#InstaNatural

***My Personal Review***

Another great product from InstaNatural!  I have tried a few so far and have not been disappointed by any of them and this one was no different :)  I have pretty bad acne and this has helped to reduce that by quite a bit just after a few weeks of use, and I have noticed a definite change in my skin - it is softer and smoother.  This product is guaranteed - you have NOTHING to lose by trying it!  Plus it is made in the USA.  So many great ingredients in this product - Vitamins, Minerals, Aloe Vera, Avocado Oil and Hyaluronic Acid which are all well known to help skin problems.  This will also help anyone with rosacea because it is anti-inflammatory.

The serum itself is very light and rubs on easily and smoothly leaving no residue behind.  It can be used on any skin type be it oily, dry, normal.  Dr Oz even recommends using Vitamin B3 and we all know he is the guru :)  I even have a scar on my face that is not really noticeable but this lightened it even more which was amazing.  I have had the scar since I was a little kid (over 30 years now).  If you combine this with the other wonderful products from InstaNatural like the Rosehip Oil and Vitamin C Serum you will get amazing results!  And I guarantee if you try InstaNatural products you will be hooked as they are some of the best on the market.  Right now they are at an introductory price so get them and try them before the price raises and get that great skin you always wanted!

Number One Glucosamine Review

NUMBER ONE GLUCOSAMINE

#Glucosamine

***My Personal Review***

Ever have people that pop their knuckles all the time?  Does it drive you nuts like it does me????  They can possibly have joint problems from doing that a lot.  Everyone knows that Glucosamine Chondroitin is great for helping joint pain and issues with stiffness.  The hard part is finding a product that works best for you - this one works great!  It is all natural and comes with 240 caps in the bottle from Number One Nutrition.  The only warning is that it does contain shellfish so there is an allergy warning on it.  But it is MADE IN THE USA and that is a HUGE plus for me in buying products, especially healthy supplements.  I am going to recommend this to quite a few people who have Fibromyalgia that I know, and I think it could also be a great thing for a lot of individuals I know who have Williams syndrome like my daughter - WS causes a shortage of elastin in the joints, the rubber bands if you will of joints.  So anything that will help them from having pain is a super thing.

This is like putting oil in your car - it gives your joints and muscles the "oil" they need to work properly and keep going without tears or rips.  This would be a great supplement for anyone that has had back surgery, hip surgery, knee surgery - endless!  This is basically just replacing what you have in your body already, which makes it amazing and could possibly even STOP the progression of problems that could lead to surgery.  Get it started early and it might help more than you know.  I know it helped me, I have some back pain from a fall I took about 8 months ago, I fell on my porch and went down on my back on the steps.  I don't have health insurance so I couldn't go and have it checked, but it pains me once in a while.  I definitely noticed a difference after taking this, so apparently there was some muscle or joint damage from my fall.  I hope it keeps working to help me!  Give it a whirl!

Mega Mesh Premium Magnetic Screen Door Review

Link to my review on Amazon:


EASY INSTALL MAGNETIC SCREEN DOOR

#magneticscreendoor

***My Personal Review***

This is a great screen door for any home/door.  Whether you want to use it for your sliding door or a regular door you will find this to be exactly what you need.  If you have a fenced in backyard and want your animals to be able to go outside whenever this is perfect - it attaches easily and sturdily to your door jam and then is held shut when you want it to using magnets, but is not hard to open.  So you can have your hands full and push it open and your pet should easily be able to learn to open it - then it will shut itself again so you never have to worry about bugs getting in as long as it is closed :)

Everything is sewn into the screen - the mesh, the magnets, so it will hold up to even the heaviest traffic households and is guaranteed!  Most people would consider this a product to be used only in summer - but you could use it during the spring/fall months to cool down your home without fans/electricity.  The mesh is very sturdy and opening it hands-free was a cinch - it doesn't pull off because it holds so strongly.  I totally love this screen door, I think it is something every household can use - I even told my mom about it because their apartment does not have a sliding door, it's just a regular door to their porch so this is something they can use there and not have to worry about bugs!

***My Personal Review of My Sister's Reaper***

I thought this book was very intriguing and something you don't read everyday.  It took the paranormal idea to a different level.  Zadie loves her sister Mara who is in a coma, and Zadie knows that something about her sisters coma and the events leading up to it were not right but can't tell anyone.  And on top of that Zadie also realizes that something in HER is not right and even goes so far as to believe she is not human.  When she finally figures out what is happening it leads her to meeting the "reaper" who was supposed to take her sisters life (called the Reaper's Rite) in which Zadie intervened and stopped.  So now Zadie has to make a very difficult decision - she either has to take on the reaper and defeat him to save them both or allow the reaper to take Mara as fate intended.  Highly emotional read, you can really feel how much Zadie truly loves her sister and how she would do anything for her even knowing that Mara is somehow different after the coma.

