Becoming Coco

I recently discovered a great new app and site called Influenster. Basically if you are a blogger, social media frequenter and good at reviews you can use this app to try new products. Once you get enough points for making good reviews they send you a box of a product to try. My first box was zzzquil. It was super exciting to be included and I got good use from it since I just returned from a trip and was needing a way to get back to my normal time schedule .  See my unboxing video and full review here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNx1NtLW7Co Disclaimer: I received the sample for free in exchange for my opinion.

(Sadly those clothes/accessories are not necessarily paired to match or create a complete outfit. They want you to have to mix them with your own clothes) - You wear the items (don't ri...

Most people would hang up as soon as they heard the robot voice, great option, but some people like me may stay on. I have received many legitimate free vacations in the past, however once I got to the "end" of this call I was sure it was not legitimate, or at least not worth the risk. Read on so you can be informed and warn your friends and family. I received a phone call from a woman voiced robot at 1 (619) 273-5937 San Diego Area. She was a robot, not just recording, because she would ask a question and respond to your answers. She said that Holiday Cruise (the company name) is giving away their unused cabins in hopes of getting positive word of mouth advertising. I simply had to state that I was over 18 and had ...
