It is used to help decrease the looks of aging. It helps plump and give skin a more luminous, youthful appearance. Smooths fine lines and fills wrinkles.

I found that Oz Hyaluronic Acid Serum was very easy to use. You can use it both in the morning and before bed, but it is strong so I would first just use it one time a day. You wash your face and then apply a thin layer - in this case less is more. Then right after you are finished use a good moisturizer. The serum will help pull the moisturizer deep into your skin. Here are some of the benefits of using OZ Hyaluronic Acid Serum:

  • Delivers a youthful and vibrant appearance to your skin
  • Reduces the appearance of dark circles and puffiness
  • Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Formulated with the highest concentration of pharmaceutical HA
  • Contains the same HA used in the world’s most expensive serums
  • Boosts Collagen Production For An Instant Youthful Appearance
  • Made in the USA

My skin is a bit sensitive so I only used the serum once a day. I have noticed that under my eyes the puffiness is going down and that my skin looks a bit clearer. I have only used OZ Hyaluronic Acid Serum for a short time but I can see that with continued use my skin will look and feel younger. If you would like to purchase OZ Hyaluronic Acid Serum you can do so HERE on Amazon.com.

The “Bling” Fairies of Junkett Falls Brings Quirky Creatures to Life

Maureen Sky weaves a magical tale with breathtakingly beautiful illustrations

Bernardston, MS - Featuring tiny creatures that live with people jewelry, Maureen Sky’s artful book is a fantastical world conjured up for the perusal of readers. Exploring valuable lessons in life as well as emotions and several virtues that make the journey life-affirming, The Bling Fairies of Junkett Falls is an entertaining and enlightening read.

Inspired by the author’s knowledge about Bakelite jewelry, Bling Fairies are little creatures that thrive within jewelry boxes. One of them is Velvy, a young teenage fairy preparing to do a “spin” – a coming-of-age event akin to graduation that is all about honor, respect and accomplishment. Along the way, she encounters some very hard situations, but she does not face them alone, for the others come to her aid to help. The colorful illustrations provide the perfect visual that definitely makes this story come to life. Humorous and vibrantly written, The Bling Fairies of Junkett Falls is no ordinary fantastical tale, for it teaches some very valuable lessons in a brilliantly depicted, unique world.

This book is a testament to the notion that people must look for the humor in everything, and that looking at things differently might just provide the kind of clarity needed to thrive in life’s springs. The Bling Fairies of Junkett Falls is a fun and memorable read perfect for sharing within the family.

About the author:
Maureen Sky is a wife, a mother, and a grandmother, who lives in Bernardston, Massachusetts with her husband, Eddie, and their male tiger cat, Grueby. Now retired, she has always been very creative throughout her life – sewing and painting, having won ribbons at local county fairs for her crafts, paintings and others. She worked many years in the public sector as a school secretary for two local high schools. Just recently, she has taken another creative path to become an author. The Bling Fairies of Junkett Falls is her first written book, illustrated by her as well.

New Book Reviewer:

I am so excited!! I have someone new helping me with book reviews. My niece Jonah from Stevens Point Wisconsin will be helping me do reviews. She loves to read ~ Grandma Peters would be so thrilled to know that you read like you do! Here is her first review.

Jonah’s Review:

The Bling Fairies of Junkett Falls is a book that is geared for the 8-12 year old audience. It is a whimsical adventure of the fairies that reside in our jewelery boxes.

The Bling Fairies has imaginative and creative characters. I like the ideas for the story lines. However, the stories are so intermingled that it makes the book confusing to follow. I think the chapter layout the author portrayed is a great idea but perhaps have one book per fairy and their adventures with the other fairies playing a lesser role until their own book and make it into a series. I applaud the imagination of this book taking on a viewpoint of fairies within our jewlery and will think of it as I put on my own jewelry.

Jonah received a Copy of this book from the author for purpose of honest review. She was not compensated for the review, and the review is honest.

