Himalayan Salt Lamp by #himalayansaltsolution
Very beautiful handmade Himalayan Salt Lamp. I love how salt lamps are for more then just lighting a room. They are great for absorbing odors, bad energy but mostly they help relieve anxiety and depression by just being turned on. These lamps are hand made so they are not a perfect size or weight. My lamp weighs between 5 and 7 pounds. Make sure you put the lamp where it will not get dropped on someone. It could hurt or kill a child. The bulb is very easy to change just by pulling the electrical socket out of the bottom of the lamp. Regular night light bulbs will fit as replacement bulbs. The power is on the cord and hals features a dimmer dial, so this can be used at whatever brightness you need. I have these lams in 4 of my rooms and love them. Salt lamps should be wrapped in plastic when not in use.
I received this product for free or at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Yoptote Multicolor Bowling Ball Toys Set
Cute bowling set. The kids have been having a blast with it. The pins do not stand upright on the ground but they do stand up pretty well on the floor. These are plastic pins and are not weighted down. The balls are also plastic and are not weighted. With the pins and the balls being light weighted the younger kids ( 2 & 3 yrs old) have a chance against the bigger kids (5 to 8 yrs old). This bowling set would make a nice gift for the kids. We did notice with the thinner plastic that the pins are made of do tend to crush under weight. We store the pins in their box on a shelf.
I won this bowling set in an Amazon give away and was not asked for a review but wanted to let you know my thoughts on the product.

ZhuChef Ceramic Professional Chef Kitchen Knife 8 Inch Non Slip P
Very nice Chef's knife. Very sharp too. I love the non slip handle!! In the above video you can see how quick and easy this knife cuts onions and potatoes. The knife is very lightweight in my hand, works great with my carpal tunnel. I love to cook for me it is more then just a means to survive. It is more of a hobby. I love using fresh items. This knife is not only great for fresh veggies it also is great with meats. I love this knife. It is a lot larger then a paring knife but I can use it just as good as one with the sharpness of it.
TasteMate Dual Salt & Pepper Shaker
I love fresh ground pepper in my cooking, so I am always looking for great grinders. This is very close to being perfect for me. I love that the top part is actually a shaker not a grinder but the bottom half is a grinder. I can keep this on my counter for cooking or it looks great setting on my table as well. I love that it sets, a lot of grinders seem to be top heavy and knock over easily. This one sets, it is weighted perfectly and does not wobble over. I love the height of it as well it is about 6 1/4 inches tall, it is about 1 3/4 inches wide. It fits in my hand very well. I also like how it looks, it is a very modern shape to it and would look great in any kitchen. The grinder on the bottom can be used with more then just pepper. You could add salt or other seasonings and spices to the bottom section. The top section is a shaker for salt or other pre-ground spices or seasonings. The grinder is adjustable so you can choose the coarseness you desire.

I received this at a discount but am not required to write a review, but I decided I should let people know about my experience with it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt
Three:
chapter
3 – first sparks
Victoria
was beginning to feel quite miserable. She was soaked from head to
toe, most of her body immersed in the water. Her heavy skirts were
feeling like lead weights as they pulled her towards the current. Her
boots were slowly sinking into the sludge on the river bottom. And
the gorgeous stranger was now looking at her appraisingly.
“Can
you reach my hand?”
Victoria
felt a shiver slither up her back at the sound of his deep voice as
he leaned down for her.
Wishing
there were some other way, Victoria looked at him then up and down
the river once more. Unfortunately, the riverbanks had not changed in
the last few minutes and there was still no way to get up the bank on
her own. Turning back to the stranger, she gritted her teeth and
stretched out her hand.
Bryghton
was struck by the young woman’s beauty. Her remarkable eyes held so
much expressive emotion. He could tell she was scared and embarrassed
but she had the wit to realize she had little choice if she wished to
be rescued from her precarious position. The duke knew that not too
much farther downstream the river deepened considerably.
The feel
of her cold little hand in his large, warm one sent a strange
sensation through him, but he knew this was not the time to be
distracted. Despite her slight frame, her soaking clothes were
weighing her down considerably, and effort would be required to get
her out. In a similar gesture to hers, he too gritted his teeth and
yanked on her arm.
With a
plop, and after a swift scrabble up the bank, Victoria landed on the
edge of the river next to the impeccably dressed, handsome stranger.
Blushing again, she offered a shy, hesitant smile as she pushed
herself to a seated position.
