My Newest PINCHme Box Samples

Every month, I check my PINCHme account to see if I get to try some new samples. As you know, I enjoy receiving new samples to try. It is fun trying new things! In this box, you can get a variety of products, like food, snacks, shampoo, lotions, vitamins, dog food, laundry soap, and more.

This past month, I received only a few items, but have enjoyed trying all of them. I received a coupon for a free Slim Fast Slim Cafe and samples of Garnier Whold Blends Oat Delicacy Shampoo and Conditioner, and Garnier Fructis Smoothing Treat Hair Mask. Sometimes, they send out a sample repeat, which in this case, I got spicy Skittles.

The way PINCHme works is you sign up for an account, fill in some demographics and questions so they can see what you may qualify for according to their current promos/clients. Every month, if you qualify for some stuff, you will see it available in your account under Samples, you add it to your cart, and then they send out the products. You have some time to try the product and review it or answer a survey. It's easy, and you get to share your opinion on each item!

Give it a try here and share your thoughts on which sample has been the best sample you have tried. For me, one of the samples that I have enjoyed the most (there are many, but if I had to choose) was Barilla Pesto. Why? Because I was introduced to an easy, yet yummy dish that my family loves!! I would have probably overlooked it at the store and not purchase it. Now that I tried it, I remain a loyal customer to this product and many more that I have tried this way. This is why I love trying new products! So are you ready to try some new stuff, too? If so, sign up here!

Till next time! 💋

My First Daily Goodie Box!

For a long time, I wondered if I would ever get a Goodie Box. I liked learning about so many people that were getting them and seeing their excitement. The boxes were always filled with good stuff! I was happy for them, but secretly i wondered if I would get one. I wanted a Goodie Box and decided to continue trying to get one. I liked hanging out with Daily Goodie Box on Facebook, so one day I decided to comment and share my excitement. To my surprise, I got the message, "Congrats! You just got a Goodie Box!" The first thing that popped in my mind was, "WOW! Woohoo! I got a Goodie Box!" I was thrilled and started jumping up and down with joy. I couldn't wait to have my box in my hands.

The day came when it arrived, and I immediately opened it. There was a bunch of good stuff waiting for me to open: yummy snacks, a drink, slime, wipes, and more! Everything in there are of good size and quality! The box was neatly packed, but it immediately looked as if it was ransacked thanks to my excitement and not being patient to gently take each item out of the box. Sorry, everything was too good! I love the box and everything in it! Thank you Daily Goodie Box for always cheering us on and giving away so many boxes!

Anyways, here is what I got and my REVIEWS for each item:

Flathau’s Fine Foods - Cinnamon Snaps

My husband loved Flathau’s Fine Foods Cinnamon Snaps so much that he has sent me out to find some more. These are delicious and perfect with coffee, milk, or just enjoy it by itself! Have some for dessert or alone as a quick snack. This perfectly sweet treat gently crumbles in your mouth leaving you with a desire to want more, truly. They are soft with a light crisp. These cinnamon snaps are like a bite-size shortbread cookie with cinnamon sprinkled throughout, and are simply yummy!

Good Karma Dairy Free Flaxmilk

Thick and creamy with rich, nutritious flavor and great taste is how I would best describe Good Karma Dairy Free Flaxmilk. It kept me feeling full and content. It is free of soy, dairy, gluten, and nuts. One serving of flaxmilk contains 1100 mg of omega-3 and 7 grams of protein. That's pretty good for a single serving! Not only did it give me a great boost to my day, it is good for the body in so many different ways due to its main ingredient: flax. This vegan and non-gmo drink is a superfood that is good for the heart and soul, I say. It is filled with good nutrients for mom, dad, and the kiddos alike.

Prince & Spring Fruitmojis

The emoji fruit snack is so much fun to eat! Food isn't supposed to be this fun, is it? Well, I was having a blast enjoying this yummy snack while checking out every piece that came out of the bag. There are a lot of flavors in each single-serve packet. Each flavor goes with a certain emoji. The orange flavor is the fire emoji. The strawberry flavor is the heart emoji. The orange flavor is the pizza emoji. The fruit punch flavor is the yummy emoji. The apple flavor is the money emoji. The grape flavor is the poo emoji (🤔 I had to think twice on this one before trying only because...well, I mean...it's poo! 😂). My favorite flavor is the grape, but my favorite emoji is the heart. I was also impressed and happy that I could taste real fruit juice flavors and not fake sugars in each fruitmoji gummy. They didn't taste super sweet or stick to my teeth. They were a good treat that my family and I loved and enjoyed snacking on.

Real Chemistry Fresh-Start Foaming Cleanser

A gentle face cleanser that removed my makeup without irritating or drying out my skin. It left my skin feeling so soft and smooth. It has a light and pleasant scent. The actual feel of the product is like the consistency of gel. As I put a dime-sized amount of it on my fingers, I noticed how smooth it felt. It made me want to wash my hands with it, but I didn't because it is for face and it cost too much to misuse. 😁 Although this is a free sample that I received in order for me to review, I don't want to waste it. 😉 A little goes a long way! I would like to continue using this cleanser to see what results it will leave my skin with as the days go by. For now, I like that my skin feels clean and soft!

RawRev Chunky Peanut Butter Chocolate

Tastes like PB & J! It's actually really good! At first, I was unsure if I would like it because it looked and felt too soft to be a chunky bar. However, the first bite took effect and I was sold. This is a good bar! I like how it reminded me of my childhood when I would snack on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It brought a smile to my face. I also like the chocolate chunks along with the crispy peanuts! Vegan, organic, non-gmo, and gluten free with 2 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein brings a tasty and nutritious bar to enjoy anytime!

