influenster bloom voxbox: Sunbelt bakery granola bar

Bloom VoxBox

I literally got my bloom VoxBox (free from influenster!) out of my mailbox just over a half hour ago. I was super excited to find a granola bar from Sunbelt Bakery inside. Mostly because I love snacks and I just got out of work and was super hungry! So right away, I took photos and ate it! Now, I've got four little boys. I buy so many granola bars I should have stock in them. This was literally the best granola bar I've tasted in my life. I've never bough sunbelt bakery brand before--I usually grab whatever is cheap not even looking for a certain brand. Now I need to go find all the sunbelt varieties! The one I tried is fudge dipped chocolate chip (scroll down for my artistic photos!). It was soft and chewy (I HATE hard granola bars) with a great texture. The taste was sweet enough to be considered a treat, but not so much that I felt bad eating it. The wrapper boasts "no preservatives", which makes me happy, as well as "bakery-fresh taste" which is true. This weekend, I'll be hunting down the oatmeal raisin bars. Overall, a great product. At $2.69 for a 10 count box, it's not much more than the "cheap" bars. The quality if definitely worth the extra $0.69!

sample share: mr. sketch scented markers

crowdkit!

 

 

 

 As a kid, I was always wicked jealous of any kid that came to school with Mr. Sketch markers. There was something really neat about sticking those marker practically up your nose and smelling them. Only the cool kids got to bring them in with their school supplies. Fast forward to now: I didn't even realize Mr. Sketch was still around. My ever-lasting 90s nostalgia made these a "I need to own these RIGHT NOW" product. I joined the crowdtap Mr. Sketch crowd the second I saw it and crossed my fingers for a sample share. I applied right away and was stoked to get in. When they came in, I was barely about to get a photo of the package before my four kids grabbed them and went right to coloring. The scents are shown on the packaging, which got passed around any time one of the boys opened up a new color. Many of them are just as I remembered--the one notable exception is cinnamon as the brown scent. I miss the chocolate scented marker! The only thing I could say that isn't overly positive is that the markers were a bit hard to remove the caps the first time they were used (it was less difficult after the initial cap removal) and that, as I thought when I was 10, licorice is still an awful scent. The colors are all bright and smell fun (except black, of course) and the kids had a blast coloring with them. Most of the colors even had a hint of scent after a week of the drawing sitting on the counter. True to the packaging, they are washable and came off my kids hands (and from under their noses...) super easily. Over all, super happy with this blast from my past! Check out the photos below to see how much fun my boys had sampling:

smells good!

clean hands!
