&lt;p&gt;I was handpicked to try this product by Palmolive and I must say that I was pleased with what was sent.  I received&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;A full size bottle of Palmolive Fresh Sponge liquid dish detergent (25 fl oz.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A new sponge, &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And 6 one dollar off coupons for future purchases of the product for myself and 5 friends. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2cf3yajBz1r00po9.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The items came packaged in the box you see above.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This product is said to be designed as a dual actual formula.  It not only cleans dishes to a sparkling shine, but also washes away odor causing residue from the sponge to help get rid of the stinky smell that comes with sponge use. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have only used the product once, however, be on the look out for a thorough review of the product in the near future. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://fricandfrac.tumblr.com/post/20939268213</link><guid>http://fricandfrac.tumblr.com/post/20939268213</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:40:29 -0400</pubDate><category>@influenster</category><category>palmolive fresh sponge</category></item><item><title>Gillette Venus and Olay Razor Review</title><description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I received the Gillete Venus and Olay Razor in my Love VoxBox. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since receiving it, I have used the razor 4 times, and I must say its such a great product.  The fact that it has the moisturizer in the Olay as well as the Venus cream to eliminate the need for an additional shaving cream is ingenious.  No more fiddling or dropping that cumbersome bottle in the shower.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have really sensitive skin under my arms and the Venus and Olay gave me no problems or scarring.  I felt moisturized after my shave.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The razor has 5 blades which get a pretty close shave.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The suction cup that comes on the shower holder could probably be a bit stronger.  It kept slipping off the glass in the shower. &lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m121bfRIGF1r5d56i.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall, I very happy with this product and would definitely recommend it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://fricandfrac.tumblr.com/post/20936560295</link><guid>http://fricandfrac.tumblr.com/post/20936560295</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:02:00 -0400</pubDate><category>goddess skin</category><category>@gillettevenus</category><category>lovevoxbox</category><category>@influenster</category></item><item><title>Kiss Nail Dress Review</title><description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1d5vn13jT1r5d56i.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I received my Kiss Nails Nail Dress in my #lovevoxbox from Influenster earlier this month. I tried out my nails and I must say, I love the product. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They were oh so easy to apply.  I did it in about 15 mins at my desk at work.  That was really great because since having my son, I have been unsuccessful at giving myself a manicure or painting my nails and getting to the salon is SOOO rare. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the Kiss Nail Dress, I can have cute, stylish nails at a fraction of the price.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are some of the available patterns&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1d659VK471r5d56i.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PROS:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Easy application&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Very cute stylish patterns and styles&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Inexpensive: Retails between $6-8 for 28 strips&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can be used for the fingers or toes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lasts about 7 days. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cons: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Strong chemical smell when you take the trips out of the package, but this tends to fade. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve only been able to locate the product at my local CVS pharmacy.  The product is new, so additional locations may be added in the future. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1d66o3E0V1r5d56i.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everywhere I went after applying the Nail Dress strips, people commented on my nails and how much they liked them.  At least once a day.  I was very surprised at what a hit they were.  I recommended them to everyone. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall, I think this is an affordable, time saving product that I will definitely be purchasing again. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Sometimes&lt;/strike&gt; More often than not, I just wanna go to mediatakeout and cringe at their typo filled headlines and redundantly shallow posts featuring bushy crotch shots of some celebrities I could give two f*cks about&amp;#8230;such a guilty pleasure. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A lot of times I wanna watch a &lt;strike&gt;self proclaimed&lt;/strike&gt; fashionista on youtube share her haul of drug store makeup to include swatches of 12 different nude lipsticks that no one can really see on her arm anyway and avante garde forever 21 clothing&amp;#8230;or watch another person&amp;#8217;s step by step process to achieve a fly twist out, as if I haven&amp;#8217;t seen 2234923493827 of those tutorials&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I visit huffingtonpost every day too, tho&amp;#8230;cause it makes me feel sophisticated&amp;#8230;even though im not and im just filling my head with the modern day version of East Coast vs. West Coast battle that is our current political climate, the Left vs. the Right&amp;#8230;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I know, I&amp;#8217;m rambling, but I&amp;#8217;m longing for some food for thought.  Some useful information, some motivation, something provocative and richly written&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But I don&amp;#8217;t know where to go. :-( &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://fricandfrac.tumblr.com/post/18639854587</link><guid>http://fricandfrac.tumblr.com/post/18639854587</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Mar 2012 21:45:36 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>If I Don't Just...: i just realized i'm a "big idea" person</title><description>&lt;a href="http://ifidontjust.tumblr.com/post/18120545759/i-just-realized-im-a-big-idea-person"&gt;If I Don't Just...: i just realized i'm a "big idea" person&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ifidontjust.tumblr.com/post/18120545759/i-just-realized-im-a-big-idea-person"&gt;ifidontjust&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
