I have always been fascinated by the Amish and I was kind of excited to read this book because of that. This is the first book in a series and I can't wait to read the next books.  The author takes the basis for the story from an Amish point of view which is interesting and different.  Elizabeth is the oldest daughter in a large Amish family of 9 children which is fascinating to me. She runs away to escape all her endless duties to the family. It was already so different from my own life at this point that I was very into reading about the character of Elizabeth.

This lovely young girl starts a whole new life and takes a apartment with a roommate who attends college which is very exciting.  Her roommate introduces her to a nice young man named Bruce. I loved the sweet boy element in the story too!  She finds a job at a store and a new love named Saul who owns the store she works at.  She has two men competing for her attention which is always interesting.  She can't forget her family and is constantly reminded of them with her new responsibilities.  The poor thing wonders what to do....stay or go back to her traditional family. You want to keep reading to find out what she does.  Does she stay and start a new life with one of the young men or does she return home to her family?  The characters are well developed and the story is sweet. It is a wonderful weekend read that I really enjoyed.

Pure Body Naturals Vitamin C Serum Skin Care Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Do you see dull skin?  Does bother you?  It sure bothered me. I was excited to try Vitamin C from Pure Body Naturals to help me get my facial skin looking brighter and more radiant. Pure Body Naturals shared with me that the anti aging power of vitamin C + E + Hyaluronic Acid can instantly help provide brighter and more radiant skin with their professional Anti-Aging Serum. I was all for that in a millisecond!
Pure Body Naturals facial serum contains vitamin C and vitamin E, suspended in a concentrated base of pure vegan hyaluronic acid. It sounds super technical but read a little more and you will understand better how it works.

Vitamin C helps smooth and firm skin and fade those icky brown spots by inhibiting the free radicals that trigger wrinkling, sagging, and other aging changes. Apply Vitamin C in the morning, right under your makeup to protect your skin from free radicals caused by sun damage.
Vitamin E is a skincare superstar. The vitamin has been proven in many studies to ease dryness and boosts skin’s UV defense.  We all need to defend our skin as much as we can too.  My mom always used vitamin E when I was little too....she would have to cut open those capsules but that was 1970's!  Look how easy it is now and better.
Hyaluronic acid, (sodium hyaluronate), has become a very important skincare staple. It’s the body’s own hydrating molecule, able to absorb up to 1000 times its own weight in water and responsible for keeping our skin plump, smooth and supple. Sadly, we all know that our natural levels deplete as we age, so fight off fine lines and a loss of skin tone with our latest Vitamin C Serum.



Details, Details Details about Pure Body Naturals Vitamin C:
  • 20% Vitamin C + E + Hyaluronic Acid Is The Absolute Highest Quality Vitamin C Serum Available
  • Vitamin C Serum Is Proven To Stimulate Collagen and Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Dial® Vitamin Boost Body Wash was created to provide your skin with a daily boost of vitamins. My skin is always so dry I need every little bit of help I can get so I was thrilled to hear about this new product from Dial.  
They created a totally advanced formula that has a special moisturizing Vitamin Complex.  The best part is that this Vitamin Complex helps to bring moisture directly to your skin. 
Now you know when you bring moisture to your skin, none of us have to be a scientist to know that your skin is going to feel and be much softer and healthier.  
I started using Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash this week and I am really seeing a difference. It has been so darn cold here in the mid-Atlantic I have been desperate for anything to relieve the dryness in my skin.  My skin is so much softer and feels so much more healthier. I even convinced my hubby to give it a try and he agreed that his skin felt great. I think it is going to be a staple for us and I am excited to try the different scents in the Vitamin Boost line.  

Dial generously shared coupons with me and I am hosting a giveaway for my readers.  Enter my Rafflecopter giveaway below to win your own bottle!a Rafflecopter giveaway
