Product Review: #FindItAtTarget VoxBox

***I received this product complimentary to test through Influenster's Vox Box Program***

The best part about being an Influencer is that I get to test and review products that I normally would  not have thought to purchase.


Recently Infuenster launched a campaign with Target, my single most favorite store in America, in order to introduce various products that may or may not be new to the average Target shopper. Being that I'm literally there at least 2-3 days of the week, there aren't many items at Target in which I'm not familiar with so I was dying to participate. 

Truth be told,  I had my heart set on a new lip color, nail polish, or maybe even a new body wash but instead I received this...




Apparently, it sprays on your wet hair and dries to create 'beach waves'.

So yeah, that's about all I can tell you. I'm honestly a little disappointed with this #FindItAtTarget VoxBox for 2 obvious reasons.

First and foremost there was no product information included in my box so I literally had to rely on the knowledge of my Instagram followers to find out what it was. 

Once it's identity had been established I became even more disappointed because there was no way that I would be able to benefit from it's use with my near natural black girl roots.


Next time they run a campaign such as this, I would expect them to complete a much more in depth pre-screening before they ship out a bunch of products that no one can use or benefit from. 

To the stockpile the Sea Salt goes. 

Anyone else receive a #FindItAtTarget VoxBox?

What was your experience like? 

I can't wait to hear from you!!

All Natural Style Secrets

Happy Wednesday my loves.

I hope each of you are off to a great start on this gorgeous hump day.

I'm not too excited about having to return to work tomorrow after a two month break but hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Right?

I am, however, excited to be participating in a style challenge sponsored by the
Lucky Magazine Community.  They have partnered with Seventh Generation in order to present an #AllNaturalStyleSecrets Challenge. As a participant I received a free sample of this product from Lucky and Seventh Generation for use in connection with my blog.


Soothing Boost
In addition, I was asked to show off one of my chicest yet seemingly effortless looks. Starting with Seventh Generation’s skin serum as the foundation I've created a head-to-toe look.

With the stresses of everyday life, it is highly important to maintain a regular skin care regimen in order to keep your skin looking fresh and vibrant. It seems the older I get, the more sensitive my skin gets. If fact, I never had any type of problems with my skin (ie-acne) until wayyy after my college years. So when I  initially began to break out uncontrollably, I enlisted the help of a dermatologist who recommended to me a very inexpensive yet efficient remedy. 

I use the following products twice daily in order to keep my combination type skin from breaking out and getting out of control. 

Daily Skin Care Routine...

I alternate days with the Clean & Clear products so as not to exfoiliate too much.

All Natural Style Secret #1:  Rubbing alcohol doubles as a skin toner as well as a great makeup remover.

The Mederma is used to clear up any dark spots, while the CeraVe seals and moisturizes my skin. Recently, I added the Seventh Generation Soothing Boost Serum in order to add balance to any of my skin tone irregularities. This concentrated formula contains a soothing blend of Oat, Argan and Zi Cao and it smells AH-MAY-ZING. It's very absorbent, not heavy or oily so it won't clog my pores and it leaves my skin feeling like a baby's bottom.

Great skin care routines wouldn't be complete without great style to go along.


When I'm feeling confident about the skin I'm in I like to style myself in classically edgy looks such as this one.

There's nothing more attractive than a confident woman with beautiful skin!


So... 



All Natural Style Secret #2: Love the skin you're in by taking good care of it.

Snowflake Leggings and Moccasins...

Happy Monday my loves.

I hope everyone had a nice, long weekend. With the exception of Saturday night, which was reserved for the viewing of Beyonce's interview/documentary, I spent lots of time relaxing and cleaning.  I also added some new items to my online shop, Miss Rockwells Racks.

If you're following me on Instagram, you may have seen me post about some snowflake leggings that were sent to me by a company called Oasap.

Oasap is a high-street online fashion store that partners with bloggers, publishers, and the like to increase exposure opportunities for everyone. You may learn more Oasap and the partnership programs that they offer here.

I first found out about the Oasap Fashion Hunter program while reading my sister LeTroy's blog, Thriftanista in the City.

Upon signing up, they gave me a $30 credit to use towards any of their items that I liked. Mind you, the site does not offer many products at this price point (however, they do have TONS of other things to choose from) but I did happen to find these cutesy snowflake leggings.

Leggings-c/o Oasap
I am totally in love with them. I have already worn them 3 times. I absolutely love the fun pattern.


The variety of colors in the pattern will allow me to pair them with several different shirts but I went for comfy casual here and paired the leggings with my ever faithful chambray.

Chambray-NY&Co | Sweater-Platos
Another plus to these leggings was the texture and feel of the fabric. They were insulated with a thick fleece lining for extra warmth.

Moccasins-Nine West
They were super perfect to pair with my Nine West moccasins that have been going strong for the last 6 years. I also added this awesome collar scarf that I got from Old Navy during one of their special clearance sales last season.


The only complaint that I have about the leggings is that I noticed a small rip in the crotch area after the very first time I wore them. But the fleece insulation made it possible for me to continue wearing them without anyone noticing.

All in all, I'm very happy about my selection and I can't wait for my next piece to come.

Can't you tell!!!


Financial compensation was not received for this post. A sample product was gifted from Oasap. Opinions expressed here are my own.
