Sunsella Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer


The  Sunsella Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer is one of the better quality steamers I have tried, and I have tried a few. I love to cook and I am a from scratch cook, no boxed or freezer meals for my family. 
Kitchen gadgets a major part of my life. I love gadgets that make my life easier in and out of the kitchen. This steamer makes my life easier in the kitchen. It is a 1 piece steamer, all the parts are securely attached so you don't have to worry about it falling apart. It is great in multiple sized pans. It goes from 5.3 to 9.25 inches in diameter, and is 2 to 3.35 inches tall. It has a sturdy central ring for removing from pans safely. The whole are plenty big enough to effectively drain all liquids out without loosing anything or plugging up. It is completely made of 100% high grade stainless steal and should last for years with normal use.

I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion.

Ebook - Dolphins don't Run Marathons by Sam Brand




Ok well this is a strange book, but a book that makes you think. The book is basically about the types of people in the running world.
  The author Sam Brand breaks down people into 3 catagories or animals, The Ant, The Chimpanzee, and the Dolphin. The ant is the marathon runner, the people who are always running, looking tired and sad, they tend to live a stressful life. The Chimpanzee is one of the people who do not like sports, they are also the group of people who prefer a social activity that makes them feel good over going to the gym. The dolphin enjoys life for what it is.
  Like I said this book is basically about the running world but with a clear mind while reading this book it will also work to explain your life just change the running to what ever it is you do.
I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion.

Ebook - Terry Treetop Saves The Dolphin Review





First off I just have to say I really enjoy all of the books I have read by Tali Carmi. They are very engaging books for the kids and the pictures are just great. They are very colorful and lots going on in them to get and keep the kids attention. You can pretty much read the story just from the pictures.  
 Terry Treetop Saves The Dolphin is just one book from Tali's Terry Treetop series. It's about a little boy named Terry who loves to climb trees and his friends call him Treetop because of his love of climbing trees. In this book Terry and his family go on a camping vacation to a marine nature reserve on their summer vacation.  Terry meets a dolphin family. The baby dolphin gets hung up in a old fishing net. It's up to Terry to save him. Does Terry become a hero? 
  This is a great story for kids from 2 to 8 I would say. I was given this book in exchange for my honest review.

Excerpt 

“I want you to be comfortable, sweetness. You have a look on your face as if you’re expecting me to crush you. That’s not an ideal mindset to instigate your desire.” He rolled to a sitting position, leaned against the couch, and patted his thigh.

“Here, sit on my lap. We’ll just hold each other for a bit.”

Muscles melting in relief, Keely threw her leg over his and settled onto his lap.

He caressed her arm and spoke softly. “Ready?”

She nodded and glanced over to Baruch. He was trying to focus his eyes.

Keely jumped when Makar’s hands landed on her hips.

“Relax. You’re in charge. Okay?”

She stared into his golden eyes and tried to figure out why she was so damn jumpy. Releasing her breath, she placed her hands on his shoulders and leaned forward. “I’m going to kiss you. Will you do that electrical charge thing again? I need some warning.”

“No, sweets. That was a one-time deal. Lay it on me.”

Moving closer, she felt his palms slide up her back. The moment their mouths touched, she closed her eyes and fell into the most sublime experience imaginable. His lips were soft, his motions gentle, and his tongue warm and inviting. Gradually, she grew bolder and demanded more from the kiss, withdrawing, nipping his full lower lip, and kissing the sting away before starting the intimate exploration all over again. His palms pressed harder against her back, pulling her closer.

Coming up for air, she sighed when her breasts smashed against his chest and he nibbled along her neck. A slight tug on her earlobe sent tingles shooting across her skin. His sensuously accented words had her wiggling on his lap.

“That’s it, sweetness. I smell a slight aroma of violets. Let go, baby. Give us more. Umm, yes. Keep moving your hips. Yes, just like that. Ride me. Ah, you’re making me so hard, Keely.”

Excerpt:
“And you lied to me, Vixen.” They stared, chests rising and falling with hard breaths. He didn’t care for her name calling. The heat of a hundred fires lashed his insides, eased up to his face until he had to wipe his sweating brow.
“You said you were a businessman.” Her full pink lips remained thin somehow. Her body remained tense, shaking somewhat.
“No, I didn’t. You said that.”
“And you didn’t disagree.” She placed both hands on her hips. He followed the movement, taking in the curves of her suited body and remembered how luscious she was without clothes on. A twitch in his crotch jerked his eyes back to her blushing cheeks.
He smirked. “Well, I was in the middle of something.”
Her angel face reddened, proving to him how angry she was. In fact, the steam of her anger misted into the air between them. “You’re just a con!”
“If I’m a con, what are you?” Her eyes widened. He’d hit a nerve. But he had to continue. She wasn’t going to get off so easy. “Does your employer know you dance at the Tease? Do they know you strip for money?”
He was being cruel, and he should stop. Or he should take her and kiss her like she needed to be kissed. Only his mouth would shut her up—he’d proved that the night before. Though, she might not be screaming his name there.
“How dare you!” Her large eyes glossed over.
Just as he was going to say something, apologize for being a brute, the elevator doors opened. Both sets of eyes turned to the empty vessel waiting for passengers to enter. One foot in and she grabbed him by the bicep. “We aren’t done.” Her gaze went to his mouth, lingered there in that split second that could have been a lifetime. To test her intention, he licked his bottom lip slowly. Sure enough, her stare moved with the motion, and her lips parted in time to release a small whimper.
Something overcame him. The same something that overcame him last night to even be so bold with a woman. He pulled her into the elevator with him, pressing her back against the elevator wall just as the doors closed.

Lashiq Natural Eyelash Growth Serum Review




I've always envied those who have naturally long lashes, I on the other hand have to use a eyelash curler before applying multiple coats of mascara. As you can imagine I was extremely excited to try a product designed to show results in 4 weeks. The application of the serum took only seconds and was very easy, so easy in fact, I was sure I was doing it wrong! It comes in a tube similar mascara and goes on like liquid eyeliner. There was no stinging or burning and it doesn't feel heavy or sticky on my lash line. There is also a ton of product that I am sure will last through several months of application. This is a great product for those lacking in the eyelash department and wanting to experience eyelash growth without a multitude of nasty chemicals!
I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion.
