It’s time for the April Edition of “I’m Totally Try It”! I’m going (to try) to be more on the ball items and hope to actually report back right at the beginning of May. In case you are new here, this is how it works – I pick a few things, try them for a month or so and then report back. Here’s what I am giving a go this time:
~DIY Instagram Magnets: I know the collage says pictures, but I don’t really feel like changing it. So I want to make magnets out of Instagram pictures. WB is obsessed with the fridge magnets and plays with them all the time. How fun would pictures of everyone be or even a fun puzzle kinda of picture? These seem super easy to make, but then again I think that with every single Pinterest project I see. I’ll let you know either way though!
~Couch to 5K: Ugh. I don’t even know what got into me when I decided to try this. But I need to do something and we have a treadmill, so Couch to 5K it is. I do wish I was one of those people who actually liked running, like Hungry Runner Girl or Skinny Runner or something, but I don’t think that will ever be the case! Still, I will try this.
~Moroccan Oil: I got a bottle in my Spring FFF Box and just started to use it this week. I am super anxious to start seeing the results. It’s basically suppose to “completely transform and repair” your hair. It adds shine and speeds up drying time and somehow absorbs fills in the gaps created by heat, styling and other damage. It almost sounds too good to be true! We’ll see!
~Vasoline Spray & Go Moisturizer: I stare at this every time I see it at Target and wonder if it really works, does the sprayer get clogged, etc. Since it’s only $6, I decided perhaps I should just give it a try! I can’t explain it, but this product has be totally intrigued.
~The Honest Life by Jessica Alba: I added this to my Honest Essentials bundle this month and it should be arriving any day now. I’ve heard a lot of great things about this book and I can’t wait to see what I think about it myself! Plus, if I put a book in my I’m Totally Trying It, I have to read it, so it’s a good way to get reading again!
Okay, that’s it! I will be reporting back in a few weeks. I am including a link-up because I know a few of you were interested. If you want to link-up and share what you are trying this month, go for it! And I’ll also include the link-up in my results posts so we can all see how you liked what you’re totally trying as well!

I think the Vaseline spray looks good but will be a mess. It reminds me of the spray sunblock. I love using it but will only spray it outside because it goes everywhere. Bath and Body Works used to have lotion that came in a spray bottle (non aerosol, pump nozzle) that never clogged and I loved it. It was however thinner so it didn’t clogg. That was like 15 years ago (shows my age), but I loved it and still miss it.
I am going to be doing Couch to 5k too. There is a 5k I want to run in September. Besides I could use the extra exercise on top of what I already do! I got the Vaseline Spray & Go in my VoxBox. It does work and hasn’t clogged yet. I would say that it isn’t the most luxurious lotion in the world, but it gets the job done.
Where do I learn how to “link up”
I also got the Vaseline in an Influenster VoxBox and so far, so good. I use it primarily on my legs after a shower for a quick lotion application, and after 12-15 uses the sprayer isn’t working any differently than the first spray! I just got a coupon from them in the mail for $1 off, expires 5/15/13.. I probably won’t use it if you want it!
I am interested in hearing how you like these items. Can’t wait for the review post. I look at that lotion everyday. lol.
I got the Vaseline Spray and Go in an Influenster box and this may be common sense but I’m going to go ahead and say it anyway – be careful where you use this. I sprayed my legs on our hardwood floors and it made the entire floor oily.
Also, for your DIY Instagram magnets there’s this app called Postagram that will mail you a square sized photo of your IG picture via a postcard.
You most definitely better let us know how the morrocan oil works! Sounds like something that I would love to try…if it works!! 🙂
I’ll be curious to see if the Vaseline spray & go works or clogs, as most of my spray bottles clog for some reason. Good luck with the 5k goal!
I use the vaseline spray and I love it! Sure actually taking your time putting lotion on is a bit better, but who has time for that?? and what about that stupid spot right between your shoulder blades?? This spray is quick and gets the job done (good enough)
I got the Spray and Go in my Influenster voxbox. It’s pretty good! It doesn’t spray wide like sunscreen does. It sprays very concentrated and forcefully (which makes it sound bad, but it isn’t). I haven’t used it a lot, so I don’t know about clogging. But I’m thinking it shouldn’t be a problem (just based on the way it sprays)
I can’t wait to hear how you like the book, I’ve put in on my birthday wish list, which isn’t until June haha!

Can’t wait to see your Instagram Magnets!
I too hate running and am in week 2 of the Couch to 5k program and it’s tolerable. I can actually complete the workout and not feel like I’m going to pass out. Good luck!
SO I was going to read Caroline Manzo’s book, Let me tell you something. And I’m reading reviews now and it’s like 50% loved it and 50% really really hated it. So I have no idea. I’ve read a lot of the housewive’s books, but I feel like I should learn my lesson since Kyle’s book (the last one I read) was soo dumb. Anyway, reading reviews of Alba’s book – I’m pretty interested, no body gave it 1 star. I think I will read this book!
So I didn’t get this together for April, but I am planning for May. But only if you tell me how you made that picture with all of the items, lol.
Keep up with the 5k program! I did something similar at the beginning of 2012, and I’ve done three half marathons since February this year! You may find that you like running more than you let on. Running in races is a blast!
I’m planning to pick up the Vaseline lotion tomorrow at Target when we go on a grocery run. I’m way more excited about it than spray lotion really deserves, I think.
I just got the Spray & Go to review. I’ve only tried it twice and I like it ok. The one I got doesn’t have a scent to it and I really like my lotion to smell pretty. It was kind of cold going on but it also could have been because it was kind of chilly in my house when I used it.
I thought I would give this spray lotion a try. It is odd. I will keep it and purchase it again if I do run out but it will go in a travel bag. It felt great on my skin but I ended up just using my everyday pump bottle.
