YSL Black Opium

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I was lucky enough to score TWO Influenster Vox Boxes in the last couple weeks.  The second one I received, I'll be reviewing today.  The second box was from Yves Saint Laurent, their new perfume Black Opium.  Even the name of it had me intrigued.

This perfume boasts of scents of vanilla bean, white flowers, and black coffee.  Upon reading that, my nose hesitated.  Not a coffee drinker, so just the thought of smelling like a coffee shop had me nervous to try it.  Don't hesitate like I did!
The "coffee" scent is minimal, I wouldn't have even guessed that's what it was.  I do love the combination these scents make together.  It's a very feminine, sexy scent.  Perfect for special occasions or romantic nights out.  If you get those, that is.  As a mom of 2, soon to be 3, date nights usually consist of "Netflix & Chill" as kids these days are calling it (and by chill I mean literally, pig out on junk food and fall asleep).
A small bottle runs $25, which is equivalent to what I'd normally pay for a small bottle, so this may be on my list next time I need to replace perfume!

Apple & Eve Review

As most of my readers know, I am a part of one of the coolest sites out there, Influenster!  This site offers great products for free, in exchange for your honest review.  In the past couple weeks, I've actually received TWO VoxBoxes from them.  The first, what I'm going to review today, is the Apple & Eve VoxBox.
My two daughters are always happy to be my guinea pigs, but when they found out this box was all for them, they were ecstatic!  My 4-year old even helped me film the unboxing video!

With our box, we received three Quenchers (the size of a normal Hi-C juice box) and a one-liter bottle of Apple & Eve Organics (ours was Tart Cherry).
The girls impatiently waited while we put the juice in the fridge to get cold, and were quite pleased that they were ready to drink at dinner time.  They each grabbed a Quencher, and shared so the other sister could try her juice.  They said they could not pick a favorite, but based on how quickly it was chugged down, I'm thinking the Razzberry Apple Splash was definitely the winner!  

Sorry for the dark picture...
The tart cherry juice went quickly as well, the whole liter was gone within a day (I did mention my 4 year old loves juice, right?).  I personally wasn't a fan of the flavor, but my daughter was, and has changed her ways of picking juices at the store now.  I was a big fan of the after party of Apple & Eve juice drinking...there was no sugar rush, and therefore no sugar crash!  And because it was 100% organic juice I don't feel bad about it being all my 4-year-old insists on drinking!
Apple & Eve juice is a great choice for moms with kids who are picky and won't drink milk or water, like Schy.  It's also a great treat for kids who constantly choose milk to be able to have a drink of juice and still be healthy!
