Review: MuvUSA Sport & Running Armband for iPhone 5, 5S, 5C and iPod Touch 5 (Black)


I recently got some new workout clothes and they look and feel great but the only downside to them is no pockets! Needless to say I was on the hunt for a way to run with my iPhone without having to hold it.

I have tried the MuvUSA Sport & Running Armband both when running and while at the gym and I love the freedom!




This armband fits my iPhone5 perfectly and is actually pretty comfortable. I have tried it over a sleeve and without a sleeve and it works just as well both ways! What I love most is it does not slip down which is the problem I have had with these types of items in the past. It is easy to use the phone through the plastic cover.

This armband is also sweat and water resistant as well as scratch resistant so you do not have to worry about damaging your phone or iPod. For me a case with a clip would still be the best option but this product is only $12 so it is well worth the cost.

This product comes in Black and Pink and you can purchase it on Amazon for $11.99 with free prime shipping.

December 2014 Popsugar Must Have Box Unboxing & Review

Please watch my unboxing video and then come back and read this post :)









The Popsugar Must Have Box is a subscription box which costs $39.99 per month, BUT all the products you get are full size and the boxes are always worth more than $100! If you love getting surprises than this box is for you!








The items in the box:

1.) SPUN by Subtle Luxury Speckled Metallic Scarf: This is such a pretty scarf! It is not too heavy so it can really be used any time of the year which is a huge plus! Value: $62

2.) Sparklepop Sydney Necklace: Prettiest necklace ever in a Popsugar box? No. Ugliest? Still No. Even though I am not in love with this necklace I will still wear it. Value: $42

3.) Canvas Dauville Platinum Bowl: The only item in this months box that I will not use. I just really have no need for a bowl like this. If it were pretty then I would find something to put in it but I do not really like it as a decoration. $29

4.) Smashbox Be Legendary Long-Wear Lip Lacquer: Super pigmented and super chic color lip lacquer. Love it! $24

5.) Knot & Bow Parcel Tags: I can see why some people may not like having this as an item. However, at the time I opened the box I needed tags for gifts. They do not come with strings which was a bummer so I just stuck them onto the gifts with tape. $4

6.) Williams-Sonoma Cupcake Mix in Vanilla Bean.: I can not wait to try this! I have so much holiday goodness leftover that I want to hold off on making this until I finish all the other leftover treats. Can. Not. Wait!!! $14.95

The total value of the box is awesome compared to the price you pay! I will get much more use out of the items in this box than I did in last months. This box was also MUCH MUCH better than last Decembers box. The last couple boxes however have only had 6 items when most boxes come with 7 or even 8.

Total value of the box: $175.95

Review: iPhone 5/5S/5C Anti-Glare Anti-Fingerprint Matte Screen Protectors


Screen protectors are very important to keep the screen of your phone (or any touch device) protected from direct, oil, and scratches. I usually buy the Zagg brand just because they seem to be one of the most popular on the market but I was recently sent one from Cost Brothers and I like them just as much, if not better, than the Zagg brand.

It fit my iPhone 5 perfectly and I loved how my finger prints and makeup did not show up on the protector making my phone look dirty. 

I also loved that the protector was protective but also still very thin so that it did not interfere with the touch screen!

You can purchase a 3 pack on Amazon for $5.49 with free prime shipping! This item is currently on sale but the original price of $23 is still cheaper than the Zagg ones you purchase from Best Buy or Staples.




I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

November 2014 Popsugar Must Have Box Unboxing & Review

Please watch my unboxing video and then come back and read this post :)













The Popsugar Must Have Box is a subscription box which costs $39.99 per month, BUT all the products you get are full size and the boxes are always worth more than $100! If you love getting surprises than this box is for you!







The items in the box:

1.) Simon & Schuster The Secret Recipes Book : I have no use for recipe books as I find all my recipes online. However, I did sell the book and got about $15-$20 back for it so it was worth getting some money back from the box. Value: $35

2.) SORIAL Saffiano Wallet on  a Chain: This is the big ticket item in this months box and I love it. This wallet is super chic and I love the navy blue color! Value: $49

3.) K. Hall Simpatico Ambergris Shea Butter Cream: Even though I am stocked up like a CVS, a lotion is always a good item to give in a winter box. $22

4.) Tiny Prints Thoughtful Heart Stationery: This stationary is SO cute that I wish I still wrote letters. I am not sure if I will gift it or hang on to it to when I do need to write a note. $15

5.) Wine Glass Writer Custom 3-Pack for Popsugar: These are so cool. You can write on your wine glass and easily wipe it off also so it does not stain the glass. Even though it is cool I personally have no use for it. First, I do not drink wine and second I do not ever have parties so it is just not useful to me. $9.95

6.) G.H Cretors Chicago Mix Poppped Corn: This Popcorn was a delicious caramel and cheese mix. However, only half the bag was filled the rest was air. Still love getting delicious food in the box $3.69

The total of the box was even lower than lasts months total which was lower than most months. Also this box contained two less items than last months box. The box was worth my money since I will personally use half the items and got money back for the book but it was not the most exciting. 

Total value of the box: $134.64
