Review: Spiex Women Small Wallet Trifold RFID Blocking Wallet Genuine Leather Credit Card Holder

I was sent this Genuine Leather Wallet for reviewing purposes. When I first received the wallet I was so excited to see how spacious it was for a small wallet. When you first open the wallet there are six slots for credit cards which are all very roomy so that the cards do not get stuck. There is a slot on the outside of the wallet for you to put your ID, once again very roomy so no more fighting with my current wallet to give me my ID when I want it! On the inside of the wallet, in the bill section, there are two more card slots and also a micro sd card slot. My only gripe would be that the change section of the wallet is super small. If you need to carry quarters, it can only fit a few of them. 

I love the genuine leather the wallet is made of- and love the smell of it as well, but I know the new wallet smell will not last forever. The wallet comes in four colors: red, purple, blue and black. The wallet is marketed as a woman's wallet but I do not see why a man could not use it as well. 

My favorite feature of the wallet is the fact that it is a RFID Blocking Wallet. This helps your information stay safe from Electronic Pick pocketing, which is a big issue these days that not everyone is aware of. 

Right now you can purchase this wallet on Amazon for $13.99 for the red wallet (the one I have) or $14.99 for the other colors.

L'Oréal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Treatment Review

Influenster sent this this Elvive Extraordinary oil treatment to test out. This oil can be used on both dry hair or wet hair. I mostly used it on dry hair to tame frizz and flyaways. I really liked this product, I thought it tamed the frizz and flyaways well. It also made my hair nice and shiny without looking or feeling greasy. The smell of the product was amazing as well. 

L'Oreal has a whole line of Elvive products. You can check out these products here. I really enjoy the Elvive clay products, which I was also introduced to by Influenster, and want to try the Power Moisture Hydrating Shampoo at some point too. 


I received this product free to test from Influenster but all opinions are my own. If you would like to check out what Influenster is about or sign up to receive free products to test out yourself: influenster.com

December 2017 PetGiftBox Cat Review & [COUPON CODE]!!

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

PetGiftBox is a monthly subscription box for, you guessed it, your pet! They offer a cat box (which is the one I am reviewing) and they also offer a dog box (which has 3 selections based on the size of your dog). The boxes cost $25 per month. You can also purchase a one time box if you would like to send one as a gift. Like other boxes, PetGiftBox does have a rewards program where you can earn points for free products and boxes. Also, every purchase helps feed 10 rescue pets!

Each box contains between 4 and 6 items that are hand picked by the PetGiftBox team. The items in the box can include treats, toys, and other helpful pet supplies.

My cats love getting these boxes! It is a nice treat for them to get some new toys and goodies! 

If you want to get your own box for your pet you can use the coupon code 'codyandkaci' at checkout to get 50% off your first box! To sign up or find out more info visit www.petgiftbox.com

The items in the box:

This months theme: Have a Magical Christmas 

1.) Vo-Toys Holiday Wishes Crocheted Mice: These crocheted mice (pack of 3) have a bell on them. We tied one to the end of a wand toy and the cats absolutely love chasing it around! This is definitely Vince's favorite item in the box! $3.50 

2.) XPet For My Cat Holiday Stocking: PetGiftBox typically sends stockings filled with toys in their December boxes. We love getting these because they are often filled with soft pom pom balls (Kaci's favorite) and soft balls you can roll around (Luke's favorite). $10

3.) Imperial Cat Cat n around Snowman Catnip Toy: The boxes sometimes have these toys but always a different character depending on the season. This box had a snowman in it and it came with catnip to fill it with. These toys always get licked a lot by my cats due to the catnip inside.  $7.95

4.) Charming Christmas SnapCat: My cats find these toys very interesting. They typically do not play with them on their own but if I start snapping the tail they will pounce on it. $12.99

5.) Get Naked Urinary Health Treats: These treats are grain free and are made in the U.S.A! My cats like the cranberry taste of them and they are the perfect size for them also. $3.39

6.) Lilipi Brand Gift Card: This gift card is worth $30. On the Lilipipets site you can make a custom pillow with your pets photo or you can choose from some of their stock pillows with popular characters such as Grumpy Cat. Shipping is free also. $30

Total Value: $67.83 The value of the box is much higher than typical boxes, mostly due to the gift card included. We had so much fun with this box. The crocheted mice and the balls in the stocking are definitely the biggest hits for us in the box. The curation of the box was great for the holidays- lots of toys, a bag of treats, and of course some human fun too! 

