I have always used real sugar whenever I've wanted to sweeten my drinks or something I'm eating. So, I was pretty intrigued by this product and wanted to know how it would compare to regular sugar. Basically, Truvia is an extract taken from stevia leaves. Hence, the sweet taste of Truvia is a natural characteristic of those leaves.
When I opened my first pack of Truvia, I noticed a very sweet scent that smelled like vanilla. I also noticed that the Truvia grains don't look like sugar grains. Sugar is normally uniform and cube shaped whereas the Truvia grains ranged from powder to big and spherical. The Truvia seemed to dissolve into my tea just like sugar. After my first sip of Truvia sweetened tea, I noticed that the Truvia didn't taste like regular sugar; I think that Truvia tastes like high-fructose corn syrup. After drinking some more, I also noticed that the sweet taste of Truvia lasts longer than regular sugar.
Overall, I think Truvia would be great product to try out if you are trying to cut down on your sugar consumption or are trying to lose weight. Also, if you have diabetes, this might be a great ingredient to add to your food because it does not affect the glucose levels in your body. Since I don't think I need to change my sugar consumption and I prefer the taste of real sugar, I think I'll just stick to my regular sugar.
I hope you enjoyed this review, and let me know if you have any questions or requests in the comments below!

Hey everyone!
I recently received a Love VoxBox from Influenster, and I am so excited to share with you all of the included products! There is a range of new products from beauty to food.
Kiss Nail Dress Fashion That Sticks Fashion Strips in #56709 KDS11
I can't wait to try out these Kiss Nail Strips because they have a fun silver and black leopard print design. I usually paint my own nails and use bright colors or pastel colors during the spring, and I've never done any nail art before. So, the nail strips would be a great choice for switching up my normal routine by incorporating a fun design with more than one color.
I also think that these Kiss Nail Strips look really similar to the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. I've never tried the Sally Hansen Strips, but I think that if you like the Sally Hansen Strips, then you might want to try out the Kiss Nail Strips. Another reason I'm excited to try the Kiss Nail Strips is that they look fast and easy to apply. When you use regular nail polish, you often have to put on several coats, wait for the nail polish to dry, and maybe even use a base coat and/or top coat. With the Kiss Nail Strips, it seems like you just stick them on your nails, trim them to fit your nails, and you're done! The Kiss Nail Strips can be used for your fingers and toes, and they last up to 10 days, which is a fairly long time period. They retail for $6.99 and are available in 18 different styles!
Stash Herbal Tea Sampler
I've never tried any herbal teas before, but these sound great because they don't have any caffeine and they are 100% natural. The sampler comes with 9 different flavors, and it retails for $3.50.
The 9 flavors in this sampler include Acai Berry, Blueberry Superfruit, Chamomile, Cinnamon Apple Chamomile, Lemon Ginger, Licorice Spice, Mango Passionfruit, Peppermint, and Wild Raspberry Hibiscus.
Truvia Natural Calorie-Free Sweetener
I normally just add sugar when I want to sweeten my drinks, but I'll have to try this sweetener and see how it tastes. This 40 pack retails for $3.99.
Gillette Venus & Olay Razor
This new Gillette razor has 5 blades and Olay moisture bars. The moisture bars are supposed to help lock in moisture while shaving, and the 5 blades are for a close shave. This kit contains 1 razor, 1 cartridge, and 1 shower hook, and it retails for around $8.99 - $10.99.
Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion Bar
I definitely love chocolate, and I have high expectations for this new Ghirardelli chocolate bar because all of the Ghirardelli chocolates I've had before have been delicious. This chocolate bar retails for $2.99.
Ok I'm off to try these products! I'll let you know what I think about them soon, so stay tuned for an upcoming review :)
