DAILY GOODIE BOX! Free Samples I Won





🔻MY UNBOXING VIDEO ON YOUTUBE🔻




I won a Goodie Box from Daily Goodie Box!  I recently signed up on their Website, and followed their Social Medias:  Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.  I just so happened to comment on a post on their Facebook being a newbie & I got this:  








Goodie Boxes are 100% free & they cover the shipping too! All you're expected to do is provide your honest opinion on what you thought of each product you receive.  They take those reviews and share it with the brands.  

My box came with nine samples inside.  I was so excited & grateful to receive this.  Here is what I received & my honest reviews.







Goddess Garden - Mineral Removing Cleanser -This product is fantastic!  I've never tried a mineral cleanser so I didn't know what I was missing.  I have very large pores.  It has a nice spa like scent to it as if you're getting a facial.  It's light green & has a milky consistency to it, so it goes on nicely.  It doesn't foam up, it lathers well.  I rubbed it on my face for at least 30 seconds then rinsed off.  My skin felt clean & refreshed, but not over-dried.  Then I looked in the mirror & I could see my pores were definitely smaller making me very happy with this product.  Thumbs up & would recommend.





 


Pure Growth Organic - Snack Mix
-This is a great snack for kids & adults.  I could tell it has way less salt than similar products that aren't artificial or organic which is awesome.  It's a nice crunchy snack mix variety you could add to a child's lunch, or on a roadtrip or just at home in between meals.  It tastes great without all of the bad stuff & I would recommend it.

 








BetterThanCoffee - Energy Bars
-When I opened it, it smelled wonderful. I could definitely smell the mixture of dark chocolate & sweet cranberries.   Right away I could see there were some type of seeds mixed in, so I read the back of the package to see what they were.  It has a bunch of healthy ingredients in it, including sesame, pumpkin, & sunflower seeds, which is what I saw in the bar.  


It's easy to chew which is important to me and you get a burst of the crunchy seeds and dark chocolate/cranberry flavor.  I love that it's all natural energy.  It's a nice snack to have if you want to skip on the coffee, but still get a boost of caffeine without the crash. 


It has 100mg of caffeine-same as a cup of coffee & energizes with guarana and maca plants, not chemicals.  It says you should start with 1/2 a bar if sensitive to caffeine or new to guarana.  I would definitely recommend if you are a chocolate lover & want that caffeine boost. It just tastes so good.




 
 VitaBath - Travel Size Body Wash
-I received this in the Cool Spearmint & Thyme Scent.  I like that it is sulfate, paraben, & dye free.  It has a very light green color to it.  Once I opened it I could smell the mint in it and it was very refreshing.  It lathered well, smelled great, & got my skin nice & clean with a lingering pleasant scent.  This would be a good body wash for your morning shower because of the refreshing cooling effect of the spearmint, but you could use it anytime as well.  It can also be used as a bubble bath as the packaging says which I want to try next.  Thumbs up & would recommend.






 


Crown Maple - Organic Maple Syrup
-I love that this is just pure 100% certified organic maple syrup.  It has a light sweet scent to it & is not thick, but has a medium just right consistency with a sweet flavor.  It shows on the package information it can be used in a multitude of ways. I tried it in my tea, & it added a nice & light sweet flavor, without adding anything artificial to it.  Thumbs up & I would recommend this product.







 
 
BiPro - Protein Water Berry Burst
-All this protein in one bottle with a fruity taste is awesome!  I could taste the berry flavor in it as well as all of the added nutrients in the drink that make it so important.  For me, it is best drank ice chilled so I made sure to get it nice & cold first. 


It's very refreshing & gives me peace of mind knowing I am getting 20gm of isolate whey protein with zero sugar or carbs & also includes minerals like phosphorus, magnesium & potassium for an added bonus.


This would be great to take on the go for your outdoor activities & I definitely recommend giving it a try, it comes in different flavors as well.

 

 
 


Black Forest Organic - Gummy Bears
-These were cute little shapes bears.  They tasted really good.  They were sweet, but not too sweet, you could tell they didn't over-do it on the sugar which makes them easier to enjoy more often.  It has a variety of fruity flavors & you can eat them one by one,  but I like trying a few at time to get a mixture of fruity flavor.  Great snack, I love that it's organic & sized to take on the go.

 







Prince of Peace - Original Ginger Honey Crystals 
-It comes in a packet with little yellow crystals which is really attractive.  They dissolve right away once you add hot water.  It has a concentrated taste of ginger, & is lightly sweet.  It's spicy ginger taste is prominent.  There is a noticable ginger smell with a little bit of a bitter aftertaste.  I have to add to it, with lemon, honey or sugar to mellow it out to better enjoy & compliment the taste.




 














Tiger Balm - Pain Relieving Ointment
-It has a clear gel consistency.  Right away you can smell the menthol smell, it applies easily.  I rubbed it on my back when it was hurting.  It warms up after a little while & helps relax the pain.  I also tried it to clear up my sinuses by rubbing some on my chest & this helps to clear things up.  It works great & I would recommend.








Awesome box?  Yes. I really want to win another one.  
Thank you Daily Goodie Box & all of the mentioned Brands!

Lightlife Smart Dogs Meatless Veggie Dogs from Social Nature Review - #gotitfree #trynatural #meatfromplants


http://lightlife.com/products/smart-dogs




I recently received a voucher from Social Nature to redeem a free sample of Lightlife Smart Dogs Meatless Veggie Hot Dogs. I picked mine up at Target.  To receive this sample, I just created a profile on their website & selected it from their product listings & hit the red "WANT IT" button.  I was just lucky enough to get picked to try them!

An overview of Lightlife Smart Dogs Meatless Veggie Hot Dogs:

  • Good source of protein (Smart Dog 7g per link, Jumbo Smart Dogs® 13g per link)

  • http://lightlife.com/products/smart-dogs 


I topped mine with ketchup & mustard;
I tried to make it pretty, but FAILED



I really liked these, they smelled like "normal" hot dogs & had the same consistency, but didn't have the same taste. These are a healthy alternative from meat hot dogs & I would recommend them. 

I boiled mine in hot water & they cooked really fast (2 minutes). I topped with ketchup & mustard as I usually eat my hot dogs. I don't like eating meat hot dogs, because of all of the by-products, fillers, chemicals in them, so this satisfies my cravings when I want one.

If you are a vegetarian, or you just want a healthy good for you hot dog, these are worth a try.
