My Review
I had a brand new brush set but decided to give it to my daughter because she said hers was falling apart. So I needed another brush set and was lucky enough to get this one at a discount. It has all the make up brushes that I need and they came in this nice red pouch to store them in.
The brushes work really well and I like that they are very soft. Any make up that I've used with these brushes went on smooth and was easy to apply. The brushes pick the eye shadow and blush up very easily and release the color where you want it to go. Some brushes will hold on to the color until you have a lot on the brush which is a waste but these brushes work very well. I haven't had any problems with this set unlike some of the other brushes I've gotten over time these bristles aren't falling out when I use the brushes and I really appreciate that.
The handles are light so they are easy to use and handle and they seem to be sturdy so I expect them to last a good long time. If you'd like to get this you can find it here.
Disclosure: I was given this brush set at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

Count to 10 with a Mouse by Margaret Wise Brown
A few months ago I read a great review on Caffeinated Book Reviewer's blog about this cute book and stuffed mouse toy. I knew as soon as I saw it that I was going to get this for my grandson. So I bought it for him for his birthday at the end of this month when he turns 3 years old.
If you've been visiting my blog for long you know that I love rodents, all rodents. I've bought him books before but the fact that this one came with a really cute stuffed mouse, really sealed the deal for me. I've bought him stuffed hamsters for Easter and I found a few other stuffed animals but this is the first mouse I've seen that I actually liked and since it came with a book, that's definitely a plus.
So if you're looking for a cute present for a child in your life, this would make a great gift.
I found mine on Amazon.

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.

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.

Recipe: Mary's Seafood Salad
Ken and I bought a small package of seafood salad from the deli in the grocery store a while back and it tasted like it had been made with Miracle Whip which I detest. So after picking through what we had bought and seeing the different ingredients, I decided that I could probably just make some myself and make it better, which I did.
You will need:
1 package (12 ounces) Imitation Crab Meat
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
3 green onions-diced
3 stalks of celery-diced
What To Do:
Shred or slice the imitation crab meat into very thin strips. I also cut some of the crab meat into small cubes for contrasting consistencies. Add the mayo, shredded imitation crab, diced green onions and diced celery. Mix well and refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.
This is what it looked like after I mixed it all together. It was really good. Much better than the stuff at the grocery store deli.

Review: Seventh Generation Wipes and Laundry Soap
Product Description
This Plant-based formula is tough on stains without fragrances, dyes or artificial brighteners. Get a clean you can trust that is made for sensitive skin.
My review
I really like that this laundry detergent doesn't have any harsh scents to it and when I was washing the cotton baby blankets to use in my rats cages it didn't make my rats sneeze. That's because there's no dye's and no harsh scents to this which is great for baby clothes and blankets as well as for people who are sensitive to things like that.
Product Description
Free & Clear Baby Wipes work gently with plant-derived ingredients.
Free of alcohol, fragrances & dyes
Free of parabens and phthalates
Hypoallergenic
Thick, strong and generously-sized
My Review
I use baby wipes during the summers here in Las Vegas when it can get over 114F, just to freshen up or to cool down. But I also have a 3 year old grandson and I like to have baby wipes handy for the times he comes over because kids are messy and a strong, wet wipe that's strong but soft on their skin is a nicer way to clean them up than using a damp paper towel that can sometimes be scratchy to their delicate skin. These wipes are great to have around, exactly what I'm looking for.
Disclosure: I was sent a free sample of both products in exchange for my honest review.

