Product Review - Paracord Survival Bracelet - Adamant




Review:  This is a thick bracelet that is adjustable for your wrist - the smallest fits my wrist and I can pull it off still but it takes some work - it is not just going to fall off - the bracelet has a round ring with a serrated edge to use as a knife - you put the fire started rod inside the circle of the knife and then pull the cord tight.  

My son decided to try the firestarter and his fingers got pretty black from rubbing the finish off of the rod, but no sparks that we could see.  He rubbed it fast and firmly but no sparks.  He was disappointed and put it down I picked it up to give it a try and boom sparks - big big ones - I think we needed to get whatever coating was on the rod off and now it works great - big sparks that would start a fire if you were ready to do that.  

Next we went to the knife with a piece of wood and it scored the piece well - so my son decided that with enough effort and time he could cut a decent cut.

The cord is thick - I did not take the bracelet apart to measure I will believe that it is 16 feet long when unraveled.  Well I am impressed with the big sparks that I made with little effort after my son removed all the coating and couldn't get a thing.  This would be a great item for your go bag or a 72 hour kit.  Instructions would be a nice added bonus - that is why I marked it to 4 stars - with instructions and BOOM 5 stars.

I received this item for an honest review.

Book Review - Vanabode - Jason Odom


click to buy Vanabode how to  happily camp, travel and live forever on $20 a day


Title:  Vanabode

Author:  Jason Odom

Review:  This is an interesting idea - living on 20 dollars a day and traveling the US in your van/house.  With the small living movement I can see how this would also be exciting and new for people to think about.  20 dollars a day - most of us could retire now if we could live like that the rest of our lives-  I personally do not want to live in a van- but it doesn't mean you don't.

This book gave me somethings to think about that really made me think.  Why do I need a big house?  Why do I need to keep up with my neighbors and go into huge amounts of debts so that they can envy me?  No and think living in a van there is no yard to take care of or snow to shovel from your driveway and walks......hummmm....that does sound nice right now.

I think this is a good book to read and think about - maybe someday - maybe .....go buy your copy and read it - lots to think about and maybe some changes are needed in my life.

I received this book for an honest review.

Synopsis:  Discover How You Can Spend The Rest Of Your Life
Traveling And Seeing The Most Breathtaking Sites 
In America on $20 A Day

Imagine what you would do and where you would go if I PROMISED to show you how to live a complete life with all your needs met for $20 a day? Would you head to a national park like Yellowstone or Glacier and hike and photograph wildlife for a month? Would you relax a month away on Florida's pristine white powder sand beaches sipping cold Mojito's? Would you hit the tables in Vegas for some exciting gaming, outrageous pool parties, followed by a mind blowing world class show? Would you dine out every night for a week on the pier in San Francisco? Would you go hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, biking, boating, surfing, skiing, or otherwise get off the grid and out of the grind for a month or two at a time?

My wife and I have been doing this for years. Now you can get 700,000+ miles of travel experience over the course of 18+ years in my new book entitled Vanabode - how to happily camp, travel and live forever on $20 a day.

Book Review - The Widow of Larkspur Inn - Lawana Blackwell

1123434
Title: The Widow of Larkspur Inn (The Gresham Chronicles Book #1)

Author:  Lawana Blackwell:

Review:  A delightful regency story that does not involve passionate sex and despicable family members.  It was well written and left one feeling that they really knew the characters. It tells the story of a young widow who is forced by her deceased husbands gambling debts to have to leave London and try to provide for her three children and one maid who insists of going with her. It left me looking forward to reading the next book in the series. It takes place in a beautiful part of England and describes a life style as it used to be. It turns out to be a love story with meaning and makes one feel good. 

I gave it a 4 star rating. 

I obtained the book fromkindlebuffet.com.

Thanks Frank for this review.

Synopsis:  When Life Seemed Its Worst, Gresham Awaited

Julia Hollis' opulent life in Victorian London crashes to pieces when her husband passes away. Worse, she is told by his bankers that he gambled away their fortune. Now, the family's hope rests on The Larkspur, an old abandoned coaching inn in the quaint village of Gresham. 

Driven by dread and her desire to provide for her children, Julia decides to turn the dilapidated inn into a lodging house. But can she--who was accustomed to servants attending to every need--do what needs to be done and cope when boarders begin arriving? And then an eligible new vicar moves into town...

