I love to try new stuff (hence, this blog). When you try new stuff, you find new things to love. You also get the other extreme sometimes and it make you not want to try new things.
The LÄRABAR wasn't either really... but it did disappoint me, a bit.
I guess I've tried so many different protein bars and 'health nut' bars, that I had really set the bar high as to what this one would give. It definitely gave me the perception of some yummy for my tummy when reading the description.
Yeah... not so much. While it had good flavor, which is something you really want, it had the texture and consistency of a mud pie. Literally. With an occasional rock... er.. nut to crunch on. Maybe it was the particular one I tried, but I can't imagine others would have too much different of a texture.
So unfortunately,I don't see any more of my business heading that way anytime soon. I'd be willing to try it again, just to see if my first impression was wrong... but so very few times is your first impression of ANYTHING wrong.
Body Butter. It just sounds scrumptious! In yet another find in my Birchbox, this one I was also excited to try. I seem, more often than not really excited to try the stuff I get in that thing!
Jouer Body Butter
has a subtle blend of gardenia, jasmine, and honeysuckle... one of my favorite scents is gardenia. There's always just been something about it. I will warn you, you need to really love the scent of gardenias because it can be strong, but if you do, you'll love this! The product is loaded with good for your skin stuff, like shea butter, jojoba, and coconut oil. And unlike some body butters, it feels really light going on your skin and absorbs right in.
I really liked this one. For all the reasons above. I will likely buy this sometime in the future... maybe when my bath renovation is complete. Or just because.
I'm a fruity kind of girl. At least when it comes to scents I like. So when I found a sample of Harvey Prince - Ageless in my Birchbox this month, I was a little excited to try it!
Why, you ask? Well, the description for one - pink grapefruit, pomegranate, luscious mango, with a dry down of jasmine. 
Like I said, I'm a fruity kind of girl, especially if some sort of citrus is involved! But then I read more about it. This isn't just some musk you throw on when you go out. They actually did research and found this combination of scents actually make you smell younger! How cool is that??
Not that I was looking to smell younger, but you have to admit, it's pretty cool side effect.
So my thoughts on this, as a whole? I did love the scent, regardless if it made me smell younger. Personally, I almost think a fresh, citrus smell is a common sense young smell. It seems as women age, they tend to buy more musky stuff... and really lay it on thick! It's no wonder we think of musk being for older women! Would I buy Ageless? That's probably the better question... and one I'm not sure how to answer. I like it, but I also think there are similar scents that don't cost as much. But then, there's research behind this one, not just someone saying, "Oh, I like the smell of that!" So I guess it depends on what you're looking for. I don't actually wear enough perfume to warrant buying a full size bottle of anything. So I'll just stick with my samples. For now.
I apologize for my lack of blogs over the past month... the holidays really got me busy and sampling just hasn't been in the cards!! But I promise, I'm getting back on it and hope to have lots of blogs to post shortly!
