A Chapel Springs Romance

This is a book from the Chapel Springs Romance series.  It is very sweet and a nice book to come home to relax with in the evening. Lovely Jade returns home to Chapel Springs after protecting her sweet heart for years and never getting hurt. Daniel comes along and makes her heart sing.

Creative and complicated, Jade McKinley felt like a weed in a rose garden growing up in Chapel Springs. When she left, she thought she'd never look back. But now, pregnant, alone, and broke, she has no other choice but to return.

The mayor of Chapel Springs, Daniel Dawson, has been an honorary member of the McKinley family for years. While his own home life was almost non-existent, Daniel fit right into the boisterous McKinley family. He's loved Jade for years, but she always saw him as a big brother. Now that she's back, his feelings are stronger than ever.

As Jade attempts to settle in, nothing feels right. God seems far away, she's hiding secrets from her family, and she's strangely attracted to the man who's always called her "squirt." Finding her way home may prove more difficult than she imagined.

Win a Kindle HDX!


My thoughts: 

Jade McKinley has been in the big city for years now pursuing her dreams. She left her tiny hometown of Chapel Springs behind so long ago. Awful circumstances have her packing up quickly to go back to the safety of Chapel Springs.  She gets closer to Daniel, someone she has known since she was a little girl. Daniel remembers how much he adored Jade when she was younger but the real question is whether Jade and Daniel can make something of this together now that they are both grown up.

I like a variety of books from mysteries to romance to wacky dystopian stories depending on my mood. I really enjoy the characters and the romance in Dancing with Fireflies. Jade and Daniel were a sweet couple and it was nice to see them grow together. Their families were kind and it was a relaxing read.  It is a mostly happy book but you will feel all the emotions that Jade and Daniel feel as their relationship evolves. The author is very skilled at weaving the whole story together.

I don't know about you, but I try so hard to take good care of my skin.  I like to keep up with the latest developments because sometimes new products really make a huge difference. Something simple like vitamin C serum has been in the news a lot lately. Are you wondering why?  Here are a few reasons you might want to consider this simple step in your skincare routine using an excellent brand from EU Naturals.  

Clarity Vitamin C Serum from EU Natural antioxidant blend is a blend of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, and Herbal Extracts.  It has been demonstrated to smooth skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and even treat those pesky dark spots. The powerful combination actually stimulates collagen production to increase radiance. We all know radiant skin is youthful looking skin.  

I have been using it and I noticed a difference within a few days.  My skin looks more radiant and fresh.  I like it...a bit brighter and less tired looking makes my makeup application a ton easier.  This is a cinch to use too.  Just a few drops gently blended onto your face before the makeup...it truly takes 30 seconds. I expect that I will continue to see more results as I use it into the spring and summer.  I am excited that something so simple and fast can really make a difference for me.

I love that Clarity Vitamin C Serum is organically formulated, and has a unique and powerful ingredient blend. I also love the glow my skin now has.  That dull look has disappeared.  

Clarity shared with me a few key aspects to their Vitamin C Serum to consider:

• Formulated to Smooth the Skin, Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles, and Treat Dark Spots.
• Potent Antioxidant Blend Featuring Organic Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, and Herbal Extracts.
• Stimulates Collagen Production for Radiant and more youthful looking skin.
• Try Clarity risk-free! Backed by their 100% Money Back Guarantee
• Made in the USA to Strict FDA Standards by cGMP Certified Laboratory Without Parabens or Alcohol.

As I mentioned, it is super easy to use.  Each morning apply 5 to 6 drops to cleansed and dry face, neck and décolleté areas, prior to moisturizer application.  You can buy Clarity Vitamin C Serum at my favorite online marketplace, Amazon right now.

Have you tried CC creams yet?  CC stands for color correcting and they are amazing products. If you have not tried them yet, you definitely should consider the version that Studio Gear has just launched as part of their extensive cosmetics collection. You might or might not know that CC creams are an amazing hard working cosmetic that enhances your natural beauty while correcting those little issues.  Studio Gear Hydrating CC Cream transforms and enhances your complexion in an incredibly light, smooth formula. I love this because not all CC creams are the same.  Studio Gear Hydrating CC Color Correcting Cream goes on seamlessly to fight aging, retain moisture, and covers and treat blemishes with a non-oily, perfectly radiant finish.  Believeit.  This is a unique formula using microencapsulated pigments which offer up to 72 hours of hydration. 

It comes in three perfect shades:  Linen, Natural and Wheat. I have a medium complexion so I chose Natural.  It looks great on my skin. Just know that it initially comes out looking whitish--this is normal. Remember the pigments are micro-encapsulated so it does blend into your skin and will look perfect natural in a few seconds.

Some of the key benefits of Studio Gear Cosmetics Hydrating CC Cream:

• Prevents fine lines and wrinkles with collagen-building ingredients

• Restores skin elasticity by promoting moisture retention

• Brightens and illuminates skin with a non-oily, complete coverage application

A review of the Ozeri Artestio Electric Grinder for pepper, salt or spices

Disclosure: I received the Ozeri Artesio Electric Grinder complimentary in order to review it. As always, my opinions are my own.

We cook almost everyday...both my husband and I. Yup, he cooks too!  We both have our own personal styles and cook totally different dishes too.  One thing we have in common though is that we both love to add own own spices to everything that we cook….from fresh ground salt and pepper to more funky and interesting ones.  Sometimes it is hard to add spices during the cooking process. One hand is always filled with a spoon or I just scooped up some onions....one of my favorite things about the Ozeri Artesio Electric Grinder is that I can grind my pepper fresh into my dish with one hand.  Isn't that so cool. It works so smoothly too. 

I can't wait for my next dinner party or holiday meal which is coming up soon too. My guests are going to be impressed. This Artesio electric grinder is an elegant and modern accessory for any dinner table or buffet.  I think my guests will really appreciate the beautiful design and ease of use.  The Artesio Electric Grinder was designed with an adjustable ceramic grinding mechanism to operate smoothly and easily.  Spices of your choice come out at the touch of a button. You can even fill it with your own special blend for a party or event.  Speaking of events, Ozeri even though about that when they designed the Artesio....it has a built in light for you too.  You don't even need to assemble it and it runs on 4 AA batteries.  

It separates easily so you can refill it in a flash too. You can buy it on my favorite spot...Amazon.
