Sky1 Foundation (The Sky Series) by William Amerman Book Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I received a copy of the e-book complimentary in order to provide an honest review. As always, my opinions are my own. 


In a post-apocalyptic world, Nick Burke has been allotted 389 square feet of living space by the government. Disease spreads quickly when people are packed together so tightly. Quarantines have been imposed in an effort to contain the spread of infection.

When a quarantine is imposed on Nick's Ground, he and his family are trapped. The only way out is to break laws that carry a penalty of death.
Fearing for his life and the safety of his family, Nick joins forces with a local group to move to another Ground. But can he trust his new friends?

If you like dystopian books or post-apocolyptic books, here is a new one for you. The story is a gripping tale of a layered world on Earth where most citizens live in minimal space.  Just imagine the world set up like a giant skyscraper that is built vertically AND horizontally. People live in the different horizontal worlds and never leave their level.  Each level has a simulated sky and sun.  The Ground or lowest levels only have a vertical height of a few yards just so you get a feeling for the squeeze of life down there.  All the levels are numbered. 

The lowest levels on the very bottom of the skyscraper (the Ground) are squeezed the most severely and people allotted just enough space to breathe. As you move up, the higher levels contain the more elite citizens who live a more spacious and privileged life. The problem is, you can't just move up, legally that is. 

Historically, disease spreads quickly in poor communities where people live in close quarters.  This dystopian world is no different.  When Nick and his family are trapped on the ground during a quarantine due to the proliferation of deadly disease he decides he has to escape. That is a challenge since this is a high tech world with cameras watching every move.  His young son Simon and his wife Jane motivate him to take severe risks.  They obtain illegal immigration visa and join forces with others in an effort to move up, literally to a better and more spacious life. 

The book takes a while to sort out the characters and story but once I did I enjoyed it a lot.  The characters were consistently developed and you got a good sense of the different personalities.  As I got to know Nick and his family, I really was drawn more into the book. 

I was kind of surprised to see the terminology PDA used to refer to electronic communication devices that are frequently used in the book.  I thought the terminology made the book seem dated.  Perhaps the author would consider coming up with a more imaginative or futuristic term that might be more fitting for updated editions. 

Though the novel is post-apocolypse, it is refreshing how the author places an emphasis on classic morals and family structure.  It adds a positive element to this upside down world.  Nick is very much the caretaker for Jane and Simon and the risks he takes are all to provide a better life for his family and  to share an important secret with the world.  You really want to keep reading to see and learn more about Nick and the underground group and what eventually takes place.  You have to read it to find out more.  

You can buy this book on Amazon or Smashwords.

Easter and April Fools costume and accessories from Private Island Party are a fun way to celebrate any holiday

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
The snow will be gone soon...I promise!  Easter and April Fools Day are coming up fast too.  After all this crazy weather buying a few silly and fun accessories would be a super way to celebrate Easters and April Fools Day, don't you think?  We all could use some comic relief at this point.  I was smiling as I opened my box full of adorable accessories from Private Island Party this week. 
Well, I have to say that there are some days I feel like an angel and the LED Angel Wing Headband 1877 would be perfect for me.  Okay, not too often but give me some credit here my reader friends.  Is this adorable or what?  Emphasize your angelical side (I bet you have one too!) with a cute angel wing headband. Its has soft, shiny wings that are decorated with bright, white feathers and tiny silver strings. They light up with LEDs! One size fits most people. I have a small head and it fit me fine.
For my less angelic sort of days they also sent me a perfect option:  Light Up Devil Horns 1682 Sure there are days that I just really want to get my devil going and these will do it.  This headpiece has glowing LED Lightup Red Devil Horns on it. A perfect accessory for any adult or child's costume, or as a fun prize for party games. You can use it when you get cranky like me and warn others to stay far, far away as you laugh hysterically.  Super easy to turn on and off. Batteries included. Unisex. One size fits most and it fit me fine.
Perfect for so many silly occasions...I was laughing at the Funny Nose and Glasses 1631. This is such a classic gag gift for children or adults. This is perfect to make anyone laugh!  If you are trying to put together a Groucho Marx costume this one will be perfect for you too!

Pooooop!  Whoops...just joking!  The next accessory I received was the Whoopee Cushion 1646.  Oh, Lordy....we used to just break out into gales of laughter with this one. Absolute hysterics.  How can you NOT laugh?  All you do is just inflate and wait for the victim to sit down and the laughs will begin.  You don't know how it goes?  Place on a chair and wait for an unsuspecting victim to sit down. When sat upon the whoopee cushion will force air through a narrow opening causing it vibrate and make a very special sound like gas.

