Blogs Of A Shopaholic

Hey everyone, I'm so excited to be writing this blog post as it's a review of my very first VoxBox.  Firstly, let me just quickly explain what a "VoxBox" is.  A VoxBox is a box full of full-size products that you are sent, completely free of charge, which in turn you review and keep.  I received mine from Influenster which I have been a member of since I started my blog last year.  It's an app that allows you to post reviews on products and likewise, read reviews that people have posted.  The more you post to the app the higher your chances are of being selected for free products.  I was actually tagged via an Instagram friend for this particular campaign (thank you @bekahscrazyworld ) and I have to be honest, when I signed up I completely forgot about it and didn't think I would be in with a chance at all.  As the title says, this box is in collaboration with Max Factor.  I love Max Factor make up ...

Hey everyone, It's that time again when I review my monthly My Little Box and let you know my thoughts on what's inside.  If you have followed my blog for a while you will know that, for the best part, I've had a great relationship with this subscription box, but there have been a few up's and down's along the way.  None more so than in 2017.  I feel that they started off on such a good note with the January box (my review of this can be found here ), but fell short of the mark in February and since then I've not really known what to expect from month to month. Last month's Los Angeles box (review linked here ) was ok but I felt the box was let down with the lack of thought put into the theme and therefore giving me the impression that, at some point, whoever creates these boxes had got a bit bored and started chucking anything in.  I made no secret that I would wait for the July box to see whether I would keep my su...

Hey everyone, Last week marked the first anniversary of "Blogs Of A Shopaholic" and it really got me looking back on this time last year and how I felt about starting a blog. It was a massive step for me to publish that first post.  I can remember it consumed my every thought..."shall I do it?"...."I really would like to give it a try"...."no, I can't do it"...until I eventually realised if I don't do it, what example would I be setting for my boys? I constantly tell them they can do or be whatever they want to do or be, that if there is something they want to do, then just do it, so I did it, to show them that you shouldn't worry what people may think or that you may get a bit embarrassed about something, just do it! And I'm so glad I did.  If you haven't seen the very first post on Blogs Of A Shopaholic I shall link it here . The question I read on a lot of blogs is "what have I learned"? I actually think I...
