My Review: Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes E-Book By Jonathan Vine


 Ok so I am not a vegetarian, just someone looking for a healthier way to eat. I am also a recipe freak. I love to cook and try new recipes. Quick foods are also a huge thing in my book, so when I was given a chance to have this book for my honest review I jumped on it. 
  So far I have read the book twice, marked several pages, and even made a few of the recipes. The cheesy mushrooms are to die for. The summer pasta salad is amazing, and the vanilla french toast is a great way to wake up. 
 Not only does this book have 100 really great recipes that take less then 15 minutes to make but it also has a great introduction to being a vegetarian.  And the conclusion is like a pep talk from your own personal Dietitian. Jonathan Vine has really done a great job finding these tasty recipes, even put some pictures in to make you drool. He has also given you a lot of great tips for changing your lifestyle, or in my case expanding my lifestyle to include vegetarian recipes. He breaks it all down so it's easy to understand the points he is trying to make. He explains the different types of vegetarians, the reasons people become vegetarians, the benefits of becoming a vegetarian, He also has a section on time management for cooking, which is also a good read for meat eaters.

Synopsis: Only something as important as her best friend’s wedding to mob boss Gabriel Moretti could allow Nika Paynne a reprieve from captivity. Her abusive husband has kept her under his thumb with footage of her beloved brother, Caleb, killing another man. But the respite from her violent life isn’t the only draw. Vincente Romani—Gabriel’s deadliest guardian—will be one of the best men at the wedding, and Nika has lingering thoughts about the fascinating mobster…covetous thoughts that may put her life in danger.

With the heartbreak he’s suffered and the brutality he effortlessly delivers, Vincente knows he’s the last person who can offer Nika a happily-ever-after. But his vow remains. He will do everything in his power to free his redhead from her violent prison—even if that means losing her forever.


In the second thrilling and passionate Wanted Men book, a dangerous line is drawn between loyalty to the mob and loyalty to one’s heart.

My Review: The Salvation of Vengeance by Nancy Haviland





The book is really good, fast paced, sad at times, has the Russian & Italian Mob, and my favorite HOT Bikers!!
 The story is about Nika Payne, who in order to keep her only brother Caleb who is also her only living family member, out of jailed is forced to marry Kevin Nollan who is Satan himself. For all of the almost year they are married he uses Nika as a punching bag.
  When Nika gets an invitation to her best friends wedding, even her husband knows she has to make an appearance. So they leave Seattle and fly to New York for the wedding. At the last minute Kevin decides not to go to the wedding with her. She is the maid of honor. After the wedding she is changing back into her clothes when her bruise covered body is spotted. No one knew she was being abused and no one knows why she is staying with her husband. She has told no one that he has evidence of a murder her brother commited on disc, and will turn it over to the police if she ever leves him.
   All the beatings are worth it to her if she can find the disc and save her brother. She finally found the disc right before the wedding but could not get it then. After the wedding she escapes from her brother and friends and goes back to the motel room and her husband, where he meets her with a punch in the face. As she is taking the beating, her brother and a friend show up at the door. kevin dives out the window trying to take the evidence with him but she is able to get it.
  Vincente Romani Aka the Reaper becomes Mika's night in shining armour. He is the one who spotted her bruises, he andd her brother are the ones who came to her rescue with her husband, he is the one who helped get her medical attention. He also has a past, his little sister was kidnapped, where she was sold into prostitution and addicted to drugs, and died from an over dose. Which Vincente feels guilty that he couldn't save her. He is in love with Mika but thinks he has nothing to offer her plus she is his friends sister and off limits.
  This is a very good book. It is the 2nd book in the Wanted Men Series, but as I done read it as a stand alone. Thare are only a few refences in the book that you would need to read book 1 in order to get the full gist of what they mean. I will however be picking book 1 up, and can't wait for book 3. I was given my copy of this book for my honest review, but that had no bearing on my feeling for this book or my review.

My Review: Innogie Elite Series LG portable charger


I received my Innogie Elite Series LG portable charger extremely quickly, it was package safely and securely. It comes with the charger, reversable micro USB cable. It is about 1x1x3 inches in size with a 12 inch cable. It's a little heavier then my other portable charger but not too much for carrying in a purse or pocket even.
 The cord is a USB cord and plugs into to either your computer, or any charger that takes a USB cable, car or wall. It took a few hours to build up to a full charge. It has a red flashing light near the cable when it is charging and burns solid when finished, and a blue light when you are charging your device.
  I have a Samsung S4 phone that was on 32% charge, it was fully charged in about the time it takes using a power cable.I like the fact that you can still use your device while it is charging.
   It says it is compatible with iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, 5S, 5C, 5, 4S, iPad Air, mini (Lightning Adapter Not Included), Galaxy S5, S4, S3, Note 3, Galaxy Tab 3, 2, Galaxy Gear, Nexus 4, 5, 7, 10, HTC One, One 2 (M8), and other cellphones and Tablets   It plugs into my RCA tablet as well as my Samsung camera.
  This is very easy to use just take it out of the box plug the smaller end into the portable charger and the USB end into the computers USB port or into the end of the charger. It does not get hot while charging.
  When ready to charge your phone just plug the USB end into the portable charger and the other end into your phone or other device.
  I got this at a huge discount in exchange for my honest review.

My Review: Effiliv Silicone Baking Cups - Reusable Cupcake Muffin Liners - 24 Pack

I got these baking cups at a huge discount for my honest review and I am so thrilled with them. No more messy muffin pans, just set them on a cookie sheet. They make great holders for the little kids. There is no greasing involved since they are silicone. The pictures of these do not do the bright vibrant colors any justice, in the picture the color is kind of flat to me, in my hand they are very brightly colored. There is a total of 24 baking cups 4 of each of the 6 colors. They are very easy to clean up just toss them in a since of warm soapy water for a minute or 2 and they come clean with just a swipe of a cloth. They are dishwasher safe but I wouldn't put them in unless you have one of the cage like boxes since they are so light weight, I can see the water pressure tossing them all over. They are the exact size of the paper cupcake/muffin holders. These will also in the long run save you money, since you aren't having to pay for the paper cups every time you want to bake cupcakes or muffins. There are also several recipes for making mini meal items like shepherds pie and breakfast items in muffin tin's I am positive these should work really well for that too.

My Review: Fractionated Coconut Oil 16 Oz



It may not be a miracle oil but it's pretty close. You can use it on your hair, your skin, your nails, you can mix it with other oils. There is no scent to this oil. It comes in a very large plastic bottle, with a pump or you can leave the lid on and just pour it. Fractionated Coconut Oil can be used in lots of body recipes on the web for making lotions and more. You can use it straight out of the bottle or add some scented oils to it to give it a scent. Is a great massage oil also. This bottle does say external use only, so I wouldn't try it in toothpastes or lip balms. It is non greasy feeling, I like to put it on after a shower and add a little to my hair, and it does help with my dry, brittle, frizzy hair. I was given this at a huge discount for my honest review and I will be buying more when I run out of this bottle.
