AutoBar is a Handy Necessity!

Happy Monday, everyone!

Ok...not really. But in the spirit of Monday we're going to take a somber tone with our review. If something CAN go wrong, it WILL, and that's why I was intrigued by the AutoBar promotion. Once I applied for it and was approved, it wasn't too long before I held my free product in my hands and let me tell you...I didn't expect this thing to be so heavy! 

The AutoBar features a large, easy-to-grip handle that is thick and sturdy. Within a dip in the handle is a razor blade (used for cutting seatbelt material). At the end, a thick, rectangular piece of steel comes to a pyramid-shaped point that is used for breaking glass. This thing is sharp, but not dangerously sharp. Basically, it needs to have force behind it to be dangerous.

The last use the AutoBar has is as a handle for entering and exiting the car. The steel top doubles as a lever to support body weight. This top slides into the latch on the body of the car that would normally catch the handle of the door. This is especially helpful for elderly and injured people. The handle provides stability that otherwise wouldn't be present. 

I'm really impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of the AutoBar. It's very solid and truth be told, I'll probably keep it in my backpack as it's always with me and I feel like this tool could double as a weapon of self-defense (dark, I know...but hey...it would totally work!).

Here's to a Monday with no NEED for an AutoBar, for any reason! Thanks for reading guys!

Smiley360 + Dial Acne Control Face Wash SAVED MY FACE! :)

Hi, guys!

This summer I had a TERRIBLE time with my skin...and it's still recovering. I've spent too much money on products and treatments to clear my skin up, only to have it not work. Needless to say I had two emotions when I was selected to review this product: 1. Skeptical. I've tried literally ten or more products in three months to clear my skin. One of them ALMOST worked (as in it worked for two weeks or so...). 2. EXCITED! There was a slim chance this product might work. And if it didn't....it was FREE! It was a win-win! I patiently waited for this product to arrive, and soon, it did! I was shocked to see a full sized bottle of the wash, but hey...I'm not gonna complain! The bottle came with three sample packets of wash and coupons to share with friends.

As I mentioned, my skin was in horrible condition. I began drinking ONLY water back in the summer and I never ease into anything...I'm all in all at once obsessively. When you do that with water...they say your complexion improves and you glow. But what they don't tell you is that you have to get all of the TOXINS out that are making your skin dull and acne-ridden. And how does that happen? Yup. MORE acne. It truly gets worse before it gets better. After I'd given it a few weeks to flush, I still had a bit of problem skin. This is me...do I look happy? No. No I'm not. At all. My face hurts and I'm insecure. I'm pointing out that I'm not wearing makeup here. The reasoning is that I figured my skin needed time to heal. It might have worked. I'm really not sure. Anyway...

I got the face wash and IMMEDIATELY used it. When I say immediately, I mean I threw down the box, ran to the bathroom, popped the plastic wrap off of that sucker and rubbed it on my face like it was water from the fountain of youth. I NEEDED this, guys.  It might have been a mental thing, but my skin immediately felt better. And within two days I noticed that my tone was more even, the blemishes were disappearing, and I just LOOKED healthier. I'm really hoping that this doesn't become something that my skin "gets used to", because I really like it. I'm going to finish out this bottle and let you guys know how it goes. So far, amazing! And THANK YOU SMILEY360 for giving me the opportunity to try this product FREE OF CHARGE! It will (hopefully) become a permanent part of my routine!

I still have a few problem spots, but they're clearing up. I definitely would have KILLED for the skin I have NOW back in the summer. I know it's a healing process but I'm really excited at how fast it's working for me. I've tried high-dollar stuff like Proactive and had it fail. This is so easy to get! I can find it on the shelves of my local drugstore/mass retailer!

Influenster Dean's List #VoxBox!

Sometimes, I hate being a student. I NEVER feel lucky as I slave over homework that I've put off until the last moment. When my neck cramps from bending over textbooks and writing countless outlines, I feel the COMPLETE opposite. Luckily, a site called Influenster was there to bring a little bit of sunshine to my day!

Influenster examines you're profile for little details about you. When a campaign comes up that matches one of your details (such as being a student, parent, female, etc.), you are offered a VoxBox! This was my very first one and the ANTICIPATION of waiting nearly KILLED ME! I creeped Instagram HARD to see that other people had already gotten theirs. I was so afraid mine had gotten lost! But then...

 

IT ARRIVED!!!!!!!

And BOY was I excited!! I mean who wouldn't be?? It's FREE, full sized product! And all you have to do is put the time into reviewing your products! You ARE required to share some of your reviews on social media, so if you're opposed to that, this may not be the program for you. Breaking down the name of the company, after all, means that you INFLUENCE others.

And after all of the amazing things that this wonderful company sent me, I'm PROUD to be an Influenster! My box was STUFFED full of things! I received:

Softlips Cube 3-in-1 Lip Care in Pomegranate Blueberry
Ready, Set, Gorgeous liquid foundation by Covergirl
Kiss Looks So Natural feather lashes
Playtex Sport Tampons
Frixion Clicker Erasable Pens (OMG THEY ARE AWESOME!)
Airhead Bites in "Fruit"
And Sinful Colors professional nail color in "No Text Red"

It was such a wonderful variety of things that I will ACTUALLY use! Some of the products (like the lashes, foundation, and lip balm) I never would have considered because I get pretty stuck in my ways when I have products I love. However, since trying these, I have SWITCHED to the liquid foundation for good AND I'm open to the idea of wearing false lashes!

There you have it, guys. It doesn't cost anything, and you have boxes of free products to gain! Why wouldn't you?? If you would like a referral email, comment here, and I'll hook you up! :)