PetGiftBox supports America's Vet Dogs which is a non-profit organization that provides guide dogs for disabled veterans. These dogs also help PTSD patients at VA Hospitals. It is great to see a company that is helping the community.

Website Review: FotoJet & DesignEvo

I have been playing around with the website FotoJet for about a month now and I am amazed at all the things you can do on the site. You can make many cards and invitations, such as Christmas Cards, Baby Shower Announcements, Thank you cards, etc. Here is an example of a Christmas card that my cats and I made (I had to get my cats approval before posting ;) you cat people understand!) 

If that was not enough I also found that on the site you can create collages, edit photos, and even design Facebook and Instagram Posts and also headers that you can use for Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, and more! 

Most of these features are offered free at no charge but they do have advanced features and special designs available for FotoJet Plus members. Visit their Promotion Site to see the offers. Memberships are normally $59.88 for the year but right now (until January 2nd 2018) you can get a membership for $19.99 OR if you simply share a post on your social media you can get the membership for $14.99. You might be thinking a membership is a waste of money, but if you are one who likes to get lots of likes and comments on their social media posts than that might be worth the $15 spent for the year to get amazing features with the Plus membership. Membership includes: All advanced features, 600+ premium templates, 500+ premium resources, priority support services, and an ad free experience. Check out the site and if you love it as much as I do you will see the benefit. 

Below is an example of a pre-made Facebook post on their site. You could use this post, if you like it, or you create your own. I know, for me personally, there have been tons of times where I have searched Google for a meme to fit what I was thinking or feeling in the moment and I could not find one that was fitting. Little did I know there was a site like this where I could CREATE my own! 

Not a fan of that background? There are many you can choose from on the site. There are many free backgrounds available for this particular image, like the background above, but here is an example of a background included with the plus membership. Two clicks of a my mouse and I changed out the background!

The sky is really the limit! You can of course use your own photos but the site has so many options between stock photos, clip art, backgrounds, text options, and more! 

And here is an example of an invitation! 

If you are a blogger or if you are starting up a company they also have another website called, DesignEvo. DesignEvo allows you to make logos. DesignEvo is completely free, no memberships required but they do want you to share on your social media that you used their site! You can also just play around to make logos to put on T-Shirts or anything else you might want to put a logo on. Here is an example of a logo I made: 

I am going to continue to use these sites for my blog and social media posts. Who knew that someone with little creativity, like myself, could easily make attractive posts. I am sure that I will get more likes and comments now that it is so easy to make something so attractive and eye catching! 

Have questions? Let me know below. I did not receive any compensation for this post but did receive a membership upgrade to FotoJet Plus so I could let you know of all the great features. 

Review: Maple Holistics Silk 18 Conditioner & FREE SAMPLE

I recently was sent this Silk 18 Conditioner from Maple Holistics. 

My first impression of this conditioner was that I was so in love with the scent! This conditioner smells like Vanilla Cake. The texture of the conditioner was perfect and it was easy to rub into hair and rinse out. My hair was much more smoother and less frizzy than when I used my previous conditioner. Due to the scent and how it made my hair much less frizzy, this is my new favorite conditioner and I will continue to use it.

This conditioner got it's name because it includes 18 Silk Amino Acids. The conditioner claims to make your hair smooth, soft, and shiny no matter your hair type. I can say this worked well on my hair type which is usually thin, frizzy, and straight. This conditioner can be used by both men and women. 

All of their products are made in the USA and they strongly promote cruelty free advocacy. None of their products will ever contain ingredients that are tested on animals. All of their products are free of sulfate and other harmful ingredients. 

Maple Holistics is offering you a FREE SAMPLE of one of their products. They have tons to choose from, even pet shampoo! CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE SAMPLE FORM. Once you fill out the sample form you will get a confirmation email. In the confirmation email it will let you know how to enter a giveaway for a full size product also! 

Right now this Silk 18 Conditioner is on sale on the Maple Holistics website for $8.00 or you can purchase it on Amazon for $9.95. Maple Holistics supports The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. For every bottle of Silk18 sold they will donated $1 to NCADV.

