these sausages because she had bitten into a hard white piece in the last one that she ate. I tried to assure her they it was only a hard piece of fat or something but she is convinced that it was bone and she will no longer eat these sausages. My husband has finished off what was remaining from the sample pack but I am somewhat on the fence about weather I would choose to purchase these or not. I think our best option will be to try out some of their other products like the brisket that are not sausage items.

Parent Cabin- Free Sample Box Review

Hello,

I signed up for Parent Cabin where you can create an account then check the sample area to apply for free samples to receive in the mail. When I first signed up, I was able to order a few samples that arrived together in a box. Unfortunately, the box was damaged by the post office but the samples arrived in a good condition so that was great.  It is also unfortunate that since receiving this first box, I have not yet received any more samples from Parent Cabin.  I would suggest signing up and giving it a try as I did receive some stuff but it seems to be hit or miss with this one and it is not one of my favorite sites.

In the sample box I received:

• 1 (11 fl. oz) bottle of AdvantEDGE Protein Drink in Chocolate Marshmallow flavor
• 1 Vagisil ProHydrate Personal Lubricant & Vaginal Moisturizing Gel 
• Coupon to save $3.00 off Vagisil ProHydrate
• 1 Kleenex Daily Cushion Cleanser Cloth 
• Coupon to save 20% on an online order from Kleenex

AdvantEDGE Protein Drink in Chocolate Marshmallow flavor: https://eas.com/advantedge-products
It was actually pretty funny with this product and I can easily say that my family absolutely did not like this.  I first gave it to my mama to try because I thought it would be good for her for a snack when she didn't want a full meal while dieting so she tried a sip and absolutely hated it.  She said that it tasted terrible so she gave it to my husband to try next.  He also thought that it was horrible after just one sip so then gave it to my younger sister to try.  She too hated it and by this time I knew there was no way I was going to try this thing.  We ended up just throwing it away mostly full because no one liked it.  We have tried some other powdered protein drinks in the past and liked those but every premixed protein drink we have ever tried we did not like and this was no exception.  I can definitely say that we will not ever be purchasing these in the future.  Seeing how we don't really like any pre mixed protein drinks I think that you may still want to try this one if these drinks are something that you typically like.  

Vagisil ProHydrate Personal Lubricant & Vaginal Moisturizing Gel: https://www.vagisil.com/products/prohydrate-natural-feel-internal-moisturizing-gel-personal-lubricant/
I actually have not used this product yet as I have not needed to but am keeping it on hand in case it will come in handy one day. Let's be honest though, from reading the instructions it seems a bit more awkward or a process though than using a typical lubricant so I don't know that I would like or start to purchase this product even if it were needed.

Kleenex Daily Cleansing Cushion: https://www.kleenex.com/en-us/products

Use the link to check out other Kleenex brand products as the daily facial line from Kleenex has been discontinued.  Apparently others must have felt as I did that these did not work as well as I had desired.  I used this cloth to clean my face in the evening after having showered and before bed to remove my makeup and clean my face for the next day.  I thought that the cloth felt nice and soft and was great to use but it did not do a great job of removing my makeup.  Especially my eye makeup, for which I had to use my usual makeup remover pads to get the job done.  I also noticed that after a couple of minutes that my eyes began to burn pretty bad.  I thought the softness was great but other than that I would not really like this product.  I think that other products I use are more effective that this one and apparently others felt the same.

Mom & Daughter PinchMe Boxes - Free Sample Review

Hello,
I signed up for PinchMe.com which is a fun website where you are able to log in for Sample Tuesday each month for the chance to receive some free samples to test and review on the PinchMe site. They have been building out the site recently to include surveys and other opportunities to contribute to the community but their main focus is still the monthly sample boxes with a variety of awesome goodies to test and review. You start by signing up and completing your profile so that they are able to match you with the offers that are best for you. Then on Sample Tuesday at the right time, log in and see if there are any samples available for you to add to your box, then checkout and wait for the goodies to arrive. This is completely free, you do not pay shipping or anything, I don’t even think there is a place to input payment information. After you receive products from PinchMe, they will have survey questions on their website for you to fill out but they don’t seem to be available long so make sure to complete them quickly. I have messed up and let a bunch of the survey questions expire by accident, I think this hurt my chances of receiving a box for a couple of months but it seems to be giving me samples again for the last few months so I will be sure to do the surveys this time.

