Delicate Laundry Bags Set Review

This is an amazing set of Delicate Laundry bags. You get 5 bags in varying sizes.   The biggest one would just about hold a whole load of laundry. They are made of a very soft mesh material with a zipper to hold it shut they do have a a zipper tab the zipper head folds into to also help protect your delicates.  The mesh is a fine mesh so bra hooks will not come through and snag on other items. The bags are safe for the dry and fold up nicely for storage when not in use.

CLIMAX By: Christina George Blog Tour & Review

Book Synopses:

​

The Publicist (Book One)

Behind every book, there’s always more to the story.

Can one woman change an age-old institution like publishing? Probably not, but Kate Mitchell sure wants to try. As a publicist with a large, respected New York publishing house, Kate finds herself at the mercy of a broken publishing system, books that don’t always sell (at all) and author egos that are often, well, as big as the island of Manhattan.

Enter the star Editor, MacDermott Ellis. Tall, handsome, charismatic, married, and ready to save the day. Kate wants to do the right thing but her hormones seem to be driving her decisions. Then there’s Allan Lavigne, once a revered author, now as forgotten as yesterday’s news; and his nephew Nick, who wants to sweep Kate away from New York for another coast, California.

As Kate tries to navigate the landmine of publicity, the over-the-top author expectations, and the careful dance of “I’m sorry, your book isn’t on the bestseller list this week”, she also finds authors who are painfully overlooked by a publisher wanting more sex, more celebrities, and more scandal.

​Shelf Life (Book Two):

​It’s an industry of out-of-control egos, unrealistic expectations, and unfulfilled promises.

This is publishing and it’s Kate’s world, but maybe not for long.

When one of Kate Mitchell’s star authors is carted away in handcuffs, it’s only the beginning of her troubles. As her world crumbles around her, Kate desperately looks for anyone to hold onto but finds that happy endings are truly works of fiction. With the shelf life of her career and her love affair quickly expiring, Kate sets off on a new adventure…

Starting over in California is easy but Kate soon learns that leaving her old life behind isn’t. Nick Lavigne is eager to help her forget but two things still own her heart, the dream of discovering the next great American novel, and MacDermott Ellis.

As Kate tries to rebuild her life she finds a surprising gift that reboots her career in a new and unexpected direction. Suddenly her name becomes synonymous with one of the biggest bestsellers publishing has seen in ages and she's welcomed back with open arms.

But at the height of her success the ghosts of her past come back to remind her of the world she'd been trying to forget and the man who never let go of her heart.

Behind the book, there’s always more to the story. Welcome to Publishing, the ego has landed.

Climax  (Book Three)

Kate Mitchell has never forgiven herself for breaking Nick Lavigne’s heart. Now he’s back and he’s moved on, and it’s affecting Kate’s life more than she’s willing to admit. 

Kate Mitchell has everything. She's the head of a crazy successful publishing house, engaged to the traffic-stopping sexy Mac Ellis and she's about to sign one of the biggest authors of her career.

And that's when everything falls apart. 

Everything is perfect…until it’s not.

In a city of 8 million people Kate manages to run into someone she never expected to see again.

Nick is handsome, impossibly kind, every girl’s dream, and Kate’s former fiancé. He’s also the brother of the rising star author she’s trying to sign. Now that Nick’s back in town and has moved on he insists he’s over Kate, but part of him still can’t get past how amazing they were, and his sister won’t let anyone forget how brutally it ended.

When Mac is dealt a life-changing blow, it forces Kate to question every single choice she’s made.

Follow Kate as she embarks on a journey of life and love, navigating through the decisions that will change it all forever.

Author's Bio:

Christina George has worked in publishing for twenty years (give or take). Here’s what this book isn't. It’s not a slam against publishing (though it is broken) and it’s not a slam against authors (though some of them are crazy). This book is not autobiographical though many of the stories are true. No you won’t know which ones, cause it’s more fun to guess, right? George continues to work in publicity and helps authors because at the end of the day she does love books, she loves publishing, and she loves authors. She hopes you’ll enjoy this romp through Kate’s world as much as she enjoyed creating it.

Sentey® Brio Black Lipstick-sized Fast External Battery Pack Review

This is a great little power bank it is lightweight, small, but powerful. It comes with the power bank, a micro USB cord, and a carrying case. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to fully charge it. You put the micro end into the power bank and plug the USB end into either wall charger, car charger, or your computer to charge the unit. To charge your devices (phone, tablet, mp3 ETC) turn the cord around, plug the USB end into the unit and plug the micro end into your device. There is a small red light on the cord end that will be on while it is is charging, when it is charged the light goes off. There is no power button on the unit, so you don't have to worry about loosing your charge while carrying it in your pocket, purse, or where ever. They also come in 6 colors.

Azure Naturals Cucumber Infused ULTIMATE PEPTIDE Eye Brightening Gel Review

I received the Azure Naturals Cucumber Infused Ultimate Peptide Eye Brightening Gel in exchange for my honest review. This is definitely infused with cucumber, I happen to like the cucumber smell so it is great for me. The smell does rapidly disappear as it dries. This comes in a pump style bottle with  push on pull of cap. It is not childproof. I do love the pump style bottle as I feel like even with clean hands it is not very sanitary to stick my finger in a container day after day and then apply it to my eye area. With this stuff you only need a Tiny drop so do not use a full pump or you will have way to much. The gel did help with the puffiness under my eyes, and the dark circles.  It is very light weight and absorbs very quickly and can be worn under your makeup. All in all I really like this product.

Ann Yoder's Amish Cooking Gloves Review

These really do keep your hands safe from the heat. They are about an Extra Large Size so if you have real small hands you might want to practice with them before going into the heat. They are made from Silicone. They are very flexible. You can also open jars with these. They grip very well. Please watch my video review. See my Son in Law lay his hand on a hot grill.

Wine Aerator by Bar Brat Review

 This is a very nice and classy looking Wine Aerator. It instantly aerates your wine, it also features a drip free tip on it. It has a black rubber seal that seals tightly in the bottle. It is made from a clear acrylic. Super simple to clean up just run it under warm water and your ready for the next bottle.
 To me it actually kind of pretty. Would make a great addition to a gift basket, or in addition to a nice bottle of wine as a hostess gift. It is about 5 inches long. I did receive mine in exchange for my honest review.
