A Great Read For The Fantasy Lover

I received this book for review.  When the chilly days of Fall arrive, it makes me want to curl up with a soft cuddly blanket and a good book.  I'm always on the lookout for something new and exciting to read.  I love to read horror books and thrillers, but my genre of choice is fantasy and sci-fi.  So I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to read Age of Atheria by Jenny McClain Miller and Gregory John Miller.  I absolutely loved this book and had a hard time putting it down until I finished it.  Not only is it a great read for a chilly Fall day, it would make an excellent Christmas gift for the reader on your gift list as well!

Official Synopsis (taken from the website):

"HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO SAVE THE WORLD?

After the fallout of a Great War, Ady must escape her tyrannical Republic and travel to a hidden realm, where ancient beings and a divine council have been preparing for her arrival and the ultimate war to come—a battle against the Republic and the dark forces that guide them.  When Ady learns she is an anointed one, called to lead and rise against the oppressive Republic, she finds herself stripped from everything she knows and loves.  But on the Edenic floating islands of Atheria, she learns to harness her powers and the mystical gifts she didn’t know she possessed.  But time is not on their side: the dark forces that have corrupted humanity are almost free from their ethereal prison.  Can she unite the Resistance in time?

This sweeping and enchanting fantasy novel, complete with love and heartbreak, danger and mystery, is the first in the Age of Atheria series.  This is a book for the hopeful—for those who dream of a different world."

This book will launch on November 1, 2022, and preorder is available now for Hard Cover, Paperback and Ebook editions.

This Autumn Blessings T-Shirt ($29.99) is the perfect way to express your love of the season and to wish blessings upon those you pass by throughout your day.  Autumn is a time of reflection when many of us look around us and count the blessings we have.  With text on the front of shirt saying "Autumn Blessings", this shirt is perfect for this time of year!

Create a Tower of Jack-O-Lanterns

I received this product for review.  With Halloween almost upon us, many people are carving pumpkins and displaying their creations on their front porch.  By why settle for a single Jack-O-Lantern when you can easily create a tower of them?  

The Stack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Stacking Kit ($24.99) from Hey Buddy Hey Pal comes with everything you need to carve, stack and illuminate your Halloween pumpkin.  You get 2 stackers, 1 lid light, 3 lights (batteries included!), a scooper, a saw and easy to follow instructions.  With the proper adult supervision, even children can use this kit to create a spooky Jack-O-Lantern display.

Pumpkins come in all shapes and sizes, and you can make a whole family affair of choosing the perfect ones to carve.  This kit will work for any size pumpkin, no matter how big or small.  Of course, you can go to your local super market to purchase your pumpkins, but it's so much more fun to visit a local farmer's pumpkin patch instead!

First, clean and carve your pumpkins.  Use the saw in the kit to cut off the top, then use the scooper to scoop out the slimy insides of the pumpkin.  Make sure you save those seeds to roast because they make a delicious snack!  Draw a spooky face design and use the saw to cut it out.  Once you have carved all 3 of your pumpkins you can begin stacking your tower.

Create your Jack-O-Lantern tower using the stackers in the kit.  Make sure they are secure and sturdy enough that they won't fall over.  You need to push the stackers into the pumpkins.  It's best to have the biggest pumpkin on the bottom, the medium sized one in the middle and the smallest on top.  

Attach the lid light to the lid of the top pumpkin and insert the other tealights inside the other two to give them a spooky glow.  Your Jack-O-Lantern tower is now ready for display!

Your family, friends and neighbors will be impressed with your stack.  You don't have to tell them how easy it was thanks to this kit!

Flavored Body Butters and Nourishing Lip Balm

I received these products from Ooh La La Skincare for review.  With the chilly days of Fall upon us, it's more important than ever to keep your skin moisturized and prevent the dry itchy skin that often accompanies colder weather.  Ooh La La has some fabulous products that I was lucky enough to get to try!

Nourish your senses with the full flavor of Juicy Peach, Fruity Raspberry and Pina Colada in these three deliciously nourishing body butters ($8 each).  You'll love using this body cream every day to moisturize your skin, hair and nails.  And the fact that it's flavored is just an added bonus!

All of these body butters are made with all natural ingredients that will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. These ingredients include:  Organic Raw Shea Butter, Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Organic Golden Jojoba, Vitamin E, Vanilla Oil and Flavor Oil (Peach, Raspberry or Pina Colada).