Majestical Jewelry Review, Exclusive Discount {Giveaway}

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
 
Do you love to accessorize with gorgeous jewelry?  I do too, but up until now I was always kind of limited.  I have a lovely collection but....I love the sparkle of beautiful and stylish jewelry but some of the prices make it just prohibitive to purchase too often.  I was happy to hear about Majestical Jewelry recently because it solves my little dilemma.  It gives me an opportunity to collect high quality jewelry without making a huge dent in my budget. No guilt!
Majestical is a high fashion online only jewelry store that specializes in handmade jewelry and gorgeous statement pieces.  They are always coming out with new collections which makes it fun to shop on their site!  I was truly impressed by the earrings that I was sent to review as well.  You can see them in the photo above.  So pretty!  Majestical has all kinds of beautiful styles and jewelry designs and they fit every budget too.
Here are a few of the pieces that are available on the Majestical Jewelry website.  Look at these statement pieces...the blue stone necklace is just magical. Can you just imagine how that will make a black dress just pop?  I can see the compliments already.



Majestical even has jewelry for formal occasions.  I just love this gorgeous sparkler above.  Look at the quality....you can see that it is totally adjustable so you can wear it on multiple occasions with different dresses.  So beautiful!

Here is another gorgeous sparkling necklace.  The yellow and blue stones together is just an amazing look.  Can you imagine how this will complete a formal wear outfit or dress?  The quality shines through with the photos never mind in person...can you just imagine.  I would even wear it with a white dress...it would just make your whole outfit shine. I could totally see it on a simple black dress or gown too.  Take a peek at the Majestical site and find some beautiful bling for yourself---no guilt required because their prices are so reasonable too.

Ali Vincent Curated BuluBox Review Plus Discount

Disclosure:  I received the product mentioned above for free for the purpose of this review.    The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.  However, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. There may be affiliate links in this post. The affiliate links will provide me with a commission while you receive a 50% discount or a free initial Bulu Box.  

**Please consult with your physician or health care practitioner prior to adding any supplements to your diet. 

Are you trying to improve your health?  Get more fit? Eat better?  2014 is your year to do it!  Bulu Box is the first vitamin, supplement and general health subscription sample box designed to help you get there too. Every month, you’ll get a box filled with 4 to 5 premium, curated samples from top brands. This month the amazing Ali Vincent has curated a super box full of healthy goodies for us.  You have to keep reading to get the full scoop!

Each month you can look forward to a new mix of products for both women and men, including vitamins, weight loss, sports nutrition, protein, diet, energy, detox, digestion, sexual health, herbs, natural remedies, endurance and more. The smarties at BuluBox make sure you get enough to decide if the product is right for you. No shipping or extra fees either. Depending on your plan, you can cancel anytime. There are two kinds of Bulu Boxes to choose from and both of them are healthy subscription boxes that you will just love. 


Bulu Box-This is the box that I subscribe to....It is the first and only vitamin and supplement sample box out there.  Each box includes a sampling of vitamins and supplements from different areas of health. Each box contains 4 to 5 premium samples (some are bigger than others as you will see!) plus lifestyle extras sometimes. There is good stuff in every box.

Bulu Box Weight Loss: This box is the first and only weight loss and nutrition box. They designed it with the specific goal of weight loss in mind. Each box contains 4 to 5 premium weight loss items such as vitamin and supplement samples, fitness gear and healthy eating tools. These are products to help you succeed with weight loss.





I know you want to see what was in my special Ali Vincent curated Bulu Box so no more delays:  here it is.  The big scoop! This month's BuluBox like every box comes with a card (above) that explains about the samples and gives you the prices for the full size products. My Bulu Box this month came with a yummy and easy recipe card for 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies and a mix of excellent supplement samples and full size products. 
BuluBox is not stingy when it comes to products.  There is always enough to get a real feel for the products.  You can see that the two bars are full size, the Power Crunch Proto whey is single serving along with the Salba Chia.  The FLOW has several capsules...enough to get a sense if you like it and want to purchase a full size product.

Details, details:  The first item was Power Crunch Proto Whey in Vanilla Creme and I was interested to try it.  I always need more clean proteins in my diet since I don't eat enough meat, fish or chicken.  It is a very fast absorbing whey protein which I like. I have tried a bunch of protein powders over the years but this one looked especially good since I know I like vanilla. It tasted good but I would have preferred that all the flavors were natural. It blended easily into my smoothie though the instructions say you can add to cold water and stir or shake.  A 2lb tub is  $44.99.


