Revenge of the Vegetarian Book Review

About the Author:
Jim Tilberry has his tongue firmly planted his cheek while taking a humorous spin at a variety of easy targets. He gives you a silly lesson on how to deal with meat eaters in social situations. You will read humorous interviews with famous deceased vegetarians such as Gandhi, Socrates, and Ben Franklin. There is even a comical look at how the English language would change if an overly zealous vegetarian politician got his way.
Revenge of the Vegetarian also poses a lot of "what ifs". Things like: What if there was a "Vegetarian Olympics"? What if vegetarians ruled the country? And what would a vegetarian horoscope tell you about your future. You will also learn some laughable techniques meat eaters can use to to easily quite their carnivorous habits.
"Revenge" pokes fun at vegans, vegetarians, conservatives, and liberals. But the book pokes the most fun at meat eaters. This short story book is perfect for any vegetarian of even the veggie wannabe's with a sense of humor.
Revenge of the Vegetarian is paperback with just 70 pages. It a quick and easy read. If you are looking for a good read, check out Revenge of the Vegetarian. Book is available on Amazon.

Ecover - All Purpose Cleaner Review

About Ecover:
"While we're dying to give you all the juicy details of our 30 year history, we know the real reason you're here: 
You've got loads of dirty laundry.
The windows could use a wash.
And the dishwasher is full.
Maybe you're thinking you need the crazy chemicals to really get the job done, but we know how to do it with powerful plant-based and mineral ingredients.  Give us your worst and we'll give you our best - state of the art, clean-running factories that churn out terrific cleaners.  That's the heart of our business.
Bring us home with you; you can feel safe having us around.  And trust that we'll never go against our nature."

My Review:

Ecover has great products. They are natural, no harsh chemicals and they are safe to use, even around children and pets. This is the All Purpose Cleaner from Ecover

The All Purpose Cleaner is safe on all washable surfaces, has a fresh fragrance from plant based ingredients and is very effective. It is also has quick and complete biodegradability, minimal impact on the aquatic life, the product has not been tested on animals (all Ecover products are animal cruelty free), and it is safe for septic tanks. 

I love that the product is concentrated so you don't need much when it comes to cleaning. So far I have used the product on my hardwood floors. I wanted to find something that was effective and didn't "stink" like a lot of other products out there. Pine-Sol is one of them... I mean Pine-Sol is ok when it comes to cleaning, but the thing that I can not stand is the smell that it leaves when it is being used. It's strong, full of all of these nasty chemicals and I honestly don't think it's good to use at all. That's just my opinion, lol.

With the Ecover All Purpose Cleaner it is a lot better. There is no harsh smell, it's more faint then anything. The cleaner is concentrated so you don't need much when it comes to cleaning. The instructions tell you how much you will need, even for the toughest messes. My floors look so much better now. They look healthier and feel smoother. I really enjoy using the Ecover's All Purpose Cleaner.

Thymes Review - Juniper Berry & Sandalwood Diffuser

Thymes has dedicated themselves the enhancing the quality in your everyday life. They transform you with quality fragrances that fit your home. They sell a range items such as candles, diffusers, lotions, moisturizers, bubble bath and more.

This is the Juniper Berry and Sandlewood Diffuser

Included in the Diffuser kit is the vase, wooden sticks and the fragrance oil

To be honest, I didn't know what to do with the product. I thought that the whole bottle was to be pored into the vase, put the sticks in and done. Well, I was a bit off, lol. All I needed was just a tad of the fragrance and then added the sticks. The more sticks the stronger the scent becomes. I added about 8 sticks. The photo below has more though just to give you a "picture" of what the Diffuser looks like, lol. 

Let me tell you, this stuff is strong. It's concentrated, lasts a long time and it smells a-m-a-z-i-n-g. In my opinion it smells manly. My husband enjoys the smell. I had to place the diffuser in the kitchen so every time anyone would walk into the kitchen you would smell the oh mighty greatness =)

The smell lasts a whole, but if you want the room to smell stronger all you have to if flip the sticks every hour or so. I've had this diffuser for almost a month now and I still have the same oil in the vase and a bottle full. 

The stuff is great. It's appealing, fragrant and very stylish =)

Monkey Balm Review

About Monkey Balm:
Megan is a mother of three boys and each of them have terribly dry-skin and eczema. Her children would scratch and itch their skin to the point they would bleed. Living up in the mountain west was not much help either especially with the super dry climate and the extreme temperature swings.

Megan had tried every over the counter and prescription cream and nothing seemed to help her little ones. Then she found out about Sea Buckthorn Oil. The Buckthorn Oil is used in many luxury Asian and European skin care products and natural skin treatments because of its unique power to heal damaged skin and protect it from the elements.
Megan and her husband began to experiment with simple and effective methodes to deliver such miraculous oil to the sensitive skin of their children. After a few years of trial and error they finally nailed the perfect recipe. Monkey Balm is the culmination of many different formulas and different application methods.  The combination is effective and a "no-stingy" formula. The main ingredients of course is sea buckthorn fruit and seed oils, and a simple easy to use application "stick" that will last longer than any cream or salve.
It is important to Megan and her family to use the only most natural, safe and chemical free products and food. The ingredients in Monkey Balm are 100% natural. The sea buckthorn oils are 100% CERES certified organic and it comes from a sustainalbe, fair-trade source in the Himilayan mountains.
Although the product has been specially made mild and safe for kids, it can be used for newborns and adults as well. You can use Monkey Balm for dry skin, cracked heels and knuckles, scrapes and burns, and even insect bites.