Fructis 1 Minute Hair Mask: https://www.garnierusa.com/about-our-brands/fructis/1-minute-hair-mask
My mama has very dry hair so she used the hair mask and she said: The hair mask worked like a more concentrated conditioner, my hair was pretty soft all day even without using the leave in conditioner I usually use. I would buy this product.

Garnier Whole Blends Gentile Shampoo & Conditioner Oat Delicacy: 
 https://www.garnierusa.com/about-our-brands/whole-blends/gentle-oat-delicacy
My hair is very sensetive and I struggle whenever I change shampoo and conditioner so I gave this to my mama to try and she said: The shampoo and conditioner was not as good as I expected. You would have to shampoo your hair twice to get a good lather. The conditioner didn’t seem to really condition my hair like I would like for it to.

Starbucks® Plus Coffee K-CUP® Pods: https://athome.starbucks.com/starbucks-plus-coffee/
These Starbucks K-Cup pods are awesome and they do not taste all that different from the regular Starbucks K-cups so that was great for hubby.  I gave him the medium roast flavor for work without telling him then asked how it was and he really did not notice a difference between this and his usual Starbucks K-Cups that I make for him.  I then tried the dark roast and also liked it, it seemed about the same as the other Starbucks dark roast coffees that I purchase but I did notice that I did was a bit more energized than usual.  I would definitely think about purchasing these in the future but my office has an espresso machine so I already get my extra caffeine there most of the time. 

Heinz Mayo: http://www.heinz.com/products/heinzrealmayonnaise
This mayo is great and my family loves it.  I have been using both the sample packets and the free jars that we received to make sandwiches for my husband for work.  One day when I was making his sandwich with a different brand of mayo he said "hey, why aren't you using the good stuff".  I am glad that my family likes it as we have quite a bit for free thanks to the coupons that my mama and I received and I will definitely be purchasing more of this in the future when we run out.
Nexcare Waterproof Bandages: 
https://www.nexcare.com/3M/en_US/nexcare/products/catalog/~/Nexcare-Waterproof-Bandages/
The bandages worked alright but not quite as well as I would have hoped for them to.  I gave them to my husband after he had some cuts from work and they lasted quite a while through the evening but when it was time to shower they did get loose and come off in the shower more easily than we would have hoped.  I would probably purchase these again in the future depending on the price because I am not too picky about bandaids but they were nothing special in my opinion.

RippleStreet_Activia Dailies_Chatterbox_Free Sample Review

Hello,

I signed up for Houseparty.fun which recently changed to Ripplestreet.com. It is an awesome community where you are able to set-up your personal profile then Head over to the party applications page to start applying to host some awesome parties. They also have “chatterbox” opportunities to receive products to test and review without having to host a party. The chatterbox opportunities are far more limited than the party host opportunities but always keep an eye out for both types of ways to participate. The house parties are great, they send you a box full with all kinds of goodies to make your party great and there are always coupons to purchase the specified products (usually for free) or they will include the products in the package. There are also always plenty of extra goodies to make the party fun but also to give away to your guests to take home. I have been lucky enough to host about 5 parties in less than a year and have learned about so many great new products so I definitely suggest signing up.

This time I was selected for one of those Chatterbox opportunities for Activia Dailies probiotic yogurt drinks.

