Product Review: Mediderm Extrait De Caviar Luxury Hydra Cream 1.7 ozFacial Moisturizer for Daily Use on Dry Skin

Product Review: I received this product free for my honest review. When this product arrived I was extremely excited because it didn't have any strange smells that I associate with Moisturizing Creams. I spent the next week using this product but every day around the same time I seem to start itching mainly where my skin is extremely dry. However I kept using this product and watched as I skin seem to gain back some of its soft youthful look. The packaging is beautiful giving a very expensive look. The cream doesn't leave you feeling like you are coated in a thick cream but in something soft. I still have my dry patches but they are disappearing slowly every day I use this cream. I am giving it 4 Stars due to the itching I get whenever I use this product. This product was sent to me for my personal and honesty thoughts of this product. #CaviarMosturizer

Product Review Luxury Vintage Style Feather Wool Lady Beret Hat Airline Stewardess Hat

Product Review: I received this Product for my honest review. It took almost three weeks for this product to arrive and when it arrived I was super excited because I love Vintage Hats. In fact I have about a dozen vintage hats from the 1930-1960's all different and all different quality. This hat while is beautiful doesn't even come close to the quality these hats have almost 50 years later. The glue used to hold the fathers on was caught all over the hat as well as one of the feathers is no long attached with the glue. The fabric used is really heavy making the hat look heavy. I am giving this product 3 Stars it is nice and pretty but it has its flaws. #VintageBeret

Book Review: A Pain in the Tuchis by Mark Reutlinger‏

Title:A Pain in the Tuchis Author: Mark Reutlinger‏ Stars:4 out of 5 Review: A delightful murder mystery set in a facility for elderly Jewish individuals. The murder was at first undetected and hinted at, by the sister of the deceased, to Mrs Kaplan and her good friend. After getting the police involved they conduct their own investigation and were able to piece together the truth so that justice could be served. I enjoyed the manner in which the story was told and liked the main characters. I thought too many little Jewish expressions and words were used, not all with explanations, but then the story takes place in a Jewish old people's home so who am I to kvetch. I have given this book a four star rating and would recommend it to anyone seeking a light, violence free, mystery to read. Synopsis: Yom Kippur is a day of reflection and soul searching. But at the Julius and Rebecca Cohen Home for Jewish Seniors, Vera Gold misses this opportunity to atone for her many sins when she up and dies. Indeed, Vera was such a pain in the tuchis to all those around her that when her sister claims Vera was deliberately poisoned, the tough question isn’t who would want to kill her—but who wouldn’t? Having already solved one murder with her dear friend Ida, Rose Kaplan has a sleuthing reputation that precedes her. It’s only natural that Vera’s sister turns to Mrs. K for help. So do the police, but when her conclusions conflict with theirs, they tell her to butt out! This case has more twists than a loaf of challah. And with a homicidal scoundrel on the loose, Mrs. K has to act fast—or she might be the guest of honor at the Home’s next memorial service. Kindle Edition Expected publication: November 17th 2015 by Alibi About the Author: Mark Reutlinger is the author of the novel Made in China and the "Mrs. Kaplan" mystery series. He is a professor of law emeritus at Seattle University. Born in San Francisco, Mark graduated from UC Berkeley and now lives with his wife, Analee, in University Place, Washington. When not reading or at his computer writing, Mark enjoys tennis, biking, playing the clarinet (in the Tacoma Concert Band), sports cars, and various arts and crafts. He wishes he had time for it all.
