Book Review - Sweet Home Amy

Happy Tuesday tweeps!  How are you?  How was your Monday?  Great, I hope! :)  Last week I came across the cutest blog with the name of Sweet Home Amy and saw where she had written a book.  It looked very interesting, so I emailed her to request a copy to do a review on.  She responded immediately and sent it right out.  I was SO excited to have it in my little hands and got right to reading it. :)

 

 

The book tells her story of getting married very young in her 20's, getting divorced, being single and dating once again and all of her trials and tribulations along the way.  She had several "hot" characters in the book that she went out with.  There was Doctor, Sailor and Mystery Man to name a few.  Each one was different with an interesting story about each of them.  We all know it's not easy getting back out into the dating scene, no matter how old you are.  I love Amy's honesty and perspective from a young girl's experiences.  I love the fact that she didn't hold anything back either and told everything like it happened, when it happened.  It's actually a diary of sorts and keeps you guessing what's going to happen next and what guy wins out in the end.  Once I began reading it, I couldn't put it down.  I honesty read it in less than 24 hours! :)

 

If you'd like to read about her adventures, you're in luck!  You can purchase it on your Kindle through Amazon here for $2.99 or, if you’d prefer a hard copy, you can get it for $8.99 on Lulu here.  (You can save 10% at this time)  Also, I am going to talk to Amy today and see if she minds me passing along the book to another reader.  If she says yes, I will have a giveaway for one lucky reader here!  Stay tuned. :)

 

If you'd like to know more about Amy, you can follow her on Twitter or like her on Facebook.  Did I mention that she also has a 2nd book coming out soon as well?  Since her first book, she's had some new adventures, and from the sounds of the teaser in the 2nd book, I can't wait to read the latest ones! Again, go give a fellow blogger some love and support and check out her book! Her blog is adorable and you won't be dissapointed. Amy, thank you so much for letting me read and review your book - I absolutely loved it all and couldn't put it down. 

 

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by to say hello! P.S. I have NO clue what the heck is going on with my fonts today, but please ignore the fact that it's all different - I've tried fixing it all, but to no avail. *sigh*

 

Lots of love and hugs,

Happy Tuesday my friends.  How was your Monday?  Great, I hope!  My day was definitely better than it's been the last couple of weeks but especially the past week and weekend, so I can say my day was GREAT! :)

Anywho, I am a member of Vocalpoint.com and was sent a FULL size of the new Downy Unstopables (Fresh Scent) (In-wash scent booster) to try out.  All I can say is OH MY WORD - it smells SOOO GOOD and makes your clothes smell Fresh and Clean.  The scent is supposed to last a full 30 days, however, I've not had it long enough yet to give it that kind of rating.  But, I can say that I've been using it now for the last week and have enjoyed the fresh scent.  And since I am an honest person - I can also tell you my "goof" with it - ha! 

This entire time I thought it was a fabric softener just in bead form so I haven't been using any fabric softener in my clothes.  I started noticing they were coming out staticy and couldn't figure out why.  Welll...... DUH - I should have read the bottle and the pamplet they sent me and I would have known better! HA!  It's ONLY an in-washer scent booster NOT the fabric softener - LOL  Oh well... live and learn.  So, if you want to try out the Unstoppables or any other free product - please go and join Vocalpoint - it's free and easy to join and best of all, you could get some "FREE" products to try and who doesn't love FREE - I do! :)

Well guess I'd better run.  Thanks for stopping by to say hi and please let me know you were here.  Have a great day and I can't wait to hear all about your weekends.  Look for Senior pictures of my daughter soon - :(  She's all grown up and making this mama very very sad. *sigh*  I will post one as a teaser tomorrow. :)

Lots of love and hugs,

Random - Friday, CSN Stores, WW Weigh-In

Looks like we made it! YAY!  This has been ONE of those weeks and I am literally about to go crazy to say the least ya'll!  I can't wait to sleep in on Saturday morning for a change instead of having somewhere to be, and early at that.  So what is on your agendas for the weekend?  I hope that we are able to finally get our garage cleaned out again and more stuff donated, but we'll see.  And I hope to either decide on a stain or paint color for the trunk that I've been working on.  I am still taking suggestions so feel free to let me know your ideas as well. :o)  We only have 2 weeks from today til we leave for vacation and I can NOT wait! :o)  This is going to be a very random post so just bear with me, um kay?! :O)

I have finally decided on these 2 items from the CSN stores to try out and review:

Paula Deen 9" x 13" Stoneware Baker - since I LOVE to bake (as those of you who've been around these parts for a while know about me) I can't wait to try this!

