***My Personal Review***

The BEST photo program I have ever encountered!  I have had Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, all the popular brands but DBGallery is awesome compared to those - it is without a doubt the easiest way I have found to keep and sort all my photos.  I have thousands of pics on my computer and I never have went through them and sorted them, so needless to say when I need to find something I have to go through 25 folders.  After downloading and installing the program it immediately asks if you want to start importing your photos and you can choose what you want in the program.  So it took about 30 minutes to import all of mine but that wasn't bad, it runs in the background without causing other programs to crash or slow down.  I didn't even know it was still running!

Another awesome aspect - GPS.  If your pics have a location embedded in them you can bring up a map of where ALL your pics are from!  So if you went to many different places and have pics from them all, this will sort them on the map - totally awesome :)  It also has a place where all of your images will be put onto the page and each will have it's own "information" above it.   There are just so many more parts of this program I haven't even been able to get to yet but from what I have seen you can edit your photos easily all in one place - and unlike some photo programs you don't have to go through and open each one every time - you import all your pics and it stores them and all you have to do is choose from the list :)  I think this program is amazing and I believe it could become the next great photo program, we just have to get the word out!

100% Natural Konjac Facial Sponge with Activated Bamboo Charcoal Review

CHARCOAL KONJAC SPONGE

#pureKonjacSponge

***My Personal Review***

When I got this in the mail the first thing I noticed was how tiny the box was and the sponge so at first I wasn't sure.  It was hard as a rock - literally looks like a charcoal briquette.  However, the instructions stated it would soften up completely in water.  So I took it out and rubbed it, it was actually very smooth and it has a little string attached to it.  I took it in the shower with me and I let the water run over it for just about a minute and then grabbed it and it was like HEAVEN!  Even though there is no soap in it, the sponge feels like it does have some kind of oil or soap in it and makes your skin feel amazing.

I don't wear a lot of makeup, basically just base so I rubbed it all over my face and neck and behind my ears.  It took all of the makeup off WITHOUT me having to use soap and it left my face feeling fresh and clean and there was no residue at all.  I loved it!  I am actually excited to get back in the shower tomorrow and use it again :)  That to me is the sign that it is a great product when I want to use it again.  Konjac was something I had not heard of and I didn't know what it was so I looked it up - it is actually a perennial plant that is indigenous to warm tropical regions like Asia.  From Wikipedia: Konjac has been known in Japan since the sixth century as a medicinal food, and it has been eaten for 1500 years. 

It is really hard to explain the feel of the sponge, but it wasn't like a normal run of the mill sponge that you would buy in the store and it definitely wasn't like the mesh scrubbers.  It is a little slippery in your hands, but to me that is a great thing because that just shows how soft it is on your skin.  I honestly think this would be an awesome product to use all over your body with your favorite soap (it would have to be bigger LOL but that could be done).  It isn't harsh like you would think by looking at it, but it definitely got the job done and took all the dead skin off and made my skin feel wonderful!  I would buy these again in a heartbeat.  I am really wanting to try some of their scented ones like cherry blossom :)  If they can get a sponge to work so well I can't imagine how wonderful the scented ones are.  Totally worth the money, go pick up about a dozen of these and try them!  You will NOT be disappointed!  Plus when you are done with it you can use it in composting!  How awesome is that for the earth?

***My Personal Review***

I found this a very intriguing book for all ages :) I loved the fact that even though Mindy didn't speak, you always knew what she was trying to say and understood! It takes place in a haunted house that they are living in, and although all of the kids realize it is haunted by something, Mindy is really the only one who seems to completely comprehend the mystery. I was amazed by the ending, and definitely think it left an opening for another book which is awesome, and I would most definitely read it! Very delightful read for kids, I think they will get a kick out of the fun and imagination that the kids in the book have :) I think it would also appeal to kids on a different level because it can show them that there are other ways of communication and it doesn't necessarily have to be spoken to get a point across. Totally loved, can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

NEW 80% HCA Pure Garcinia Cambogia Formula Review

Link to my review on Amazon:


PURE BODY NATURALS GARCINIA

#Garcinia

***My Personal Review***

This is a great formula of Garcinia for losing weight and getting healthy.  I have been on it for about 2 weeks and it has been helping reduce my cravings which are normally terrible and it has actually made me feel better in other ways as well.  I have tried a few of the OTC weight loss pills and they were HORRID.  One of them made me feel like I was having a heart attack and I was ready to go to the hospital until I realized what it was.  I hate those jittery feelings, I have enough anxiety already so to have a product that works well without those nasty side effects is amazing.  I don't know a lot about HCA but apparently it is a compound in Garcinia Cambogia and the more of this that is in the pill the better the product will work.  So Pure Body Naturals is 80% HCA - that is extremely high!

The product I received was 180 tablets which is a 45 day supply if you take it as recommended, which is 4 pills per day.  You can start with 1 pill a day and work up, see how it works for you and then tweak your dosage - but do not take more than the recommended dosage per day.  This product is also recommended by Dr Oz which gives me more faith in it as well because he is well known for being a health guru.  I have to say that I would recommend this product to others who are trying to lose weight and be able to say that it works without causing harm :)

Teaser



A few hours later I found myself deep in the Otherworld. The forest on the Dark side reminded me of my dreams before I knew what I was. Shadows clung to each crooked tree, wrapping so tightly it blurred the line of where one ended and the other began. Limbs kinked and twisted, curling into the night sky, only letting the moonlight beam down in rays through the branches. It was like the dark enchanted forest you always imagined in your head as a child, full of Grimm’s goblins and monsters. Except I was not afraid. Like the part of me that loved the forest of the Light, there was an even more dominate part that liked the forest of the Dark. The magic filled my lungs with dense air and sparked energy into my body.