Book Review - That Will Do Nicely - Ian Wallace Campbell

17310150
Title: That Will Do Nicely

Author: Ian Campbell: 

Review:  This is a crime story that takes place in London England and other parts of Europe. There is no violence and any sex is left to the readers imagination. It revolves around a plot to steal two million pounds sterling (give or take) thru the use of counterfeit  travelers checks. The two criminals and the Detective Inspector who investigates the case are truly likeable individuals. The story is constructed so well that one is caught between hoping that all are successful in their role. I was caught off guard by the ending, but that being said, was quite happy for the way it turned out. The cover photograph of the clock tower (Big Ben) lit up at night from across the Thames is a masterpiece in its self. 

I gave this a 5 star rating. I will read other offerings by this writer.

I obtained the book using kindlebuffet.com.

Thanks Frank for the review 

Synopsis:    Tom Pascoe is the central character in the novel. He’s about 40 something… past the first flush of youth and he has just finished his marriage to his unlovely wife Theresa.

To say that their marriage had been less than perfect would be an understatement.

She was all want, want, want and she readily spent any money that they acquired, on various frivolities. 
Unfortunately, she wasn’t as good at making the money as she had been at spending it. Their life, to that point, would have been considered my many as idyllic. 

They lived in a period cottage in the tiny village of Patrixbourne, which lies to the east of Canterbury in the county of Kent. 

Pascoe, who had spent his earlier life as a photographer, had given it all up in favor of working for his father-in-law’s business as a jumped-up clerk in an import-export office in Dover. It wasn’t his line of work at all, but it had paid the bills.

A few months before, Theresa had pushed to have a party at the cottage so that she could show off the place to her friends. 

Pascoe had gone along with it,because he didn’t want another battle which he would probably have lost. Not that he was weak; he just preferred a quiet life; and then all hell had broken loose when he had discovered his wife ‘inflagrante delicto’ with one of his colleagues from work. Their marriage was OVER!!!

Pascoe’s reaction had been to throw the pair of them unceremoniously out into the street in front of all their so-called friends. It had been extremely embarrassing but he had finally done something of which he was proud. 
His wife took her time to take her revenge.

Revenge doesn’t usually arrive by the mail… not a bomb or anything like it. 

More of a bomb-shell. Theresa had taken advantage of her name which began with the letter ‘T’, just like Tom’s and had acquired a credit card in the name of T. Pascoe and had run up more than £18,000 worth of debt which in the mid 1980’s was quite a lot of money. 

Certainly more than he had and more than he had ever seen in one place at the same time. He was well and truly screwed. He took legal advice which was to pay up or file for bankruptcy which would not only ruin him but prevent him from any meaningful recovery for a number of years.

There had to be another way out of his predicament and this is where serendipity took his hand…..

Book Review - Paw and Order - Spencer Quinn

18775381
Title:   Paw and Order

Author:  Spencer Quinn.

Review:  This is book 7 of the mystery series with canine narrator and P.I. Bernie. I found the story to be humorous and very much enjoyed a story told from the dogs point of view. Both characters seemed real and enjoyed what they were doing. I would read all of the stories in the series given the opportunity. 

I received this book as an ARC from the publisher and would rate it at 5 stars.

Thanks Frank for this review.

Now the beloved team returns in another suspenseful novel that finds Chet sniffing around the capital city and using his street smarts to uncover a devilish plot.

Soon Chet and Bernie are sucked into an international conspiracy, battling unfamiliar forces under the blinking red eyes of a strange bird that Chet notices from the get-go but seems to have slipped by everybody else.

Product Review - Credit Card-Sized External Battery Charger



Review: This is about the size of a credit card but thicker - I love external batteries - I was at the doctor the other day and I needed to call home and my battery was too low so I plugged this guy into my phone and BOOM power and I could call home and even play games - it charged my phone all the way up by the time I had gotten home - I just tossed my phone connected to the charger into my purse and when I got home instead of charging my phone I charged this charger instead so it was ready for the next day.

It is so nice to know you do not have to find a plug to charge your phone- and with this little charger you don't need to carry a cable because it is built in- added bonus - you are always ready to go with this little charger - I love that it comes with the cable built in - the other I have tried require a separate cable to charge your phone.  More to carry - but with this charger there is nothing else to carry just the charger -

My kids fight over this charger and today my daughter was yelling where is the charger I need to be on a bus for 4 hours and will run out of battery - I need it.  So I took it out of my purse and made her promise to take care of it and bring it back - a great tiny item to take with you for more power - it gave my ipad a good 20% battery life the other day at a meeting so I was able to finish and not have to search for a plug and my cords in my bag.

