Retseliney Antioxidant Witch Hazel Alcohol-free Facial Toner with Green Tea & Aloe Vera, Best Organic & Natural Anti Aging Skin Toner for Face, Vegan, Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Ok Ok I know ,I know, before you say anything I know what you are thinking.
This isn't a book.. Please forgive me ,but this product needs to be shared. I was so amazed by it. So as I do with the books I read I wanted to share this with you too.
This product I won from a giveaway on https://connywithay.wordpress.com/ blog.. I am so happy I got this.
I will be buying more products from them. This product does what it says. It is not sticky or leave any residue to your face or fingers. It left my skin feeling smooth not gunky.
I can tell a difference in using this product. My skin feels smoother , silkier, and I must say I can tell some wrinkles are not as visible around my eyes
Worth giving it a try people.. I must admit the bottle is not a very big bottle like most serums are smaller, I was thinking my self bottle would be bigger than what it is. But worth the price you will not be disappointed.
You do not need but just a little dab. It will go on a long way. One thing I liked is the product is vegan, I liked that due to not having any artificial dyes or fragrances'. that is really important to me. Some of the all natural ingredients are Seabuckhorn Oil, Green Tea, Raspberry Seed Oil, and Blueberry extract which I think adds a slight fruity scent to it. Doesn't last long though. It is a clear almost like I said earlier similar to a serum. Dries very quickly and smooth. No residue you can immediately add your moisturizer or toner on after it dries.

Confessions from the Pumpkin Patch by Karlyle Tomms

Excellent written book. I didn't care for the cussing that was in the book ,but I understand what author was trying to do . It's not my normal genre of book but I enjoyed it. You learn how the characters think and can start to finish sentences for them. This book I would not recommend it for young readers,due to language and situations that are in thus book. Worth reading.
I give this book a 4 star .
I received a free ebook copy of this book for a book review from the author.

151 Puzzles , tips, and tricks to blow and grow your mind.

Marbles: the brain store is first-of-its kind shop offering handpicked, expert-tested, fun-filled products to strengthen your brain.

136 pages full of all sorts of puzzles to do. As most puzzles books , all the answers are at the end of the book. 
It breaks the puzzles with symbols that it will explain at the beginning of the book. So you understand the level of difficulty so to speak.
   At the very end of the book it gives you the names of all the people that created the puzzles. I thought it was very creative to do this. I really liked learning about the people and it also gave you additional websites to go visit for more puzzles.
   I would not recommend this book for young adults due to some puzzles are quite hard and I feel that it would discourage them instead of activating their creative mind. Other than some puzzles I couldn't get, I enjoyed this book.
 Worth getting to enjoy with your family or friends on vacation or on a rainy day.

THE DIET DROPOUTS GUIDE TO NATURAL WEIGHT LOSS BY STAN SPENCER , PHD

Product Details


THE DIET DROPOUTS GUIDE TO NATURAL WEIGHT LOSS BY STAN SPENCER PHD.

This book is very informative. Explaining what you need to create your own weight loss program that works for you. Lets you know how to naturally boost your metabolism. Helps you understand how important meditation is good for weight loss along with general stresses you encounter in life.
Also, this book gives you the tools to do meditation daily. 
I really like how the author points out how your perspective can make a big emotional difference.  I am a firm believer in this. I starting using his 3 step routine and it does help kick my habit of irrational thinking and became happier. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not a negative person by any means, but this has helped me stop thinking negative thoughts of people in general. I know that habit is not very nice of me, but I am honest. 
One of the best advises this book tells you is just avoid temptations in food then you beat the temptation. I think this is great advice in any life situation in general.
Here is a quick inset of this book concerning weight loss:
    The  equation below summarizes what happens to calories in the food you eat. Neither your genetics nor your food environment can change this simple mathematical truth.
      Calories stored = calories eaten -calories burned.
Think of calories as money. If you earn (eat) just a little more than you spend (burn) your savings (fat) will gradually grow overtime.

I like the way the author helps you look at things you have heard before but into a different way. Very informative chapter on myths of weight loss. Plus, I enjoyed at the end very easy and realistic recipes. They are very tasty and easy to make. I personally enjoyed the yogurt parfait.
Readers can enjoy this weight loss book without feeling discouraged. The author of this book sets up lots of information and shows you how you can set yourself realistic goals to achieve a healthier lifestyle and loos weight in the process.

