Naturally Powerful Fruit Boost Face Moisturizer by Organity
I was hoping for a fruity smell, but I guess even better I got very a jar of rich, creamy moisturizer with virtually no smell at all. What little smell is in this cream dissipates very quickly as my skin very quickly drinks it in. I have very dry skin and this cream is doing wonders for it in the week I have been using it. It does not leave me feeling greasy or oily, just very soft and smooth. I have been using it all over my body, and I love it. I need a gallon sized jar of this stuff. It is one of the best moisturizers i have tried in a very long time. I really love that it is natural and organic, instead of full of chemicals and other junk that really do not help my dry skin. It only takes a little bit of this cream to works its magic, so this 2 ounce jar will last a while. When it runs out I will be back for more.

3 Compartment Bento Box with Lid 10 pack by Fit Simple
I love these bowls. They are really large and hold a lot of food. They are great for dinner left overs for lunches. These have 3 compartments in them, you can place a full meal in one bowl and everything is separated. I make enough food at dinner time so my Husband, Daughter, and Son In Law can take left overs for lunch the next day. It used to take a few bowls for each of them, now I can pack a full meal in one bowl. Less dishes for me to wash. Who wouldn't love that? The bowls are microwave and freezer safe as well. I really love that. Some things I make there is just so much left over, like with some stews and casseroles. Everyone burns out on it before we run out of it, I hate to waste food. Now I can store it in the freezer in these bowls and if we need a lunch just pull it out of the freezer the night before and let it thaw in the refrigerator over night and it is ready for lunch the next day. I also love that these bowls set down into each other and the lids neatly stack on top of the pile. I have a very small kitchen with limited cabinet space, so these bowls are actually space savers for me. The lids fit very nicely on these bowls, I haven't actually put liquid in them and turned them upside down, but they say they are leak proof. I do know tomato sauce and a thick gravy did not spill out. These bowls are also dishwasher safe. I really like that they are black and do not show food stains. Tomato sauce does horrible things to some bowls. I don't have to see that with these black bowls.

All Weather Multi Purpose Tray by Perfect Life Ideas
At the moment I am using this as a tray for my dogs food and water. I feed my Dogs a kibble and bit mix dog food and all though my bigger dog will woof down anything the little one likes to dig through the bowl and get his favorite out first, then he will eat the rest. He makes a mess pushing bits out of the way. Their water is one of those auto feeders, and it doesn't over flow but it is always wet around the bowl, the dogs ten to lap at it and send it spraying. I did have a rug under neath it and have also tried one of the silicone mats under it but it is still very messy around their bowls. With this tray in just a the few days I have had it under their bowls my floor is so much cleaner and dryer. I love the lip around the edge it really does seem to catch the water, and also the food they scatter. I have another mat kind of like this that sets by my front door for shoes, it works amazingly well for that as well. I could think of tons of uses besides just the dog food but at the minute that is where it will stay.
This is made out of a hard plastic but is kind of flexible. It is so easy to clean. I stand it up in my kitchen sink and user the sprayer to get all the loose stuff of then run a cleaning solution and water over it to really wash it. I am very happy with this mat and the love the scalloped edges on it. It just gives it something. Wish it would come in different colors so it would go with the theme in my kitchen, where it sets. But then again a lighter color would probably show dirt more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt Four:
The beefy man suddenly moved toward him. Jaleel raised the revolver, aimed, and pulled back the hammer. Hager stopped seven or eight feet away, with enough doubt in his eyes to buy Jaleel more time.
“I can see why you call yourself Mr. Hager. Your real name is Stephen Lyman, isn’t it?” Jaleel said, using information his student had gotten him. “You’ve got a rap sheet. You’ve been in jail several times for failing to pay judgments. You might even be a suspect in the Bank of Vancouver robbery three months ago. That why you’ve been hiding out here with your ex and little boy?”
The volcano in Jaleel was moving from simmer to boil. “If I shot you this instant, would the police really care?”
“You’re in over your head, pussy. I never heard of a teacher type who could pull a trigger.”
“You don’t know anything about me.”
“I know a coward when I see one.”
“So do I,” Jaleel replied.
He took a decisive step forward, and watched as Hager stepped back. “Here’s what I’m going to do,” Jaleel promised, barely recognizing his voice. “I’m not going to call the cops. I’m keeping your gun and going back to my apartment. I don’t want to hear one more word of fighting, one fist slamming my wall, and if you ever hurt your child or even your dog, I’m going to come back and shoot you between the eyes.”

Universal Smartphones Car Air Vent Mount Holder Cradle by ikeenway
I am very happy with this phone mount from Ikeenway. I really like how it mounts to my air conditioner vent but does not block the air coming out like most air vent holders do. I also like that my phone is not pushed directly up to the vent. Phones are expensive and on long rides I am afraid of my phone getting too cold and being destroyed by it being on the ac vent. Also living in Florida I need the cold air on me worse then my phone needs it.
This is a very nice holder. It grips my phone very well holding it steady, I love the little legs at the bottom, an extra measure of protection. The mount is small but yet very sturdy. It is made of environmental ABS material. Plastic. It has cushion on it where it touches the phone so will not cause damage or scratches on my phone. I have a Samsung S6 phone and keep a case on it at all times. This holds my phone very nicely while in the case.
