My Review
I don't wear a lot of jewelry regularly but I do wear rings all the time. Right now I have 5 rings that I wear all the time. I saw the Psiroy line of jewelry and knew that I had to get one and because the price is so low, I didn't mind buying one to ty out for a while and see if it would hold up to everyday wear.
I am happy to say that after having worn this ring every day for over a month, it still looks like new. There's no tarnishing, the gemstones still sparkle vibrantly and the silver isn't rubbing off which I didn't expect to happen since this is a sterling silver ring but you just never know.
I'm very happy with my purchase and since it comes in a nice box it's ready to be wrapped and given as a gift.
As you can see, I like all kinds of different rings. Sterling silver happens to be my favorite but that Black Hills Gold heart ring I wear on my pinky finger is the ring Ken gave to me years ago and it doesn't fit on any other finger. If you like this ring then you would probably like a lot of the rings this company sells and when I bought this ring it only cost me $4.99 and that included shipping. Their rings are gorgeous and so inexpensive I really thought something was going to be wrong with it but it's perfect and they have so many rings to chose from. If you'd like to get this ring, you can find it here.

Review: Alien Betrayed by Marie Dry
Book Description
In a bleak and apocalyptic future, where the Zyrgin Warriors are getting ready to conquer Earth, Marcie is sent to infiltrate the alien stronghold in the Rocky Mountains, only to be betrayed by her own people. Instead of stealing the alien’s technology and accomplishing her mission of causing mayhem and destruction among them, she is captured by Larz, an arrogant alien, who wreaks havoc with her heart when he insists that she will be his woman. Still, he may no longer want her when he discovers her secrets…ones she doesn’t even know she has.
My Review
First off I need to state that I didn't read the first two books in this series, so I felt like I was missing parts of the whole story. Not that it made it bad in any way, just felt like I was missing something or not really knowing some of the characters the way I should have but this story can be read by itself. While this is the first time I've read this author, I doubt it will be the last time.
Larz captures Marcie when she is sent on a mission to stop the aliens. In this book breeders are what the aliens call their wives and Larz decided that he wanted Marcie to be his. But after the deal is sealed and they have sex for the first time, she wakes up only to find she can't remember anything, not even who she is or why she's there.
Larz and the other aliens don't believe that she's got amnesia but she really is a totally different person. Marcie was a cold bitch and I really disliked her but there's more to her than meets the eye. While she's done some awful things, there's a reason and when it's revealed I was shocked. She's had a harder life than anyone knew and it really put things into perspective. She's been betrayed so many times, it's no wonder that she has a hard time trusting Larz at all.
I absolutely loved Larz, and even though Marcie compares him to a giant lizard all the time, he has a heart of gold. His species doesn't show their emotions often and his people kinda reminded me of Klingon's in the way they hold honor above just about everything but his was a great character.
You'd think that aliens coming to take over Earth would be a bad thing but humans have used up the resources and wild animals were darn near extinct because of us. So it was actually a good thing for the aliens to come, conquer and use their closely guarded technology to make Earth whole again, all the while not killing off the human race. I think this was a fabulous story and the ending with so many twists will leave the reader smiling like it did me.
If you'd like to read this one, you can find it here.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
Disclosure: I was given this book free of charge but all opinions are my own.

Freebie Friday!
Welcome to another edition of Freebie Friday, where I tell you what free samples and full sized products I received in the mail and how you can get them too. Someone asked me why I do a 'Freebie Friday" each week, so I'll tell you.
A while back I listed all the free samples and wins that I had received that previous year and so many people didn't believe that I could have gotten so many free things. So I decided to prove it by taking a picture every week and sharing the sites that I found the links to the freebies at. So now you too can get great free samples coming to your mailbox each week.
You can find links to samples like these at Hey It's Free and Freebie Shark.

Review: Target Beauty Box-June
The Target Beauty Box is a subscription box that comes out once a month and you have to be fast because they can sometimes sell out faster than I can even tell anyone about them. Usually within a couple of hours they have sold out and are gone until the next month. This was the June box called Sun Kissed and it was $10 plus tax and free shipping.
I actually think this is one of the better boxes I've gotten from Target. There were 11 items in this box. The list of items in the box were...
Yes to Cucumbers Soothing Facial Wipes 10 Count
L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Volume Filler Moisturizer
CoTZ Face SPF 40 Sunscreen for Face
Laneige Water Bank Serum
Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo
Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Creme Rinse
Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter
S.W. Basics Exfoliant
L’Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation in W3 Nude Beige
e.l.f. Lip Kiss Balm in Bare Kiss
Pixi Mesmerizing Mineral Eye shadow Duo in Apricot Glow
It was quite the haul this month. I really like these boxes because I get to try a few things before I consider buying them. Most of these things I've never heard of or tried so this was nice to be able to try a few new to me items. Were you able to grab this box before they sold out?

