❤ Influenster: The Holly Jolly Vox Box! ❤

I just joined up at this very cool site called Influenster where you get to review products from all different kinds of companies and let other peeps know how you liked them. Yep, it's pretty awesome. So I got my first box from them and this is what was inside!!! Behold!! Can you guess which one I liked the best? *dimple*

 
 1.) Rimmel London Show Off Lip Laquer in Aurora. Here are the deets!  The formula was nice but I wasn't too keen on the smell of it. I like mine unscented or smelling of vanilla & this wasn't either. *pout* The color is kind of like an orangy red which is not my color at all. I tend to lean towards colors like fuschia or bubble gum pinks but color is all about preference, isn't it! *wink*  
2.) Blue Flower Duck Tape - Cute! I'm sure I'll use it for some of my packaging.  
3.) Puffs Plus Lotion Tissues - An essential in any purse if you ask me. You never know when you'll need them! And they're in a resealable package which is cool.  
4.) NYC Eyeshadow Trio Palette - I don't often use eyeshadow maybe because I'm so obsessed with lipstick!! haha...but this seemed really light in pigmentation. Pretty colors though.    
5.) And you guessed it, my favorite...Skinny Cow Peanut Butter Cremes. Yep, these were consumed in 2.0 seconds. No kidding! Yum! They tasted very similar to one of my fav Sarris Peanut Butter Meltaway Chocolates.

nutella....the food of the gods...

Nutella, the food of the gods....oh, man, someone bring me a jar or two of this right now!!! giggle...

Did you know... the Nutella spread was first created by Pietro Ferrero, the founder of the Ferrero company, in the backroom of a pastry shop in 1944?

Born in 1898, Ferrero began his career as a pastry maker in Dogliani. He then moved to Turin, where he opened his own pastry shop. During World War Two, Ferrero was forced to move his pastry shop to Alba. Together with his wife Piera, Ferrero himself began experimenting with different recipes. As chocolate was not widely available then due to the war rationing of cocoa, Ferrero used hazelnuts instead. (Hazelnuts were in abundance in Italy's Piedmont region.) By the end of the war, Ferrero's efforts had paid off with the invention of a chocolate-like paste that mixed roasted hazelnuts with cocoa butter and vegetable oil.
