Brand NEW Influenster!!!

I am so excited to announce that the new Influenster.com has officially launched!!!!

I had the opportunity this morning to try it out for the first time. It was a bit confusing at first, but I figured it all out.

I logged into my profile first. I had to get my password first since it didn't work, but I got it together. Once I entered the site. I was confused. I didn't know where all my badges went and why I only had a influenster score of 37.

I got it all together after 10 to 15 minutes.

The Good

1. New site
2. Brighter than before
3. More badges to unlock.
4. More involvement

The Bad

1. Couldn't figure out the site
2. Confusing new way of things like badges, points, etc.
3. Learning the site over again

Overall

1. Great site
2. I can over look the confusion especially when I figured out how to do things
3. More fun than before.

THE BEST PART IS THE PROFILE!!!! I love the "Teig's Plan of Attack." It is so darn cute!

Check out the new site, sign up, and just have fun.

Surgery on Wednesday... NOT FUN!

I recently had to go to the dentist about a really bad tooth. It was infected. There is no saving it even if I wanted to get a root canal and what not. SO....

The only option is getting it REMOVED!

I had to have my wisdom's and three actual teeth removed that Fall (Nov. 2011). The women in my family all have bad teeth as far as I know.

The kicker to this story is that I have NO insurance what so ever. I don't have the money to spend $179+ on any type of insurance.

Lucky enough that I did apply for Care Credit. Which is a credit card only that you use it on medical related things like plastic surgery, dental, eye doctors, specialists, vets, etc.

I got a good amount of credit.

Last week I didn't know if I would have the money to pay for the surgery. My dentist doesn't remove molars.

My oral surgeon is only minutes from me as well as my dentist. I wasn't sure if they took my care credit though. I been worried about how to pay for this surgery since late July.

On Wednesday, my dentist contacted my oral surgeon and explained the situation. I needed this surgery. They said that it would cost about $530.00. Which is great. Then I called them up after my dentist appointment. I asked if they took Care Credit...

They do!

I was relieved because I didn't know how to pay for it. I started to tear up.

SO now my surgery is on Wednesday. I am terrified that it may go up in pricing. I can't afford any more that what it was estimated. I am going to pray that is doesn't go past $560.00 I can't do anymore.

Will update you soon on this after my surgery to tell you my experience.

Family Night w/ Kroger

So I am a BuzzAgent and have been since last year. I recently joined into the fun a few months ago again. I have been gone since then because school got so busy.

I wanted to talk about Kroger brand products. I recently got accepted to participate in this campaign for Kroger. I was sent some coupons for 20% off and 1 free boxed pizza and frozen Fruit bars, a vitamin water and a bag of Kroger cup tortilla chips. I tried them all and loved them. I have since purchased more.

Now this campaign is about family night and all. Well my family and I just recently moved and we wanted something quick for dinner that we didn't need to work at. So we gather into the kitchen for the first time since 2005 and just sat down. We enjoyed a nice few hours together sitting down and eating.

I'm a BzzAgent and that I received a product sample, coupon, collateral or other products from BuzzAgent.com

The Dark Monk: A Hangman's Daughter and The Hangman's Daughter

I recently got to read two books by Oliver Pötzsch called The Dark Monk: A Hangman's Daughter, and The Hangman's Daughter which I received from a site called BzzAgent completely free of charge. 

Both of these books are mystery books that are very good if you are into crime and uncovering mysteries. According to the description from Amazon, The Dark Monk: A Hangman's Daughter is:

"1660: Winter has settled thick over a sleepy village in the Bavarian Alps, ensuring every farmer and servant is indoors on the night a parish priest discovers he's been poisoned. As numbness creeps up his body, he summons the last of his strength to scratch a cryptic sign in the frost.

Following a trail of riddles, hangman Jakob Kuisl; his headstrong daughter, Magdalena; and the town physician’s son team up with the priest’s aristocratic sister to investigate. What they uncover will lead them back to the Crusades, unlocking a troubled history of internal church politics and sending them on a chase for a treasure of the Knights Templar.

But they’re not the only ones after the legendary fortune. A team of dangerous and mysterious monks is always close behind, tracking their every move, speaking Latin in the shadows, giving off a strange, intoxicating scent. And to throw the hangman off their trail, they have ensured he is tasked with capturing a band of thieves roving the countryside attacking solitary travelers and spreading panic."

