June PinchMe Box

It's always a good day when my PinchMe Box arrives! 

This box was a pretty good one. Certainly not the best, but I was pretty impressed with a few of the product samples I received. 






Pure Leaf Home Brewed Teas 
I have to say I enjoy this brand. With single origin leaves and Rainforest Alliance Certified products, this is one brand I am happy to purchase. I received the Green Tea with Citrus sample. It comes in that great pyramid bag so you can see it isn't just ground up tea leaf leftovers like some other brands.  Very refreshing taste for summertime! 

Corazonas® HEARTBAR™ Oatmeal Squares
Well, I wish I could tell you more about this sample, but when I went to go try it, I realized my husband had already scarfed it down! He seemed to really enjoy it. I was really hoping to try this one because it's made with whole grain rolled oats. It's also Gluten Free (my husband has Celiac's) and there are no GMO ingredients. Can't wait to try it. 

Vagisil Odor Block Wash 
Glad I have this sample for summer! It offers triple odor protection with gentle cleansers, patented Odor Block Technology and a light & clean scent to help stop odor from happening. 

100% Marula Oil & Organic Shea Butter Fragrance-Free Sensitive Skin Body Lotion w/ White Tea Extract 

I LOVE Shea Moisture products. This sample is great for a few reasons. First of all: it works! Secondly, my husband and step-kids have some skin issues which some lotions with fragrance or other ingredients can aggravate. This product soothes dry hands and elbows without any fragrances that can fight with all of the other perfumes you might be wearing. 

Muse Infused – Natural Paté Recipes Infused with a touch of coconut milk
I can't tell you how it tastes but our senior cat was not a huge fan. She licked at it for a little bit but never really ate it.  I wished she did like it. It's Grain free, made with Real fish or chicken as the #1 ingredient, Crafted in the USA in St. Joseph, Missouri, No corn, no wheat, no soy, no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. 

Simply Summer's Eve Kit

Alright, Ladies. It's summer time! We all worry about staying fresh. Whether it's after the gym, going on adventures in the summer sun, or it's that time of the month.
I got invited to participate in the Crowdtap Simply Summer's Eve mission. I have always been a fan of Summer's Eve products, but this is even better!

I received the Coconut Water Foaming Wash, 14 To-Go Cloths, and a 24 count of the Cleansing Cloths for free!

From there website:

For freshness anytime, try New Simply Summer's Eve™ Cleansing Cloths. They are free of harsh chemicals, dyes, alcohol, and parabens–so you can feel good about what you are putting on your body. Infused with botanical extracts to cater to your most intimate parts, our Cleansing Cloths work with a woman’s body to help maintain a natural pH. The de-light-fully scented cloths are perfect for when you don’t have time for a shower but could use a little touch-up. Keep them handy, for freshness anytime.- Free from harsh ingredients- Helps maintain a natural pH- Removes odor-causing bacteria
Plus, Simply Summer's Eve™ Gentle Cleansing Cloths are:- Gynecologist-tested- Hypoallergenic- Safe for everyday use

My husband and I are trying to start our family and I have been thinking more about what I am putting in and on my body. This kit couldn't have come at a better time!

The smell of the Coconut Water is fabulous. No chemical smells, just summery and fresh. The to-go clothes are discrete and fit perfectly in a purse or gym bag (or that little bag we all carry with our monthly supplies). After using the cloths, I do have to say I have felt fresher, longer. The shower foam is silky and puts the cherry on top of a relaxing shower. Some feminine washes don't get foamy enough, or I feel they wash off before doing their job, but not this one!

We are also planning a few days in the city next month. I'm sure the individually wrapped cloths will come in handy after walking around Philadelphia in the July sun!

Have any of you used Summer Eve's Simply line yet? It also comes in Mandarin Blossom!

You can purchase them at Target, Amazon, or Walmart.

Turkey Hill Haymakers

I got picked for Turkey Hill Haymaker Mission from Smiley360!


I'm ready to grab a Turkey Hill Haymaker and discover what farmers have known for centuries—a legendary thirst requires a legendary thirst-quencher.

My Smiley Kit contains:

• (4) Full value coupons for Turkey Hill Haymakers 
• (8) Coupons to share with your friends 
• Haymakers Koozie and Bottle Opener 
• Smiley Sharing Guide 

I've tried them before and I LOVE Haymakers! The original is just enough tangy to wet your whistle. 

Here are some initial thoughts: 

I was a little put off my seeing vinegar in a drink! But let me tell you, it works! I grabbed two of my free full sized samples of Turkey Hill Haymakers (one Sweet Tea, one Strawberry Cider) for my 4th of July celebration. In two hours, they were GONE. Ended up giving away all of my coupons, too. Everyone loved the two flavors. The cider has a different taste than a typical cider. It's almost like it would be a hard cider but there is no alcohol in it. I'm a huge fan of the taste and the size. The molasses and vinegar give that 1, 2 punch: tart then sweet. The shape of the bottle allows for drinking right out of the bottle without losing your grip on it (according to my husband). I wish they didn't have to be refrigerated, though. Having 2 bottles in my fridge took up a lot of room. I would have purchased more but they wouldn't have fit with everything else!