Not only does this body butter nourish your skin, it also provides a protective barrier over it.  It's a great way to sooth dry hands, strengthen hair, restore cuticles and reduce stretch marks and wrinkles.  You can even use it to sooth skin conditions such as sunburn, eczema, dry skin and more!  They have additional varieties to choose from as well, so you're not just limited to these three that I mentioned!

To use, simply apply the body butter after your shower (while your skin is still wet) to seal in moisture. 

The chilly air of Fall can wreak havoc on your lips, and no one likes to have dry, cracked lips.  It doesn't look very attractive, and it can be painful as well.  Using these Organic Lip Balms ($6.50 each) will not only nourish and moisturize your lips, they will add a touch of color to them as well!  They have six colors to choose from (I got Burgundy and Copper) and the ingredients are all organic.  It comes in a compact little tin that you can easily slip into your purse or pocket when you go out, so you can touch up your lips as needed.

Delicious Cocktails

I received these products from Kombucha Cocktails for review.  Summer may be behind us, but these delicious cocktails will give you a hint of your summer vacation with each sip you take.

Kombucha Cocktails Sunshine State ($14.99 for 4 Cans) infuses kombucha, mango and key lime with a premium distilled vodka to create a refreshing cocktail with a hint of vacation in every sip.  So anytime you feel the need to get away from the daily grind, pop open a ready to drink can of this and let it take you away for a moment.

Effective Drug Free Relief

I received this product from Signal Relief for review.  If you suffer from back aches, shoulder aches, hip soreness or other areas of general and ongoing discomfort, you no longer have to rely on medication for relief.

The Signal Relief 4.5" Patch ($149) will help you to effectively relieve your discomfort.  And best of all, it's super easy to use and uses no medication, wires or probes!   It uses a patented neuro capacitive coupling technology to provide lasting, drug free relief for back aches, shoulder aches, hip soreness and larger areas of general and ongoing discomfort. 

This reusable patch comes with a 1 year product warranty, 3 latex free adhesives, a storage case and placement instructions.  To get the relief that you long for, simply use one of the adhesives to attach the patch over the area of your discomfort.  That's it!  Once you place the patch, you can go about your day without having to deal with the aches and soreness of your body.

You're probably wondering how this amazing patch works... well let me explain:  When you get injured or experience extreme discomfort, your body sends a signal from the point of trauma to your brain.  This distress signal creates noise within the nervous system, which doesn’t allow for other messages to get through.  The nanocapacitors in the Signal Relief Patch act like a sponge to absorb this noise, allowing you to feel relief and get your body back to the healing process quickly, naturally and entirely on its own.  

Each patch is built to last for over a year, as long as you take good care of it and keep it clean.  It can even last for several years if you take care of it and treat it properly.  And since there's no medication in the patch for your body to absorb, there's no limit to how long you can wear it!  Keep it on for only a few hours at a time, or wear it for days on end.  The choice is yours!  

No more wasting money on single use remedies, prescription drugs or over the counter medications.  Try the reusable Signal Relief Patch instead for long lasting, drug free relief.

Fun and Easy Way For Kids To Learn To Play Chess

I received this product from Workman Publishing for review.  As the days grow colder with the onset of Fall, kids are spending more time indoors.  Learning to play chess is a great alternative to screen time and this book and starter kit is a fun and easy way for them to learn.

The Kids' Book of Chess and Starter Kit by Harvey Kidder  and illustrated by George Ermos ($22.95):  This is a revised and updated version to his original Kid's Book of Chess, which was originally written for his son and has taught generations of kids this classic game with over a million copies in print over the last 30 years.  

This is a complete set that comes with everything you need to play right out of the box.  It includes a how-to book and an instructional chessboard with helpful reminders on how each piece moves, both of which are beautifully illustrated.  Also included is a set of 32 chess pieces made of sturdy environmentally friendly cardboard that need to be assembled before playing.

The how-to book has 96 pages that are overflowing with colorful and engaging Instructions to help kids start playing right away, making the fundamentals of chess exciting and easy to understand.  It has easy to read step by step diagrams explaining everything from how to set up the board and make your first move, to more advanced moves like the famous “blitzkrieg”.

The instructions are grounded in the game’s medieval origins, and are complemented by charming illustrations that explain essential plays as well as the history of the game.  It makes it easy to imagine medieval knights riding on horseback across the battlefield while brave pawns march forward, all while improving their reasoning skills.

This Starter Kit is perfect for kids who are just starting to learn the game.  As they advance from beginner to Grandmaster, their concentration and reasoning skills will improve, and soon they will be ready to transition move on to a true chess set. 

With Christmas fast approaching, this would be a great gift choice.  And the included fabric storage bag makes it great for traveling as well.