I really feel for Zadie's character as she struggles through life and it is pretty easy to see that Mara is the more popular sister and the kids are always making comments to Zadie, so bullying is definitely a theme that runs through the novel.  But Zadie also faces normal teenage problems like having crushes and finding herself.  The plot was tense and fast-paced, keeping me on the edge of my seat while reading it!  I am now excited to read the second book "Tethered" :) 

***I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an open and honest review***

***My Personal Review of My Tethered Soul***

This book is definitely darker and much more sinister than the first book.  I really liked it because I LOVE dark and sinister though!  Now that Zadie knows she is not the normal teenager, she has her mentor but there are dark forces at work making her do terrible things.  Can Zadie overcome these forces and do the right thing?  And now on top of everything else, she also must decide whether to fight the reaper again for her own life or surrender.

Again, loved the character of Zadie - it is very easy for her to be made to do bad things but she has to fight it and redeem herself, figuring out who she REALLY is in the process.  The characters are always so real and you can relate to them and their situations even if they are living in a "magical" world of sorts.  Chase and Lilura are great teachers, but can they save Zadie from herself?  Once again Dreyer has led the reader on a great chase through a fast-paced whirlwind of action and leaving the reader to wonder what will happen at the end?  Of course I rooted wholeheartedly for Zadie to win, but you will have to read the book to find out!  All I can say is that there is room for more books in this series :)  Absolutely enjoyed both of these books and really cannot wait to see if there is a third coming out soon!

D-GAS Anti-Gas, Anti-bloating, Digestive Aid - Fast Acting Pills Review

D-GAS

#DGASNature

D-GAS WEBSITE

***My Personal Review***

This is possibly the best anti-gas product I have found yet!  I will admit it - I have a serious problem with gas LOL and it runs in the family.  And I get the nasty stomach aches and yucky feelings and of course the dreaded bloating :(  I normally use Tums and they work okay, normally takes about 1 hour to kick in and don't last long and don't always take it away.  D-Gas definitely worked miracles for me and helped take away my aches and stop the gas.  It's all vegetarian and all natural - which means NO CHEMICALS OR DRUGS.  That is always a plus for anyone!  They only took about 15 minutes to really kick in and take away all my pains and gas, so they worked much more quickly than anything I have tried before.  Another plus is that they took the gas away without causing me to be scared of being around people and having flatulence problems. 

I had no side effects from it, and didn't have to worry about whether I was eating or not - I could take it either way.  I would recommend anyone with GI issues to give this a try and see how it works for you.  If it worked for me it can help you because I have a TERRIBLE time with GI problems.  Anything that can help me out is a great product in my book!

Praise

“EJ Wesley has written a modern day Breakfast Club.”

“E.J. tells a college love story with a real life feel. He has created a flawed and pitiful character who quickly becomes a rallying point for all the other characters of the story. Ernie is the sort of boy I could easily imagine myself being friends with in college and cheered on through life in general, but certainly the story.”

“EJ’s tale of a college baseball star and the demons he fights is powerful and captivating. Once you’re involved in Ernest’s world, you are invested for the ride. Fans of this genre will say EJ hit it out of the park!” Alex J. Cavanaugh, Amazon bestselling author of the Cassa series

“Great cast of characters. Lots of fun humor. Romance. Win! Definitely recommend!”

 ”This is not so much a “coming of age” story, as it is a “coming of self.” I loved reading it”"It is an inspirational, heartwarming story in which any reader is likely to get lost.”

“This story made me laugh and cry and it was so great to read something sweet and awesome from a guy.”

“Perfectly Ernest offers an emotionally genuine tour through depression, friendship, and love.”

“It’s wonderful when a story’s voice is so strong as to drag you into someone’s head so it feels natural. I devoured Perfectly Ernest.”

“…captured my heart from page one.”

About the Author:

Growing up in small-town Oklahoma, there were limits on the amount and types of entertainment at my disposal. Perhaps that’s why I set my imagination free. After collecting degrees in psychology and counseling, life brought me to Missouri, Texas, and Northern California–where I currently read, write, and live. I fill my spare time playing video games, watching movies, planning for the zombie apocalypse, reading graphic novels, and playing with my dogs.

Excerpt:

“Please!” Stetson whispered urgently. “Get us out of here! This isn’t funny anymore!”

The Boogerman didn’t answer. It was beginning to look like every suspicion Stetson had about him was about to play out. Maybe he really was going to maroon Stetson in the Null Dimension. And to heap even more rotten onions on a moldy hot dog, he was marooned with his archenemy, Dana Coggins. Forever!

“Hey!” Stetson snapped, struggling to maintain control. “If you’re trying to make another point, you made it!”

Nothing.

Dana Coggins’ blubbering was getting fainter—he must be running in the opposite direction—while the ground-shaking approach of the monster was getting closer.

“All right!” Stetson said desperately. “I’ll help you write your autobiography. You need me to tell the world your side of the story!” He whirled around in a panic, frantically searching for any sign of the Boogerman’s acknowledging anything he’d just said.

Even though the beast was still quite a distance away, he could feel its hot, moist breath as it drew nearer. His clothes fluttered with each huge, putrid exhale. The worst bellowing cry yet came crashing down on him.

He screamed.
