My New Favorite Chocolate: Ghirardelli 32% Cacao Chocolate

Another goodie from my Influenster Love VoxBox! OMG. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Lol.

I am a huge milk chocolate fan and seeing this inside my VoxBox was like opening presents at Christmas. Cause what girl doesn't love chocolate. I don't know very many that don't!

I long knew that Ghirardelli was some of the best chocolate you could get but I really hadn't tasted this Gourmet Milk flavor yet and I was curious as to how it compared to other chocolates I have had.

Well let me just say this was the smoothest, richest, most luxurious chocolate I have ever ate in my life. Honestly.

It was such a rich creamy flavor that literally melts in your mouth and makes you wanna go back for another piece. I am not even a huge "sweets" eater but this chocolate bar literally made me want to eat the whole bar. I had to hold myself back. Lol.

This is definitely something I would repurchase! I wasn't originally going to write a blog on this product but I just had to because I really think others who like milk chocolate would really love this as well!

Hands down best chocolate I have ever ate! They are available in most grocery stores so pick one up for yourself today!

TruvĂ­a® natural sweetener Product Review!!


It's tea time!

Well anytime is tea time for me because I love tea but after receiving the Truvia Sweetener as part of my Influenster Love VoxBox I was very excited to try out Truvia!

I usually always have my tea the same way. Black tea, with lemon, and about 2 teaspoons of sugar. Yum. I am not a fan of coffee so it rules out that for me.

I had tried tea before with Sweet-n-Low and Splenda and I have to say I wasn't a very big fan. With Splenda because of it's powdery consistency I ended up getting a weird powdery froth on my tea and also little balls of powder which didn't wanna dissolve worth a damn floated around randomly. It was gross. Sweet-n-Low was a little better but still gave me that weird "diet" taste to my tea. As you can see I have never been a fan of sweeteners, I always prefer regular sugar. I am not on a diet so I don't really care too much about the calories. However I was eager to try out Truvia because it is natural and made from the Stevia plant.

So I made my usual cup of tea and I put in one packet of Truvia. It tasted as if I needed more sweetness so I added another packet. The packets were quite small, about a half a teaspoon I would think. After tasting it again, it was quite sweet. A little too sweet I think. It seemed as if I needed 1 1/2 packets instead of using 2. So I am assuming that the sweetener is quite strong compared to sugar.

It dissolved great, did not create a froth or weird bits floating around. Which was nice. However my tea just still didn't taste the same as it usually does when I use sugar. So for me...I could tell that it wasn't sugar immediately. It had that "fake sugar" taste. In my opinion if you're not on a diet or watching calories this does not make a good sugar substitute.

However this being a no calorie sweetener most people who use it will be on a diet, watching calories, or allergic to sugar in which I have this to say...it makes a damn good alternative for those who can't have sugar. It dissolves well, it tastes halfway decent, and it has zero calories. I believe just like diet soda...it's simply a acquired taste. And after drinking a few cups of tea or coffee with sweetener like this I too could get used to it.

And I can see various uses for this sweetener, baking, tea, coffee, other kinds of drinks. It has multiple uses for sure.

Overall I believe it is a good product. It does the job, and it does it well. Even though I may taste the difference I believe for those who need sweeteners instead of sugar this is a great substitute!

Thanks to Influenster for providing me with the opportunity to try it!

Stay tuned for more reviews and blogs coming soon!

Product Review: Montagne Jeunesse Fruit Smoothie Cleansing Mask



Hey hunnies! I can't believe I haven't posted in a while! I have been super busy with getting my channel on track and also working on another huge surprise I have been working on which I will reveal one of these days! You will just have to stay tuned! Thats all I can say. Anyhow,...

I became an Influenster member recently and got my very first Holiday VoxBox which I was really excited about! Inside of my VoxBox was included the Montagne Jeunesse Fruit Smoothie Cleansing Mask which I was excited to try. I previously tried a different Montagne Jeunesse mask which must not have been for my skin type because I ended up breaking out badly however this just being a cleansing mask I was a little less worried.

So the mask was a very nice thick mask that you apply after cleansing your face. You leave the mask on for about 10-15 minutes and then rinse off. It didn't really have much of a scent to it. It was Raspberry and Mango but I personally didn't smell any kind of smell.

After getting out of the shower and using it my skin felt very smooth and soft. It didn't feel tight or dry. I also didn't notice any breakouts so it seems as though this mask was much better for my sensitive skin then the previous one I used.

I have to say I was very satisfied with the mask. I loved the way it cleansed my skin without over drying it and it made my skin so soft.

The only bad point I can say about it is that I would have liked if the mask had actually had more of a fragrance to it. When I read it was Raspeberry and Mango I figured that it would have a Raspberry or Mango or some sort of fruity smell which it did not have. But that would be about the only bad point to it.

So I give this mask a A-. It was great even without the fragrance!

Thanks to Influenster for providing this with my Holiday Vox Box! Please stay tuned to my channel for more video's this week!
