Christmas 2014

I spent Christmas eve over my brothers house where my Son lives. I had a great time hanging out and enjoying the time my son and I spent together laughing and joking around until the morning hours of Christmas. He usually does nt like hanging out with me orspending time So I Treasured our great evening . We also both each had a friend that Was Going to be alone for the holiday and took a ride to pick them up and have them Come spend the holiday with us and our family, It was very nice being able to provide I other people with a family a tmosphere and holiday dinner and Know we were the reason they did not have to be alone. I only hope that my Son enjoyed the time we had together as much as I did and also felt good to help a friend out and not leavethem on their own on a day of love, Sharing , giving happiness to others, I now here at home havehad my friend here as Company so he gets a chance to have a change of scenery and hopefully we both bouncing ideas off each other will help us in the future to be able to build better futures For ourselves, we can talk q lot about wanting to accomplish , acheive , and do Sornuch but we need to both work on our follow through because our Intell, gent ideas go no where when wedontdo anything with them, I hope someday to have this friendship progress fort her and Both bee able to encourage each other and grow buildingeachothers futures brighter but only time will tell. For now the Conversations are great and I not so alone and lonely too bad he will have to leave and go home in couple days I wish he would stay, even stay living here as a Companion to have Some one to talk to ,hear me,support meemotionally, understand me, and help me when I lonely , hurt , depressed , and hopeless.But he willleave and I willgo back to being alone having no one who cares, no one who bothers, no one who listens or hears me and I will be back feeling hopeless, worthless, useless, unloved , not Cared about , and shown I mean nothing to no one until they want mefor something or need something,My life has no real worth orpurpose. tn mean nothing to anyone from whatpeople show me.

Pine Bros SOFTISH THROAT DROPS

I was sent packages of Pine Bros softish throat drops in exchange for a review after testing the products. There were 2 flavors, Natural Lemon and Licorice.  Of the 2 flavors I preferred the licorice flavor over the natural honey flavor. Though thats my personal preference.i found them both flavorex to perfection.

These being throat drops I believed they would sooth a sore throat somehow. But rather the effect I received from the were wonderfully flavoured sorta hard but chewy somewhat  like the candy back in the day jujus. These drops have helpedme with my dried mouth and throat but did not numb and last.

The Pine Bros Softish Throat Drops seem of quality ingrediants and great flavored. Not overpowering but just the right flavor. These throat dropsare Made in America since 1870. The honey flavored drops sunflower oil, corn syrup, sugar, honey with other natural flavors for the inactive ingredients and glycerin as the active ingrediant. The licorice flavored drops consist of the same ingrediants but replacing the honey with licorice flavor.

The natural lemon drops came in travel round countainer consisting of 26 drops while they also come in a value pack! feshness bag with 32 drops. The licorice came in 32 count value package freshness bag.

I recommend these drops to anyone with dry mouth and throat. I particularly didn't get relief from them for sore throat.

Krafts new tacoBell Bottled Sauces make my Homemade Chili Fries the Best

Bottled #TacoBellBottledSauces Wow! Why have they not done this sooner? Possibly a marketing promotion to up their sales or maybe just their sales have been down so they needed to improve somewhere. However I like taco bell its not a place I go often. I would rather have these sauces available as they now are for my at home cooking not as before when I would have to save some of the packets or eat at TacoBell everytime. I now have the freedom to have the #TacoBellBottledSauces on whatever I want it on. #GotItFree #BzzAgent #BzzCampaign #BottledAwesome My #OreIda frozen Fries from #Kroger have never tasted better. I love to use the #BottledAwesome Fire and Verde TacoBell Bottled Sauces on the homemade chili cheese fries using @OreIda Olive oil and garlic natural fries from @Kroger and homemade chili with shredded cheddar cheese. @Kraft

Had a great Spa Party Sponsered By @NaturesBounty.

There was not many adults who attended However there was plenty of teens at the party who had a blast with the Spa part of the Party along with all the snacks they had. The younger men who attended the party were in their late teens though all were 19 they had fun but did not participate in the Spa part of the party and instead attended the room occupied with video games playing Xbox360 and XboxOne. Then us adults that attended had our own little party enjoyed our relaxation, chatting, drinks, and fun! All and all was a great #HouseParty sponsered by @HouseParty and @NaturesBounty. They sent along in a party pack some Natures Bounty Gummie Vitamins for your hair, nails, and skin. The vitamins are strawberry flavored and have vitamin C, vitamin E, and Biotin in them. They do not taste bad however I did not think the strawberry flavoring was great.They also provided a package of multiple colors of nail polish. The polish was not so great as in the shower the next day one whole nail came off in a single flake, as well as the rest are pealing and look horrible. However we had a great #HouseParty any way and I plan on posting pictures later.

SodaStream

I received my SodaStream as a gift for Christmas.  I just love it. I have tried many of the SodaStream flavors and narrowed my likings down to just a couple so far. Some I have truly disliked, some are tolerable, then others I find awesome. My favorite currently is SodaStream cherry cola. It tastes very similar to cherry coke where as some of the flavorings have a vad aftertaste in my opinion.  The cherry cola does not seem to have that. I also like the mango energy and energy flavors. The strawberry flavoring is good tasting and is very similar to a store brand strawverry flavored soda. I do not like the regular cola flavoring or the orange flavor.

