Keurig 2.0 K550 Review

This is a really great Brewer. I love that you can brew more than a cup at a time with the new Carafe packs. 
The only thing that I do not like is that if you do brew a Carafe you wont be able to keep it warm unless you are using it right then. But that is not a big deal since you can just brew a k cup instead. 

Another thing is only being able to use Keurig brand k cups.I really do not mind but that may be a slight disadvantage for some people that already had a lot of k cups stocked up. 

I love the new technology and customization of the Keurig 2.0. I like to decorate my kitchen depending on the season and/or holiday. So the different wallpapers and Reservoir lights are very fun to play with. The brew time is super fast for both the k-cup and Carafe. 
Also as soon as the K cup or Carfare cools I remove it and just run hot to help with keeping it clean as possible. 

I received this product free from Influenster for testing and review purposes.

Actual 9-5 Work at Home Companies??!!!

       OK so I know you have been seeing people say they are working from home and making like $2000 a month and stuff. They might be....but that does not mean you will. There are different work at home jobs and companies out there that are totally legit. As in an actually 9-5 from home.
       There are a few companies that I know for a fact that are legit because I have actually worked for them and received a pay check that goes along with filling out a W-4 form. These companies or just like a tradition brick and mortar job but you do them from your own home.
       One thing you CAN NOT..... I repeat CAN NOT take this as a laid back position. It has the same demands as working in an actually brick and mortar and can be a little more stress because of the lack of physical supervision.
   While there are a lot of companies out there I am only going to talk about the ones that I actually have worked for or have been offered a position.

The Vow Vox Box is In!

I finally received my Vow Vox Box in the mail! It came in this really pretty blue box. 

In this Wedding inspired box it include a lot of things to prepare you for your big day. 

This box included a Tide-to-go pen which is perfect for getting rid of those totally unexpected stains and mistakes. I think this product works wonderfully and it does not take long. Once you put it on the stain and give it three to five minutes to dry, the stain disappear. I tried it out on a white t-shirt with V8 juice. The stain came out really well. I would definitely recommend this product.

The next item that was in this box was the EcoTools Pure Complexion Facial Sponge. This is a very gentle sponge to exfoliate your skin. Its really cool it starts off really hard. At first I was kinda worried because I did not think it would be soft enough for my sometimes sensitive skin. But to my surprise when I wet the sponge it became extremely soft. After using this twice I see great changes. I feel that this a great affordable way to get your face exfoliated.

 

Next up is the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure. I received a beautiful color called Barracuda. This is such a soft blue color. I actually have previous experiences with these polishes and I absoultely love them. They are all in one so you can apply it to your bare nail and get a salon finish. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure also drys really fast not to mention the brush is shaped so that you get that perfect finish. I love it!

The most shocking product that was in this voxbox has to definitely be the Olay Regenerist Luminous. This dark spot correcter is something very much needed. It is so moisturizing and smooth. I love that it does not feel heavy on my face. I have applied it a few times and I can already see a difference on some of my lighter discoloration. Love this product!

I really love the scent of this next product! It is the Pure Silk shaving cream. I am so guilty of not using shaving cream when I shave. But once I tried this product I just knew I could shave without it again. It is totally true to the name because it leaves your skin feeling pure and silky.

There was also a card included for Riley & Grey. Riley & Grey is a company where you can customize a personalized website for your wedding. This is perfect for adding that finishing touch onto your special day.

Overall I absolutely love all of the products I received. This is so perfect for someone who is getting married. The Tide-to-go is perfect to have on hand on your wedding day. The EcoTools Sponge is great for get those imperfections scrubbed away. The Olay Regenerist is perfect for getting your skin discolorations even out for the all of the pictures you will be taking. The pure silk will make sure you have smooth legs for your honey moon. And the Sally Hansen nail polish is a very quick and affordable alternate if you do not have time to get a manicure.

So my overview is that this was a great and well put together voxbox!!! Even though I have no plans to get married anytime soon and these products will most likely be completely used up, I will certainly be repurchasing them and using the Riley & Grey site once that time comes.

Have an old Sprint phone Ting is the way

It is very hard to get your sprint phone unlocked. Trust me I have been trying for the last 3 months. I ran across this company called Ting. You can actually bring your sprint phone over to there phone service. You can do this temp or long term because its no contract. I am not a heavy user on my sprint phone I have the galaxy S4. So this company is good if you are just tried of your phone sitting there. Here is a link for a 25 dollar credit which will cover you activation fee of 6 dollars https://zap09i2n2m6.ting.com/ . Its worth a try, They have a full list of prices on the site. Plus its a monthly bill but no contract. And you only pay for as much as you use. I clicked on someones link and it gave me 25. Just trying to share my luck plus I get a 25 credit for sharing. You can Google it to get to it and set up that way but you wont get the credit. Hope this helps. Oh and sign up and activation only took 5 mins! And if you sign up with your amazon account you do not have to add a card at sign up. And one more thing your credit can go to your first month bill or to purchasing a phone off their site.
