When I was asked to do a review for BuildaSign.com the first thing that sprang into my head was, oh cool a sign for my blog for when I do events. I’ve been asked to do one or two events in the past and would have liked to have something like that handy. When I got to the BuildaSign.com I realized there were a lot more uses for a durable signs.
There are so many different types and sizes of signs available on Buildasign.com you could use them for lots of things. I did end up making one for my blog:
This is my ethusiastic son holding up my banner for me. Lol. I love it. The did a great job with my blog theme and love that I could choose different colors for the background. I had also used a custom banner like this for my sister’s bridal shower. I made up a banner that had her and her husband’s name on it with the wedding date and in their wedding theme. I thought it might be cool to keep it and use it for milestone anniversary parties for them.
They also have yard signs you can create. Use them to show your school spirit, make a generic yard sale sign you can use over and over, or announce the birth of a baby. There are so many different signs and so many different uses. Even street signs, maybe a NFL fan personalized street sign?
I also got some magnets and business cards from buildasign.com that I was really happy with. I love to be able to customize my promo materials with my own logo, wording, and colors. Even if you don’t have all that they have ready made templates for you to use.
Waddaya think? I thought they turned out pretty nice. Something I’m proud to share with people anyway. I had my items in just a little over a week which I thought was good for a custom product of the quality these are. I would definitely recommend Buildasign.com for your event, party, or promotional needs.

I’ve been a member of Influenster for some time now. I’ve received a few Influenster vox boxes and I’ve never been disappointed. I was chosen to receive the Suave Family Vox Box this time. It includes a full size Suave product for mom, dad, and kids. I understand that not everyone that got in on this one is getting the same box so here is what was in mine.
I received Suave Mens 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner in the scent “ocean charge”, Suave Kids The Smurfs 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the scent “razzle-dazzle raspberry, and Suave Naturals Creamy milk and honey splash body wash pour moi! The all smell wonderful. I have 4 kids and the Suave Kids is a big bottle. This will definitely be used. My hubby and older boys already use the Suave Mens 2-in-1 ‘s and my youngest son is excited to try the “blue one” lol.

Winter time is a time for me to add to my daily routine. By this time it is now a daily routine to apply lotion and lip balm lest I want my skin to drive me crazy and be self conscious about my dry lips. Using Carmex products has a certain nostalgia for me. My grandmother used to use it and I don’t know what it is, but I love the smell of it. Just because it’s been around since 1937, doesn’t mean it has to look like it.
This year Carmex is offering the Carmex Moisture Plus sticks in 4 graphically-printed lip balms, each with it’s own personality.
These slim designer sticks can easily fit into a purse, pocket, or backpack. So which of these fit your personality? If you’re not sure you can take the quiz at: http://mycarmex.com/uniquelyyou/ I did, it said my style is: Chic I was kinda leaning towards that anyway and actually you can see that’s the one I opened to try right away in the pictures. I love the classics. I love the style of people like the Duchess Kate and Victoria Beckham, modest beauty. The other designs are really cool though. Your personality might be Fab, Whimsical, Adventurous, or Chic.
If I were to create my own personality sticks I’d love to see a Rock Princess personality maybe black with cute little skulls with a pink bow on it. Or maybe Glam with some rhinestones on it. I’d love those too. I’m classic most the time but when I want to step it up a notch I go to one of those fashion personalities.
These sticks are perfect for moisturizing but they also have spf 15 to protect your lips as well. These sleek and stylish tubes would fit nicely into a Christmas stocking or gift basket.

**I received a Bulu Box in exchange for an honest review. No other compensation has been received. Any opinions expressed are my own**
Bulu Box is a box subscription service that let’s you try health, nutrition, and weight loss supplements. They can contain products like weight loss supplements, protein supplements, vitamins, fitness DVDs, sleep supplements, and more.
The above picture is a stock picture from Bulu box. Looks pretty promising. I’ve tried Smarty Pants vitamins before and love them. Fitness DVD? Why not, I’ll give new exercises a go. The description on the site states you’ll get 4 to 5 premium products that will make you feel and look your best. Personally, when I walk into a health and nutrition store, my head spins. I don’t know what half the supplements are for, Most of the health and weight loss products are crazy expensive, and the healthy snacks are usually twice as much as a..well..unhealthy snack. So some premium samples would be a much simpler way to figure out what might work for you, what something actually tastes like before you buy a full case or bottle.
Well, I got my Bulu Box to review.
I’ll be honest, it’s not what I was expecting. There were 5 foil packs of one time use supplements. Considering the box is only regular $10/mo I guess I shouldn’t have expected bigger samples. I received:
–Slimming Smoothie Portion Pack good for one shake
–Natural Vitality Natural Calm anti-stress drink good for one drink
–Burn 360 fat burner supplement 1 day supply
–Amino Endurance & Recovery Agent 1 serving
–Power Ice Lime Kicker frozen sports hydration, 1 serving
There was also a $25 gift code to LiveWell360.com good for $25 off a full price fitness bag. I thought this might be where the pay off is but the bags are $160 for the cheapest one.
What I can say about this box is it’s only $10/mo with free shipping. They also have a couple coupon offers if you would like to try it:
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
