Elf Star Extra Thick Premium High Density Furniture Table Edge Protectors Review

This stuff is GREAT!! It is really spongy feeling not like some of the lesser quality type I have had in the past. I also love all the different colors it comes in, so you can blend it into your furniture. This is not only great for houses with small children, but the way my bedroom is set up the desk area is in the back so you have to pass the bed to get from the desk and closet area, and also my side of the bed, I have caught the corner of my bed frame, which is a giant wooden box type frame, several times, and have even broken my baby toe, anyway this is the first place I put this. It is very easy to apply, just unroll as much as you need, cut it off with scissors, knife, box cutter whatever, then cut the double sided tape that also comes with it to size, peel and stick. Done!! this works on pretty much any surface, wood, glass, metal, etc. It is totally customizable, it folds and bends as needed to where you want to put it.

FSL Al13 Heavy Bass Earbuds Review

These are great, the sound is great, there are 3 sizes of ear tips, so the size is great, I love the flat cord. I use my mp3 player at work daily, the cord is always getting twisted and tangled, with this set so far I have had no tangle problems. The ear tips fit comfortably. I also like that it comes with a pull string storage bag. They really do keep most outside noise out while using them also, and I work with a lot of noise.

Genie Best Silicone Teether for Babies Review

 Lets start with, this little train is ADORABLE!! It is a good size for babies hands. It is made of food grade silicone. It is dishwasher safe. It also comes with a cute little doughnut pendant and cord for Mom to wear. Both are safe for putting in the freezer. There are no sharp edges or separate pieces. It is very flexible. It is BPA free, there is no odor, and it is fully non toxic. It is almost 4 x 3 inches.
  I took the train and attached it to a pacifier clip then clipped it to my Grand Babies shirt so he wouldn't loose it. It worked GREAT! I was afraid to use enclosed cord, the cord is long enough, but I always fear choking. The cord does work great for the small doughnut disk, with Mom wearing it.

YALMEH® Glorifying Vitamin C Toner Review

I have used other Yalmeh products and have loved them all, this one is no different. It has a wonderful smell, that does evaporate as the toner dries. It is so easy to use, just dab it on with a cotton ball after washing your face. I use it in the morning and again at night. I have only been using it a few days but can already feel my face and neck are softer, and feel a bit more taught. You only need a couple of drops, so this 4 ounce bottle will last a very long time.
My favorite parts is it is NEVER tested on animals, it is 100% organic, it made with natural and organic plant based products, and it has no fillers or gluten. There are no toxic chemicals, no parabens, no alcohol, no mineral oils. It is Irritant-free!! Yalmeh also has a 90 day money back guarantee.

OUTLAW TRIGGER & DAWN OF DESTINY Blog Tour & Giveaway

Book Description for Dawn of Destiny:
Some men go to war for the glory. Some men go to war to escape. For Scott Remington, war is entirely different. It is a belief. It is a calling. It is a destiny. Leaving everything behind—his fiancée, his future, his life—he embarks on a mission of faith into a battle he can barely understand. This is his story. This is his war. This is only the beginning.

Book Description for Dawn of Destiny Audiobook:
The Dawn of Destiny audiobook project is a full adaptation of the first book in the Epic series. It's not your typical “audiobook,” even though technically that's what it is. When people hear “audiobook,” there’s a certain type of thing that usually comes to mind. Most likely it’s the thought of someone reading a book to them, occasionally with music playing in the background. This isn't that.

What you’re going to hear in this project, is more of an audio “experience,” the audio equivalent of a summer blockbuster movie. Over thirty voice actors played a role in this. This is ear-splitting sound effects, bombastic music, and characters shouting back and forth in the middle of a war zone. This is unlike anything you've ever heard.

Book Description for Outlaw Trigger:

They say every man has a breaking point-every man can be pushed off the edge. Scott Remington entered EDEN with the heart of a lion. He forged glory in the furnace of war. But on the heels of dawn, darkness awaits. Only when stretched to the limit will a man truly learn who he is. That limit is about to be breached. Lines will be crossed. Sides will be chosen. And faith will be put to the test. Will the righteous prevail?

Author's Bio:

Born and raised in Cajun country, Lee Stephen spent his childhood paddling pirogues through the marshes of South Louisiana. When he wasn’t catching bullfrogs or playing with alligators in the bathtub (both true), he was escaping to the world of the imagination, creating worlds in his mind filled with strange creatures and epic journeys. This hasn’t stopped.

Now a resident of Luling, Louisiana, Lee spends time every day delving into the world of Epic, the science-fiction series that has come to define him as a writer and producer. Alongside his wife, Lindsey, their sons, Levi and Lawson, and their dog, Jake, Lee has made it a mission to create a series that is unique in its genre—one unafraid to address the human condition while staying grounded in elements of faith.

