Aennon Premium Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier w/ Aroma Essential Oil Diffuser
Really nice humidifier and diffuser. Great for large or small rooms. Very easy to use as well. This humidifier holds 1.3 liters of water and will run about 7 hours. It has an auto shut off so when the water runs low it will shut itself off. This has 7 rotating light or you can pick a color and have it stationery, or you can run it with the light off. Makes a great night light. The light is not real bright but you can see with it and also calm children's fear of the dark. The light can also be turned on and the steam turned off. There are 16 settings for the steam from very low to very heavy. Great for a very dry room or in a sick room. Add a couple drops of peppermint and it will help you breath better when you have a cold or even with allergies.
I received this product free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
MICHLEY 3.5-inch Plastic Hand Clappers, pack of 10
Cute little hand clapper toys. These are great for birthday parties or any party really. I like these a lot better then the ones with whistles,, not near as loud when you have 10 kids clacking them. They also last longer then the paper blowers. These also fit nicely into pinata's. These would be great to add to treasure chests or other reward boxes. They are made of plastic. They are 3 1/2 inches long. The pieces except the rubber brand are large enough to not cause a choking hazard. There are 10 in the set. They come shipped in a nice plastic bowl like container with a lid that is taped on.

Easy@Home Digital Bluetooth Body Fat Smart Scale with App
This is my first Bluetooth scale and it is an amazing idea for those really into health and fitness. Download a app to your phone and this scale will report all of your stats directly to your phone. This scale is really a great way to stay on top of your health and fitness. And it is so easy as well. Just stand on it a couple seconds and it does all the work.
The scale is a great size. It has a very nice look to it. The 4.3 inch back lighted screen is also a great size and I have no problem seeing the numbers while standing on it. I wear glasses if I want to see and I can make out the numbers without my glasses, barely but then again I can barely make out anything without my glasses.
The base is made of tempered glass and can safely hold up to 400 pounds, so I have no worries about standing on it with my current weight which is no where near 400 pounds.
In just a few seconds this scale can measure your weight, body fat, body water, body muscle and bone mass. It ill send all the data to the app on your phone. You can use the scale without using the blue tooth function as well. There is an app for both Iphone and android.
The scale runs on 4 AA batteries. The first set is included with the scale.

Excerpt Tour: Lies I Live By by Lauren Sabel
Lies I Live By
by Lauren Sabel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
These
are the facts: My name is Callie Sinclair. I am seventeen years old. I live in
San Francisco. I love my boyfriend, Charlie. I work for a secret governmental
agency. I am a psychic spy. This romantic, action-packed twist on the classic
spy novel is perfect for fans of Ally Carter’s Embassy Row series or for any
reader who enjoys cinematic writing and stories of romance and intrigue.
At seventeen, Callie is
the government’s youngest psychic spy, trained to track dangerous people and
weapons in her visions. When another young—and handsome and witty—psychic joins
the agency, Callie’s personal and professional lives get messy all at once. If
she can’t find a way to change the events she’s seen in her visions, she could
lose the people she loves most . . . and her mind. Literally.
Richly painted against
the backdrop of San Francisco and Berkeley, Lauren Sabel’s enthralling novel
captures the thrill of exploring a unique power in a dangerous world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPTS (Exclusive Excerpt):
There are some clichés that are true.
One of them is that people are like books, full of adventure
and romance and dark moments. But if we are all books, my book is more fiction
than nonfiction. Even the index is all lies; each chapter is invented to make
me look like a normal girl.
The truth is that I’m the kind of book most people never
open. I don’t blame them, not really. According to my boyfriend, Charlie, I
don’t allow anyone to get close enough to me to let them peek inside. Unlike
him. Charlie is one of those people with nothing to hide. He assumes the world
is an open book, a place where all is revealed if we just read it. That’s one
of the things I love about him.
He’s easy to lie to.
These are the basic facts about me:
I am seventeen.
I live in San Francisco.
I work for a secret government agency.
I spend many hours a day out of my mind.
I am a psychic spy.

