ISA Professional Hair Straightener

   I bought this for my 14 year old daughter that has super 

textured hair that isn't quite curly but isn't anywhere near 

straight. When she uses our old straightener, her hair gets

straight but not smooth and slick like it should. When she

used the ISA straightener for the first time we knew it was 

definitely something that she would be using from now on. 

Her hair became smoother than we've ever seen it!!! It is 

amazing! She loves doing her hair now because even when 

it is super humid here, which it is most of the time, her hair 

stays frizz free! Go take a look at it here.

Uniqhia No Tie Shoelaces for

 Kids and Adults

   Moms eveywhere should know about the best solution to untied shoelaces since velcro! These stretchy silicone no tie laces fit adult and kid shoes and they look just like nylon laces. You never have to worry about having to unknot and retie nasty laces that your kidshave drug through every mud puddle within a mile and they wipe clean. I have already ordered three more pairs, two more for my son and one for myself :)  I highly recommend them and you can find them here on Amazon. 

Your Wish is Granted

   Wow! I wished for a great Summer read and POOF, along came Granted by Michelle Merrill...wish granted! And now I can't wait for the sequel!

   I truly enjoyed getting to know the genie girl, Brielle, and seeing her struggle to get her long awaited first assignment, Addie, to make a wish so she can get her magic. To make matters worse, genies are dying! The only way to kill a genie is to break their lamp and someone has found out that killing a genie gives you their powers. This book takes you into the genie world and all the struggles young genies encounter and poor Brielle really gets the short end of the stick with her first assignment.

   

   This was a page turner that I found myself reading every spare minute I had until I found out if and/or how Brielle gets her magic, who is killing her people and if she can stop them. Even though this book is geared toward the 'young adult' crowd, I absolutely loved the story and characters and I am 33 years old! Truly a great Summer read! To check it out click here. 

Found: Holy Grail of Cleaning Products

    I have never tried any kind of castile soap on the past but this stuff is AMAZING! I have already used it to make hand soap, shampoo, floor cleaner, makeup brush cleaner and even toothpaste! I am going to make laundry detergent today...and yes, I can make all of these things multiple times with this one bottle because a little goes a LONG way.

   This castile soap has only certified organic, vegan ingredients. They left out the bad stuff, so there's no detergents,no chemicals, and no animal products - only pure, fully biodegradable plant oils transformed into soap. It is made from hemp, argan, jojoba, and olive oil, all of which are full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and omega fatty acids. So basically it is excellent for your skin and hair as well as a surprisingly great cleaner. 

   I am beyond pleased with Cove Castile soap. They offer it in unscented and lavender scented. I got the unscented kind so I could add my own essential oils and make it smell like I want. I really would recommend this soap to anyone. Most products have a certain target group of people but this can be used by women and men at any age. So if you want to try it out you can click here and get some for yourself.

Spritz'n Wipe Toilet Paper Moistener

  I realize that anything regarding our habits in the bathroom are usually taboo and considered gross but all of us go and like to feel clean after going. That being said, I have found an excellent new product!

 Ever since having kids, my family and I have always used some type of wet wipe of some sort when going to the restroom. At first we started with regular baby wipes but they clogged the toilet...regularly. So I switched us to the flushable wipes that are usually right there next to the toilet paper in the store. Those wipes have been ok but they are super thin and you need to layer them to keep from breaking through while wiping. Then I found the Spritz'n Wipe Toilet Paper Moistener and it has changed our potty breaks for life!

 The Spritz'n Wipe system is awesome. You simply roll out your normal amount of paper, place it under the spout and out comes the moistener. It works just like a wipe and we haven't had any issues with the paper crumbling or leaving those nasty little paper balls on our behinds. This stuff has already saved us tons of money and all we have to buy now is the refill for the base. You can find out more at https://www.giveawayservice.com/p/e2a0n5u3/o8g4a7i2j2  I was lucky enough to try this product at a reduced price in exchange for my review from Giveaway Service website. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

So We Said Goodbye

by  Rama Marinov-Cohen

This book really brings up the questions Can you love two people at once? Where does love go when the relationship is over? Does it just disappear or will it continue on in the hearts and minds of our first love? And the biggest question of all, When you get married and move on with your life, what happens when your first love comes back in the picture after almost three decades apart?

Almost everyone has that 'first love', the love that still creeps its way into our dreams, even if both of you are married and have children with another and this book shows us what might happen if that first love comes back into our lives and completely shakes up our marriages and our lives.

This book is told in first person through each of the parties, the two that shared a love 30 years ago and their spouses. It truly makes you see the heartbreak that spouses experience when their partner is having an emotional affair. This book is very well written and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each of these characters. The ending is a bit bittersweet but I still loved reading it. 

If you would like to get this book, click here. It is a really good Summer read and I definitely recommend it!
