Miz Couponista Clipping Coupons Before Coupon Clipping Was Cool!

Around June of this year I signed up with a program called Influenster. From their website:

Apply to our trendsetter community and use your influence to qualify for complimentary PRODUCT SHIPMENTS, REWARDS & DEALS fit for your lifestyle. The more active you are, the more perks you get!

I love snail mail boxes, and I am always doing a survey for someone, so I figured why not. I imagined it would be months until I was chosen for a “VoxBox”, but I wasn’t brooding about it. Most programs ask for 100% participation on several occasions before you are up for perks. To my surprise I was chosen a few weeks ago for a Latina VoxBox. It arrived a few days ago. 🙂 Here is the blog I did for it http://www.mizcouponista.com/2012/08/22/influenster-latina-vox-box/

Since then it’s been pretty quiet for me, but then I found out that Influenster Relaunched their site in September.

There are way more things, tasks, to be done to get anywhere and it’s kind of overwhelming. I really like the program and had much fun with my box that I’d love to take part again. I think I’ll pace myself for now so it’s worth the effort. Does that make sense?

Here is a link so you can sign up. influenster.com Join me, it’s fun!

You may remember I did a post about belonging to Influentster. I posted pictures off all the fabulous FREE products they gave me in a Latina Vox Box. I eagerly tried all of the products except the wax strips. I’ve never used them before and, to be honest, was scared to death to do so. Until the other night… Before I continue here is a little bit about the product.

The follow review is 100% my own. Though I was given the product for free, it was to review purposes only.

I after I showered I sat on my bathroom floor. I swear as I was reading the instructions I was shaking. My boyfriend on the other had was laughing. He stopped when I threatened to use the Veet on his chest.

I got the first strip and per instruction I rubbed it between my hands. I pulled the strips apart, placed them on my leg and rubbed more. By this time it was all or nothing, I counted to 3 and yanked the strip off. MOTHER OF GAWD IT HURT! There were a few places that the hair was still there. I was irritated, but not angry. I figured I did it wrong.

Long story short, I did the rest of my leg and then the other. The only thing I did different was just  to put the strip on my leg and rub and rub. It seemed to take off more hair that way.

I’m happy to report that it’s been almost a week and I still don’t need to shave. Since I made it though the ordeal alive and the screaming grew less and less I’ll try it again.