In the Chatterbox Pack I received:

• 1 Printed Activia Themed Shopping List
• 1 $5 Walmart Giftcard to purchase Activia Dailies

I went to my local Walmart and purchased a mixed pack of Strawberry and Blueberry flavored Activia Dailies drinks using the giftcard provided. I brought them home and let me tell you, they went like hot cakes. My husband ended up being the one to like them best, he said that he likes to drink them in the morning because they make his belly feel better.  He suggested that I try them but unfortunately I never had the chance as they were snatched up too quickly.  I will absolutely be purchasing more of these for my husband and I will be sure to buy enough that I will get some this time.  I have had one in the past at a hotel and I remember liking it and thinking it seemed just like an adult style Danimals yogurt drink.  I think my whole family loved these far more than many other products we have tried so these were a winner and an item I will have to continue purchasing.

1st Try: the first time I used this I started by straightening my hair as I always do then I sprayed my hair with this miracle spray then combed it through using my fingers. Almost instantly my hair began to feel weightless and fluffy. I loved the way I could comb my fingers through my hair without having tangles and it felt so smooth. I was a bit disappointed though in the volumizing effects as it did not add really and volume at all. Everyday I use a volume spray but did not this day so to see the actual effects of the Its A 10 product, for the next try I am going to use both sprays and see what I think. I’m hoping I can get the best of both worlds by doing this. 

2nd Try: I tried this spray for a second day, this time using both my usual volume spray and also this It's a 10 Miss America Miracle Spray. Having used both products I was much happier with the result of my hair and will enjoy continuing to use both products. I thought they adding my usual volume spray added just the right amount of volume to my hair while the miracle spray from Its a 10 left my hair feeling weightless and soft. I did notice that my hair was less soft and more tangled than the day before but it was softer than usual so it was a worthy trade off to have the volume too. I think the combination of the two products is the best of both worlds to get a weightless soft feeling while also adding volume to flat hair. 

The most important part is this It’s a 10 miracle spray smells amazing. I cannot stop smelling my hair for the last couple of days, I feel like I just left the salon.

Purina- Muse MasterPieces Dry Cat Food- Free Sample Review

Hello,

I received a Free Sample of Purina Muse MasterPieces Dry Cat Food, I believe I received this sample from signing up for the Muse Rewards program. The sample that arrived was a small (2oz) size bag of the Dry Cat food but also included a coupon to save $3.00 on one (1) 3.5lb or larger bag of Muse MasterPieces dry cat food. I later noticed that there was an additional coupon on the back of the sample bag to save another $3 off of a 3.5lb or larger bag of the dry food.   I gave the sample to both of my cats to share from one bowl so they took turns trying the food while I videoed them eating.  They both loved the food, in fact, Mr.Kitty was meowing for it before I even finished the unboxing video.  This food had meaty bites as well as the hard food bites and I think they really loved that.  Neither of my kitties really like wet food but I think these dry soft morsels were great for them to sort of switch things up.  I would love to continue purchasing this for them in the future but I am have struggled for find the MasterPieces in the stores near my home.  I was able to find the purina muse cat food but not the MasterPieces with the soft morsels. I will continue to keep an eye out for this food in case I can find it in the future, I will then start buying for my kitties.

Influenster Voxbox_ Apple & Eve Organics Juice Drinks _ Our Free Sample Voxbox

Hello,
I signed up for Influenster which is a great community where you are able to review any sort of product and can also read reviews that others have posted to the site. You are able to set up your profile to link with your other social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter and based on the number of followers you have you will be given an impact score. By continually engaging with the Influenster and the community, you may become eligible to receive free Vox Boxes where you receive free products to try in exchange for your review and social sharing. Occasionally, you will get offers for Virtual Vox Boxes and I definitely suggest you participate in those in order to have a better chance of receiving a physical box in the future. So go check it out!!!

This time we were selected to receive a free Apple & Eve Organics Voxbox with some awesome juice boxes for my little one in exchange for our honest review and posting on social media.