Blurb Blitz: A SEAL's Vow by Cora Seton
A SEAL's Vow
by Cora Seton
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: contemporary romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
After fifteen long, dangerous years in the service, Navy SEAL Clay Pickett is ready for his new mission: build a model sustainable community and show the world an exciting alternative to a consumption-based life. If that means he’s got a deadline to find a wife in order to win the reality TV show that’s filming his sustainable adventure, so be it. He’s got just the woman for the job in mind: beautiful, dedicated Nora Ridgeway.
When Nora left her job as a school teacher in Baltimore to live a simpler, Jane Austen style life in Montana with her friends, she was relieved to escape the escalating threats of violence from an unknown student stalker, but she can’t help feeling she’s abandoned the other high schoolers who put their faith in her. She’s torn about Clay’s advances, too. On the one hand she’s never met anyone like the strong, sexy SEAL. On the other hand, life’s taught her to take relationships slow—and Clay’s on a deadline.
When arson strikes and Nora disappears, Clay knows he’ll need every trick he learned in his time with the SEALs to track her down and save her life.
Can two people caught by their pasts have a chance at a future?

Excerpt One:
Clay wrapped an arm around her waist, pulled her to him and explored her mouth with his, deepening the kiss until she clung to him, dizzy with the sensations swirling inside of her.
“We’ve got to take this slow,” Nora gasped.
“Slow?” Clay said. He searched her face. “What does that mean, exactly?” His breathing was uneven. Nora knew he wanted her and knew she was close to giving in to him. She wanted it too. But how would she feel tomorrow?
“Just kissing.”
Clay visibly struggled get himself under control. “That’s a tall order,” he confessed with a lopsided grin.
“I know.” She hoped he had the self-control to pull it off. She wasn’t sure she did.
“Just kissing,” he agreed after a moment. “But a whole hell of a lot of it.”
“That’s perfect.” As he bent toward her, she met him halfway.
An hour later, when Clay walked her to the manor, Nora was practically panting with the need to be made love to. She ached for Clay’s touch—wanted so badly to be with him.
“I’m never getting to sleep,” Clay murmured in her ear when they paused outside the manor’s front door. “Can I at least think of you while I… you know?”
“Only if I can think of you,” she said honestly. She couldn’t even pretend she wouldn’t do the same as soon as she was upstairs alone. No way could she sleep in this state.
“We could help each other,” Clay suggested.
“No, we can’t,” she said sadly.
“Why not?” He pressed another kiss to the base of her neck and Nora felt herself slipping, wanting to give in.
“Because if you touch me much longer, I’m going to beg you to take me,” she confessed.
“I want to.”
“I want you to, too.”
“Nora…”
She knew all that Clay wanted to say. This was crazy. It was agony. It wasn’t fair.
But it was the way it had to be. In the morning light they’d still be at Westfield. Clay would still have to marry within two months. That still wouldn’t be long enough for them to really get to know each other.
Would it?

Excerpt Three:
Gina pressed against the Plexiglas window of the store room again, just as the door swung towards her. The door smacked her face with a sharp POP and she fell backwards, landing on her backside with a thump.
Light silhouetted the dark figure in the doorway, radiating around him like a halo. He bent towards her, hand extended, and the halo turned into a cowboy hat. Ah, there was that good looking cowboy she was just thinking about . . .
She reached up and took his offered hand, and he pulled her up so she stood mere inches from him. She'd been right about his height. She looked straight ahead at his broad chest. His muscles filled out his plaid flannel shirt. Dark hairs curled over the shirt where his top two buttons were undone. Her eyes wandered up the curve of his neck, over the strong line of his jaw, and settled on his lips. They were parted slightly, welcoming, inviting. She looked at those amazing blue eyes . . . which were not focused on her eyes.
There was a sharp pop as she slapped his face.
