20$ off Healthy Surprise Coupon on Plum District! (:

Hello everyone! So, I'll be back to posting reviews after my graduation and finals are done and over with! Yay (:
So till then, I have found a rather snatchable deal on Plum District.

Plum district is...

"an e-commerce platform and media property focused strictly on Moms and their needs. We are By Moms, For Moms, a community of moms connecting other moms to products and inspiration to make our lives easier. We’re here to spark the sort of connections that make mom’s day by offering great values for her and her family."

You can snatch up deals that are discounted 50 to 80% off! Just sign up/subscribe.

The current deal that caught my attention is for Healthy Surprise, a subscription service for healthy snackers. The coupon given is a free coupon for 20$ off ANY subscription plan for Healthy Surprise.

 The cheapest payment plan is 33$ + 6.99$ Shipping (Starter Box).  With the 20$ off coupon, the box comes down to only 19.99$- A pretty sweet deal, considering how you can feed 1-2 people with some of the best healthy snacks out there!

If you would like to see an example of what Healthy Surprise sends out for the starter box, you can check out a previous review here.

The best part? The coupon expires in July- it gives you enough time to do your research and decide whether you want to get it or not. (:  So why not subscribe to Plum District? Trust me, the deals are really worth it (especially if you are looking for some good gifts for a mother).

Anyways, if I find anymore deals, I'll be sure to alert you all! Till then, Congratulations to any other College Graduate that will be graduating this month- Best wishes to you all.

Olay Fresh Effects Review

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Jaqtastic Review!  Today, I will be reviewing one of the products from my Influester Sweetheart Voxbox for 2013.

Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid

Influenster - Sweetheart VoxBox 2013

Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid! Powered Contour Cleansing System: $12.99
   "Is a dull, winter complexion dragging you down? Liberate your skin from dirt, oil, and makeup for fresh, fearless, unstoppable freshness.
An ingeniously designed power brush to get around your face’s contours—the T-zone, hairline, and nose—for a 400% better clean compared to basic cleansing. A simple tool to take you from lackluster to va-va-vivid in one easy step!"

Confusion can not describe what was going through my mind when I first opened this. A vibrator? On Influenster? It can not be! No wait, a cleanser. For faces...that vibrates. Whoosh! Well then, this sounds exciting.

Perfect for traveling.

How nifty is that? Only requires one battery!

So the cream is travel sized, where as the brush itself is just a miniature vibrating brush.  The fun thing about this is that it only requires the use of one battery, but even without the brush, you can still feel the effects of the cream.

Pros (+): Leaves your skin feeling moisturized and baby smooth. Now you have an excuse to have people touch your face, while you exclaim how 'baby soft' you feel. Creepy? I think not! It is not everyday you find a product that works this good. The brush itself is triangle shaped, which helps deep clean and get to the hard to reach areas, in order to fully clean and clear our pores.  The vibration motion is also pretty comforting. The results were felt immediately. Sparkling clean feeling!
Cons (-): None.  Wait, what? A product that has no flaws to me? I'll say, I must be dreaming! A dream it is indeed.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.  Whoa. Just Whoa. This works 1000% more than I expected. Best part? Sold in Walgreens and Riteaid. Awesome!

Even better? My face was left feeling like some dazzling princess. Do I recommend this? Why Yes, Yes I do.  All I need now is a crown, and a royal jester to complete my Princess makeover.

Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Review

Hello Everyone! Welcome to another Jaqtastic Review. Today, I will be reviewing one of the products from my Influester Sweetheart Voxbox for 2013. 

Influenster - Sweetheart VoxBox 2013

Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response: $6.99 for full size (5 oz.)

    "Oooh, confessing our love has got our hearts racing and underarms... sweating. Did you know that while heat, activity, and stress all cause sweat, stress sweat smells the worst. It comes from a different gland, causing more bacteria and odor.  Thank goodness for Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response antiperspirant and deodorant! It's the #1 doctor recommended defense against sweat and gives you 4x the protection of regular deodorants. So go ahead, be bold, be brave! Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response has got your back."

Upon receiving this box, I was pretty happy to find this in the box! I have been meaning to buy a new deodorant, and this was perfect to try out.

So I'm assuming this is a miniature size, as the full size is said to be a full 5 oz, whereas this one is almost 2 oz. Wow!  Still, this is a pretty convenient size and perfect for traveling. (winkwink, maybe this can help you on a journey of passion?)
Pros (+): This is not your regular deodorant. Whether you take that as good or bad thing is up to you.  Clinical Strength is more of a cream that comes out as you (forcefully) turn the knob. The cream builds up under your armpit, but spreading it causes it to dissolve.  A nice citrus orange smell emerges both before and after you spread it on.  Personally, I have noticed this to actually work and not cause any sudden sweat to smell through after a few hours.

Cons (-): When I first opened it, I was confused on how to work this. I know I know, it's a DEODORANT- but after twisting the handle left, right, and trying to pull the 'cap' off, I finally got it. It takes a while for it to 'come out' as it is cream based.  But once it does, it's easier afterwards.  Besides that, I didn't find no life breaking con. 
 
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Do I recommend this? Yes, Yes I do.  Besides being able to smell like a fresh orange, plucked from a beautiful tree, you'll also be able to protect yourself from any smell that might come about in a stressful situation.MY #StressSweat moment: During a Summit for College where I am to meet professionals of all backgrounds. Can anyone say YIKES? Talk about nerve wrecking. What do I say? What do I do? Should I dress fancy, or casual? How much resumes should I print out? Stressing!