The Voxbox contained:

• 1 (6.75 fl. oz) Juice Box - Grape 
• 1 (6.75 fl. oz) Juice Box - Fruit Punch 
• 1 (4.23 fl. oz) Juice Box - Elmo's Punch 
• 1 (4.23 fl. oz) Juice Box - Big Bird's Apple 

My son was super excited to open up this Voxbox and to try out his juice samples. I had wanted to save them for school lunches but that was a lost cause as he was so excited to just try them during the weekend. My son absolutely loved all of the flavors and if I were to ask him I don't think he would really be able to select a favorite flavor. I liked the small size juice boxes for little ones but for my on who is 7 the larger size was even a bit small for him. We were at one of the club stores a few days ago when he pointed out these juices that we had tried so they definitely made an impression. I would think about purchasing these in the future but probably not very often because they are quite small for a kid of my sons age. Also, my son rarely takes lunch to school so these would end up being more of an at home drink and they would go very quickly as one is just not enough to satisfy his thirstiness.

Mom & Daughter PinchMe Boxes - Our Free Samples

Hello,

I signed up for PinchMe.com which is a fun website where you are able to log in for Sample Tuesday each month for the chance to receive some free samples to test and review on the PinchMe site. They have been building out the site recently to include surveys and other opportunities to contribute to the community but their main focus is still the monthly sample boxes with a variety of awesome goodies to test and review. You start by signing up and completing your profile so that they are able to match you with the offers that are best for you. Then on Sample Tuesday at the right time, log in and see if there are any samples available for you to add to your box, then checkout and wait for the goodies to arrive. This is completely free, you do not pay shipping or anything, I don’t even think there is a place to input payment information. After you receive products from PinchMe, they will have survey questions on their website for you to fill out but they don’t seem to be available long so make sure to complete them quickly. I have messed up and let a bunch of the survey questions expire by accident, I think this hurt my chances of receiving a box for a couple of months but it seems to be giving me samples again for the last few months so I will be sure to do the surveys this time.

My mom and I had each received a number of PinchMe boxes that we intended to open and review together but time kept slipping away from us and finally I figured I had better open these myself.  We are pretty excited to have received all of these great items to try out and we both have a couple of extra boxes that have been ordered that will be arriving in the next few weeks.  From these boxes out whole family was able to enjoy something new and I think especially our pets found a few new favorite items.

Here are the items that we each received in our boxes, I broke them down by what was in each box.

Alteril - All Natural Sleep Aid - https://www.alteril.com/

Clairol Nice N' Easy - https://www.clairol.com/en-US/products/hair-color/product/nice-n-easy

My mom used the coupons that we received for the hair dye and she liked it well enough.  She needed both coupons because she has very long thick hair so she always needs two boxes of dye to get full coverage. She picked a brownish/reddish color and it came out looking great and didn't look splotchy.  It really depends on what look you are going for with hair dye because this one was great for an all over natural look but not so much for a bold color change.  The color looked nice both in the house and in the sun but unfortunately it faded quicker than she would have liked for it to.  She typically uses other permanent dyes from Sally Beauty and is used to longer lasting color so I don't think she will continue to purchase this in the future but it was great for the short term.

Fructis Hair Masks - https://www.garnierusa.com/about-our-brands/fructis/1-minute-hair-mask
My mom said: The hair mask worked like a more concentrated conditioner, my hair was pretty soft all day even without using the leave in conditioner I usually use. I would buy this product.
Garnier Whole Blends Gentle Shampoo & Conditioner Oat Delicacy - https://www.garnierusa.com/about-our-brands/whole-blends/gentle-oat-delicacy
My Mom Said: The shampoo and conditioner was not as good as I expected. You would have to shampoo your hair twice to get a good lather. The conditioner didn’t seem to really condition my hair like I would like for it to.

