Max's Revenge by Sally Gould ebook review

 

   To be honest I felt left out of this great series! Even thought his is the first Max book, there are many to date!

    So here is what I learned about
    Max in Max's revenge by Sally Gould:

    Max is an average kid with an act for getting into trouble. Max and his older brother Charlie have come up with a new game were they test dad's patients and see who can get the farthest without getting in serious trouble or dad realizing that they are trying to get away with annoying him.

    Max also tries to figure out adults. Why does his uncle need a big wedding in a church? Why does his mother hope that his soon to be aunt Sophie has a baby when she complained that he was too much as a child?

    Reading Max's revenge reminded me of all the questions I had as a kid and how I found myself in to mischief... unintentionally of course.

    Max originally thought he was a shoe in for the pageboy at the wedding but is booted for unknown reasons. That is until Max figured out the only person who would out him on his streak of mischief would be his aunt Avril or aunt Evil as he likes to call her.

     In Max's revenge, Max deals with jealousy, punishment, a half alien brother and a flower girl he has a crush on. He learns a few tricks from some new uncles and you will enjoy plenty  of laughs while Max plots his revenge.

     I would recommend this book for ages 7-10 both boys and girls. My daughter(age 8) and myself found Max's spontaneous behavior to be extremely humorous and can not wait to read more. There are 139 real pages in this lovely first of book and You can get Max's Revenge on amazon.com for FREE RIGHT NOW!!! or $7.00 in paperback book at :

Max's Revenge by Sally Gould

Vegetarian Quick & Easy -Under 15 Minutes by Johnathan Vine and Tali Carmi recipe ebook review

       I  wanted to review this book in hopes to find meals I could substitute for meals containing. I did find a few that worked and found recipes that I could make with meat while not allowing the meat to be a major part of the meal, which I think is a step in the right direction.

     There are a lot of ingredients  that go into making one of these meals so if you are 1 or 2 ingredients short you can still have a good meal.

     The book is very interesting to look through  and is well written, definitely  worth a try, there is more then just salads, mousse , omelets, parfaits,sandwiches, soups, meals for parties, pasta sauces, burritos, tortillas, deserts like caramel apples. I can definitely  see myself keeping this book around especially on those long hot summer days were all I can think about is making a light no fuss nutritious  meal or meals that can be done in 15 minutes. 

     The introduction has a detailed description of what a Vegetarian really is and the benefits of being a vegetarian. You can also sign up to receive notifications on new books through the introduction. You can also go to Johnathan's website  http://www.myownveggieworld.com to see other recipes he has and to find out more about him.

     Down below I  have included the description I was given on the site where I applied for this promotion. I could honestly say it is true to a "t" and would recommend this book for people who love to cook, vegetarian, need quick meals and/or love trying different foods, also foodies who love to experiment. You can change one ingredient and the whole meal changes.

     The link to this wonderful book is below and I hope you at least check it out through the sample, or purchase it for $2.99 Kindle edition and 
it can also be purchased in paper back for $24.83. Both at :

Lalune naturals organic lip balm review

     I really loved the raspberry flavor along with the mint flavored lip balm that came in this 4 pack. I gave my friend a lip balm to test and she really loved the Vanilla. I really think that keeping an eye out for this company would be wise. I think 2 out of the 4 is not bad for a new product. I do think that the fact that they like to experiment with new flavors is great and will definitely separate them from competitors.

      I would say that my least favorite was the Asian pear, it had sort of a "old perfume smell". Sincerely unfortunate because I loved the smoothness and the moisture that this lip balm provided. I myself and my minions (my daughters) really lived the the raspberry and actually fought over it. The second favorite was the mint which I saved for "special occasions" My secret and special occasions for mint lip balms is FIELD TRIPS and long car or train rides. I figured out that mint chap stick or lip balms cuts carsickness and "yellow bus" and even "long car ride" sickness. Although the names of my diagnosis may not be professional, the events and emotions certainly are.

     I as an adult and as a mother has learned to cherish and share anything with a minty scent in a car ride. A soothing refreshing scent that was much cherished among my daughters and myself.

     Lalune naturals organic lip balm is a certified organic beeswax lip balm . There are only 7 ingredients Non-GMO, Non-Toxic, Gluten Free lip balm which makes it very extremely simple. One of the simplest lip balms I have seen. Over all I loved the product and I do believe that I will wait until they either allow you to pick the lip balms you want in your pack or have a pack more to my taste. I would also love to see flavors such as lemon, blueberry and lemon, mocha, caramel. I mean other then the obvious cherry and strawberry. You can purchase Lalune natural organic lip balm at amazon with this direct link for $11.99 :

Colore Art 26-Piece Drawing Set review

"You don't have to be a great sketcher to get started. All you need is some creativity and an open mind.
You need a sketching pencil set that can enhance your creativity to a new level"
                                                                                                                     -Colore Art




     I was given Colore Art 26-Piece Drawing Set for free in exchange for a honest review. I honestly LOVED these pencils, the only thing I didn't like was that they only came in one color instead of multiple colors. I say this because I like to color with colors, but I enjoyed using Colore solely and mixing it with color pencils I already own. I had no problems using these pencils.