I received this item for an honest review.

Description:  

Power Theory® Credit Card-Sized 2500mAh Portable Charger External Battery Pack with built-in USB & Apple® Lightning Cable. The PowerCard is a Lightweight Backup Phone Power Bank That Fits in a Pocket or Wallet and Works Great for iPhone 5/6, Samsung Galaxy, HTC, Nexus and More.

  • THE POWERCARD - A PERFECT COMBINATION OF POWER, SIZE & WEIGHT. Many products claim to be "the world's thinnest, lightest power bank". Usually that just means they don't have enough juice to actually charge your phone enough to use it. If you compare our ratio of weight (60g/2.1oz), to compact size (3.75 x 2.4 x 1/4 inches) to powerful charge (2500 mAh Real Capacity) you will not find a better external battery charger for emergency situations or those days where you need a little extra power.

    NO MORE FUSSING AROUND IN YOUR BAG FOR ANNOYING CHARGING CABLES. A portable battery charger is not really portable if you have to also carry the cables that easily break or tangle. Our smartly designed external power bank has a built-in Micro USB and Apple Lightning Cable meaning you have everything need to charge your phone when you need it the most.

    NEVER RUN OUT OF BATTERY POWER AGAIN. External battery packs are a great idea in theory, but we found that we never seemed to have them on hand when we needed them the most. To solve this we designed the PowerCard. Our lightweight design means you can always carry the charger with you whether you are out on business, travel or at a restaurant. Our A+ Li-Polymer battery cell (2500 mAh) means that you can depend on the PowerCard to fully charge almost all smartphones.

The Problem: 


People love their Smartphones - until they run out of power. Usually at the worst possible time: Traveling. Outdoors. At a party. At a meeting. During a blackout. Or having car trouble. 

The Solution: 

With the PowerCard you always have reserve power available, in your wallet, pocket or bag. The 2500mAh premium battery is big enough to charge your phone. It has been engineered with a new "S-Power" chip for intelligent charging and extra safety protection.It turns off automatically and charging is easy. Just plug in the Micro-USB or Lightning adapter to your phone and you will see the LED light turn red as it rescues your phone from battery death. 

Size Does Matter 

It's almost the size of a credit card, only 1/4" (6.3mm) thick and weighs just 2.1 oz. (60g). You can also say goodbye to annoying cables and bulky portable chargers.

Product Review - Running Armband for iPhone 6 Plus 5.5 inch





Product:  Running Armband for iPhone 6 Plus 5.5 inch

Review:  The Sports Armband for iPhone 6 Plus 5.5 Inch appears to be well made and works quite well.  The phone slips in easily and is completely secured.  There a hole for access to the headphones port on the bottom.  While it fits snuggly around the arm the iPhone 6 Plus is really large to wear on your arm.  A nice feature is the holder has enough stretch to also accommodate my iPhone without having to remove it from it's wallet case.  

My only recommendation would be instructions as there are two slots marked A and B which I originally thought were for small or large arms but after working with it I discovered it is much easier to put the band through the A slot then the B slot and then slide the armband up my arm into position and then tighten the band.  That worked much better than using just the B slot.  I may never have figured that out and it is much better than just using one slot.  The other is there is a hole on the top like the one on the bottom for the headphone jack but I see no reason for the one on the top.  

Thanks Rick for this review.  It is also a great price - check out the link above

Product Review - Glow 2 Go Review + Giveaway - Self Tanner Sunless Tanning Half Body Application Towelettes




Product:  Glow2Go Self Tanner Sunless Tanning Half Body Application Towelettes - Thermalab  Giveaway at the bottom

Review:  These little towelette are easy to use and there is not odor that is offensive like with other self tanning lotions.  The color you achieve is a light brown with one use and then it gets darker with more uses - the instructions I received were good to follow to get the best results with these tanning towelettes -  I like the color that I achieved so far - I am pasty white in the winter - I teach school and one day a student said I am so white I almost look green - oh well - this is the answer to my white skin when I need a bit of color or lower cut items or short sleeves - I cannot use a tanning bed because we have skin cancer in the family on both sides and not just one kinds, but three kinds on top of the fact that my father is a red head - yes tanning is not a good idea for my skin -

So that said I think these are a good thing for people like me - great results and little time to do it - just the 10 minutes before getting dressed is hard for me to remember - I set a timer and play a game on my ipad while I wait.  I have a house full of children so no running around naked for me.