Fourth & Heart Madagascar Vanilla Bean Ghee Butter

This gluten-free, non-gmo, dairy-free, lactose-free, and organic fair trade madagascar vanilla bean ghee butter is smooth! The pleasant-tasting butter added richness to my coffee. It can also be used for cooking and baking, except I only had one sample; therefore, I didn't have enough for baking. However, I would like to get some more of this ghee so I can bake and cook with it. Plus, I enjoyed it in my morning coffee, so I would continue using it regularly. I felt healthy adding ghee to my diet. It is good for you!

Foods Alive Himalayan Pink Salt

I love Foods Alive Himalayan pink salt! There are so many minerals that our body needs and we get with this salt! It is natural, organic, and non gmo. It tastes great! I added some to my popcorn and it tasted delicious. I like adding a little to my water every day so my body can absorb the 90 plus minerals that my body needs and this salt provides naturally. I feel good when adding this pink salt to my diet. I enjoy it in numerous ways besides in my popcorn and water: I sprinkle some on my fruit and veggies, I cook with it, I include it when making my electrolyte drink, and I use it in my bath! It is great to always have some at home.

Goodwipes - Down There Wipes For Gals

These paraben-free, alcohol-free, and hypoallergenic wipes come in handy. I feel clean after using them and appreciate that they help maintain a pH balance which keeps bacterial count on check. I like that they are biodegradable, too. The wipes are a good size and don't easily tear. They also come in a singles pack so I can put it in my bag for when I'm on the go. They are convenient to have.

Loaf Slime - Lavender Aromatherapy Dough

I didn't know slime would be therapuetic! This Loaf Slime is pretty awesome! First, it's fun. It reminds me of all the times I bought my son slime when he was little. I would just watch him enjoy it a lot! Now that I think of it, he was always happy and calm when playing with slime. Second, it smells good! It has a nice lavender aroma that you breathe in while you play with it. As I pass it from one hand to the other and my fingers are moving around, the aroma is being released and is smelling nice! And third, it is relaxing! It's is a good way to relax and be calm. Overall, I enjoyed playing with Loaf Slime!

DayClear - Allergy Relief

DayClear really cleared up my allergies, and it workes fast! It didn't smell or taste odd, either. I didn't feel any weird side effects like I do with other allergy meds. The dose is easy to take and effective.

This is my Goodie Box! It's a lot, isn't it? I loved and enjoyed everything in this box and hope to get more in the near future.

How To Get A Free Amazon Baby Registry Welcome Box

Do you have Amazon Prime? Are you aware of the perks you get with being a Prime member? I must say, there are plenty of perks that Amazon Prime offers: you get free two-day shipping, you can watch a lot of TV shows and movies, you can stream over 2 million songs, ad-free, and more. But now, I am going to show you a perk that you can get if you are pregnant and are signing up for your baby registry for your upcoming baby shower!

By creating an Amazon Baby Registry 

- You receive a FREE Amazon Baby Welcome Box filled with baby products. This box is worth $35! It comes with various baby and mama products that you can try, and it has coupons, too. What a good way to learn about new products you were unaware of or were curious about! When I completed my baby registry, I received various samples and full-size products including diapers, wipes, baby wash, a baby bottle, a muslim swaddle, coupons, and more. I feel it was a good welcome gift. Of course the boxes vary from box to box; therefore, you may receive different products, but it will still be nice to receive and try, right?

-You also get up to 20% off your diapers and baby food purchases, and you get exclusive coupons and offers!

Ok, so here's how you get started! 

• Sign up for Amazon Baby Registry. (Don't forget you need to be a Prime member in order to get the perks. If you don't have Amazon Prime and want to sign up or check out the 30-day free trial, you can do so here).
• In your Baby Registry List, go to Registry Checklist and complete the registry by adding an item to your list from every category/subcategory. Make sure this is 100% complete.

• Since you can add anything to your Baby Registry, find something that you want to buy or need now and is at least $10 and click "Add to Baby Registry." Then Add to Cart and Checkout. Remember, this does not have to be a baby item (I added soap to my baby registry and purchased it with Amazon gift cards). Now, as soon as this purchase ships, add your baby box to your cart here. It will show the cost of $35, but at checkout it will show a discount of $35, making it free as long as the item you purchased from your baby registry has shipped and you have prime!

That's it! Now wait for your Welcome Box to arrive! You can check the status of your box under View Your Registry.

Now share your list with your friends and family and get ready for your baby shower!

Congratulations to the new mama and papa!

Review: Taster's Choice Instant Coffee

I have been drinking Taster's Choice on a regular basis for a while now. This coffee has helped me to wake up and get going in the mornings. It wakes me fairly quickly. I enjoy the taste. It is quite bold but not bitter or strong. I have had it with powdered coffee creamer and/or half-and-half. It is good both ways. I like that I feel normal after drinking it. I can go on with my work and daily duties like normal. I don't get the jitters or shakes like I sometimes do with other coffees. You have to admit, there are some coffees out there that just keep you on edge with the jitters! Anyways, the House Blend is not as strong. I have drank it hot and cold, and I find it tasty both ways. It is awesome when it is icy cold! It is the perfect cup of iced coffee! I am really surprised at how much I liked it. I also like how convenient the packets are for when I am out-and-about. They are premeasured and easy to use. They also don't take up much space in the pantry. They are great for camping, too! I appreciate this. It is way too easy to have a quick, good cup of coffee anytime, anywhere!
