My house has lots of mirrors inside and lot of windows, these have made easy work or decorating, and also for leaving little notes around the house for my husband and kids. I also took a 11x13 picture frame put white paper under the glass and wrote notes on it hung one of the pens to it and instantly have a note board. The colors are vibrant and sharp. The silicone pen holder is great for setting on the desk and keeping the pens all in one place.

My Review: Rooms by Lauren Oliver Audiobook
This is kind of a strange story, it wasn't bad don'g get me wrong. Just different. This book was written from the Ghost's perspective.
The ghost's are Alice who has been in the house the longest and Sandra. Alice was a wife and mother who was abused, Sandra was a drunk. They each lived in the house during different era's in time.
In the time of the book, the house was owned by the recently deceased Richard Walker. His estranged family come to the house in order to claim their inheritance and to deal with Richard's final arrangements. His ex-wife Caroline is a bitter drunk, Trenton his son, is a suicidal teenager who was in a horrible accident, Minna is Richards daughter who is really pretty messed up with the way she thinks and feels towards pretty much everything, and then little Amy, Minna's daughter.
I have to say this was kind of a peculiar (maybe) story. It was not scary even though there were ghosts. But it was a book that you just had to keep reading. Just to see where it all ended.
I loved the voice of Alice, she sounds like the teacher Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter movies :)
My Review: Once Haunted, Twice Shy (Peyton Clark #2) by H.P. Mallory Audiobook
I listened to the audiobook, and I really enjoyed it. I just wish I had gotten book 1 first. It is a more or less stand alone book, it does make references to book 1 but not so much so that you needed book one to make heads or tails out of this book.
I really liked the characters in the book and the way they came across, and with the audiobook I loved the narrators take on each characters voice, she done a great job. She was really good with the French accent of Drake the ghost.
In the story Peyton Clark is possessed willingly by Drake Montague. Who she is crushing on even though he is a ghost, oh and yea he is crushing back. Drake was a police officer in the early 1900's in New Orleans where this book takes place. He used to also own the house Peyton inherited. This is where book 1 would of came in handy, so you fully knew what the relationships of everyone was.
The supernatural activity is really kicking up and Peyton discovers that the Ax Man (who they thought they got rid of in book 1) is coming back to take out all of New Orleans starting with Peyton. The only way to stop the Ax Man is for Peyton to go back in time to 1920 and take him out. And she will need the help of a flesh and blood Drake.

My Review: Silicone Fried Egg Mold
I was given this fried egg mold fat a huge discount for my honest review. I made eggs for breakfast in order to try this adorable mold. I used large eggs and they fit pretty well, but I think a medium egg would of worked better. Mine did not turn out very neat as the though. But that has nothing to do with the product itself. The silicone was a breeze to clean up, I just kind of swished it around in hot soapy water, really didn't need to use a cloth since nothing stuck to it, then patted it dry with a paper towel. The was no sign of any melting, but then silicone is made to be durable around heat. I really liked this can't wait to see if there are other shapes to come. Oh and Love that it's BPA free!!

My Review: KabelDirekt (10 feet) Mini HDMI to HDMI Cable
I got this cable free for my honest review.
The Kabeldirekt cable is a lot better then the old one I have, it is much more thicker but yet very felexible. I love the fact that it is 10 feet long so I don't have to set right in front of my television in order to watch home video's off of my movie camera and I have full use of the fast forward, rewind, and start/stop controls all while being comfortable in my chair. It also works great for hooking my tablet to the television.

My Review: 16 inch Long Handled Shoe Horn
I received this 16 in long handled shoe horn in exchange for my honest review. This is a nice sturdy shoe horn it's made of stainless steel. It has a large handle end on it for easy grabbing. the pre drilled hole is also nice for hanging it so you don't loose it. My husband has bad knees and arthritis, he says it is really nice for getting his shoes on, and he really likes that it is long enough to help, not like the shirt ones where he has to bend and twist for them to work. Works great for his boots also. No more curling the heels up on the shoes. Once the heel is curled in my book they are trash, they are very uncomfortable, this shoe horn will stop that from happening.
My Review: Vetro Glass Screen Protector for Iphone 6
I was given the Vetro Glass screen Protector in exchange for my honest opinion. It was well packaged and very easy to apply. It is virtually invisible on the phone. Unlike other screen protector this one is ultra thin and you don't have to feel like you are gonna break the phone in order to click on something. Like I said it is pretty much invisible and covers from edge to edge. It's very smooth to the touch. It comes with a alcohol wipe to clean your phone screen, a microfiber cloth for buffing your screen with, and then the screen protector sheet, just peel off the plastic cover sheet and carefully place the screen protector on your screen. Seems like it should last a very long time, and protect your investment really well. The shipping was very fast and came in a nice little cardboard envelope type package. Get yours here on Amazon
