Hiding in Sunshine is the work of a father and daughter duo who reside in the immediate area where these fictional events transpire. John Stuart is a successful high tech entrepreneur. Caitlin Stuart is a student and an aspiring writer with a lifelong love of reading and telling stories. This is their first co-authored novel -- and is proof that a teenager and her dad can indeed collaborate amicably and productively!  $19.95 for paperback copy on Amazon.com

MY THOUGHTS: I absolutely was surprised when I finally finished this book. I am a daily reader and have read hundreds of books and I have to say this one was quite interesting! It started off a tad bit slow but by chapter 3 it was pretty much into details and I was hooked. The plot was intriguing and made it hard to put down. I often found my self making spare time just so I can get in another chapter or two. Not to mention it pro-treys real life events that could or possible have happened to someone. It makes it that much more desirable because the factual content is relate able to today's living. With all that being said this was a fantastic book and will remain in my library or even be passed on to fellow book readers so they can enjoy the Father Daughter Duo, "Hiding in Sunshine", as I did. Thank You again to the Father and Daughter duo, who made this as spectacular as it is!(John Stuart & Caitlin Stuart)

MY THOUGHTS: I had the pleasure of setting up a Free 30 minute consultation with one of the Best buy's most infamous members of the Geek Squad. I was pretty excited seems how I am the least computer/device literate person ever!!!! It is surprisingly extremely helpful. I did not expect much from the consultation and figured I would not learn much more than I already knew. My standards were not very high in the beginning. Although, when I showed up to the visit, right off the bat, the gentlemen was just a people person/pleaser. He actually made me feel very comfortable, when he realized I just realized I know absolutely nothing about my device. Yikes. He basically showed me a whole new device through the one I have been using. I had been missing out on so many features. I could not hep but to think, I need to make a consultation appointment for every device I have. lol I was thrilled to see how much educated he was as well as very professional. I highly recommend the Geek Squad services for any technology reasons possible. I loved it and can not grasp the idea of not having them around to help me out. Its like a personal device assistant. haha..... Anyways I was happy to say, the conference area, location, customer service and over all experience was FABULOUS and FREE. They do offer more detailed classes as well for a small fee, but I for the amount of knowledge and advice they give you, its well worth it. Oh yes one more thing, Not all Best Buy locations have this helpful services so make sure you look up your local Best Buy and make an appointment NOW!!!!

Bursting with healthy goodness, our thick crushed Raspberry and Mango smoothie delight will leave you with fresher, cleansed and softer skin. Lavishly apply and treat your skin to a pore cleansing, sensational awakening.
 
HOW TO USE: Cleanse with warm water only. Apply evenly over face and neck with fingertips, avoiding eyes and lips. Lie back and relax for 10-15 minutes, or until dry. Rinse off with warm water. Pat dry. Use weekly.

MY THOUGHTS: I don't know about you but I love to try out different mask, whether it be a peel off, mud, or just paste, I want to try it!Not to mention all the different brands out there right now offering great Facial Masks! So when I saw this in my VoxBox, I was thrilled to try it as soon as possible, I'm pretty sure it was that same night! :) I have previously had the pleasure of trying the peel of mask by Montagne Jennesse, which by the way, was the best peel off I have tried in a while. :) So with that being said, I was super excited about the Fruit Smoothie Mask with Raspberry and Mango. Lets start with the texture was normal, but in a good way. I mean the texture of a face mask does not vary that much unless there are beads or what not, which in this case there was not! The smell right off the bat was like OH MY GOODNESS! It smelled so amazingly sweet and fruity, I would have drank it or maybe eaten it!! But instead I choose to apply it to my face! :) LOL It had applied smooth and dried very fast. I left it on for about 15 minutes maybe a little longer since I got carried away in doing my chores, while waiting for it to dry! I like to use a warm wash cloth and a bowl of warm water to wash any mask off, so that's what I did with this one as well. It removed very quickly and left my skin soooo soft and shiny. But shiny like clean skin! It was so amazing to touch. I kept telling my boyfriend, hunny just touch my face, doesn't it feel like baby's skin???? LOL he doesn't know what the heck im taking about, so I don't know what I asked him so many times! :) I would highly recommend this mask especially since its under $2.00 and I got 2 uses out of one pouch! It did not take much to cover my face nor do you need to apply a thick layer! I can not wait to try the other Masks from Montagne Jennesse.

Goody QuikStyle Half-Round Styler Brush Review

 

 NEW! The Goody® QuikStyle Half-Round Styler Brush:

  It's like a towel and brush in one and I was one of lucky few who received this product complimentary to test through Influenster’s  Holiday VoxBox program. 

Please go become a member now! You are missing out on all these great Goody products and Goody product reviews!

QuikStyle Half-Round Styler Brush

The Goody QuikStyle Half-Round Styler Brush offers the same water-removing benefits of the QuikStyle Paddle Brush in a new styling shape. Super absorbent microfiber bristles interact with wet hair like a towel removing 30% of water, while the half-round shape makes it the perfect blow-out brush. ($12.99)

The GOODY® QUIKSTYLE Paddle brush works like a towel and brush in one. The super absorbent (and antimicrobial) microfiber removes 30% of water from wet hair to help speed your drying time! You can effortlessly detangle right out of the shower and continue using it while you blow dry!

 

HOW TO USE:

Use it out of the shower to detangler, remove excess water, and style with or without a blow-dryer. The convex half-round shape allows hair to curl around the microfiber base, removing water while adding lift and body as you blow-dry. The Comfort-flex grip and slim profile offer ease and control during your styling routine. Go from wet to beautifully styled hair faster than ever!

                                                                       

 

MY THOUGHTS: This was probably the most exciting item I received in my Holiday VoxBox from Influenster this year! I have the thickest, most heaviezst mane ever! Its water attainability is actually almost a battle every blow dry. Not to mention if I do not use a round brush on my hair I would look like I stuck my hand in a light socked but with out the static. Just poofy and large and over the top, literally! :) This was going to be exciting for me, I might have a cure for my hair catastrophe. It was lined with this blues me-shy, towel like fabric which is suppose to absorb the water better, which it did! It took me half the time to blow dry using this brush rather than using my old traditional round brush. I used it just like I would use any typically round or half round brush, taking into consideration my new GOODY brush was i only half round, I was able to work with it and got it down to a T. I was worried it would rip my hair out if I tried brushing while wet, but it was like a detangler as well. It left my hair with a silky smooth look but full of volume. I was able to achieve exactly what I wanted and more from the Goody Quicksyle Brush! I can wait to get the flat one as well! Thanks again Influenster!

HOW TO VIDEO:

 

 MY THOUGHTS: Coming from someone who loves Gel nails, I have to say of course, I was skeptical when I first received this product, but I figured what the heck, lets give these bad boys a try! They were so dang cute! I thought if these work this could be a serious addiction, LOL.. Lets start with price: My usually nail day can cost up to $65 for polish that only lasts a week or two. Not to mention you have to use remover to get it off, after it chips. Well the nail dress is around $7 and lasted the seem amount of time and there was no clean up afterwards! There was no hassle, no waiting at the spa nope... This product was a lifesaver. I was done with all 10 nails in 15 minutes & didn't need to worry about smudges. I did follow up the next day with a clear top coat to be safe.It lasted for almost 2 weeks, then started to crack & show nail growth. I absolutely love these and all there fun designs. I can not imagine ever applying polish in a hurry, let alone stressing about getting them done in time! Check them out, you will be amazed!
