Freebie Friday!

 

Welcome to another weekly Freebie Friday post, 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 great samples at Hey It's Free and Freebie Shark.

This week I received:

Lip color samples. 

A perfume sample. 

The lip color samples are not my colors. But I love that perfume. It smells so good. Kinda like flowers. 

Did you receive any freebies this week?

Favorite Picture of the Week!

 

This week I have some dark clouds and crazy cloud formations. It barely sprinkled from all these dark clouds and I was surprised. I was hoping for some rain.

The cloud formation just looked interesting to me. 

Everyone Has A Story, Here's One of Mine

 

I've been thinking of writing an autobiography or memoir but it just never comes together for me but I figured if I write one story at a time and post it on my blog maybe once a month, I can do that. Maybe one day I'll pull all the stories together and put them in a book but for now I'll just share some stories with you about my childhood. Some of the stories will be happy, some sad and some horrific because that was my childhood. But they will all be real, things that actually happened. If it seems like something that people enjoy reading maybe I'll keep it going. These stories will not be in any kind of order, I'll just write them as they come to me. 

Our House In Enumclaw, Washington 1977

 I'm gonna tell you a true story about this house we lived in for a year in Washington State and why it still gives me the creeps. 

Back in 1977 when I was 7 years old we moved into a huge house in Washington State. We moved there because my mom had a bunch of family there and she wanted to spend some time with them. We still had our house back in California and my parents planned on moving back after a while. I loved the house we moved into because it had so many rooms and places to play hide and seek with my brother. One day my brother and I were playing in the huge basement where the washer and dryer was and noticed a door in the back of the basement. It was locked but it had one of those big keyholes below the door knob and we were able to look into the room. We saw hospital beds with bloody sheets, medical cabinets with medical instruments and old medicine bottles in that room. 

We ran upstairs to tell our parents but at first they didn't believe us. So my mom came down and had a look through the keyhole and ran back upstairs to get my dad who was able to get the door open easily. We all went into the room and my dad was shocked, my mom was scared and then they saw the long, dark tunnel that led from that room to somewhere. There were light switches on the wall and my mom turned it on and that long tunnel lit up with dim lights. 

They turned the lights off and ushered us out of the room, shut the door and made us go upstairs. My dad called the owner of the house who we were renting from and was yelling at him.  I later found out that the house we were renting used to be the mortuary and funeral home for the old folks home that was right behind us a little ways down the street. The tunnel led back to the basement of the old folks home and when one of the residents passed away they used the tunnel to transport the body over to the funeral home (my house). 

To make matters worse, the house had a caretaker that had keys and he would come and go especially from the basement where the lawn care stuff was kept. The basement had a door that led outside and he would come in and out through there. My mom would be heading down to the basement where the washer and dryer was to do laundry not expecting anyone to be there and he would be down there. The first few times he scared her and my dad almost beat the hell out of him when he heard my mom screaming. But he quickly told them who he was. Dude was lucky, because my dad was not a nice guy.

The owner never did clean up that room and my brother and I used to go peek inside the room through the keyhole all the time until we moved back to California. 

My brother keeps telling me that I should write a book about our lives. Instead I'll just share these crazy stories.

Book Review: Kingdom of Blood (Complete Series 1-3) by Callie Rose

 

Book Description

I’ve dedicated my life to slaying vampires. Now I’m about to offer up my blood.

When my brother gets into some serious trouble with the Vampire Clan of Baltimore, there’s only one thing I can do to save his ass.

I decide to offer myself up as a blood tribute, infiltrate their underground palace, and find a way to get him out. But playing the part of a simpering blood bag is harder than I expected, especially when my first impulse is to put a stake through the heart of every vamp I meet. To make matters worse, I’ve somehow caught the eye of three dangerous vampire men:

Bastian, an ancient prince with features as cold as ice and eyes that burn like fire. Rome, a darkly sexy rebel who just returned from a hundred-year banishment. And Connor, a newly turned vampire whose lopsided grin is so devastatingly human that I almost forget he’s the enemy.

Even though I want to hate them all, they keep getting under my skin in ways I can’t explain. But if I let myself lose focus for even a second, it won’t just be me who pays for it. My brother will suffer too. I’ve danced with the devil plenty of times…

But this time, the dance might kill me.

The Kingdom of Blood series is a paranormal vampire romance. The heroine is tough but flawed and the three (anti)heroes are sexy and dangerous.

