THINaddictives Cranberry Almond Thins

The THINaddictives Cranberry Almond Thins is a delicious crunchy snack for convenient on the go savoring. These cranberry almond thins are very popular and it’s not too difficult to see why. The cranberries nicely complements the crunchy almond flavors. The almond thin cookies are individually packed to retain freshness. It also offers me great convenience to just throw one in the bag or bring it…

So. I need to review the Good Vox Box that Influenster sent me in a blog like fashion. So, here we go! 

Everything I'm about to review here I got for free. 

Okay. Let's start with Garcinia Cambogia  from The Vitamin Shoppe. I have used diet pills before. OxyElite and it works. So, I wasn't against trying this out. The first time I used it I was expecting it to curb my appetite and make me not hungry, but it didn't work like that. So, I tried again according to directions. I took the pills, waited 30 minutes, and ate my lunch. I felt full after I was finished. I didn't want to snack like I normally do. I was pretty pleased with how there weren't any side effects like with OxyElite (I feel shaky and hot). So, it works. Just don't expect miracles from it or anything. 

Next, we will talk about ThinAddictives. I didn't even try them. They looked delicious for 3 cookies for, what was it? 100 calories? But- I hate cranberries and that is the flavor they sent. I passed it off to a friend to try out. I would love to try their chocolate ones. They looked delicious. They really did and you get a lot of cookie for the calorie count. 

Okay, Let's talk Team New Skin. Impressive stuff. It's states liquid bandaid on the box, but Influenster kept saying to use it on your runs, etc. So, I sprayed some on my ankles before a hike. I normally bleed on the back of my ankle when I go on long walks because I don't wear shoes that touch my ankle in a tight way, if that makes sense. Anyway, it works. Plain and simple. Like, when you are going to buy new shoes this winter, buy this stuff and wear it when you are breaking in your new shoes so you don't get blisters or cuts. Pretty revolutionary. 

Next, Zone Perfect bars. Again, didn't even try them. They sent Vanilla and Berry. (Catching on that I don't like berries? Any fruit really.) I passed it off again. I've been trying to find the chocolate version in stores, but so far I have had no luck. Sam's Club has them, but I'll damned if I am buying a giant box without sampling it first. 

Let's talk my fav product in this whole box. My Urgent Rx. Someone refered to this stuff as adult Fun Dip. I'm pretty sure they should start including the sugar stick for this stuff. It's great. They have a whole product line. Allergy, Aches and Pain, Headache, Aspirin, etc. I got sent the headache one to try. It was lemon-lime flavor. I could only pour 1/3 in my mouth at a time, otherwise, you will regret it. You can't just dump the whole pack in your mouth. Sensory overload is pretty descriptive for that. Anyway, it was fantastic stuff. I use Excedrin Migraine, usually. I can't find this stuff in store, and I'm not ready to jump the gun and buy it on Amazon, so I hope they expand soon.

I have been a member of Influenster for a while now.  Influenster is a site that lets you rate and review products in a social setting, and if you rate/review/are active on the site a lot, you might be selected to get a VoxBox of sample products mailed to you on the condition that you will publicly review the products on your preferred social [web] platform.

If any of that sounds good to you, you can message me for a referral.

This is my first VoxBox.

Nonni's THINaddictives- cranberry almond flavor: Just okay.  I love almonds.  Dried cranberries are okay.  These thin biscotti-like cookies just didn't hit the spot for me.  Though having three in a serving was kind of nice and made me feel like I was getting more, I think I would have rather had one regular biscotti.  I feel like I would probably buy them if I caught them on sale, though.

UrgentRx Fast Powders- This is a powder for pain relief that you're supposed to pour directly into your mouth and swallow.  I guess they have other formulas for other ailments as well, like heart burn and upset stomach.  The packaging is small enough to slip easily into a wallet or purse.  Mine was lemon lime flavor.  More like lemon lime and crushed up pill flavor.  It was pretty gross.  My headache did go away pretty fast!  I can't see this replacing my bottle of Tylenol in my purse, though...if only because it was so icky.

New-Skin Liquid Bandages- I've used New-Skin products before when I used to get cracks in my feet and always had good results.  This was a spray, though and it just so happens my husband was the first one to need to use it for some blisters on his feet.  He says it stung when applying, but worked well.  He works long days in heavy Army boots, so I'm going to say if it worked through that, it should work for you.

ZonePerfect Greek Yogurt Bar- Greek yogurt chocolate flavor.  I really dislike Greek yogurt, so I wasn't looking forward to this.  I do like some meal replacement/protein/nutrition type bars, though  The good news is it doesn't taste like Greek yogurt at all.  The bad news is it still tastes pretty bad.  After a few bites the chocolate tastes burnt.  I didn't even make it through half the bar.  Maybe another flavor would have been better?

The Vitamin Shoppe Garcinia Cambogia- Sorry, I don't care how free these are, I'm not going to take weight loss pills.  Nope.  Not even if they're all natural.  Aside from my own opinions on this, I do take medications and all supplements must be okayed by my doctor.  It wasn't worth it to me to ask, but I'm almost positive she would have said no.