According to the description from Amazon, The Hangman's Daughter is:

"Germany, 1660: When a dying boy is pulled from the river with a mark crudely tattooed on his shoulder, hangman Jakob Kuisl is called upon to investigate whether witchcraft is at play. So begins The Hangman's Daughter--the chillingly detailed, fast-paced historical thriller from German television screenwriter, Oliver Pötzsch--a descendent of the Kuisls, a famous Bavarian executioner clan."

 

If you love some mysterious books than these are for you... Personally I would have never bought this book because I am not a mystery book kinda girl. Overall these were really good.

Kie is turning a year old!!!

This is really exciting. We have had our cat, Kie since September so it has been a little less than 8 months. She was around 6 months or so. We decided on her birthday to be April 23rd. She is such a cute kitten. Kie is so active and playful. She is a Japanese Bob-tail. Pure black with a couple white spots on her tummy. She also has golden/green eyes. So beautiful.

 Happy Birthday Keke!

Such a wonderful cat.

Kiss Nail Dress

 I was so amazed to have seen that the Kiss Nail Dress: Fashion that Sticks nail stickers or Okay everyone as I have mentioned in one of my posts that I received a Love VoxBox from Influenster.com over 1 week ago on the 5th or 6th of March. I got this design:

I love this product so much. I really love that you need no base coat or top coat to apply these. This product could be used on your fingers or toes. If you don't mess up on the stickers then you may even have enough for both! Another thing is that these last up to 10 days.

When you buy the Kiss Nail Dress you will find inside:

•  a mini nail file
•  28 nail stickers
•  1 design brochure or fold out booklet (showing the other nail designs and ways to make your nails more different and unique.)

You may not want to use the whole nail design so you could cut out a design to make a french tips, or something that represents your style so the booklet helps with that.

I choose to do my finger nails and I only had one problem with the product and that was my fault. I did rush a little and didn't take my time on a few nails. I followed the directions and got to the part where you remove the extra stick or nail strip. I pulled to hard so after a day they settled and now at the tips of my finger nails they show some of my actual nail but that is easily unnoticeable. My nails came out being so amazing despite the fact that I messed up. I got a cheetah print in gold and browns. They are beautiful and I am having fun with them.


This product is rather amazing because they are not that expensive at all. I even found them being cheaper that the suggested price of $6.99.

Gillette Venus & Olay Razor :)

Oh my goodness, I recently received my first VoxBox from Influenster VoxBox Program to test as I already announced on my facebook, YouTube, and this blog.

I tried the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor two times already and I am really loving it. I tried it first in the shower and it didn't work really well because I rushed and didn't take the time to calmly shave. I tried it again and took my time. After shaving my legs felt silky smooth because of the moisture strips or bars as it is called on the product page on the Influester site.I love the color of the razor as well even though it has nothing to do with how good this product is but it just fits the theme of Gillette and Olay. The theme is Goddess and I always imagined that yellow or gold fits. I didn't feel like the razor was going to slip from my hand like some of the razors I used in the past. This razor is one of my favorites. I do use other brands but always come back to Gillette no matter what. Here are some product information for this razor:

These are the product details according to Influenster and I do agree!

• Venus’ five-bladed razors shave you close and adjust to women’s curves for a smooth and comfortable shave, even over tricky shaving areas like knees and ankles.

I think that the more razor blades you have the closer the shave you get. Gillette always gives me a close shave. This razor does get the tricky places like my knees and ankles much better than other brands.

• Olay Moisture Bars contain skin-enhancing elements found in Olay products: Petrolatum helps lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness and Glycerin helps offer that goddess glow! Just wet the razor to release a light lather – no separate shave cream required.

 You don't need any shaving cream at all if you take your time shaving. I wouldn't rush through your shaving time because you don't want razor burns and cut yourself. The moisture Bars are amazing. I didn't need shaving cream the 2nd time I shaved. I rush the first time so I got razor burn and so I took my time with shaving. I found out that my legs felt really moisturized and felt amazing.

• As with most Venus razors, new Venus & Olay also features a rounded, pivoting head designed for women’s curves, and a soft-grip ergonomic handle for confident control, even in wet and soapy environment

OH my... This is the best razor brand and this razor is a way easier razor to deal with. I had problems on the first testing day but I was at fault for it because I rushed and didn't take my time with the razor.


Venus & Olay will be available starting March 15, 2012 at food, drug, convenience and mass merchandise stores throughout the United States.  Influenster.com