Garnier SkinActive Party Box
I was lucky enough to be picked for the Garnier SkinActive Party from Crowdtap and they sent me a big box of products to share with the party goers.
Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Daily Moisturizer
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water- makeup remover
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water- Removes waterproof makeup
cotton pads for removing makeup
A $10 Visa card
Overall I was happy with the Moisturizer because it left my face feeling soft and moisturized. It's not overly oily and it lasted for a long time. But it is a little thick and made my skin feel sticky after a while. I like that this has a spf 15 in it because it's easier to find and use a daily moisturizer with an spf already in it than it is to apply 2 different products. Overall it's a nice moisturizer but I've tried others that were better so I probably won't be purchasing this after the bottle is gone.
I give this 3 out of 5 stars
The Micellar Cleansing Water (pink Bottle) was my favorite of the two cleansing waters. It isn't overly oily and smells good. It does take a bit more to remove makeup than if I had used a wipe or Cold Cream. I can usually get my makeup off in just a few wipes if I use Cold Cream but this took several swipes and left my eyes stinging a little bit.
I give this 4 out of 5 stars
My least favorite Micellar Cleansing Water by far was the one in the blue bottle. It's oily and took a lot of effort to get my waterproof mascara off. It stung my eyes and left my face feeling so oily that I had to use a cleanser to wash my face afterwards. So I cannot recommend the Micellar Cleansing Water (blue Bottle) because it just didn't work well for me.
I give this 3 out of 5 stars
Disclosure: I was give free products in exchange for honest reviews and hosting a party to share the products.

Review: The Harvest: A Tah'Narian Christmas By M.A. Church
Book Blurb
So what’s an alien to do when his mate refuses to say what’s bothering him? Why, he sends a deep space message to his mate’s mother on earth, what else?
Keyno not only learns the importance of Christmas to his chosen, he’s also shocked and confused as to why Dale hasn’t shared this with him. There is no such celebration on Tah’Nar, but that doesn’t stop Keyno from trying to bring happiness to Dale. He’s not only a starship captain, he’s also an excellent strategist. He gathers his closest friends—Doc and Gibor—and researchers the holiday.
He finds three important things about Christmas: First there is an older, heavyset male called the Santa Claus. The second is the holiday usually revolves around a tree laden with shiny baubles and lights with gifts under it. And finally they learn they’re supposed to eat way too much, then lie around and moan because they ate too much.
Humans are so odd.
These mighty warriors survived the birth of their young, surely an undertaking of this magnitude is not beyond their grasp. Hopefully Dale will be pleased with all the trouble Keyno went to. But just in case, Keyno has a very special surprise in store for his chosen for his first Tah’Narian Christmas.
My Review
Dale had been human before he was harvested from Earth and brought to be Kenyo's mate. Even though he's happy with his life now, he still misses his human family and some of the Earth customs like Christmas. Kenyo can tell that something is wrong and Dale won't tell him what's bothering him so he does the only thing he can think of, he reaches out to Dale's mother on Earth. After figuring out that Dale probably misses Christmas, he does what any loving mate would do...he tries to make Christmas come to them.
This story was sad because Dale misses his family but it was also funny because of the fact that Kenyo doesn't really understand the whole Christmas thing. But he did the best thing and invited Dale's parents to Tah'Nar to have their first alien Christmas and some of Dale's human friends, Chad had his parents there as well and they were all going to celebrate together.
I love the fact that Dale's sister Susan is there and so is her husband Evan. Evan had a hard time accepting any of the aliens and even forbade his wife from seeing Dale because of his feelings for the aliens. But after seeing how hurt she was and talking with one of the aliens and seeing that the humans who were taken are now happy, he's come around.
Reading how Susan and Dale used to do things to get into trouble when they were younger and then when their mother brought a photo album with her to show how cute Dale was as a kid, made me think of growing up with my own brother. It's small things that made me smile and made me love Keyno even more than I already did. How he acted with the kids and Dale's family was wonderful.
The kids or young as they're called there are so funny. They are playful and are always making strange cat-like sounds.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars
This book was free on Smashwords when I got it, it might still be.