Rachael Ray 3-in-1 "Veg-A-Peel" Potato Peeler/Brush - I'm always searching for tools like this that are compact and take up very little space in my kitchen drawers and such. :o)

Once I have received these goodies and tried them out, you'll be the first to know! :o)  Also, Jason Zimelman, who is a part of the wonderful promotions team of the CSN Stores, has given me his permission to let you know that if you would like to review a product or have a give-away for the CSN Stores, just send him an email with your request.  His information can be found here.  He is very nice and easy to work with and will guide you effortlessly through it all. :o)

Okay - so today is my normal weekly WW Weigh-In and the verdict for this week is: 127.4 which means I am only down 6/10ths of a pound since last week - but that's okay - I will take it.  It is my lowest weight in a very very long time. :o)

Well, I told you this post was going to be random but happy Friday my loves and thanks for stopping by to say hello.  I hope that you all have a wonderfully blessed day and an even better weekend.  P.S.  Sorry about my Southern Drawl coming out today - I'm too tired to care - LOL hope you don't mind and will overlook me just this once. :o)

Lots of love and hugs,

Answers to Trunk Questions & Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Daily Sunblock Review #2

Happy Thursday my friends!  Hope you've had a great week so far.  The last 2 days have been absolutely C-R-A-Z-Y for me.  I've been working on a different floor, at a different desk, for different attorneys on Tuesday and Wednesday and I am so happy to finally get back to my own desk today.  The bad thing was all I did was cover their phones for them mainly because I was taking dictation and working on a 100 page document for my main boss who is in Bermuda for the summer (at his summer home) and really had no time to do much else - especially while taking 3 hours straight of dictation over the phone. ACK!  Needless to say, I am TIRED! zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Thank you for all of your questions and comments regarding the pictures from yesterday.  It is a Lane Hope Chest that I found and got for F-R-E-E on the side of the road along with some other items.  The outside looked bad but when I opened it and saw the inside was in perfect condition, I.HAD.TO.HAVE.IT!  I even went into the bar and asked one of the men there to come help me load it in my truck! HA!  Yes, I am restoring it myself, which is taking longer than I had planned.  I really thought I would have it finished completely by the end of the 3 day long weekend but as you can see, I barely got the top stripped by the end of the 3rd day and I can tell you that my arms and hands hurt more than they ever have.  It was extremely hard work! *sheesh*  LOL  I am giving it to my daughter as a gift for her.  I want to start collecting the things she will need when she goes away to college and/or gets married later down the road to get her started and this is the perfect trunk to do just that.  I've been looking for one for her since she was young, and this one just kind of fell in my lap so I could not, not take it home with me, right?! :o)

 

On another note, regarding the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Daily Sunblock that I was given to try and review I have to say that I am in love with it completely! I love the way it makes my skin feel so soft and moisturized. There is absolutely no greasy film left behind and even as I am putting it on, I don't even know it's there. This is definitely a product I will choose to purchase once I have ran out of my last bottle that was given to me to try out. You should definitely try it - I think you will enjoy it as much as I do. The fact that it also has a 70 SPF helps too and I look forward to seeing how it works against the Florida sun in August on our vacation! If you would like to review UltraSheer®, too then go to http://www.giantwavepool.com/ultrasheer.  Or get $2 off your UltraSheer® purchase at http://www.neutrogena.com/suncoupon.

Neutrogena Review

Well, hello there my favorite peeps!  How the heck are ya?  Good, I hope!  Recently, I happened to be "twitting" one day and saw where someone had just been approved to do a review for Neutrogena on their Ultra Sheer Liquid Daily Sunblock product and thought I would see what it was all about.  So I tweeted it and filled out the form and was also approved and received my product with speedy delivery! :o)  I LURVE it!  It goes on very light, has a good scent (though I think that's something they could improve on - it does smell good but not anything "special") and makes my face feel sooo good.  It doesn't wear off, feel caked on under my makeup, and feels very smooth.  I didn't realize it until a few days ago, but it actually has an SPF of 70!  Here is what they sent to me - they sent me not one, but TWO bottles of it and my only obligation is to give 2 honest reviews through their website and have a picture or two of me applying it.

The package says that it layers invisibly under makeup, is a weightless liquid formula and waterproof and provides an even, non-shiny finish.  It works beautifully alone or under makeup and moisturizers.  It has a water-tight texture which spreads easily over skin, and absorbs instantly to an invisible weightless feel.  It is also sweatproof, non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), oil free and PABA free. 

Also, they asked me to let you know that there is a $2 coupon available at http://www.neutrogena.com/suncoupon so that you can try it out for yourself.  And just for the record, I have not been compensated in any way for giving my true and personal opinion on this product.  I really enjoyed receiving this product and trying it out for myself.  I think you would like it just as much and the fact that it has a 70 SPF just blew me away as it will definitely help keep my face from buring while I am in Florida soon. :o)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day my wonderful peeps!