Seagrass-Pier-e1400086545129About the book:

In a secluded corner of Hope Beach, one woman must decipher a stranger’s memories . . . before they cost her everything.
Elin Summerall was one of the lucky ones. Not only did she get a heart transplant, but the donor was a perfect fit. A miraculously perfect fit.
But when Elin begins having violent flashbacks—and vivid dreams of being strangled—she realizes that she has been the recipient of more than just a new heart . . . Elin is remembering her donor’s murder.
Her strange affliction has attracted some unwanted attention: from the press, from the authorities . . . and from the killer himself. Now, living alone with her young daughter and aging mother, Elin is being stalked—by a man she’s only met in her nightmares.
The police are dubious of her story, but one off-duty FBI agent is eager to help her: Agent Marc Everton, the father of Elin’s daughter.
Of course, he doesn’t know about that. Yet.
Now, in a remote cottage on Hope Island, Elin and Marc must probe the secrets buried in her borrowed heart. And there’s no time to waste. One man is desperate to silence her—before she remembers too much.

My Review:

Great story! I could not put the book down once I started. Elin had a heart transplant. She had awful dreams and they were of being strangled. That is how the person died who gave her their heart. Only they didn’t know who the murder was. Elin told the police about her dreams but they didn’t take her seriously. The murder did though. He started stalking her. Marc was from the FBI and he wanted to help. Only there was a secret that Elin was keeping from him. You will want to read Seagrass Pier to find out what happens.

REBEL WITH A CAUSE?

Justin Morant can’t believe he answered an online dating ad! Turns out, beautiful Mackenzie Hawthorne is looking for a ranch foreman, not a husband. Good thing, because marriage isn’t in the injured bull rider’s future. Justin is happy to take up the cause of saving the Hanging H ranch—and then there’s the bonus of playing stand-in father to the sexy single mom’s four angelic newborns.

Mackenzie doesn’t know what miracle brought Justin to Bridesmaids Creek, Texas, but she’d be a fool to fall for the hunky cowboy who wears his rebel status like a badge of honor. Justin’s a natural with her daughters and a whiz at ranching…yet one day she knows he’s going to gallop off into the sunset. Unless, of course, the marriage-minded townspeople get their hands on him!

Now enjoy an excerpt:

Justin leaned against a post, crossed his arms. “Why are you so interested in Mackenzie’s welfare?”

“It’s not just her. It’s you, too. And Bridesmaids Creek, if you really want to know.”

“You’re trying to bring men into Bridesmaids Creek.” Justin shook his head. “They have a matchmaker here, you know. Aren’t you kind of bumping the competition?”

“Just giving the matchmaker some material to work with.”

“Why?” Justin’s curiosity was getting the best of him.

“You’d had to have grown up here to understand.” Ty shrugged. “The Haunted H was a great draw. Lots of jobs were lost when the Hawthornes had to close it down.”

“That’s what this is all about? Bringing jobs back to your hometown?”

“Not exactly.” Ty wouldn’t meet his gaze.

“Oh, I get it.” Justin thought he suddenly saw into the cracks of his buddy’s mercurial brain. “You’re trying to find a man for Mackenzie.”

Ty shrugged. “It’s complicated.”

“Not that complicated.” Justin snorted. “When did you decide to play guardian angel to Mackenzie?”

“Since I was the guy with the not-too-swift idea of setting her up with her ex. My onetime good buddy, who turned out to be a weasel of epic proportions.”

Justin stared at his friend. “Have you ever considered that maybe Mackenzie doesn’t want another husband?”

Ty snorted. “Don’t be silly. She’s a woman. A woman needs a husband to feel complete.”

“I’m not sure I ever saw this chauvinistic side of you before.”

“Yes, you did. You just didn’t recognize it, because you and I were thinking alike.” Ty laughed. “Don’t worry, good buddy. I’m not including you in my plan. Just the opposite. I’m clearing you out to make room for some cowboys who don’t wear the rebel badge as enthusiastically as you do.”

If being a hard-baked bachelor earned him that honor, he supposed he’d go with the rebel badge of honor. “And that’s why I’m being dragged on a recruiting tour? You want me out of the way so your matchmaking has a better chance of succeeding?”

