These are really cute panties. They seemed to be made very well. I wear a size 6 in panties, but I bought the large. They fit more like a size 5, guess I needed the extra large instead they do fit me just not right. They are not uncomfortable or anything but they just don't cover as much of my hiney as I prefer. They are hipsters, but I just don't care fit he fit. So I gave my Daughter the 5 pairs I haven't worn and she loves them. She is a little smaller then I am and wears a size 5 in panties. She loves the fit and the style. I thought they were adorable especially the black ones with pink lace. I love that these have a double lined crotch in them. The lace around the top and legs are very soft and are not scratchy or itchy at all. We both loved that. There are 6 pairs in this set of panties. All are made the same but each pair is a different set of colors. The colors are very bright and vibrant. They say to hand wash in cool water, but I put my pair and she put hers in the washer and dryer both with no problems. They did not shrink, color bleed, or shred apart. Please do not take my 4 star rating as a manufacturing problem as it is not, these are very nice panties. Just size wise buy bigger.

I really like this pepper grinder from E-Prance. Not only is it stylish and modern looking but it works great. I put pepper corns in mine and I love that it is adjustable to make the pepper corns fine or course. I am a from scratch cook and I love grinding my own spices, they just taste better. This grinder makes grinding easy. Just a few twists and I am set. Works great for adding pepper to cooking or once the prepared food hits the table.
The top and bottom of the grinder are a brushes stainless steel and the center section is a clear acrylic. The grinder itself is a ceramic grinding blade, and like I said is adjustable. I like that it is not huge. I have one of the long 9 inch grinders and it is forever falling over, this one is about 4 1/2 inches tall and is stable, The brushed stainless steel is easy to keep clean by wiping with a damp cloth, it does not hold onto finger prints. Which I really love.
I am very happy with this grinder. Now to buy a 2nd one so I can have a matching set for my table.

I love this expandable water hose. I have a large yard and I also have plants all over my yard. I live in Florida and those plants need a drink year round. I love the expandable capabilities of this hose. It does not stay 75 feet long once the water is off and out of the hose, it shrinks down to about 25 feet and makes it easier to put away. My favorite part is it is not nearly as heavy as a regular rubber garden hose.
The hose also comes with a sprayer. The sprayer has 8 adjustable patterns to it, so I can water my tender plants as well as the hard core trees and bushes.
There is no different to the water pressure with this hose versus the rubber hose. One the hose is full of water it actually looks like a regular hose. These hose can even be connected to other hose, rubber or other expandable hoses. This is really making my yard so much easier to keep looking nice.

Very nice set of paint brushes. These are the stiffer rough type brushes. They are great for my crafting, and would be great for the artist in everyone. There are 10 different sized paint brushes in the set from very small to quite large, about 1 cm is the largest. My son in law who is a budding artist says it is a great starter set. The brushes are nice from novice to professional. Anyone who likes to paint would love to have this set added to their brush collection. For me it does great on my ceramics and other crafts.

Awesome head unit. This is a full entertainment center for your vehicle. It has everything you can imagine. It will play the radio, your mp3s, dvd's, Mp4's, it has a USB port, sd card slots, it it bluetooth, and I have probably forgot a few things. It is touch screen and it has a remote. The front screen folds downward to access all of the ports. You can even hook a rear view camera up to it and use the 7 inch screen for seeing as you back up. The 7 inch screen is Hi-Resolution 7-inch HD Digital Display, and has a really clear picture while watching movies. You will need to either have it installed or install it yourself. You will need to get the wiring harness for your vehicle though.

Five stars for this imaginative and inspiring story, sure to be as appealing to general audiences as it will be to the YA crowd!" 5-stars - Publishers Daily Reviews
"I LOVE to read, but live a hugely busy life. It gets more complicated upon that rare occasion when a book is so captivating, so enthralling, that it is impossible to walk away. With only definitive hours in a day, something has to give. For me, that was sleep! And it was worth every sacrificed minute. “The Urban Boys” was the grand slam home run and exceeded my wildest expectations and I would bet, maybe yours, as well. Totally new concepts and a rich crew of characters – good, bad and ugly… and suspenseful twists that keep you guessing, and such beautiful, strong writing! A must read for fans of YA action/adventure/fantasy!!" 5-stars - Indie Book Reviewers
K.N. Smith is an American author and passionate advocate of childhood and family literacy programs throughout the world. She continues to inspire students of all ages to reach their highest potential in their literary and educational pursuits. Her creative, lyrical flair sweeps across pages that twist, turn, and grind through elements of paranormal and action-adventure in diverse, exciting, edge-of-your-seat narratives. She lives with her family in California.
Even though The Urban Boys is a work of fiction, I still did research for the book. Because there are two distinct towns mentioned in the book, I wanted to be sure I wasn't using actual names of towns already established. I searched as far and wide as I could and came up with what you see in the book, and these two towns are about as different as you can get. I also researched the meanings of some of the characters’ names, and other things.
Which was the hardest character to write? The easiest?
The character that was the most difficult to write was Mrs. Perkins. She is filled with mystery herself, although she works diligently to not show it. Nice, quiet, always smiling and waving. Is there something behind her smile? Keep reading and you'll find out! Mason was probably the easiest character to write. He's lovable, and he loves his big brother, Jordan.
Do you ever get writer’s block? What helps you overcome it?
With respect to writers block, I really don't experience that when I'm writing a novel because my outline is so organized and laid out I know exactly where the story is going. I'm always thinking of things to add to the stories, and I've developed a system of capturing those ideas, so in a way, that helps me overcome stumbling blocks.
What is your writing schedule?
When I'm writing a book I keep a very rigorous schedule. I write 1,000 words per day to completion, and sometimes more. Although we all have busy days doing many things, there's always time to squeeze in a bit of writing. It becomes important to guard my time so I can get through the novel. In other words, unless the house is on fire, I'll be out when I'm done. Just slide my food under the door. Really, I'll be fine!
What advice would you give budding writers?
My advice to budding writers is to get down to it and start writing today. We tend to overthink things to the point where our thoughts consume more of our time than the writing does. Just start somewhere with a few words on the page each day and realize the progress you actually made. Less talking, more doing! You're a star in the making, so what are you waiting for?