Product Review: Idson Retractable Dog Leash
Product Description
Comfortable, Strong, Durable nylon retractable leash supports dogs up to 110 pounds. Comfortable anti-slip handle for secure gripping.
Easy control leash length, reliable lock button gives you full control enabling instant retraction of your dog when needed, the belt can extend to 16 feet.
Small and lightweight.
My Review
We've had Falcor for less than 2 years and yet we've gone through 3 retractable leashes. The dog runs after blowing leaves, pieces of paper and pretty much anything that blows in the wind on windy days and unfortunately hubby doesn't always have a good grip on the leash so he drops it and then if you shake the leash you can hear small pieces on the inside that are rolling around in there and the leash will no longer work properly.
So I was happy to get another retractable leash to try out and this one I like because it's easy to stop the leash from coming out and easy to let it out with the push of a button. I like that even when you have it on stop so that the leash doesn't come out that it still has a little give to it so that a little will come out so that it doesn't break the retractable part of the leash. I also like that the hook on the leash is a metal one and not a plastic one that can break more easily.
Disclosure: I was given this product at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

Review: Sahale Snacks
Recently Crowdtap sent me a box of Sahale Snacks. In the box was:
1 sample of Sahale Snacks® Honey Almonds Glazed Mix
6 samples of Salted Caramel Apple Pecan Layered Nut Bars
6 samples of Almond Vanilla Latte Layered Nut Bars
1 sample of Sahale Pomegranate Vanilla Flavored Cashews
1 $1.00 Coupon
I tried the Honey Almonds first and then one of the Vanilla Latte Snack Bars and really liked both of those. I waited until the next day to try the Caramel Apple Pecan bars and even though I'm not a big fan of apples or apple flavored things in my snacks, everything I tried was really good.
Disclosure: I sent a box of Sahale Snacks for free because I'm a member of Crowdtap.

Mary's Meatloaf Recipe
1 yellow onion-diced
1 bell pepper- diced
2 carrots- diced
Saute in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until soft. Remove from heat and let cool 10 minutes.
In an oven safe roasting pan with a lid mix together...
2 lbs of ground beef
McCormick Meatloaf Seasoning
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup bread crumbs
Add cooled sauteed vegetables mix and form into a circle.
You can form the meatloaf into whatever form you like, place lid on pot and add to a preheated 375 oven. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until meat is cooked all the way through. Drain off oil and cut into slices or pieces.
I serve mine with mashed potatoes, gravy and steamed broccoflower.
If you've never heard of Broccoflower, it's a cross between broccoli and cauliflower. To me it just tastes like cauliflower but is light green in color.

My Review
I've slowly been accumulating bandages, gauze and would care sprays but I always just use them up and then my tiny first aid kit is empty again. So I went looking for a bigger first aid kit to have on hand for those times I need to find something fast. It really doesn't do me any good to have gauze, medical tape and bandages if they are in a small pouch hidden under other stuff in the back of my hall closet and it never fails, that's where it is when I go to look for something.
This kit has everything I will need for a very long time and it even has a quick reorder sheet in the event that I use stuff up and need to replace it. When I opened this first aid kit, I saw a whole bunch of bandages, tape ect. Then realized that there was more on the bottom!
More bandages, an ice pack ect. This first aid kit is packed with everything a person would need. My husband has Aids so I always have rubber gloves and bandages on had in case he cuts himself and needs help bandaging his cut up. I also keep a mini kit in my purse at all times with gloves, gauze and medical tape in case we are out together and he needs a bandage. He also keeps bandaids in his wallet at all times, so we go through a lot of bandaids and bandages because he has really thin skin and he bleeds really easily, so something like this kit comes in real handy for us.
Plus I have a 2 year old grandson who lives near me and I know from experience that kids get scrapes and cuts all the time so I know this first aid kit will come in handy with him around.

My Review
The first picture is what I saw when I opened the box. There are 65 snack bags with cookies, candy and chips in this box. There is a great variety of snacks, something that everyone will like. In the other two pictures, I just took out a random sampling of what I found in the box and took a picture of it to give you an idea of what you might find in this box.
Everything was fresh, not stale and the box it came in was placed in another bigger box with bubble packs around it so the box didn't get squished at all and all the bags were in great condition. There are quite a few brand name snacks in this box that I've tried before but there were also some brands and snacks that I'd never tried before so this was a surprise for me as well. So far my hubby and I have liked everything in the box.
I had several family members over when the box arrived and when I said everyone could help themselves, they were more than happy too and even had a hard time choosing between all the different snacks because there's such a diverse choice to choose from.
This would be great to give to college kids, great to have on hand for lunches.