Visit Monkey Balm's website. Each tube is $15.95

Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls Book Review and Giveaway

Naughty is the new Nice..

That’s the mantra and message of the new “tell-all” how-to paperback, physical book from beauty maestro Dimitri James. In Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls, James creates a new kind of finishing school–one for nice girls who always finish anywhere but first.

Tired of seeing the many “nice girls” in his life constantly overlooked, James, a celebrity makeup artist, style guru and television personality, offers a lively and entertaining read full of actionable tips and tricks, showing you how to get whom and what you want.

Those open the book will learn how to look classy, not trashy, trading the prim, proper uniform of “safe” clothing, makeup and hair for something sexier and more inviting, but still situation-appropriate. “You would be surprised how many women don’t know how to use clothes and makeup to market themselves in various social or professional settings,” says James. “‘Nice’ girls are invisible, and ‘trashy’ ones go over the top. ‘Naughty’ is the happy medium that pushes the envelope without crossing the line.”

Thus, James challenges the traditional connotations of the word “naughty” and redefines it as a spirit that can change both image and self-perception for the better. In chapters that range from “Naughty at Work” to “Naughty First Date” to “Naughty Traveler” and “Yummy Mommy,” the author shows readers how to dress outside the box and re-vamp their beauty regimens to add sizzle to their style for all seasons and occasions.

Flip open the physical book to almost any page and find a small gem of wisdom, or a stunningly clear depiction of “nice” vs. “naughty” vs. “trashy,” all sprinkled with James’ trademark wit, candor and spirit of camaraderie.

Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls is loaded with makeup and fashion advice to empower a Nice Girl to transform herself into a spicy but classy woman in every situation. So, go ahead and channel your inner naughty. Instead of fading into the background, become a star in your own life!

Also, Dimiri is having a Book Signing coming up as well as an appearance on Good Morning America.

Walk In Sync Giveaway

Walk In Sync Giveaway July 18~July 31

We are so proud to welcome you to the Walk In Sync Giveaway Event 

hosted by Schmoozing With Betsy

Special thank you to Walk In Sync for sponsoring this fantastic event & co-host Book Cover Justice

Before I let you know my experiences with Walk In Sync, please enjoy the short video by clicking here.

 Walk In Sync™ Intro Video 

click above

About Walk In Sync
Alecia Evans designed the Walk In Sync system to make the dogs and their pet humans less stressed when out walking. Since 2001, Alecia has been a professional trainer. She believed there had to be a better more humane way to train your dog to walk with you, to stop the pulling and frustration for both the dog and the dog owner.

I was a bit skeptical to try  this harness and leash combo. I have tried everything to have my dogs
walk with me and not against me. I love my dogs, Watson and Lily so much, but, it was always stressful trying to go for walks with them. Watson and Lily love to lead. They are half German Shepherd and half Golden Retrievers weighing 85 plus pounds, so, needless to say, they walked me!

I tried everything, took them to doggy behavior school where they had me first fit them with choke chains, but, they continued to pull to get to the other dogs so they could play. Wouldn't you know I had to have the class clowns! The instructor there then fitted them with the "torture" collars. I don't know what they are called professionally, but, they have rounded spikes that dig into the dogs necks...I couldn't bare hurting them to have them walk with me. I want them to enjoy walking not have pain from it.

The next thing I tried was the leash that also goes up and around the nose. Ohhhh, they didn't like that at all! In fact, it says to let them have their temper tantrum and then they will see that you are boss and they will get used to it. My dogs are more stubborn than the dogs in that video. My poor Watson would walk a little bit and then rub his nose with his paw and on the ground so much that when we got home he had a raw and tender spot on his nose.

frustrated and searching the web, I saw the Walk In sync site and decided to write to Alecia, who was kind enough to provide me with the Walk In Sync system! Thank you Sweetie.

I was so excited when they came in. I was amazed at how well made they are! I fitted them to my dogs and off we went. Lily is a fast learner. When she pulled and I stopped, she would sit down and wait, Watson was another story, he kept wanting to pull but was getting nowhere, so after about 2/3 hour of working with him, he understood!

Now, walking is fun and enjoyable for all of us. Finally a system that didn't hurt my precious companions!

Prep Steps to Walking In Sync

1. Begin by clipping the leash to the D-ring at the chest
2. Slide your hand closest to the dog up the Accu-grip leash to the foam handle closest to the leash clip
3. Place your opposite hand through the loop
4. Drop your shoulders, take a deep breath and relax and leave your hand on the 1st handle relaxed by your side

Walk In Sync™ in 3 Easy Steps:

1. Begin by walking forward with your hand remaining at your side
2. Stop
3. If your dog is creating tension on the leash, it is important not to relieve them of the tension. Just stand still and wait in a relaxed manner. No need to even look at your dog until it takes the pressure off the leash on its own. Once they back up to the proper position, give it a pat on its side and let him or her know what a good dog they are.

Go back to Step 1:

1. Repeat a few times until the dog has the concept of moving or backing off of the pressure points.