I received these for an honest review.

Instructions for use -

1. Scrub Your Skin                                        
I always recommend scrubbing your skin before using the    
product. The golden rule of self-tanning is to exfoliate  
your entire body first. Skip this crucial step and you risk
uneven, blotchy results. Pay extra attention to really dry
spots like your elbows and knees. Remember, you'll help    
Thermalabs Glow2Go towelettes reach your body and it will  
help you back by making your skin beautiful and sexy.      
                                                           
2. Enhance Your Base                                      
Our self-tanners are wonderful even if your body is very  
pale as you can use it to grow a beautiful, natural, tan.  
The premium ingredients in Thermalabs Glow2Go react with the
skin's amino acids to produce natural-looking brown        
pigments. Your tone should peak in a few days. At that    
point, start applying one (or two) towelettes every two or
three days to maintain your gleam.                        
                                                           
3. Thermalabs Is Better For You OR be patient.            
The issue many people face is that they want a tanned look
this second so they get unhealthy bronzing oils that you can
swipe on before going out. The effects only stick around  
until your next shower though. Thermalabs on the other hand,
gives you the FINEST product with much more staying power.
By building your tan with our product - you will get a    
beautiful golden hue, and the color lasts up to TWO WEEKS  
(depending on your skin).                                  
                                                           
4. Protecting Your Hands From Stains: Put on the Gloves    
Before applying any tanner, pull on Latex (if you're not  
allergic) gloves. By doing this, your palms won't soak up  
any color meant for your body. If you don't have gloves dont
worry - simply wash your hands with soap when you're done.

5. Use Broad Strokes                                      
Make sure your body isn't greasy from any residual body    
cream, which can block the formula from absorbing fully.  
Then spread the product on with uniform swipes in all      
directions.                                              
                                 
                                                           
Some More Recommendations: Cleanse and exfoliate the skin •
Do not shave or remove hair 24 hours before application •  
For deeper tan, apply another towelette after 4 hours •    
Repeat daily until you like the results then apply 1-2 times
a week • Please note that results vary based on your skin  
type.

Our special box will also help you with storage! This box comes with a special 'press to open' area that will allow pulling one towel at a time - WITHOUT opening the entire box! Keep it in your closet under other products and stay organized. Yes, we think about EVERYTHING!
Each wipe is concentrated with our innovative tan formula that will produce:

• Even
• Streak Free

• In less then 4 hours!
• You'll Be Amazed!

Prepare to look sexy and attractive anywhere, anytime! Use our towelettes at home or take them on the road. It's SO easy!
We will also email you our best selling guide "Self Tan Secrets" (sold separately on Amazon for $10!). Researched and written by Thermalabs formula technicians, this 50 page guide reveals all the facts and secrets you need to know about self-tanning!
You also get 100% money back guarantee! We know you'll never need it, but if for some reason you're not 1000% amazed by the results - send the product back and get a full refund!

1. 20 instead of 10!
There are a few great things about our product… Not only did we made the box so easy to work with (that you can pull one individually towelette at a time from the side opening) but we also decided to make double the quantity of the competition and sell it for a great price that competes with the biggest brands out there… Just to clarify - Loreal sells a box of only 6(!) for double what we charge now for 20 :-)

2. Why HALF BODY are better then FULL BODY
We did a market research and discovered the biggest problem of the bigger ‘full body’ towelettes. It actually makes a lot of sense: once you open the sachet and pull out the towel, if it’s too big you don’t get to use it evenly and more importantly it usually just dries before you finish working your entire body. So this is why we decided to go with the half-body towelettes where you simply use two wipes if you’d like your entire body, or just one if you only want half (some only want to do their legs, or their hands…) and it gives you more comfort and time to make sure you don’t miss a spot before it dries… or some might only want to use it on their faces and why ruin a huge full-body towelette if you only want to use it on your face… So we hope we made the right decision, but it’s up to you to say what YOU think about it in your review :-)

3. The color!!!
If you’ve tried it you probably saw that we created the best formula to give the closest color we could to real tan. Who doesn’t recognize this horrible orange color the other brands have? Well, it took us years to reach this perfect color and we really hope you’ll love what you see! As you know, it also really depends on your own chemistry, and we know that 1 person in 1,000 will have skin that will not work well with our product and that’s where our super non-compromising 100% money back guarantee comes into the picture! No matter what, no matter when, if our customers aren’t fully satisfied with the results we will give them all their money back!!! So you can buy this product with no worries :-)

4. Simplicity
So far we just get so many great feedback about the simplicity of use, the simplicity of carrying it around and the great results… We can’t wait to see what you write about it.

