Personalogy Game


I had the fun experience of hosting a Personalogy Game night thanks to Tryazon. What a fun game! At our party, we talked about Tryazon and the cool experience it is to share products with friends. We enjoyed snacks and chocolate. And, of course, we played some games, highlighting the Personalogy game! My friends and family loved the fun and interesting questions posed by the Personalogy cards. I felt it was a good way for us to get to know one another better, and find out hilarious and fascinating facts about each other. From serious to silly, the questions really got us talking. My favorite way to play was to not keep score but rather focus on the person whose turn it was. My competitive family liked the score-keeping, however, as they vied for the most points. I highly recommend this game as a fun competitive game for good friends, or an ice-breaker at house parties, or a getting-to-know-you question set for new friends.

#BloomVoxBox from Influenster

I received the #BloomVoxBox free from Influenster! This box was packed with fun little goodies.
This VoxBox included the following items:

  • Sunbelt Bakery Bar in chocolate chip - I enjoy Sunbelt Bakery Bars. They are soft and chewy. The flavors are always great! The chocolate chip flavor, in particular, is sweet and has the perfect amount of chocolate. It satisfies my sweet tooth without overwhelming it. I have tried other varieties of Sunbelt Bakery Bars in the past, as well, and I have always been pleased with the quality and taste. My favorite is the fudge-dipped coconut bar! If you have a chance to try or buy Sunbelt Bakery Bars, I highly recommend it.
  • Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil - This was a new product for me. I had used oil products in my hair before, but never a dry oil like this. I enjoyed treating my hair - I applied it to my hair then wrapped it in a warm towel. It took a little longer than any other oil product I've used in my hair, but I liked that I could get other things done during the treatment. My favorite use is just on my skin. I like to use it on my legs in particular, especially as summer is coming. My leg skin tends to be dull and dry. The oil helps my skin to be more vibrant and healthy-looking.
  • Not Your Mother's Plump for Joy Thickening Hair Lifter - A fun easy product to add to your hairstyling routine. I love using this to plump my hair and give my volume. I get tired of the daily mom ponytail or messy bun. This thickening hair lifter allows me to quickly give my hair some texture and volume, and give me a confidence boost while at it!
  • Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Teal Midnight - I love the dark color of this polish! It has a great sparkle to it as well. My daughter loves the glitter, and my son loves that it's blue. :) The polish goes on easily. I covered it with a clear topcoat to help prevent chipping. With the topcoat, it hasn't chipped much. The color stays on well and is vibrant. I recommend this as an affordable, fun nail polish.
  • Secret Outlast Xtend - A great little stick of deoderant to use when I'm working out. I've begun my training for a half-marathon, and I'm participating in a lazyman ironman, so I've been moving a lot more lately than I have in the past. The Secret Outlast Xtend helps to minimize the sweat and the stink, so I can come home feeling a little fresher than I would otherwise.
  • Cutex Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads - Whenever I'm removing nail polish, I'm lucky if I can find a cotton ball/swab to help, and then I usually have to go through two or three. I often have to resort to wetting a tissue with the polish and getting little white tissue flakes everywhere. I love these polish remover pads because they are super convenient to use! No trying to dump (and spill!) polish remover from a bottle. No looking for something to apply the polish remover. A lot less mess! Plus, these pads work for removing polish from all my toes with just one pad. I highly recommend these!
I received all of these products free in exchange for my honest review.

Sunbelt Bakery Bar - Chocolate Chip

I received a chocolate chip Sunbelt Bakery Bar in my #BloomVoxBox from Influenster. I enjoy Sunbelt Bakery Bars. They are soft and chewy. The flavors are always great! The chocolate chip flavor, in particular, is sweet and has the perfect amount of chocolate. It satisfies my sweet tooth without overwhelming it. I have tried other varieties of Sunbelt Bakery Bars in the past, as well, and I have always been pleased with the quality and taste. My favorite is the fudge-dipped coconut bar! If you have a chance to try or buy Sunbelt Bakery Bars, I highly recommend it.

I received a product free in exchange for an honest review, but all opinions are 100% my own.

Guidecraft IO Blocks!

We had an awesome party opportunity from Tryazon: Guidecraft IO Blocks! These fun and colorful little blocks inspire creativity. My kids and their friends love to sit and build anything they can imagine. I loved sharing the blocks with my friends, as well. They were excited to build on their own, as well as to introduce the blocks to their kids. At the party, we talked about Guidecraft and Tryazon. We all got to try our hand at building different figures with the IO Blocks and their creativity cards. There is a really useful app (IO Blocks App) that goes with the blocks that helps show you how you can build different structures with the blocks. Way fun! At our party, we also had an IO Blocks building contest for tallest, most creative, and most lifelike builds. If you love to build (or have children who love to build) I highly recommend IO Blocks!

SOI Purse Light and Whoosh Screen Cleaner Party

We were able to try out the SOI Purse Light and Whoosh Duo + screen cleaner from Tryazon! I loved the purse light - it is such a nice, compact design that lets me see what's in my bag. I love using the purse light not only in my purse, but also in my diaper bag. My mom friends also loved to see how the purse light could work in their various bags. We loved trying it out, and we were excited about the possibilities of where we could use the handy little light.

We also got to try out Whoosh Duo + screen cleaner. I love that this cleaner is so easy to use - just spray it on the cloth and wipe the screen (polish after if desired). And it is safe for any device! My mom friends also loved to learn how we can easily keep our screens clean because our kids use them so often. What a fun party! Thanks Tryazon!

Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant Spinbrush and Toothpaste

I was able to sample the Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant Spinbrush and Toothpaste from Crowdtap. All opinions are 100% my own.

I loved the flavor of the toothpaste. It was a fresh minty flavor that helped my mouth to feel clean. I felt confident after brushing my teeth with it - I had fresh breath every morning and felt ready to face the day! I love that the toothpaste contains baking soda as a great way to clean my teeth.

I also loved the Spinbrush. It seemed so much more effective than my normal manual toothbrush. I felt like I had just gone to the dentist with my pearly whites! I enjoy brushing my teeth more now with the spinbrush. It's an exciting addition to my daily dental hygiene routine.