Books in this set:

Blood Debt

Dark Legacy

Vampire Wars

My Review

Mikka's brother, Nathan owes bad people a lot of money. So in order to pay them back and get out of their reach, he decides to offer himself up as tribute to the vampires. Meaning, he just signed a contract to became a blood bag and stay at their palace for the terms of the contact. Mikka finds out about this and is out of her mind, not only worried but angry beyond belief because she's a vampire hunter. Ever since her parents had been killed by vampires when she was younger she's hated them all and is determined to save her brother.

Mikka's plan is to go in under cover and offer herself up as tribute to the vampires, get her brother out and go on with her life. But things are a lot different than she thought they would be once she gets there and sees how things work and realizes her brother is in real trouble. While a few of the vampires treat their tributes gently and civilizes, there are others who don't see humans as more than food and aren't gentle about feeding, not caring whether they survive at all. 

Mikka is seeing all of this and has caught the eyes of three different vampires, one being the Prince who should be in charge but really isn't as he defers to the elders instead. I really liked that we got a crash course in vampire hierarchy as well as vampire politics. While I liked the trilogy, I really think that these three books could have been cut down to two books because some parts were really boring and it felt like there was a lot of filler added that didn't need to be there and that slowed down the flow of the story for me. 

I had the complete three book series already and I would strongly suggest buying the complete series if you start this series because the first book ends in a place that really would have made me mad enough not to get or read the second book if I hadn't already had it. The first book starts slow and even though I had a hard time with the flow of the story in the first book I went ahead and kept reading. Things do pick up in the second book and the story does get better but it wasn't until the third and last book that I really started enjoying this series. The ending was great and I really liked how Mikka, Rome, Bastian and Connor all ended up together. 

The twist that happens to usurp Bastian's throne and throws them all together was one of the highlights of this story and really got me more invested in reading this to see what would happen next. So while I had some problems with this series, it was well worth the read. 

I give this series as a whole, 3 out of 5 stars.

Apartment Life #351

 

This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 25 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 25 years here in a weekly blog post. 

The police were on my street at the end of my apartment complex. There had been three police cars out there but one left before I got a picture of it. It looked like they were just there talking. I have been seeing more of a police presence around here ever since the shooting right before New Year's Day. 

----

On Tuesday morning my daughter's ex boyfriend who lives on the same block as we do, was attacked by the same dog I told you about last week. The same dog who attacked my next door neighbor's dog and then ran off, ran into the ex boyfriend's apartment and attacked him. For no reason. The dog is vicious. The ex had to go to the ER because his hand got mauled and he needed a bunch of stitches. He also has nerve damage to his thumb and needs to see a hand specialist for that. 

The ex is mad because Animal Control came out and sat on the street waiting to see if they could spot the dog because no one knows where this dog lives. So they couldn't do anything until someone figures out where the dog lives. It must be somewhere on this street so we are all keeping an eye out for it to find out where it lives so the people who have been attacked can press charges against the owner for letting the dog run free and Animal Control can do whatever it is they will do. The dog needs to be taken away at the very least and in my opinion put down. I hate to say that but unprovoked attacks are not something I'm ok with. 

I've been carrying my knife along with my tazer on walks because the ex said that he was punching the dog to get it to stop biting him and it was completely unfazed by the punches and kept biting. This guy is big and he said he was really trying to get the dog off him. If a big, strong man can't get a dog off then I have no chance at all. So I'm carrying my knife just in case the tazer doesn't make a dog stop attacking. You just never know. Now I have to worry about this. 

---

On Friday while I was walking Falcor I saw one of the druggies sitting near the bushes doing drugs. I ignored him as I always do but this other guy that was walking by went over to him and started cussing him out, telling him not to be doing that around here that he had nephews and there were other small kids around here that didn't need to be seeing that. The guy got up and left. 

Then the man who made the druggie leave said he was sorry I had to see that. He said, despite what he looked like, he's not down for that sort of thing and if I see him f*cking someone up around here, it will be because they are out in the open doing drugs where little kids can see them. I thanked him for running the guy off and went home. I see him most mornings now and we always say hi to each other. It was nice to meet another normal person in this neighborhood. 

The high this week was 59F/15C

The low this week was 32F/0C

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.

My Review

Gwynn is tricked into going to the mountains with her dad by her dad. Once there she finds her dad ready to sell her to some guys for a debt that he has. But Aaron, a wolf shifter is watching the entire thing go down and he doesn't like any of it. He's trying to bring down the wolf pack that Gwynn has just been given to so they think he's on their side when they ask him to keep her for a while. 