Hallmark Just Because Greeting Cards -  https://www.hallmark.com/shop-just-because/
These cards are super fun to send for absolutely no reason but to say hello to someone you care about. These days with the ease of social media we connect constantly yet the human touch gets lost in the mix and there's nothing quite like receiving a hand written card.  It's just one of those things that has become so much more special as it seems to be fading away.  I will be sending one of these to a Great Uncle who lives out of state.

Pedigree Pouch Wet Dog Food - https://www.pedigree.com/dog-foods/wet
Our dog absolutely loved these.. but then again, what dog wouldn't go crazy for some delicious wet food in gravy.  Our dog typically eats just dry food, we occasionally give him wet food but not on a regular basis so he really loved this.  Having some dry food around the house is great to spruce up his meal a bit every now and then.  I love these new soft packages because they are so much easier to store and I honestly like the smaller amount that way I don't have to try to save the food in the can for later.  I also like that you can just squeeze the sauce out of the package as oppose to having to scrape it out of the can so that was helpful because I really don't like to touch the food myself.  I will absolutely be purchasing these for my dog in the future and just to keep at home for him for when he needs a special treat. 

Purley Fancy Feast Filets - https://www.fancyfeast.com/gourmet-cat-food/cat-treats/filets/natural-chicken?sort_by=rating&page=8

My cats absolutely loved their Purely Fancy Feast Filets.  They were both crying at me as I was trying to open the package and tear apart the filet for them.  I used a couple of forks and shredded the chicken filet in a similar way that I shred beef or pork for sandwiches at home for the family. This filet seemed to be a very good quality, to be honest it looked better than chicken that I have received in restaurants before so I felt comfortable feeding it to my cats and was sure that they would love it. They ate up the chicken and appeared to love it but it seemed like a lot of chicken for even two cats and I felt that they were letting quite a bit go to waste.  I think this could have been used for multiple occasions had I saved some of it to begin with.  If I were to purchase these in the future I would now know not to give them the whole thing at one time.

RXBAR Kids Protein Bar - https://www.rxbar.com/shop/rxbar-kids.html

Skittles Sweet Heat Candies - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXAoq-qDu6Y

My husband tried these and said that they were ok, we had received two sample packets and one of them is still lingering around the house because no one else has picked it up....apparently they weren't to die for.  I think they were a fun novelty product but I don't think they will stand the test of time.  We would rather have a package of regular flavored skittles any day.

My Mom Said: The slim fast bar was very good and satisfying. I don’t like bars that are very dense but these are easy to eat and very tasty. They are great if you have a sweets craving but want to stay healthy.

Tidy Cats Free & Clear Unscented Litter - https://www.tidycats.com/free-and-clean-cat-litter
Unfortunately for this one, I forgot about the coupon and I let it expire before I was able to pick up the cat litter but Tidy Cats is my preferred litter for my cats as it absorbs the best in my opinion and it helps to reduce the stinky smell.  I was really upset about forgetting this coupon as I can always use extra cat litter but I now that I know about this Free & Clear littler I will definitely have to check it out the next time I am shopping for pet products.  My only concern is that often it is the chemicals that help with the scent and absorption so I would hope that this litter would perform as well as the other Tidy Cats litters I have purchased before.

Ripplestreet_ Kikkoman Kids Cooking Party_ Free

Hello,

I signed up for Houseparty.fun which recently changed to Ripplestreet.com. It is an awesome community where you are able to set-up your personal profile then Head over to the party applications page to start applying to host some awesome parties. They also have “chatterbox” opportunities to receive products to test and review without having to host a party. The chatterbox opportunities are far more limited than the party host opportunities but always keep an eye out for both types of ways to participate. The house parties are great, they send you a box full with all kinds of goodies to make your party great and there are always coupons to purchase the specified products (usually for free) or they will include the products in the package. There are also always plenty of extra goodies to make the party fun but also to give away to your guests to take home. I have been lucky enough to host about 5 parties in less than a year and have learned about so many great new products so I definitely suggest signing up.

This time I was selected to host a Kikkoman Kids party for all of my son and all of his friends and cousins.

The party pack included:

• $25 Giftcard 
• 1 Kikkoman Soy Sauce Tips Booklet
• 12 Kikkoman Aprons
• Markers to color the Aprons
• 12 Coupons for a free Kikkoman Product
• 12 Kids Kikkoman Recipe Booklets 

We hosted our party at our

house and invited over friends and family to enjoy some kids cooking time with Kikkoman products.  We started off the party by coloring our awesome aprons so that each of us could show off our own style for cooking time.  This part was super fun to see each persons creativity.  In the recipe booklets that we received with the sample pack, there was a recipe to make teriyaki meatballs and I thought that would be a great idea for kids to learn to make something.  There was also the recipe for the corn on the cob but we tried that with the adult Kikkoman grilling party and it did not turn out as well as we would have liked so my son and I chose not to do that one again.  For the meatballs, I went to Costco and purchased a large pack of ground beef then separated it into 1lb packages for each person to use to make meatballs.  I also went to the Dollar Tree and picked up a variety of dishes and pans so that everyone had their own separate cooking station.  The group of kids that showed up for the party were all boys and they were all unsure about cooking at first but I assured them that they could do it and by the end I think they had a bit of fun.  Certainly the youngest had fun and he enjoyed the meatballs for a snack.  The meatballs were super easy to make which was great as the oldest kid is only 8 years old and they cooked pretty fast but the kids did get bored in between and ran off to play Pokemon cards.  I think that the adults enjoyed the flavor of the meatballs more than the kids did but they each said that they were ok.  Overall, we thought this was a super fun party to host and the kids had a blast getting together while I loved getting to teach them something new.  

One of the boys did not want to cook so I told him "you will want to know how to cook something because one day you will have a girlfriend and you will want to cook her a dinner and stuff" after
which he tells me "no way, I don't want no girls, I'm just going to hang with cousins".

KY Social Network_ Natural Feeling Personal Lubricant _Free Sample

Hello,

I signed up for the KY Social Sharing Network community which is an awesome place where you have the chance to collaborate with other like-minded individuals in discussions and missions. Through the missions you are asked to share about the community and your experience with the products on your social media outlets and also in person with friends and family. The sharing can be as personal as you wish it to be and you do not have to share any sensitive information which could be involved with this subject. Sometimes the missions offer a free sample to try and then share about while others require sharing with the chance of winning a prize. I definitely suggest you check out the KY Community because it’s a great time.

This time I was selected to participate in a mission that involved receiving and testing a new product.  This can be a little tricky with sharing so I will stick to my thoughts based on my observations while unboxing and opening the product.   

In the sample pack I received: 

• The Mission Details Card
• 1 (1.69 fl. oz) bottle of KY Natural Feeling Personal Lubricant with Aloe Vera 

This personal lubricant seemed really nice from what I have seen so far from opening the package, and I love that it has Aloe in it.  The lubricant does not have a scent which is nice and it was a liquidy consistency rather than having a sticky feeling like some lubricants can.  Although it was more of a liquid consistency it was thick enough that it did not come pouring out of the bottle which was also appreciated because it didn't make a large mess.  As with most lubricant just a bit goes a long way so this bottle will last a while and I think I would definitely consider purchasing this in the future after having tried it.  I would certainly recommend giving it a try.

My Magazine _Back to School Mission_Free Samples

Hello,

I signed up for the Kroger My Magazine Sharing Network community which is an awesome place where you have the chance to collaborate with other like-minded individuals in discussions and missions. Through the missions you are asked to share about the community and your experience with the products on your social media outlets and also in person with friends and family. Sometimes the missions offer a free sample to try and then share about while others require sharing with the chance of winning a prize. I definitely suggest you check out the Kroger My Magazine Community because it’s a great time.

