I love to read. I usually read Dean Koontz, John Saul, or Stephen King. I have been pretty loyal to those authors and never strayed..... until now. I was a bit skeptical because this book is not something I would normally read. I was anxious to receive it and once I did, I opened it immediately. Even though I am only halfway through the book, I cannot seem to put it down. When I am not reading it, I am thinking about it and the characters. I can relate to them and to what they are going through. This authors writing skills are amazing. It is very easy to read and I feel like I am part of the story, like I know these people personally. Although I am not done with this book, I could not wait to share my thoughts on this book. BRB, gonna go read!

Cat's Pride Cat Litter

    I have two cats. I have had cats my whole life. For some reason or another, I get stuck cleaning the cat box. :( I have tried many different types of litter, but I have come to like the clumping kind. It makes the box easier to clean and there is less odor. Not with this brand though. Not only is there a TON of dust, it does not clump as stated. There are many different types of litter in the #catspride brand. The one I purchased stated on the label, "Improved clumping." So not true. All I get are many bits and pieces from where the cats urine is. Normally, these clumps should be a lot bigger than a dime. I definitely would not purchase again. I have used the Aldi brand litter and I am happy with that kind. I thought by paying a couple bucks more would get me better litter.... not so.

I give this product:

#Wet & Wild by Fergie

     This by far has to be the BEST product I have used so far as far as face powders go. I don't know about you, but how many face powders have you bought only to bring it home and the color is NOT what you expected. If you are like me, you go back to the store to exchange it for a different shade only to find that one is wrong too! I have tried many "non-color" mattifying powders in the past. I was not thrilled with the results. Either they looked "cakey" or they clogged my pores so much I had breakouts. I was definitely skeptical about this but only because of the price. I know the saying, "You get what you pay for." Not in this case. My skin was so soft and smooth after applying it and no way shape or form did my face look "cakey" or "white" at all. I highly recommend this to anyone. It can be worn alone or over foundation.

Paula's Choice Acne System

This product is for anyone that has moderate to severe acne. It is for teens as well as adults. It comes in two strengths- normal and severe. I am a "Bzz Agent." What this means is that I am signed up at www.bzzagent.com. I get to take advantage of free products in exchange for "Buzzing" about them. That being said, this product is amazing. I have cystic acne. It is far worse than regular acne as they are not easily extracted from the face. I have tried many things over the years and nothing has removed them as this product has. It is similar to the Proactive system, being that it is a three step system. I thought this would be a pain in the butt since I am always in a hurry, but I took the time to do each step. After the first day I noticed a big difference. The cystic acne was less pronounced and they started to get a bit "harder" which made extracting them easier. I know you are not supposed to pop them for fear of a scar, but I get a scar if I pop them or not. So I had nothing to lose. My son has more severe acne. He has used the normal formula and it has been amazing to his face. His acne has become less pronounced and the redness is gone. The best part of this is that is does not dry out your face.

Revlon photoready foundation- liquid

Revlon's claim: "For poreless, airbrushed skin in any light. Photochromatic pigments that bend and reflect light to erase every flaw. Soft, luminous finish."


Revlon Photo Ready liquid foundation has got to be the BEST liquid foundation I have tried in years. I am so happy with the results that I continue buying this. Most foundations I have tried leave a sticky residue when they dry. This foundation dries to a powder finish like they claim. With a price ranging from $8.00 to $15.00, this is well worth the money. The coverage is excellent and you can add more if you like to increase the coverage without looking "made-up." I give this product:
