HauteLegs offered to send a one of their subscription packages and of course I said yes. HauteLegs is a leg wear subscription that sends trendy hosiery, tights, leggings and socks to your door. As of Jan 2014, there have been changes to the Hautelegs. Now, you choose your 3 favorite styles and HauteLegs will send them in your first package! Next month, they will email you a customized boutique to select from. You'll choose 2 pairs from your boutique and they will also send you their featured pair of the month with tips on how you can wear it best. I don't buy leg wear too often, but I was excited to see what I would receive.
I recently joined Influenster and was approved for my first Vox Box. Influenster is a online community where you write reviews, complete surveys and give your thought about products and experiences. You connect your social networks and as you complete tasks, you earn free boxes to review. I got chosen to try the Colgate Slim Soft Vox Box.
The Box
First Look
The Goodies
1. Colgate Slim Soft Toothbrush.
From the Manufacturer
17x slimmer tip bristles for a deep clean
6x* deeper reach between teeth and gums
1.5x** deeper access between teeth
35% more bristles for unique mouth feel
An ergonomic and flexible handle
My Thoughts
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much. I mean, it's a toothbrush, how exciting can it be. I tried out the Colgate Slim Soft toothbrush and was amazed how soft it felt on my teeth and gums. I have sensitive teeth and this toothbrush didn't bother me at all. It also cleaned better than my usual toothbrush. I usually get my toothbrushes from my dentist. The Colgate Slim Soft Tooth brush also cleans those hard to reach areas of my mouth.
2. Colgate Total Advanced Pro Shield Peppermint Blast
From the Manufacturer
Kills 99% of Germs
Significantly Reduces Plaque
Helps Prevent Gingivitis
No Burn of Alcohol
Freshens Breath
My Thoughts
This is alcohol free and didn't burn my mouth when I used it. I don't normally use mouthwash, because I don't like the after taste. This didn't have that unpleasant after taste and it kept my mouth fresh
3. Colgate Total Advanced Whitening
From the Manufacturer
This fights germ for 12 hours and helps prevent:
Plaque
Gingivitis
Tarter Build Up
Cavities
Bad Breath
My Thoughts
I am rather picky about my toothpaste. This has a nice minty flavor that kept my mouth fresh and clean.
M is for Monster was founded by a mom, that got tired of pinning, prepping and shopping for supplies, so she could do fun and educational activities with her children. It took too much time researching, planning and putting together fun activities for her children. She wanted to spend more time with her children and help other mom's do the same, so she founded M is for Monster.

I was excited when Treats and Trends sent me a box to review. Trends and Trends is a subscription box for pets and their owners. Trends and Trends has boxes for dogs, cats, and a mixed box for dogs and cats. They also included items in the box for YOU! I think this is really original and a cute idea. Treats and Trends also gives 10% back to rescue shelters. I love it when companies give back. Oliver and I were sent the cat box to review. Let me tell you, this cat is 8 years old, but went nuts when he smelled the box (in a good way).

Oliver must have smelled the catnip in the box. He jumped on the table with the box, as soon as I got it from the front porch. Oliver went crazy when I gave him one. A warning: these look very realistic but they are fake. If you don't like mice, these might give you a fright.
This smells great. It has a very mild scent, maybe vanilla with some floral notes? I am not sure. If you notice, the wick is different than most wicks. They use 100% organic wood wicks to keep a pure scent and prevent yucky black soot.
This is fragrance free, dye free and all natural. The ingredients sound like a yummy recipe: purred pumpkin, fresh ground cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. There is also anatural blend of saponofied Palm, Soybean, Olive and Castor oils. This doesn't have a strong smell and left my hands feeling smooth and clean.
I love these. I have a nail polish addiction and don't have any nail stickers. These arrive just in time for Halloween.
Note for Oliver and I
Treats and Trends sent me a note thanking me for the review and gave me a coupon to share! See below for the coupon.
The Whole Box
What did Oliver think?
Since this is a cat box, it's important for Oliver to give his option. Of course, Oliver can't talk, but his actions spoke volumes. Oliver is 8 years old and a bit of a lazy cat. As soon as I got the box from the door step, Oliver followed me. I gave him one of the bathed mice and he loved it. He rolled on it. played with it, ran around the house with it, and I believe ate it. Also, apparently last night, Oliver want another mouse. He went downstairs and attacked my box, looking for more treats! I am glad I took pictures when I did!

Final Thought: The total value for this box was $41.04 and the purchase price would have been $34.95 at most. Treats and Trends also has an online store. You can purchase all the items from the box there. I linked my review to the manufacturers website for most of the items, but Treats and Trends were right with price. Oliver received 4 items and I received 3. Oliver loved all his treats and I was amazed how excited he was about the box, before I even opened it. Oliver usually just stares at me when I try to play with him, but Oliver when nuts for this box. Oliver and I give Treats and Trends, 2 thumbs, and 2 paws up.