Influenster Feast VoxBox Review

I recently received a box of goodies complimentary from Influenster to review. Take a look at my unboxing video below to see what I got. Underneath the video is my review on all of the products I received. If you want me to send you an invite so you can sign up and get free products yourself please leave your email in the comments section below.

Great box filled with great items! See reviews below and check past posts for some more detailed reviews. 

1.) Arnott's Tim Tam Biscuits, Original: $3.79  - I have tried these before in the past but I previously tried the Dark Chocolate and these were the original milk chocolate ones. I really liked the milk chocolate taste. The cookies are layered with chocolate, a light biscuit cookie, and then a light layer of a cream inside. I really enjoyed these and would definitely purchase these ones over the Dark Chocolate in the future. 

2.) French's Crispy Jalapenos: $3.99 - These are definitely something different that I would not think to purchase for myself. I liked them on top of tacos. They were the perfect crunch and were actually not too spicy considering they are made with real jalapenos. I am not a very adventurous cook so I probably would not make any other meals with these included but with tacos they add great extra flavor if you are looking to mix it up.

3.) Country Crock Buttery Sticks: $2.99- I can honestly say that this is my new favorite butter. It is hard to match the butter you get in restaurants but this is pretty much that good. Beyond the taste I also liked that these melted well on top of food and were easy to spread. 

4.) Del Monte Fresh Cut Gold Sweet Whole Kernel Corn: $.99- I would not say the taste of this product was any different than other canned vegetables but what I liked about this product was that the can was easy to open. It had a pull tab, so no can opener required. The instructions were to cook it in the microwave and it only took a couple of minutes. Easy Breezy. 

5.) Bigelow Tea: $3.29 - This was probably my least favorite item in the box. The flavors included were Ginger & Peach Herbal Tea and Lemon & Echinacea Herbal Tea. These were not terrible but the taste was a bit to herbal for me. I prefer simple but bold black teas like Lipton or English Breakfast. I would say out of the two my favorite was the Ginger & Peach. 

This was a very interesting box. I have been a member Influenster for about 5 years now and I have never received an all food box. I have received many boxes that were either beauty products or a variety of items. This box was fun to be able to taste new things and have fun with recipes. 

If you have any further questions on any of the products listed above feel free to leave them in the comments section below and I will do my best to answer them. Once again, if you want to sign up for Influenster to get free boxes leave your email below and I will send you an invite.

The items in the box:

This months theme: Happy Thanksgiving!

1.) Ellie Baba Designs Turkey Leg Catnip Toy: My cats are absolutely obsessed with this toy. It is well made and easy for them to grab. The catnip scent is pretty strong and they bat this toy around like crazy. $5

2.) Sassycat Freeze Dried Turkey Treats: This is a great item to have in a Thanksgiving box. Two of my cats will eat these treats but do not prefer them over their regular Temptations. Vince will pretty much eat any treats though so he is happy with these. $4.59

3.) Mauve Moose Baguette Toy: My cats like this toy but it is not their first choice out of the box. They do like to kick this though their kicker toys are usually a bit bigger. When they try to kick this one they end up kicking themselves along with the toy. $6

4.) ComfyStyles Crazy Cranberries Felted Ball Toys: These toys are really small so I added them to one of their cardboard box toys that they can reach in the holes and bat them around and they seem to like them in there. When the toys get pulled out I just put them back in. $2.50

5.) Ellie Baba Designs Berry Pie Catnip Toy: I do not know if it is the shape or not but my cats have not really played with or even licked this toy yet. We will see if they start to use it after they get bored of the other toys. $6

6.) SPOT Cat Bernet Cork Teaser Wand: This is the winner of the box! My cats go so crazy when we play with this toy. We played with it so much the jingle bell already fell off so I need to reattach that as they lost a little interest once that fell off. $2.93

Total Value: $27.02 The total value of the box is still over the cost of the box but much lower than past boxes, but keep in mind that most of these products are handmade etsy products and are only sold online so there would be shipping charges that I did not factor into the total value. This was a great box. It was not as big of a hit as last months box but cats are obsessed with most of the toys, especially the Teaser Wand. The etsy toys that were included in last month and this months boxes are well made.