“Look. The idea came to me after I’d sent you here.” Ty looked at him patiently. “I realized that Mackenzie didn’t just need help bringing back the old place—she needs a husband and a father to those children. I’m the man who fixed her up with the loser, so I’m going to put it right.”

“Why don’t you just put your own neck into the marriage noose and save everybody some agony if you feel so guilt-ridden?”
Ty put up his hands as if to ward off the very idea. “My conscience is guilty but not stupid.”

Justin stared at his friend. It was true. Ty wasn’t husband material.

Neither was he.

Justin sighed heavily. “I think you’re nuts. But whatever. It’s not my town. Nor are these my friends.”

Ty brightened. “So you’ll do it? The lead stallion agrees to head off and leave the pen to the lesser junior stallions?”

“You make it sound like Mackenzie’s ever looked my way twice in a romantic way, which I can assure you she hasn’t. We haven’t spoken that much since I’ve been here.”

“Call it a hunch. Clearing out the pen, as they say. The ladies always want the one they can’t have. Mysterious types seem romantic. Like Zorro.”

Justin shrugged. “I think you took one too many falls off the mechanical bull, Ty, but whatever. I’ll go with you,” he said, “but you better hope Mackenzie never finds out what you’re up to. I have the feeling that little lady doesn’t think she needs any man to rescue her.”

“Mechanical bull! I was no dime-store cowboy,” Ty said, following Justin as he headed back to work. Justin couldn’t stand around examining the holes in his friend’s head any longer. Mackenzie hadn’t given one signal that she might be interested in him in more than a foreman–boss lady relationship.

Still, he had a slightly uneasy feeling about leaving her to the romancing of the Three Dating Daddies—a thought that totally brought him up short.

That’s what one of those men might become: a dad to Mackenzie’s four little girls.

Maybe the most troubling thought of all.

I know that I have talked a lot about Argan Oil but I really think that it is great. It helps rejuvenate your skin and hair and also excellent for relieving the symptoms of eczema, acene and psoriasis. This wonderful oil is rich in essential fatty acids, Vitamin E, and Omega 3-6-9, which are all vital to your skin. Our body “loves” this oil and absorbs it quickly, leaving no greasy residue, just a moist and nourished skin. It is also really healthy for your hair, making it stronger, more vibrant, and lustrous.

I recently tried some Argan Oil from Argan Alchemy. I used it on Shadow my cat. I know that sounds weird ~ shIMG_0209e is allergic to flea bites and I took her in to get fixed. After bringing her home she was scratching. I put a fresh dose of flea medicine on her - but she soon had sores and lost some hair from scratching so much. I thought if Argan Oil was good for me it would help sooth her sores and help relieve the itch. After a few days I notice she wasn’t scratching as much and her skin was healing. Now I am not sure if it is recommended to use this oil on animals but I hated seeing her suffer and I knew how good it was for me. She is now back to her old self. Sores are healed and hair is all back.

I also use Argan Oil on my hair ~ I think it helps it look less frizzy and helps keep it soft. If you would like to buy your own Argan Alchemy Argan Oil you can do so HERE on Amazon.com. Use this code upon check out for $5 off GLFV45YX. I am sure you will find lots of uses for it.

I saw on a show I was watching that it has always been considered a incredible health benefit. They said it was a natural arthritis treatment for joint pain and relief. Turmeric has been used for 1000 of years for its incredible health benefits, and in particular it’s the bioactive elements known as curcuminoids, the main three being curcumin, bisdemethoxyl-curcumin and demethoxyl-curcumin and have been clinically tested and widely used.

Rex has arthritis in his shoulders and is always in pain. So I was excited for him to try Nutraviva Turmeric Curcumin. He has been taking the product for about 3 weeks now and say he does notice a difference. He still has pain but it is not as bad as it had been. Rex says he feels better and not sure if this is because of the Turmeric Curcumin he has more energy. He takes it 3 times a day with his meals.