LET LOGIC LEAD by Lee Stephen
One of the biggest dangers of writing is writing yourself into a corner—getting to a place in the story where you literally have no idea what to do or where to go next. This is a common frustration and one of the questions I get fairly frequently. What does one do when one doesn’t know what to do? What should happen next? I can answer that question with a simple, easy to remember quote.
What should happen next is what would happen next.
You should always let logic dictate the direction of your story. If you’re deep into your narrative and past the point of no return (though really, that point doesn’t exist), what do you do if you’ve gotten yourself stuck? Maybe it’s a perilous situation that your main characters are facing that you don’t know how to get them out of. Maybe they’re just experiencing downtime with no clear direction as to where to go next. Maybe you’re just plum out of ideas. When that happens…write the next natural thing. Write what makes sense.
Perhaps, if they’re in a perilous situation, some of them die or get captured. Maybe they lose. You can work with that. Perhaps, if they’re bogged down in downtime, they get bored and start goofing around to pass the time, too. You can work with that, too. Heck, some of the best cinematic moments happen when characters get lazy or let their guard down. Imagine the characters’ lives and situations as real, then write what would really happen next. It might not be pleasant, but that’s okay. It might take you in a totally different direction than what you’d planned, but that might lead to some of your best writing ever. Hit “play” in their lives and just see what happens next. You might just be surprised at what comes as a result!

Beauty Lashious Pink Eyelash Curler Review

This is the best eyelash curler set I have used yet. I got the pink eyelash curler and I love love love the handle design, makes it so easy to grip your eyelashes and no slipping around. This is a one shot deal, you aren't having to chase around to grab your eyelashes because it is not slipping out of your fingers. I really like the little clip that holds it closed so the junk sprinkles that is in all of our purses does not get all over the pads. It also really does curl your lashes and it really does not pull your eyelashes out while curling them. I have used some curlers, that afterwards I had to check and make sure I had some eyelashes left. This one was pain free. It is about 4 inches long, so shorter then the leading brands even, and to me being shorter makes them easier to use, my hands shake, so being able to use my cheek as a stabilizer does help. These would also make a great beauty gift.

Life Outside the Box Blog Tour & Giveaway

Book Description:

Real Stories about Real People to Entertain, Inspire and Challenge You.

Get inspired to step out of your box and into a world full of potential. From the corporate world, to the arts, to working with the disenfranchised – the message is clear. There is no such thing as a normal way to live your life and no one right solution to any problem. Selected from amongst over 100 interviews, the stories shared here open a window on the journeys of seven women and three men who have charted their own path, including Ruthie Davis – top U.S. luxury shoe designer and the winner of the 2014 AAFA Footwear Designer of the Year award – and Geir Ness whose perfume is a staple in Nordstrom, Disney World and on Disney Cruise Lines. Enjoy a glimpse behind the scenes into the unique ways these individuals chose to deal with life's challenges and how they define success in their careers.

Author's Bio:

Marilyn R. Wilson is a freelance writer and editor with a passion for interviewing. It all began in 2006 when the she answered a Craigslist ad from a NY magazine asking for story submissions. Two were accepted. The first live interview was life changing and Wilson has never looked back. With over 150 interviews now behind her, the love of interviewing is still as strong as ever. Whether through a random encounter on the New York subway or via a “one-on-one” interview with an internationally recognized artist, the goal is the same—to share the unique journeys of inspiring individuals.

In 2007, this goal led the author to co-launch a successful, innovative magazine focused on professionals working in the fashion industry, paired with photography and illustrations by local artists. Now on staff at Raine Magazine (NY/Miami/LA), as well as freelancing for other publications, Wilson has taken her passion to a new audience with the release of her first book.

Interview with Marilyn R. Wilson:


When did you first consider yourself a writer?

This is actually a little hard to answer. For myself – I believe a writer is someone who writes. Period. However, in today's society we don't seem to value anyone as a professional unless they earn a regular paycheck. For me, the magic moment came when I looked at my first published magazine article. Whether I publish on a blog or sell articles – I am a writer. It's in my blood.


Do you have a specific style?

To the best of my ability, I try to write in a voice that is the same as what you would hear if I was sharing with you in person over a cup of coffee. I also try to offer a style that is easy to read. I want the experience to be relaxing and enjoyable, the words to flow easily.


How did you come up with the title?

I was very fortunate to take a writer's workshop with Influence Publishing founder, Julie Salisbury, where I laid out my book. It all came together for me but the title. Life Outside the Box is one she suggested and I immediately knew it was the right one.


What helped you get past writer's block?

I really struggled with serious writer's block several times during the time it took to finish my first book. There were two things that helped. The weather was beautiful during the final 5 months so I started bike riding the minute I felt the stress climb. An hour riding hard and I came home more relaxed. The second was a lovely woman from my publisher who started emailing me every Sunday to ask what I had accomplished the last week and what my goals were for the upcoming week. Just knowing that email was coming helped get me writing.


What avenue did you take to publish your book and why?

Traditional publishing is not an easy door to open as a first time writer and you often have​ ​to sell all rights to the manuscript. Self-publishing is a great avenue for some, but a lot of responsibility and it's important to research costs for editing and proofing and cover art ahead of time as well as understand circulation limitations. I chose to work with a hybrid publisher that had a set contract fee to control costs as well as U.S. and Canadian distributors so that I can access all markets.


If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in Life Outside the Box?

Yes. Overall, the book has turned out just the way I envisioned it, but I realized near the end I wish I had included at least one photo of each of the ten individuals. I think that​ ​a small visual for the reader would have been the icing on the cake.


Is there anything you hope readers will take away from Life Outside the Box?

Interviewing has changed me in so many ways. Each time I hear another unique story, there is always a message for me. In the end, the most important is probably to be inspired to live the life that is calling you. Let go of your reservations and open that door to embrace your passion.