Review: Croc and the Fox by Eve Langlais
Book Description
A career military man, Viktor lives for the next mission – and his collection of weapons -- but a raid on an experimental lab makes him an unwilling protector, mostly because he can’t peel Renee off. A cold blooded croc, he never intended to settle down, but he didn’t count on a foxy lady warming his heart. The world outside the laboratory was a big scary place. Frightened, Renee latches onto the biggest, baddest, and sexiest, warrior around. Sharp toothed and with ice in his veins, Viktor’s violent side should have sent her running, but instead, she finds the courage to face her fears –and tame the lizard. Warning: An ornery croc discovers he does have a pulse when a hot to trot fox decides to latch on, and never let go. Tongue in cheek humor, sizzling moments and a tiny, evil villain await.
My Review
I've only read a couple of Eve's book at this point but the more of her books that I read, the more I want to read because not only are they sexy but they are funny as well. When I first started reading this one, I was a bit confused because the heroine, Renee refers to herself as 'Project' so I wasn't sure who or what she was referring to when she said it the first time but it quickly became apparent as I read on. Not only does Renee have a strong will but she's sarcastic and funny as well. Not something that I would have expected from someone who has spent her whole life being a guinea pig for a crazy scientist.
After Viktor and his team rescued the shifters being held captive from the cells, he took Project to FUC Headquarters. When Project heard the name of the place, she had the same thoughts that I did...must be some sort of sexual experimental building but no, FUC stands for Furry United Coalition.
Renee is scared of everything after she is rescued. Good thing she's not scared of her rescuer, the big tough Croc. She latched onto him *literally* and wouldn't let go until she felt safer with her new surroundings. While Viktor isn't used to having a lovely female hanging on him and his buddies and teammates rib him a bit about it, he's a great guy.
While in captivity Renee had all sorts of experiments performed on her and one accident that left her so special it probably saved her life because the crazy doctor that held her captive realized she was special, special enough to keep around. Renee turns out to be even more unique and there's an interesting turn in the story about her that really made me smile.
I had so much fun reading this book. Who knew Croc's were so seductive.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

ORGANIZE - Your thoughts and ideas on your life's journey.
CRUELTY FREE - Made from Faux Leather, so no animals were harmed in manufacturing
IDEAL GIFT - For your friends, family, etc
My Review
I'm a real sucker when it comes to journals because I love having them on my shelves. Even if I don't use them for a while, that's ok because I know that I have a few extras just in case I need one. I really liked the look of this journal because the tree of life is beautifully embossed on the front of it and the brown color of the cover goes with all the wood bookshelves and wood desk and table that I have.
This cover has a closing magnetic claps to keep the cover securely closed. And I have to say that the stitching on the cover looks very profession and nicely done.
The journal is a nice size and I love the fact that it's faux leather so no animals were harmed in the making of this journal.
It comes with a small brown ribbon attached that acts as the bookmark for the journal and the pages are lined. The paper is a nice thick paper so I don't have to worry about the writing bleeding through the other side of the paper.
The first page is blank so you can personalize the journal if you want to. I know someone who used to have stickers that said, "This book belongs to..." and I really like those because they were big enough to look nice. I might see about getting something like that for my journals.
The pages are all lined and the lines are dark enough to see the entire line and they are crisp and straight.
The journal also comes with a little loop on the inside back cover that will hold a pen and is big enough to hold a larger pen or marker like a sharpie. If you'd like to purchase one of these journals for yourself, the price was $19.99 when I got mine and you can find it here.
I give this journal 5 out of 5 stars.