Each box also comes with a My Sample Journal shown above. You can keep notes for yourself and also submit your feedback and earn points towards products you like from your Bulu Box!

Just Fruit Bars were a new to me product. They are described as a snack that is a tasty alternative to candy. They are created using real fruit....yum! Just Fruit Bars have the equivalent of two full fruit servings in each bar.  The pear flavor tasted really good.  They are $24.99/16 bars.


I use Chia seeds but I had not tried the Salba brand before.  I like the individual servings...great for the office or travel. Lots of heart healthy Omega-3's and fiber. Sprinkle on yogurt or in a smoothie.  Great an hour or two before a tough workout or spin class, ya know? $12.99/14 packets


Flow Athletics Neural Enhancer is a herbal pre-workout for your mind to help energy and focus. This is a natural herbal supplement to help you achieve a natural flow of energy and focus. Lordy I need focus so I am trying it tomorrow before boot camp!  They say no jitters so that is great. $54.99/60 capsules



SoyJoy is a gluten free indulgence.  This bar is crafted from fruit and soy. Perfect for a snack or meal replacement. I like this bar and have been buying these forever! I think it tastes even better now...moist and fruity.  $18.99/12 bars


NeriumAD Age Defying skin treatment also included a special offer with purchase. No samples were included though....boohoo. But, the great news is that you get a Live Happy magazine plus a coaching call with Ali Vincent with your NeriumAD purchase. That is an amazing deal! $155 value  

Thinking about signing up for BuluBox?  Super easy to do. 
1. Go to BuluBox & choose a month-to-month ($10), 3 ($30), 6 ($60) or 12 month ($110) plan.

Nite Ize Gear Ties for Your Home, Workshop and More: A Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


Do you like having everything neat and tidy in your home, your car and even your workshop or garage?  You are just like me!  I used to make myself nuts trying to organize all those cords but nothing ever really worked very well.   The disorder doesn't seem to bother my hubby as much but he agrees that it is easier to find his things in his workshop when the cords are not all tangled.  I was thrilled to hear about Nite Ize Gear Ties.  They are the ultimate solution to organization and even innovation.  You wouldn't believe how useful they can be. 

Nite Ize Gear Ties are crafted with the ultimate 2014 technology that makes it easy for anyone (even Messy Marvin!) to get organized and stay organized.  The material for Nite Ize Gear Ties is totally flexible and you can reuse and reshape them 100's of times and in so many ways.  They come in assortment bags with different sizes and bright colors that make organizing, well, fun.

They are constructed with a bendable wire interior but have a durable, soft rubber exterior.  The combination makes them perfect for using and re-using and reshaping to your every need.  Nite Ize Gear Ties can be used to organize all kinds of cords and cables.  Think about all those hair dryers, kitchen appliances, game consoles and more that get so untidy with wayward cords.  You can corral them all with Nite Ize Gear Ties in a flash! Nite Ize Gear Ties pop on and off very easily too.

These small ties are colorful, reusable, water-proof, and have never ending uses. You can prop up your ipad so you can see that recipe when you are cooking or you can prop up your recipe on the back of that box like I did below. You won't have to keep picking it up to look at the recipe anymore!  Nite Ize sets whatever you like at the perfect angle


My little one had an issue that made me nuts with her ipad and iphone cords.... they were always falling on the floor. She was happy to see that the Nite Ize Gear Ties were able to keep her cords securely up on the shelf....no more grumbling from Mom about rampant cords.

Have you ever had a few friends over for coffee and cake or perhaps wine and cheese?  You all know the uncomfortable moment when you realize you picked up someone elses mug or glass and already drank from it.  The apologies...ugh, so embarrassing!  Nite Ize Gear Ties are a cute way to eliminate that problem. Just let everyone pick their own color and wrap it around their mug or wine glass. Problem solved!
A totally different idea that I thought of for this innovative product is in the beauty department.  Yes!  I even figured out I can use Nite Ize as a fun hair tie for a ponytail or braid.  The smooth material makes them easy to wrap around your hair with no pulling or yanking. They easily come off when you are ready to change your style too.  I think I could do something artsy with them and decorate them with beads to make them even prettier.  I will be tucking a Nite Ize tie into my purse for those windy days when I have to get my hair off my face too.