This time I was selected to participate in the Back to School mission to help get back into the swing of things with school starting back up for the year.  In this sample pack I received a lot of coupons and unfortunately all of them had expiration dates right after I opened the package so I had to make some quick decisions and had little time to share the coupons beyond leaving them on the shelf at the store.  I have had this complaint in the past about the My Magazine missions that the coupon dates are not far enough in the future.  I have also noticed that the missions seem to correspond to the themed sales in the stores and often the products for the mission are also on sale.  This is great for saving money for the mission but it can be difficult to find the products required as they are often sold out.

In the sample pack I received: 

• 1 Kroger Lunchbox
• 1 Coupon for 1 Free Market & Mill Bread 
• Extra Coupons for Market & Mill bread 
• 1 Coupon for 1 Free any size box of Kroger Sandwich Baggies 
• Extra Coupons for Kroger Sandwich Baggies
• Coupons for $0.50 off 2 Kroger Fruit Snacks 
• Coupons for $0.60 off 2 Kroger Carrot Snack Packs 
• Coupons for $0.75 off of 16oz Kroger Lunch Meat
• Coupons for $1.00 off Snack Variety Packs 

The Lunchbox: The lunchbox is awesome for me to take to work since my son is a bit embarrassed to take this one to school with him.  My son typically gets a hot lunch at school so often does not take a lunch with him and he has a Pokemon lunchbox that he uses so does not like this one but it is a great item for me for work.  It is obvious that this is someones lunch rather than putting it in a plastic bag so I don't run the risk that someone might accidentally take my lunch from the office refrigerator.  I also like that it has two pockets so that I can separate some items into the front if I do not want them getting crushed with the rest of my food.  This box also has great insulation, I have about an hour drive from home to the office and this keeps my food cold the whole time.  I would definitely look into purchasing Kroger brand lunch boxes and coolers in the future based on my experience with this one.  

Market & Mill Bread: I was unable to get this bread because my store apparently does not carry the Kroger Market and Mill bread.  I asked the worker if I could purchase another Kroger bread in replacement but the very unfriendly manager was on duty that day and would not allow me to do so.  I would definitely have liked to try this bread as it looked great in the pictures I saw but I will just have to wait and see if my store ever carries it.  I was surprised that my store did not have it because we typically are the store that tries out all of the new products so it is strange for us to not have a product but I guess this one is carried at other Kroger locations around the country and not King Soopers where I shop.  

Kroger Sandwich Baggies: This was an amazing deal on the baggies, I read the coupon details several times over to be sure I was doing the right thing but it said ANY SIZE.  Thanks to the Any Size detail, I was able to get a 180ct package of sandwich baggies for my family.  I have been very impressed with these baggies, in the last few years I have felt that the quality of Ziploc brand baggies has gone downhill and the often rip or leak but I have not had any issue with these Kroger bags so far.  I have not used them enough to go so far as to say they are much better than Ziploc but they are certainly equivalent in quality in my opinion.  

Kroger Fruit Snacks: I chose not to purchase these because we typically purchase large quantities of fruit snacks from Costco or Sams Club and the coupons provided did not give enough savings to make this a great deal.  When my son was younger we did purchase these quite often and I love that they are often themed for the holidays making it exciting for the kids, they have a great taste and we loved them but they just do not have the right price for quantity options in comparison to bulk purchase stores.  

Kroger Carrot Snack Packs : I thought these packs were so cute and I thought they would be great for the family but in reality they are not as practical as they seem.  Plain carrots are not the greatest and my son struggles to have time and space to have carrots with dip at school so that didn't work out for us.  As for myself, I often have carrots with ranch dip at work but found these little packages to be too small for the quantity I wanted.  I think for myself it is easier and a better deal to just purchase a regular bag of carrots and serve the amount I want each day.  This is where the lunchbox comes in handy to store my bag of carrots in the work refrigerator.

Overall we love Kroger products, and we already knew we did, so this was an awesome mission to participate in!
