NYC HD Color Trio Eye Shadow

I received a trio of eye color from NYC in my JollyVoxBox from Influenster free to try. It is the Long Beach Sands, and is a trio of browns from light to dark. I received also from Rimmel London a lipgloss in Stargazer, also a neutral shade, Puffs plus kleenex with lotion, and a box of Skinny Cow chocolate peanutbutter packs. The eyeshadow I like so far. It being neutral is easy to put a pop of color with as far as eyeliner, or a little bit of shadow in another color. It doesn't cake, and lasts for quite a while. I am impressed. The lipgloss is good and other than a little bit of an aftertaste lasts for a while and keeps moisture in. The kleenex was a nice touch and came in handy with my sore chapped nose over Christmas. It is great that I can take it and put it in my pocket without getting everything in my pockets on the kleenex. Last but not least was the chocolate peanutbutter packs. 130 calories in 3 of these little treats. Very smooth and creamy. Yum! I love getting these packages. Like Christmas when they arrive :)

I don't know if anyone reads this or not. But if you do and you read nothing else, let me tell you my journey over the past year. Over the last few years I have had several surgeries. Constant pain, migraines, pelvic pain, kidney stones, kidney/bladder infections, body and joint pain, depression, etc. I had been diagnosed as high cholesterol of the bad kind, low cholesterol of the good kind, and my triglycerides were triple what they should be. Also diagnosed as diabetic. The doctors ran every test imaginable, and could come up with nothing that would cause my pain or migraines. Because of my pain, I could do nothing. I also have lymphedema, so I swelled upon standing. I blew up like a balloon. I had gained so much weight and was just miserable. I was sick constantly, and was always at the doctor. In February of this year I was at my daughter's first grade classroom, and was talking with her teacher. I was telling her of my issues, and she told me about something she was doing for herself and her kids. She invited me to come to her house, and I thought, "oh great. Another person who thinks I am fat", which I WAS, but I had tried everything. I just could not lose weight. The day of the "party" I could not wake up. When I did, I felt miserable, and didn't want to go. Something told me to just go and this would be my answer. I was late, but I did get there. I watched the presentation, and just knew this was going to be my last hope. There is a 30 day money back guarantee, and I was planning on using it. But I was hopelessly miserable. I went home from the party, and talked to my husband at length. I couldn't justify spending money on myself. Finally I got the ok to try it for a month. I was convinced when I saw my daughter's kindergarten teacher at the party as well and she looked great! But what got me wasn't even the weight loss. It was the testimony upon testimony of people feeling so much better and being able to go off their medications and being pain free! I got my first kit and we promptly left on vacation. I do not recommend doing it this way, but it is what it is. Day 3 I woke up and had no more pain. My pelvic pain was debilitating up to this point. So many surgeries, the last being to cut out a growth from my bladder and complete my hysterectomy. My endometriosis was bad! I lost 4 pounds in the first week, and the inches melted off. But I felt good! No more walking hunched over. And no more migraines! I lost 30 pounds in a little over 3 months. I went from a 22 which was tight to an 18, and my shirts have gone from a 2 to 3 x down to a large and sometimes xl, but I can fit a large. I am no longer diabetic, and my blood pressure has come back down to stable. I have bloodwork done next month and can't wait to see what they say. My last stone was the end of January, and no bladder/kidney infections since March when I started doing this amazing system. I have not been on antibiotics one time since March. I no longer have migraines, I run up and down the stairs, I feel great! You can read about it at www.crazy4xyng.com and my website is www.xyngular.com/AKIEWEL Please check it out. You won't be sorry! How can you go wrong with a money back guarantee?

Mommyhood

I love being a mom. In fact it is the only REAL goal I had in life. Sure I wanted to be things here and there, but it was always to be a wife and mother that I came back to. I have 4 girls, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. My children are not perfect, but they are perfect for me. I love sitting at the table and just spending family time with them. They continue to teach me things daily. I have a child with an immune disorder, and we have had a LOT of time to spend together as she spent years being sick. I have learned over time to make a lot of homecooked from scratch meals, to get rid of things I don't know what they are. That has worked for me very well :) I cook in bulk and my kids are not picky. God is good and I am very blessed :)

Dog groomer

I grew up wanting to be a Veterinarian like so many little girls do. I went through life loving the dogs of all shapes and sizes. I always wanted to work with animals. What was my solution? I became a dog groomer :D I groomed for 20 years. In doing that, I was able to work in several Vet offices helping with various things. Assisted with surgeries, got to see so many things I will NEVER forget lol. Just the experience alone taught me so many things I never knew. I love animals so much. Got to live out my lifelong dream and never regretted it for a minute.

Crazy Chicken Lady

I love my chickens. They provide me such joy watching them go about their daily lives. They just happily scritch and scratch the ground looking for their little bugs. They don't ask for much in return at all. Just a place to sleep and lay their eggs. We keep them fed and watered of course. I am known as the "crazy chicken lady" because I just love to see the eggs and the color variations. I get soo tickled when I see all the colors of blue my chickens give me. And listening to them cluck to the world that they have just laid an egg cracks me up :) Anyone else crazy about their feathered babies?

Annie's Real Aged Cheddar Microwave cups

I received this product free from Influenster. The flavor was good and my kids liked it. The noodles were a bit chewy. I followed the directions, but think it needed to cook longer. Overall we liked it though. Would probably try it again.

Dr. Scholls Comfort Insoles for her

I received the Dr. Scholls comfort insoles for her in my @MamaVoxBox complimentary from Influenster to try and give my opinion. I have lymphedema, and my feet swell and ache daily. So you can imagine that I was excited. I love these insoles. I put them in my tennis shoes and am able to walk around and my feet feel really good by the end of my travels. I would highly recommend these to anyone. When these wear out I plan to buy more to replace them :)