Free Amazon Prime Sample Boxes
A couple of weeks ago a friend on FB posted that Amazon had a few sample boxes available. So I went ahead and ordered 2 of them because they had things in them that I actually wanted and after they ship, Amazon sends you a credit for the full price. The only thing is the credit is towards the purchase of similar items. But that's ok with me.
The first box I bought was the Women's Makeup and Hair care Beauty Box. It was $9.99 + free shipping but they sent me a $9.99 credit that I could use to buy a full size product of one of the samples I was sent. In this box was...
L’Oreal Paris Mascara Carbon Black, L’Oreal Paris Brow Stylist Sculptor 360 Brunette, Mineral Fusion Mascara Graphite, L’Oreal Paris Cushion Foundation Nude Beige, Fekkai Shampoo and Conditioner, Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo and Conditioner, Black 15 in 1 Hair Treatment.
I also ordered the Cookie Sample box for $4.99 + free shipping and received a $4.99 credit towards the purchase of more cookies.
I received the 7 packs of cookies shown and for $4.99, it was a pretty good deal, especially since they give you back the money in credit that you can use towards another cookie purchase.
I received the 7 packs of cookies shown and for $4.99, it was a pretty good deal, especially since they give you back the money in credit that you can use towards another cookie purchase.
This is a pretty good deal if you plan on buying something in the one of these categories in the future and would like to try out a sample box in the meantime. The first time I looked there were 6 different sample boxes available but today when I looked there were only 2 boxes available. The boxes go really fast and sometimes they are restocked and sometimes they aren't. But you can find all the boxes that are available by searching "Sample Boxes" on Amazon. And yes in order to get the free shipping, you have to have Amazon Prime.
When I sent sent the money back that I had spent on those two boxes, I bought this. A tub of cookies and a shampoo and conditioner. Now Amazon made sure that almost everything I was able to buy with the credit was in the Prime Pantry so if I hadn't already had a Prime Pantry shipping credit of $5.99 on my account, it would have cost me more. Very sneaky of them to do that but I'm happy with my purchases and the boxes as a whole.

But Falcor knew there was something there for him and he wasn't leaving until he got it. lol

Product Review: Snack Gift Party Bundle Care Package 50 Count by Food Hot Issue
Product Description
PARTY SNACKS: The party snack Box by Food Hot Issue is a collection of 50 individually wrapped single serve snacks.
This Party Snack Box includes a flavorful snacks that everyone will love.
PERFECT GIFT FOR ANYONE: Ideal care package for military bases, college care package, get-well-soon care package, birthday.
BEAUTIFULLY PACKAGED: Expertly packed with care in our Food Hot Issue gift box, FAST SHIPPING!
My Review
There were 50 single serve snacks in this box and everything was fresh and packaged securely. There was everything from Oreo cookies, Cheez It crackers to Welch's Fruit snacks and Skittles. There was something for everyone and a nice assortment of different snacks in the box.
My only problem with the snacks in this box was some of the snacks were really small, tiny even. And the fact that I had 6 packs of cheese flavored sunflower seeds in my box which was the most of anything and probably the cheapest of all the snack pouches, the price of 30 cents is right on the package. The Haribo gummi bears were mini gummi bears and in the smallest package I've ever seen.
The Twizzler was one single Twizzler which I don't consider that a snack size since it's so small. Now while some of the packages were regular size and everything was fresh and tasted good, it felt a bit of a rip off to have so many tiny packs that counted as 1 of the 50 snacks provided in this box for the price of $19.99
So while I think this would be nice to send to someone as a care pack, I don't see myself buying this again for myself. If you'd like to purchase this, you can find it here.
I give this care package box 3 out of 5 stars.

My daughter and her best friend went hiking in Red Rock here in Las Vegas and found this beautiful little steam surrounded by tree's, huge boulders and plenty of greenery. My daughter said she even spotted some frogs in the stream. Red Rock is a 45 minute drive from where I live and once you get there it's a bit of a hike to find anything like this.

★ Amazing customer service - artists for life, customers for life.
My Review
I own quite a few different style gel pens because I like to use them on my scrapbooks that I make. I also like to make my own greeting cards and so I like to have a good number of colored pens to use for those crafts. I really like that I can use these gel pens and don't have to worry about bleed though on to the papers under them or that the lines will flare out like with permanent markers. The lines are fine and the colors are vibrant. This is a really nice set of gel pens with many colors to choose from. People who are into journaling, scrapbooking, or crafts will like these gel pens. They come in a round plastic canister that keeps them all together. The only problem I had with these was that the color part of the cap on some of them come right off and I found a couple of them on the floor after I used them.
Most of the colored part of the caps are tightly on there but a few of them slip off easily and I didn't notice it until I had put them away. But the gel pens themselves work really well and the colors are great. I know adult coloring books are a big thing right now and I thing these gel pens would be great for that as well. I might even think about getting myself an adult coloring book now that I have this nice set of gel pens. I do a lot of scrapbooking so these pens will come in handy for that. Plus when my grandson comes over, he'll have something else to play with. If you'd like to get a set for yourself, you can find them here.
Disclosure: I was given this product for free in exchange for an honest review.
I give this set of gel pens 5 out of 5 stars.