Product Review - Sun'n'Fun Broad Spectrum SPF30 Sunscreen for Kids






Product:  Sun 'n'Fun Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen for Kids

Review:  This is great sunscreen that has the smell of chocolate - it smells like chocolate milk - it is a light brown color and spread nicely so that no one will know you have sunscreen on and yet you smell great - it is water resistant up to 80 minutes and is good for all skin types.

I love the smell and so do my kids - I have talked about how we need to wear sunscreen even in the winter since our skin is so white without being outside all the time - like in the summer - protecting your skin and your childrens is a year round job - this will make it easier for you as it smell great and that will keep the little ones from running away as you try to get it on their little faces and bodies.

I love that it is made for kids -

Author:  Margaret O’Neil.

Review:  A movie star, who has been widowed for two years, decides he needs a mother for his two daughters so he offers his sister’s best friend a contract for ten years, with a salary of one million a year to marry him. This is to be a sexless marriage but true love intervenes and of course in turns into a true love affair when the heroine starts to believe in herself. I enjoyed the book and finished it in one day.

Thanks Frank for this review.

Responding to Bryce's immediate need for childcare, and as a favor for her best friend, Marja Lindstrom accepts a temporary assignment as tutor/nanny. Bryce has a more permanent arrangement in mind and stuns Marja with a marriage proposal — a marriage proposal with a twist.

Other Reviews:
If your idea of dancing is a one, two chip step and an occasional dip, then it's time for a different type of Salsa in your life. A fusion of African, Cuban and Latin American rhythms, the word means "flavor" or "style", and unlike the "show-off" dancing that takes over the whole dance floor, this dance form occupies a smaller fixed area, retaining the intimacy of the dance while making it quite obvious that you know what you're doing.
Salsa utilizes an eight beat pattern, two bars of four beats, with three steps and a skipped beat in each bar. The skipped beat is often used for something fancy like a toe tap or kick. Salsa can be danced solo or with a partner, but you'd better learn both, because once you start strutting your stuff on the dance floor you're sure to get a lot of willing partners.

If you're serious about kicking your dance life up a notch, and have a partner that doesn't have two left feet, this Beginners three-pack is recommended for you. If you just want to taste before buying, you should rent or borrow Volume One, which is available separately, but for the whole experience, this three DVD package is the most convenient.

The instructors make it easy by first demonstrating the steps slowly, one movement at a time, and then repeating the figures over and over to give you enough time to get the idea. This means that you don't have to stop dancing and replay the section continuously, even though you still need to practice afterwards. The steps are eye-catching, and can be used in the formal ballroom dance arena as well as casually at a clubs, parties and even in your living room. For people who have previous experience with this dance form, the instructors offer up lots of tips and secrets, and even if you already dance like a star you can learn something from this series. (I showed this one to a highly experienced and qualified dance instructor, and even she was duly impressed.)

If you're ready to put some spice in your dance life, it's Salsa time!!! --Amanda Richards: HALL OF FAME, TOP 1000 REVIEWER, VINE VOICE

Book Review - Scandal with a Prince - Nicole Burnham

18759708
Title:   Scandal With a Prince

Author: Nicole Burnham. 

Review:  A modern love story that take place in Spain. The main character had a daughter out of wedlock with the Prince as the father after an encounter in South America. He was unaware of the child until the two parents meet again after approximately 10 years. Needless to say they again fall for each other and a romance again develops between them. As with all fairy stories it has a happy ending. It was a very pleasant read.

I rated it at 5 stars and would read other stories in the series by this writer.

I picked up the book from Kindlebuffet.com.

Thanks Frank for this review.

Synopsis:  A one night stand. A lifelong obsession.

One magical summer, Megan Hallberg met—and loved—Prince Stefano Barrali. But his royal duties took him home, and when she discovered she carried his child, she also discovered he was engaged…to a beautiful, worldly aristocrat.

Ten years later, Stefano runs into Megan at the grand opening of a Barcelona hotel, and it’s his every sensual fantasy come to life. His memory of the stunning blonde and their passionate summer has haunted his dreams, and a night under the stars gives him the perfect opportunity to reclaim the woman he thought lost to him.

Megan finds herself torn between passion with a prince and a fierce need to protect her daughter. Can the man who captured her heart so many years ago be her destiny…or her downfall?
