Influenster GoVoxBox

My latest box that I received from Influenster is called the "GoVoxBox". This box included health and wellness items, which I absolutely loved! The items included:

  • PROFOOT Triad Orthotic Shoe Liners
    • This product is great! I work on my feet all day, and putting these in my work shoes made them so much more comfortable! I would definitely recommend these, even though they are a bit pricey at $10.49 per pack.
  • PROFOOT Pedi-Rock
    • This item is probably my favorite one from the GoVoxBox. This pedi-rock is easy to use, and removes the dead skin from my feet. I recommend this to EVERYONE, because everyone needs to be using this during the summer when all you wear are flip flops! This retails for $8.99, but it is SO worth it!
  • Playtex Sport Fresh Balance
    • I actually received an entire box of these in my VarsityVoxBox. I do like these tampons, and a girl can never have enough. These are relatively cheap, at $3.99 a box.
  • Blue Diamond Fruit Flavored Almonds
    • This was my least favorite product out of the box. Its not that they were disgusting; they just weren't for me. I normally don't like almonds, and I don't really like anything blueberry flavored. So they were kind of weird for me personally. I'm sure other people like them though! They are $3.19 for a 4oz bag!
  • Müller Green Corner Yogurt
    • Obviously they can't ship yogurt, so there was a coupon for my choice of a free yogurt cup! I love yogurt, so I was really excited about this! I chose vanilla yogurt that came with a chocolatey cereal topping, which was delicious! They are pretty affordable, at $1.29 each.
  • Aqua Spa Relax Body Creme
    • In this box, you either received the body creme or the bath salts. I received the body creme, and I was really happy I got this one because I never take baths. This lotion smells AMAZING. It really does smell like a spa. It has lavender and chamomile, and it feels so good on your skin! It is pricey for a store like Walmart, at $9.99 each, but pretty cheap compared to stores like Bath and Body Works! 
  • Vitamin Shoppe Fit N Full Shakes + Jaxx Shaker Bottle
    • I have tried protein shakes before, and I love them! In this box there were three different flavors: chocolate, vanilla, and berries. The chocolate shake was by far my favorite, and it kept me full all day! I also loved that it came with a shaker bottle to mix it up with! These are expensive, but all weight loss/protein shakes are. This retails for $18.74 (on sale at vitaminshoppe.com) for 14 individual shakes.
Overall, I really enjoyed the products in the GoVoxBox. I love trying out any health and wellness items, and I definitely found some new favorites! I hope you enjoyed this review, and try a few of these products!

I'm a Senior Already?!

It feels so surreal. When I started my freshman year in the fall of 2011, the thought of being a senior felt so far away. I didn't even think about it. Now, my junior year is over, and senior year starts in August. My final year of college. It still hasn't hit me yet. And it probably won't even hit me until I walk across the stage at graduation.

As a freshman, I remember being told to cherish every moment of college, because it all goes by so fast. I am just now realizing how true that is. In one short year, my college career will be behind me, and I will join the "real world". While I am excited for that chapter of my life to begin, I also want to stay focused on the present, and to truly cherish every single moment of my senior year of college.

It's also hard to believe that a little more than four years ago, I was touring Campbellsville University for the first time. I will never forget my first time on this campus. Before Campbellsville, I had toured several other colleges. I liked some of them alright, but I hadn't fallen in love with just one college yet. One was too far away, and the others just didn't feel like home to me. However, this wasn't the case at all with Campbellsville University. The moment I began my tour, I realized that I felt comfortable here. This was somewhere that I could definitely see myself staying for four years. I felt at peace whenever I thought about being a student here, and that's when I knew that this is where God wanted me to be. Looking back at these past three years of college, I have never been more sure of this.

Because of Campbellsville University, I have received a great education, and am quickly on my way to receiving a degree in marketing. I have made the most amazing friendships that I know will last for the rest of my life. I have made countless memories and have so many funny stories that I will always cherish. I have been given some awesome opportunities, such as being a resident assistant, serving on the women's ministry lead team, and joining the honor society Omicron Delta Kappa. Most importantly, because of Campbellsville University, I put myself in an environment in which I could grow closer to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And because of all of this, I wouldn't change a thing.

I am so thankful that God allowed me to come to Campbellsville University, and for all the memories I have made so far. I am also thankful that I have one more year left, so I don't have to say goodbye just yet! Here's to my senior year at Campbellsville!