Gwynn thinks that she found a safe place to be with Aaron after she ran away from the guys her dad gave her to. She wasn't dressed for Winter weather in the mountains so when Aaron took her half frozen self back to his cabin to warm up and to escape the bad guys, she takes him up on the offer. 

They get along really good and Aaron falls for her so fast, knowing that she's human and he can't be with her because of the trouble he's mixed up in and what he's given up in order to bring the bad guys down. Everything is going well until she finds out the truth and they find themselves in danger and he has to ask for help from the people he left. 

I really liked Aaron and Gwynn, they make for a really good couple. I really liked the wolf shifter history lesson that we got with this story. This was a fun read. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Book Review: Recovery Road by Christine Feehan

 

Book Description

A broken man finds a woman worth living for in the new novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan’s Torpedo Ink motorcycle club series.

Kir “Master” Vasiliev doesn’t care whether he lives or dies. He’s a burnt-out shell with no one and nothing but his club. Whatever Torpedo Ink needs, Master will put himself in harm’s way time after time. If he doesn’t make it back, he’s certain everyone will move on just fine.

 

Investment banker Ambrielle Moore knows her own mind, and she’s not willing to settle for anyone. So when a second-rate gangster and his thugs try to coerce her into marriage—and giving up all of her family’s money—she’s having none of it. Until they turn to cold-blooded murder. 

 

Grieving and enraged, Ambrie is ready to go scorched earth on her captors when Master shows up anticipating a damsel in distress. But Ambrie is nothing like he expected, and everything he never knew he desired....

My Review

Kir "Master" is a member of Torpedo Ink and is feeling burnt out after his last prison assignment. He doesn't want to go undercover back in prison again but he doesn't think the other members of his team will listen to him so he's feeling really done. 

Ambrielle "Ambrie" was held hostage and her parents were killed right in front of her. Now she's being forced to marry a mobster against her will for her money. She's sure that once her soon to be husband marries her and gets his hands on her money that he'll kill her. 

When Master and the rest of Torpedo Ink find out about what's going on with her, they decide to step in and save her. But in order to keep her from being kidnapped and forced to marry the mobster again, they tell her that she should marry Master so she's already married to someone and they'll be able to keep her safe. 

Master let's her know that she doesn't have to marry him but if she does, they'll be no divorce because he and his crew marry for life. He thinks she's too good for him and wants one of the other guys to marry her but she agrees to marry him because she kind of feels safe around him and when she gets to know him she can see that he's not a bad guy. She gets to see that the other guys in Torpedo Ink are very nice to her and so are their wives even though the guys are a bit rough around the edges. She starts to see that things aren't always as they appear to be and that she can trust them all. So when they go after  the people who killed her parents there's a lot more going on there than they first suspected. And then their leader and his family are targeted by someone and they have no idea who it is or why they are being targeted. They have to figure that out as well as go after the people that killed Ambrielle's parents. 

I love how they all work together really well, even the wives get in on the action. The pranks that are going on between Savage and the sheriff are hilarious and we get to see a completely different side of Savage. It was nice that this book was mostly Master and Ambrielle getting to know one another and there was no BDSM in this book unlike in some of the previous books. This was just a sweet romance between Master and Ambrielle although there is a lot of talk about how well endowed Master is. 

All of the Torpedo Ink members have horrible pasts and childhoods. We get to hear what happened to some of them but there wasn't as much graphic details as in the previous books. For this reason and to get to know these characters better, I think it's a good idea to read this series in order. 

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. 

Disclosure: I received this book for free via NetGalley but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Book Review: Holiday Rescue by Rebecca Zanetti

 

Book Description

An Albertini Family Romance Novella!

Danger Blows in for the Holidays

Quint Albertini likes his life as a smokejumper and search and rescue expert. He has his dog, his friends, and his freedom. He’s had it with women who can’t commit or who want him to change, and now all he has to do is dodge the family match-makers so he can live his peaceful life when he’s not leaping head first into danger.

When Heather Davis gets trapped on a mountain during a wild winter storm, her carefully laid plans of safety and security go right out the snow filled window. Her saviors, dog and man, quickly capture her heart, even though she’s trying to remain under the radar from a disastrous past that seems to keep coming for her.

While Quint and Heather try to ignore the blazing hot attraction between them, the Albertini family has no intention of letting a possible romance fizzle out—especially during the magical holiday season.