Product Review: My Therapy Funny Wine Glass 13 oz by Got Me Tipsy
Product Description
Who said therapy has to be expensive? Grab one of our glasses and kick back with 12.75oz of true relaxation.
Let the reviews do the talking. When you take a drink from this wine glass, you'll understand why so many people have given it a 5 out of 5 rating. This 13 oz. stemmed glassware rivals the quality of fine crystal glasses. It's USA made and has a sturdy base and tall stem making it nearly unspillable, unlike other stemless clear plastic cups. The cute saying on the glass is dishwasher safe and will never wear off. Unlike the toy wine glasses that are marketed as huge, big, oversized, ultimate, giant mouth, large, xl, or anything else, this glass is actually usable for drinking alcohol.
Perfect for Any Occasion
One of the best unique gift ideas for both men and women alike, him or her. When they open it, they will think "finally, a wine glass that fits my needs." It's not your typical cheap novelty gag gift. This glass is a fun and humorous addition to personalized custom wine gift baskets that may include other accessories, stoppers, tops, 750 ml whole bottles of red, white or blush wine, or even purse and bra wine flasks! Keep it under $30, 25, 20, or even 15 for White Elephant, Yankee Swap, and Secret Santa gift exchanges. Other customers have bought these for a wedding, anniversary, 21 year old birthday party, housewarming, Christmas present, stocking stuffer, Valentines, Bridal Shower, Mothers day, Fathers day, office stuff joke gifts, kitchen gifts, and more.
For Every Wine Lover
Cool gift for wine enthusiasts. Our customers have bought these for their parents (mom and dad), girlfriend, wife, sister, aunt, grandma, son, daughter, teacher, coworker, boss, client, nurse, in-laws, best friend and bridesmaid (phew...what a list!).
My Review
Even though it's been a while since I had a glass of wine, I still like to have a nice set of wine glasses in the cabinet just in case someone brings a bottle over. And now that I have 2 really cute wine glasses with funny sayings on them, So if family comes over and wants a glass of wine, now I have really nice but cute wine glasses to serve them in.
The wine glass came very fast, was securely wrapped in bubble wrap and placed inside a nice box suitable for using as a gift box. The writing on the glass it on there really good, it's not coming off even when I scratched at it with my fingernail or washed and dried it. The lines are clean, it is made very well and the writing looks very professional. The glass itself is nice and thick and the glass holds 13 oz of liquid. It's a nice size wine glass.
Who doesn't need a little wine therapy now and again. This would make a great gift for just about anyone who likes wine or has a sense of humor. If you'd like to purchase this product you can find it here.

I give this product 5 out of 5 stars.

Product Review: Leather Desk Organizer, Oak Leaf 6 Compartment with Drawer
Product Description
PU Leather material with internal hard MDF, waterproof and moisture proof, sturdy and durable. Brown body with white lining, aesthetically pleasing.
Size is 11.5x5.5x5.5 inches, 6 divided compartments to organize your pen/pencils, remote control, mobile phone, business cards and other office/home supplies.
Say goodbye to your messy desk, best choice for home and office, providing you a tidy and pleasant environment.
My Review
I really needed something like this for the table I use as my desk. I have the phone, a lamp and my laptop on the table and so all the pens, glasses, knife, paper ect..just got put where ever and it was messy. But with this desk organizer, all the the stuff I had on the table fits nicely into the compartments and it's much nicer and less messy.
The desk organizer is put together very nicely and is very sturdy. The sides and different compartments are stiff and not flimsy or floppy at all. It's stylish and would go well with a lot of different decors. The drawer is a nice size and would easily hold a wallet plus more. It slides easily in and out and pulls out all the way for easy cleaning and just in case something gets stuck behind it.
Since it comes packaged in a nice box, it's ready to be wrapped and given as a gift. If you'd like you get one for yourself, you can find it here.
I give this a 5 out of 5 stars.