     They are well made and are extremely smooth, I experienced no loose pieces of charcoal or "bumps in my drawings and rough sketches. Also my pencils didn't break under my daughter or my own usage. I tried to use techniques that I have learned over the years to show the abilities of these pencils and I hope that I did it justice. I brought a drawing notebook specifically for the usage of these pencils and I am pleased with my experience.

     It does come with a chart that shows you exactly the "hardness" of each pencil in a color chart, which is helpful if you don't really know or forget which pencil to use for shading or shaping your images. My favorite part was sitting down, having a moment and feeling like a real artist with a proper pencil set. I used the 3 charcoal pencils and the 3 charcoal sticks the most (mostly because they made me feel more artsy). I also liked the graphite pencil and the organization of the case. I liked how the pencils felt in my hand and I also liked the 2 sharpeners one for the pencils and one for the sharpeners.







     My daughter and myself tried very hard to do a #30dayartchallenge but unfortunately we became very popular, highly demanded (for school projects) and have to still prepare and study for state tests. I limited my time to 30 minutes to complete my challenge of the day and I am pretty proud of myself. I am no longer as good as I use to be, but I can still make my daughters say "wow". And that my folks is good enough for me :) .


So for your viewing pleasure here are pictures of my art work :

Lemon & Peppermint & Lavender Essential Oils Review.

    

     I was given Natural Products Inc Peppermint and Lavender essential oils for free to test in exchange for an honest review.

      I really like the peppermint essential oil and can say that it has been a pleasure using this scent. I tried to use this essential oil as other people use it but found only one way that I could really say that I could and would use it.

      I placed 6 drops of this peppermint oil inside our humidifier. My daughters ages 8 and 6 and myself live in a big city and suffer greatly from allergies. By placing this peppermint oil inside of the humidifier we are able to get a good nights sleep and feel refreshed and not congested in the morning. I will tell you now I am not a doctor and this was the first time I used a product like this.

      I like peppermint because it is invigorating and opens up the lungs and soothes you. I would put a few drops of peppermint oil on a paper towel and place it in a zip lock bag for people that get motion sickness. I usually carry around a peppermint flavored chapstick or something of the sort so I can smell it, but doing this with the oil would also work well.

     Unfortunately I didn’t like the Lavender oil, I don’t know if it was this one or just in general, but this particular one smelled earthy to me. I did try to mix it with the peppermint oil in the humidifier to see if it would affect our sleeping habits and relax us more but I didn’t notice any change. I also am still waiting for the lemon to be shipped, they were out when the other products were sent out.

Guy Erma and the Son of Empire by Sally Ann Melia book review

    Guy Erma and the Son of Empire is a story of a new world fighting against plague, civil war and political power, that is well.... not thinking in the best interest of the public. Oh, and they have to defend 12 other planets in their domain also.

     There are two 13 year old boys that lead this story. Prince Teodor, still counts the days since his father's death and is not ready to accept his fate to be king. And is forced to grow up fast in a world within worlds were plagues and violence from aliens, pirates and vicious feuds are as frequent as a passing star.

     Which is what another boy Erma wishes on. He is an orphan who is forced to live in slum and wants nothing more then to become a member of the Dome Elite. A high honor rewarded greatly for the dangers of keeping the worlds safe. Both boys find themselves forced to impress one man in order to become what they feel they are destined to be and are thrown together and become unlikely friends.

     This Sci-fiction adventure is the first book in a new series, it was released in November of last year 2014. It is a fast paced adventurous novel that is well written, well thought out and has a character for everyone.  I would recommend it for 15 year olds and over and definitely anyone who loves parallel universes, hidden agendas and under dogs.

     You can purchase Guy Erma and the Son of Empire by Sally Ann Melia on amazon.com. The Kindle Edition is currently $0.99, it is free to borrow on Kindle unlimited. This book can also be purchased in hard cover and paper back. You are given an option to read a sample of the book before you buy it also, just look for the sample button on the right side near the purchase button. It is well written and there is a character for everyone. Let me know what you think.

Abigail and the Tropical Island Adventure by Tali Carmi ebook review

  I really enjoyed all of Abigail adventures but I think this is my favorite.

    Abigail and the tropical island adventure is the newest addition  to the series and definitely shows how Abigail has grown in character, as a girl and is definitely following in the footsteps of her grandfather who is the scientist and inventor of the red bicycle ad magical book that Abigail takes all her adventures on.

    This is my favorite book because Abigail gets a little more creative at problem solving. At first I was a little taken back on how Abigail created a GENERATOR  to restore power to a tent party but I quickly recovered, laughed and saw my 6 year old daughter who also loves to invent and is a little scientist herself, really intrigued and asking me to read that part again and explain what exactly she did.

     I enjoy how Abigail is growing and starting  to show traits of her grandfather and I am sure there are many more books to follow.
    Maybe there can be one where Abigail and her grandfather go somewhere together, a new place or some where he enjoyed going to when he traveled. Or maybe Abigail could convince her skeptical  grandmother to go on a magical trip to real places! I really enjoyed this book and would recommend  it to little adventures who love to travel, learn about new thing and places and for little inventors, they might just have a new hero or companion  in this little red headed girl named Abigail  ;)








You can purchase Abigail and the Tropical Island Adventure on Amazon.com for $1.00 on kindle, free for kindle unlimited and $9.95 for the paper back large print. With such a fun story line and vibrant colors you will definitely enjoy this book!