CLUTTER CONTROL USEFUL TIPS FOR GETTING RID OF THE MESS BY SUSAN WRIGHT



CLUTTER CONTROL! USEFUL TIPS FOR GETTING RID OF THE MESS 
                                          BY :   SUSAN WRIGHT                                                         

The title states it all. From the first few sentences of this book I could relate. For the first time, this book got me excited to get organized. My sister gave me this book and I have always wanted to be as organized as her. I thought it came naturally and I just missed that gene, but to my surprise this book helped her. Immediately I stopped what I was doing and started reading.
It is very helpful that at the end of each chapter the author gives you a quick numbered summery so you can use it as a go-to reference later if needed.
The only thing I disagree with is, the spouse cleaning part. Now, I am not saying that the spouse gets a free pass to help with cleaning, but , what the author suggests is to stop cleaning and make it known to your spouse why. I personally think that will cause too much conflict and will lead to an argument, bitterness and resentment. Like for me, that wouldn't work cause I would rather do it because I am a control freak. My husband is the main breadwinner. So I do not feel it is right to ask him to work all day 6 days a week come home and help me clean. If it was the other way around I personally would be .. UGH NO!!! But that is just me.

However, I love this advice . Here is an insert from the book from Chapter 5 on storage page 31
At some point, you'll find yourself surrounded by objects that have no clearly defined category & no relation to other miscellaneous objects. Don't simply store them in first handy space; it will defeat your purpose of organization. You will never remember where everything is.

This is so true I find myself doing this which causes me to give up organizing, I really enjoyed this book and I am glad that I got it.

If you are looking to organize your house then this is the book for you.

THE DANIEL PLAN 40 DAYS TO A HEALTHIER LIFE BY RICK WARREN

Product Details

THE DANIEL PLAN  40 DAYS TO A HEALTHIER LIFE BY NICK WARREN

I personally have done a Daniel fast. I can say it does work for healthier life style. You will loose weight, you will feel better, and it is not that hard to do. When I did it I only ate things that came from a seed. No artificial flavors or coloring. You can season foods just as long they are natural. No added ingredients. No yeast, which means you can only have wheat flour in recipes, you have to watch the breads. You just got to get creative, pumpkin pancakes with melted peanut butter in place of syrup. No dairy so on so forth.

When I got this book I was so excited. Now I am not saying for everyone to do the fast like I did . I took it a little extreme.  This book teaches you how to eat a healthier lifestyle. It goes by biblical principles , by doing what Daniel did in the bible. YOU CAN EAT MEAT PEOPLE. 
The book breaks everything down and teaches you how to recognize how so many products are under so many different names. We all know diets don't work, Lifestyle changes do. 
 I borrowed this from their website I think really wraps this book up.
The overarching message of The Daniel Plan is about abundance, not deprivation, and this is why the plan is both transformational and sustainable. The Daniel Plan teaches a step-by-step approach and offers simple ways to incorporate healthy choices into your current lifestyle. Throughout the program you are encouraged to rely on God’s power, and the application of dependable biblical principles.

The diet plan are in more or less in phases.. first you will do a detox to get rid of all the bad in your body. No this does not mean you will be in the bathroom for weeks.
you wont be hungry you eat 3 times a day and have 2 snacks . You will learn how to eat better. 
The book shows you what you need to have a healthier life. It is up to you to have it . Well worth getting but you have to be serious and ready to make a change.

The Help

 THE HELP BY KATHRYN STOCKETT

I love this book. I mean LOVE this book. One of my favorites. Much better than the movie.
You will hear your characters talk , laugh when they laugh, cry when they cry, and get mad when they are angry. I think the story is for almost all ages. Plus it tells a tale of how segregation I believe was in the 1960s.

The story is based in the 60's in southern Mississippi where segregation was wanted and part of life. There is a black maid along with others that tells you many stories of what it was like to be a black maid. Secrets they knew but no one would tell , stories of how they raised the white children and how they made friends with the unexpected. 
Also a white woman wants to stand up to everyone when she sees how many blacks are being treated but does she stand up for injustice? How does she do it? Will she fight to get the stories of the maids to be published? Would she take the risk in southern Mississippi?
You will feel every emotion when you read this book. You will hear your characters talk, you will cry when they cry, laugh when they laugh, get angry when they are wronged?
YOU must read this book. Even if you have seen the movie and loved it .... the book is ten times better.