Review: Twice The Growl by Milly Taiden
Book Blurb
Talia Barca needs a date. Badly. She uses the services of the Paranormal Dating Agency hoping for a decent guy to take to a family wedding. A wedding her ex-husband has wormed his way into as a guest.
Connor and Theron want Tally to complete their Alpha triad. She's sexy, curvy and funny. But she's human. And they're not sure she'll go for a relationship with two men at the same time.
As if deciding to give two men a shot wasn’t difficult enough, Tally will also need to deal with a threat from the pack. She'll either prove she's strong enough to be an Alpha mate or find herself at the mercy of a vicious opponent.
Reader Warning: This book contains lots of scorching sex (including a threesome so hot it will make your ereader sizzle), adult language (hanky panky with no dirty talk is no fun), and violence. If this is not the kind of stuff you like to read, skip this book. However, if you like dirty, raunchy sex with some sarcasm and two hot men on one curvy girl, then this is right up your alley. Enjoy!
My Review
My friends over at Rabid Reads reviewed this book a couple months back and ever since reading the review I've had this in my tbr pile. It's just taken men a while to get to it but I'm glad I did because I had fun with this one. I think I might have read one of this authors books a while back but it's been a while and I've been seeing great things about this series and this book so I figured why not, I'll give it a try.
Gerri Wilder runs the Paranormal Dating Agency, she picks dates for her clients and so far they're pretty happy with who she's paired people up with. She's a shape shifter and seems to have a sense of who will pair up great with one another.
Talia is going to a wedding and since her ex husband will be there she doesn't want to go alone. Her ex is a bit of an ass, ok not just a bit of one, he's a huge ass and it's no wonder he's her ex now. Man, I really hated that guy. Talia has had a rough time and she's a bit broken inside and doesn't think much of herself. She's not looking for a commitment, just a date to the wedding. She ends up getting much more than she asked for.
Theron and Connor are the alpha and omega for their Wildwoods pack and they've grown up knowing exactly who and what they would be. They share everything, even women and now they are looking for a mate to share. So they go ask the one person they know might be able to help them with that. Gerri is Theron's aunt and she has the perfect woman for them, they just don't know it yet.
Theron and Connor and their mate will form a triad as soon as they find a woman they and their beasts accept as their mate, but they haven't found that woman yet and they didn't think they would find her as a human female. The guys and their beats really like Talia but not everyone is ready to let this little seduction take place. There's a bit of drama as the guys try to make her see things their way but this book is mostly about sex and seduction, not that there's anything wrong with that.
I really liked their first meeting, they all took the elevator together and I don't think I'd mind being stuffed together in a small elevator with two gorgeous men, nope not at all.
This was a novella length book and I like that for a first book in a series so I can get a little of the story before I dive headfirst into a series of books. There are a lot of the books already published in this one so I'm a little late getting to the party but I like what I've read so far, so I'll definitely be reading more from this series now.
If you'd like to get this for yourself, you can find it here.
I give this book 4 stars.

Review: Univeral Yums Subscription Box
Universal Yums is a monthly subscription box that sends you snacks from all over the world. A different place each month. This is my second month and this is the April 2016 box. (I write my posts about a month ahead of time so that's why this is posted this month. I always have about 30-40 blog posts scheduled at any time)
There are two box sizes to choose from. The 6 or more snacks or 12 or more snacks. I chose the 6 or more snacks box. For my box size, it's $13.00 a month. And they sent quite a bit in my box. The other box costs $25.00 a month.
So I was sent 10 snacks in my box. Candies, cookies, chips and a candied plum. This months box is from Poland. It was interesting to try the different snacks because I've never had any of these things. I'm going to share with you a few of the more interesting things I found and my favorites. This was one of the candies. It had a hard candy shell and a peanut butter like substance in the middle. It was really good.
The flyer that came with the box said this was called a lobster tail because of the red stripe on the candy. I really liked it.
But this was my favorite. It was thin cookie wafers with a thin chocolate and coffee flavored filling. I especially loved this because of the strong coffee flavor it had. It was my favorite thing.
And then there were these chocolate gingerbread cookies. The cookie itself was soft so not like one of our gingerbread cookies but it was so good.
My husband loved the candied plum and he popped that in his mouth and ate it before I could even snap a picture of it. LOL My husband is part Polish so I thought it was fun to have some snacks from Poland to share with him, even though he didn't like the cookies at all.
All in all, this was a great month and I loved this box. I love that this box lets me try snacks from a different place each month.