The machine itself is great. Better than the SodaStream machine my son has. The one I have has a light system to let you know when the amount of co2 is at the level you want by lighting up one, two, or three lights and also can hear a squeal. When releasing it the extra gas releases. The SodaStream system my son has does not have the light up system built in and instead must be determined just by the sound to figure out his co2 amounts. My machine the bottle slides up into and back to clip it in as with my sons it must be screwed in and screwed out. My machine appears easier to use and the better lasting machine between the two. However they are both great money savers.  Especially with the energy flavors.  My son does not have to spend 2.50-3.00 on a single can of energy drink such as NOS or Redbull. The SodaStream is a money saver thats for sure.

"Invisible Witness: Healing From My Family's Legacy of Domestic Violence" Elizabeth Nelson Kindle Book

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I found this book to be a quick easy read however not an easy read in an emotional aspect. I did find it was not very detailed in the how to cope on a day to day basis with the effects of witnessing domestic violence as a child. However it does give general ways to cope and healing. I wish it had more detailed ways to help with the healing process. It is very unfortunate that many of us experience things like this in life and are led t the just move on attitude from others both in our lives and society as a whole rather than real answers on how to cope and live. It is a healing process that is long term and life long but most people can cope day to day and live a life worth living learning to survive the effects of domestic violence. It also is different that many families that experience things turn out very different and all the members each have their own experience even witnessing the same exact experience. I recommend this book to survivors of domestic violence in their childhood however also I recommend they do not stop here with this book. They go on and read some other books that may help them face and cope with their own experience with more indepthness. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Duos I9192

Well have had my Galaxy S4 Mini Duos for few weeks now. I have yet to experience much of the features still since they are extensive however its a great device. Definitely more than a phone. Its my hand held android based computer pretty much. Features front and back cameras. The front facing camera is great for video calls and the rear camera takes nice pictures. Cameras feature several modes to help in various situations such as taking pictures at night. So far I only have used the night scheme and it works very nicely. The screen is 4.3 inches however it is a  bit small compared to its parent phones it still packs a punch in pixels and has great resolution.  I run mine with off a tmobile mvno Spot Mobile currently and not too happy with the service so far. Probably will switch it to at&t mvno shortly  and see if its better. May run both at some point since the phone is a Duos and has 2 sims that can run it. I have the factory unlocked version so can be used with any gsm carrier. Had difficulty with the mms for a bit as I had to setup the apn settings myself then that has worked since. It immediately had an update right out of the box which brought it to android 4.2.2 however I was hoping for the 4.3 update then I would be closer to kitkat update but nothing yet. Once in while the phone has issues with making phone calls and hearing the caller or persons you called. Then suddenly it just restarts itself and it works fine for a while. However unsure whats the cause of this difficult and its sudden reboot. Does it 2 to 3 times a day depending on my usage of it. Plays games with ease and is pretty simple to use its general features.

My First Infuenster Vox Box The JollyVoxBox

I received the #JollyVoxBox from +Influenster the other day. Today we tested out some of the products included in it. My niece spent the night last night so we tested the makeup products today. Included in the #JollyVoxBox was +RimmelLondonUs #ShowOffLipLacquer. It is a nice pink lip lacquer that is shinny and great fitting with our skin tones.

We also tried the +NYCNewYorkColor #HDColorTrio. It having nice tones with a highlighter, the all over lid, and the crease colors all in tan/brown tones.

The +Puffs #passThePuffs tissues included in my #JollyVoxBox from +InfluensterVox were Puffs Plus Lotion and very soft and helped with the irritation from another brand of tissues I had been using. My nose is no longer raw from needing to blow it due to using the +Puffs tissues I received. We both tried the +TheSkinnyCow and was able to #IndulgeWithSkinny. I loved the smooth, creamy, flavored dive filled chocolate candies. Feeling no guilt whatsoever eating them. Its a very well put together snack. My #VoxBox also included +TheDuckBrand #MiniDucklings roll of splashed duck tape we plan on making a small project with. It is a mini roll of white duck tape with what looks to be paint splashes of yellow, blue, green, purple, and orange on them. I am excited to make a crafty little thing with the #MiniDucklings tape that came in my +Influenster #VoxBox.

Schick Razors

I have tried 2 different Schick razors over the past couple months. The first a Schick Hydro in which I really liked. Its handle was shaped ergonomically and not plastic feeling. The razor fit nicely in my hand making it comfortable to hold while shaving the different contours needing to be shaved. It also had a close shave making it a nice shaver. However the next time I went to use it, the shaver and blades were stuck to the plastic protector that came with it. The moisturizer in the shaver had seeped out and dried itself to the shaver making the shaver unusable without buying a refill pack of blades. I was not about to dish out $25 for a refill package of blades only to get one use out of each of them due to the seepage of skin moisturizer in them. I do not recommend this product to others. Though I then bought a Schick Intuition razor which was much better and I do recommend. It came with 2 cartridges with a moisture dried creme surrounding the blade. It works really well and comes with a nice cover and suction cupped holder to place it in when not in use. This prevents the previous problem from occurring that I had experienced with the Schick Hydro. The design is much different however it provides a comfortable grip to hold it and shave the contours needing to be shaved. I truly like the design and shave I receive from this.

Blue Diamond unsweetend Almond Milk

I mainly buy the +BlueDiamond Vanilla Almond Breeze Almond Milk however I usually try to keep the Original on hand also as I do not buy regular milk and use Almond milk in everything that calls for milk to be used. I use the Vanilla in my hot and could cereals as well as prepartion of my Hot Chocolate and in making my fresh smoothies. I use the original in my mac and cheese, my potatoes, my casseroles, and everything else including baking that calls for milk. I always replace the milk in recipes with Almond milk. I have not tried the Blue Diamond chocolate Almond Milk. Almond milk has more calcium and less calories than regular milk. It is soy free and lactose free. However I do suggest to be careful if you have nut allergies.