What I like about Nutraviva’s premium Turmeric is that it is a high quality, clean and effective product. It is made in the USA, in GMP-certified facilities. So if you are looking for help with joint pain or inflammation you may want to try Nutraviva Turmeric Curcumin. They have a money back guarantee if you are not happy. You can purchase it HERE at Amazon.com.

Polar OppositesPolar Opposites: Super Villain Academy #2

The supers are balanced. Academies have altered their curriculum to teach both sides of the super power spectrum. All’s well in the super world. Right?

When Mystic kidnaps Oceanus, Jeff learns it isn’t all right. Turning to the newly balanced supers for assistance, he panics to find they’ve done nothing to rescue Oceanus. When no ransom request follows, he worries Mystic’s plan never included returning his girlfriend. Frustrated, he’s forced to work with the only super willing to help. Oceanus’ ex-villain, ex-boyfriend, Set.

Mystic isn’t the only one hiding something. Nothing about Jeff is balanced. Temper flares result in scorched clothing or flying furniture, and his charm has become an indiscriminating people-magnet.

Jeff is convinced, or maybe just hopeful, that his lack of control is directly related to Oceanus being gone. But will he and Set find her before Jeff loses control completely and will they find her alive?

Amazon * Barnes & Noble

Excerpt

They never talked about how they ended the world. Twice. Jeff glanced at Oceanus, bent over her phone in the passenger seat of his car. A curtain of black hair shielded her profile from view, but he thought he saw her smile.

He reached over and tucked her hair behind an ear. Yep, she was smiling. So was he. He felt his skin heat, but not as a side-effect of his super power ability to create fire. This heat was due to thoughts of Oci running her small warm hands down his back and tilting her face up to accept his kiss.

“ How about a movie?” Oceanus asked.

“ Which one?” Jeff replied, scanning the traffic and then his girlfriend.

Oci’s thin arms, delicate wrists, and bird-like legs that barely reached the floorboards, all gave the impression she needed protection and caring for. Whereas, with her super strength, she could lift the car they drove in onto two wheels if someone were trapped underneath.

“ Oh, perfect!” Oceanus flung her hair over her shoulder and straightened in her seat. Her smile illuminated Jeff’s peripheral vision as he concentrated on traffic. “The one I want to see starts in forty-five minutes. That gives us plenty of time to get there, get popcorn and some good seats, and watch the previews. I love the previews, don’t you?”

Jeff glanced at her again. The devilish glint in her eye made him frown. “What movie?”

Oceanus peeked through thick black lashes. Jeff was pretty sure she even batted them a bit. “What movie, Oci?”

“ Accidental Hero.” At Jeff’s groan, Oceanus chuckled. “Come on, you have to admit the storyline looks kinda familiar. Besides, the special effects look amazing. You love that crap.”

Jeff stared at the traffic and said nothing. He knew it was useless. He could mount the best argument against seeing the movie, but Oceanus always got her way. Cursing his Oceanus-shaped soft spot, he turned at the next intersection and headed toward the theater.

The whiny guitar tones of the heavy metal song Super Villain erupted from his cell phone. He looked at the display and saw Mother’s number. “Can you answer that?”

Reaching for his phone, Oceanus said, “You know, now that we aren’t technically super villains anymore, you should consider changing your ringtone.”

 

King of Bad: Super Villain Academy #1

Jeff Mean would rather set fires than follow rules or observe curfew. He wears his bad boy image like a favorite old hoodie; that is until he learns he has superpowers and is recruited by Super Villain Academy – where you learn to be good at being bad. In a school where one kid can evaporate all the water from your body and the girl you hang around with can perform psychic sex in your head, bad takes on a whole new meaning. Jeff wonders if he’s bad enough for SVA.

He may never find out. Classmates vilify him when he develops good manners. Then he’s kidnapped by those closest to him and left to wonder who is good and who is bad. His rescue is the climactic episode that balances good and evil in the super world. The catalyst – the girl he’s crushing on. A girlfriend and balancing the Supers is good, right? Or is it…bad?