My Review

Heather is stuck on a mountain after going up there to scatter a relatives ashes. But she hurt her ankle and can't get back down without help. In comes Quint, a search and rescue expert and a smokejumper. Heather finds Quint entirely too hot and things get even hotter when she has to be strapped into his coat so she can hang on to the back of him and he gets down the mountain. I found that entire scene hilarious. I can't even imagine having to be that close to some incredibly hot guy in a situation like that. So this starts off really good as you can tell. 

Quint finds Heather incredibly cute and takes her home from the hospital since she can't walk very well on her crutches. Since they are in a small town, Quint's grandmother ends up in Heather's hospital room to bring her cookies and find out if she's single. I love his family, they are hilarious. Then Quint's other family members show up to help Heather unpack at her house and they don't take no for an answer. All the while his family are working behind the scenes to get these two together. There's just one or two problems. Heather has a stalker and he won't leave her alone. But he's not the only person trying to get between these two and the danger quickly ratchets up in a bad way. But Quint and his family, even his grandmother help out to stop the danger before anything really bad can happen. It was quite the twist to see who all was trying to throw a monkey wrench in their budding relationship. 

This was such a fun book. 

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Apartment Life #350

 

This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 25 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 25 years here in a weekly blog post. 

I heard a bunch of voices arguing and shouting and the next thing I knew the fire department was here. It's a bad picture because it was at night and the fire engine had all of his lights on so it made the picture really glare. But you can kind of make out the front of the fire engine. The fire fighters went to the apartment 2 doors away from mine and the woman that lives there was taken out in a stretcher. 

Those bright lights were the ambulance.

I tried to get a better picture of it with my Kindle but it wasn't much better. I can't take night time pictures with my phone, they just don't come out very good but you can kind of make out the back of the ambulance with the door open in the back in this picture. The lady was taken to the hospital but even though I at first thought it was a domestic disturbance I am probably wrong since the police never showed up. I don't know if the shouting was because she got hurt or had a medical problem but that seems more likely. 

----

Our power went out for a few minutes when the electrical crews were working on the electrical lines. 

----

One day I will get a better camera but for now this will have to do. lol I was walking Falcor Monday morning and heard the police helicopter flying around. I looked and they were over my apartment complex. You might be able to see the little black speck in the sky, that's the police helicopter. The police never showed up so I have no idea why they were flying around. And yes, that's me talking.

---

On Friday I watched UPS pull up across the street and start unloading at least 8 big boxes and 2 smaller Amazon boxes and stack them near the street next to the laundry room. That is not an apartment door that is the door to the laundry room. 

I watched several people walk by looking at the boxes. 2 different pick up trucks pulled over and stopped right in front of the boxes for a few minutes but no one got out. 

Then I watched this guy walk by a couple of times and glance at the boxes. If they were his wouldn't he have known they would be sitting out there? Wouldn't he know that he was expecting a bunch of boxes and just right up to the pile? He didn't, he was walking by and turn around and walk by glancing around. lol Then he went into his apartment that is downstairs in that building and got a small dolly and started loading up the boxes. 

He stood there a few minutes not even looking to see if his name were on them and started loading them up. 

Then he pushed them over to his apartment. I mean, he's in a downstairs apartment. If these were his boxes wouldn't he have requested UPS leave them by his door? I hope these were his boxes. For a minute there I was telling my daughter I thought it could be a sting operation where the police leave a bunch of boxes outside and see who comes to steal them so they can tackle and arrest a bunch of thieves. That would have been exciting. LOL

The high this week was 57F/13C

The low this week was 34F/1C

And it's been raining most of the week.

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.

Low Carb Muffin Mix Review: Simple Mills Banana Muffin & Bread, Chocolate Muffin & Cake, Pumpkin Muffin & Bread

 

I found this variety pack of almond flour muffins on Amazon for $25.89 and since I had never had anything made with almond flour before, I figured I would try this before buying almond flour and everything else I would need to make these kinds of muffins myself. I know the price is kinda high but I was curious if they would be worth it. 

I made the pumpkin muffins first and even though the box says it makes 12, it only made 9 muffins for me. And you can see that they are kinda small muffins at that. I will say that they were good. They are moist, soft and smelled great. But they didn't taste like pumpkin at all, they do however taste like pumpkin spice. This is not to say that they tasted bad because they were actually really good. My grandson loved them too and they are low carb which is good for me. 

Each muffin is 90 calories and 14 grams of carbs.

Next I made the Banana muffins and again, they are soft, moist and tasted great. They don't taste exactly like a banana bread would but it was close. This box of mix made 12 muffins. I loved them and would definitely make these again. 

