Bonuses When You Feel Down

But when I'm having off days where I feel yucky, I get excited for little bonuses. A few days ago, I received my VoxBox in the mail and it was such a picker-upper. I like getting to try new products, especially when I get to give an honest opinion in return.
So, I got my VoxBox for free from Influenster and I dove right in. Sometimes I have a hard time not ripping open the box so I can take pictures. This time, the kids reminded me to take pictures, first. The pics are not pretty.
Here's what I got:
- SkinnyPop Microwavable Popcorn
- Probiotic Gummies
- Say Yes To... facial mask
- Coconut milk shampoo and conditioner
- Always pads (which are always useful)
- and a coupon for free yogurt

So far, I've tried the popcorn, probiotic gummies, the pads, and the hair care products.
Here are my honest opinions:
SkinnyPop Popcorn...um...amazing! Since I need to keep my salt levels up, this was great as a mid-day snack/lunch because I didn't really want to eat. It was easy to make but I needed to cook it for longer in the work microwave for about 45 seconds longer than the recommended directions.
Probiotic Gummies: they came at a great time. Most of our house was hit with some kind of tummy issue last weekend. This helped regulate all of us and I felt OK giving it to the boys. I prefer to take my supplements in gummy form because it makes it easier for me to ingest. They were a bit hard to chew but still doable.
Always Pads: They seriously ALWAYS come in handy! This may be TMI but I was having a bad cycle and this kept me clean and dry. No leaks - bonus points!!

Next up, I'll try the yogurt and the facial mask. The mask is 100% needed because my face decided to break out this week in a way that makes me cringe. I did NOT have any major acne high school or college so, at 36, I'm hating my skin like I should have at 16.
As for the yogurt, I'm apprehensive. I don't like yogurt but if this can get me to eat it without wanting to puke, I'm all for it.
These little bonuses are also getting me through a nasty cold this week. A little self-care goes a looooong way.
What do you do for self-care?
I received the VoxBox from Influenster for free but the opinions are 100% my own...if you can't tell.