Each muffin is 90 calories and 14 grams of carbs. 

The chocolate muffins were definitely the best ones of the three. The box of mix made 12 muffins. They have a nice chocolate taste to them and again they are so soft and moist. They were sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth and my daughter liked these while she didn't like the other two. I would definitely make these again. The chocolate muffins were the ones that were the most crumbly too. 

Each muffin is 110 calories and 14 grams of carbs. 

If you buy any of these, the directions say to use paper liners in your muffin tins and I highly recommend that as these stuck to my non stick muffin tins even when I used a cooking spray or a thin coating of oil and flour. The paper liners worked the best. Wait for them to cool completely before trying to pull the paper liners off and they won't stick as much. 

Would you try these? Have you tried anything made with almond flour?

Favorite Picture of the Week

 

Las Vegas sunset. The sky was so pink, I thought it was pretty. 

Enjoy your week.

Book Review: Forked Tongues Are Fun by Holly Ryan

 

Book Description

They miscalculated when they took expert thief Yara Parmstone’s little brother, though. Now, Yara is out for revenge—after she finds the final key that will allow her to save him.

But the three scorching hot, mysterious men who hold that key have a message for Yara—the dragon goddess has something important in store for her.

Too bad it’s not as fun as a forked dragon tongue.

Soon, Yara’s racing against time to steal back her brother before his fate—and hers—are sealed.

Don't miss this scorching hot reverse harem series! Scroll up and one-click this book now for some serious heat!

My Review

Yara's little brother was kidnapped by dragon shifters and they are planning on sacrificing him to their goddess soon along with other children. Yara hates the dragon shifters and she has every right to, they do things like this and have very little regard for humans. So she's been sent to a certain address to find something that will let her save her brother but she has to steal something in order to save him which will not be easy. 

Yara shows up on the doorstep of a house that has three dragon shifters living in it and she has to steal something from them but she has something that will help her. Too bad for her that same substance that was supposed to help her, got on her skin and has turned her into a sex-starved woman willing to sleep with the very dragon shifters she hates. But these three guys are not as bad as she thought they would be. In fact they are nice and keeps telling her that she might be their next queen. They are even willing to help her save her brother but before they can go anywhere the guys are kidnapped and she's left for dead. Good thing she's made of stronger stuff some of the dragon shifters think she is. So when she shows up and rescues her three dragon shifters, the other dragon shifters are shocked to find that the goddess they worship has appointed a human as their next queen. All kinds of chaos ensues after that but I really liked this story. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Apartment Life #349

 

This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 25 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 25 years here in a weekly blog post. 

Just as the sun was setting I heard the police siren/horn on my street and sure enough there was police across the street. I watched for a while and saw two police officers bring a guy out in handcuffs. They talked with him for a while and then put him in the back of the police car and took him to jail. 

There's some new people that have moved into the apartments across the street so I didn't recognize the guy. 

---

On Wednesday right as the sun was setting this guy in red came up to my daughter as she was coming home from the store across the street and started asking her if she had bought a bottle of liquor or if she knew where he could buy some weed, white stuff or pipe (drugs essentially). Then he told her he was a nice guy and he started walking through our courtyard. We had our inner door open with the metal security door locked and he stopped at my door and tried asking my daughter more questions. She said get away from my door and when he wouldn't she slammed the door in his face so he moved on 2 doors down. 

My daughter looked outside and saw the mother of the kids across from us had made her kids come inside and this drunk or high guy was peeking into one of the apartments 2 doors away from me. So my daughter told him if he didn't know anyone in this courtyard he needed to leave or she was going to call the cops on him because he was peeking into apartments. My daughter turned on the security camera and filmed him walking by but he fell into the rocks outside my door and had a hell of a time getting up and walking by. Dude was so drunk or high he was having a hard time walking.

My next door neighbor who my daughter and I are friends with had a package stolen and his security camera didn't catch who did it. So he set up a decoy package to see who would try and take it and caught a woman who frequents drug dealers apartment trying to take his empty package. He confronted drug dealer and they argued, of course he said he didn't even know the woman, even though she's down there all the time. 

Then an off leash dog attacked the neighbors dog while he was walking his big dog. Thankfully his dog is fine because my neighbor grabbed the dog by the harness until the owner came and got him. The owner who was mad at my neighbor for some reason that made no sense. I'm keeping my tazer charged just in case because that dog was big enough to kill a small dog.

The high this week was 61F/16C

The low this week was 38F/3C

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
