Arms Open Wide A Call to Linger in the Savior's Presence By Sherri Gragg Review

Welcome to my review for the book Arms Open Wide A Call to Linger in the Savior's Presence By Sherri Gragg. This beautiful hardbound book is a masterpiece in a 30 day devotional.

I loved everything about it and thought it would make for such a treasured gift for anyone any time. I loved that Sherri Gragg really has the ability to expound on a passage of scripture and turn it into a story we can live in and really feel like we are right their with Jesus in a moment in time . I have read a lot of devotions but this one is one of my favorites.

For a 30 day devotional its got a lot of pages and each story is very complete. Its very well written, very beautiful in form and content and well bound to last a lifetime.

This is the kind of book you would want to have on your shelf always and to give as a gift so others can cherish it. Its the kind of book you want to display on a coffee table or desk,

When I say that it is a Masterpiece I really mean it and I am so very happy I was selected to review it through booklook bloggers.

I was sent a free copy in order to make an informed review but my opinions are my own thanks for reading

Eucalyptus essential oil pure review

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

Welcome to my review for this really pure and effective oil. I really like Eucalyptus oil for a lot of things, its really great energizing aroma therapy. I also like it because I have sinus problems and if you put a drop of this oil on a regular tissue you will have a very natural and safe way to open up blocked nasal passages.

This particular oil is very pure so you are sure to be getting the most potent available to buy. Its The ONLY eucalyptus with gentle super-critical steam distilled extraction for purity and potency. I was so happy I got to try it because it has really help my sinuses. This product is also very good for using as a Massage oil it Soothes Muscle and Joint Pain.

Their are so may uses for this oil and that makes it a really good buy and to have on hand in your medicine chest. Here are a few uses for the oil.

Aromatherapy

SKIN HEALTH clear acne, soothes blisters, burns, wounds, insect bites...

BOOST ENERGY combat jet lag, stop fatigue

SOOTHE SORE MUSCLES and JOINTS

RESPIRATORY HEALTH (Combat congestion, symptoms of cold, sore throat, viruses, fever...)

BOOST CIRCULATION to the body, brain

ELIMINATE LICE naturally

Like I said I use it for my sinuses I use to buy tissues with vicks in them but the scent of these does not last very long and once you open the box the scent goes away so they are not very effective. With is Eucalyptus oil one drop on a tissue and your really getting a powerful scent that works really well to open up your nose of stop a headache caused my sinus pressure.

You can buy it on amazon at this link thanks for looking at my review

Bonapiel beauty and youth serum review and GIVEAWAY

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

Welcome to my review for Bonapiel beauty and youth serum. This one is a bit different than what I usually use because it contains Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C and MSM. I have not had much Luck with acid products but I really really love this one. I love it because unlike most products of its kind it does not make my skin red or irritated while using it. it also does not make my skin flaky which is a real huge deal for me.

Its very effective and drys very quickly so you do not have a long wait time till you can put on your makeup or moisturizer. I also found out that it does not make the other beauty product I use pill of flake off as some product with acid can do. This is also a huge deal because I hate waiting for a serum to dry only to find out that when I put on my makeup it reacts badly and starts pilling or rubbing off as I apply it.

With Bonapiel I had no problems using it at all. All of the things that usually happen when I use an acid serum did not happen. This is really wonderful because I know that using a product with Hyaluronic acid will do more for my skin than just a moisturizer. It will aid in exfoliating and keep the skin producing collagen for a younger appearance.

This product is like a gel in that it goes on smoothly , drys quickly and is very light.It dose not burn or make my skin irritated. I found out after using it a while that my skin looks brighter and smoother.

I did a video review for this product so you could see packaging and hear my thoughts about it, you can see that below the post. I was sent a free sample to try so I could make an informed review but my opinions are my own. you can find more info and how to buy it here at this link.

Twist and Pout Lip balms review .. soooo pretty You must see them #twistandpout

Welcome to my review for Twist and Pout decorative lip balms. I am telling you these are about the most innovative and unique things I have seen in beauty in a while. They not only have a splendid lip balm in them but they are so pretty you will want to collect them all.

What makes these so different is that they come in a beautiful decorated pot complete with rhinestones a charm and with a nice clasp so you can hang them on a handbag for easy access. These also add a bit of pizzas to a handbag and look like a lovely jewel while attached. These hang very securely and can also be used as a key chain if you like but Personally I think they are just lovely hanging from a handbag as you will see in the video review.

I really loved the rich and creamy lip balm in these, My lips get really dry because I have sinus problems and breath through my mouth a lot. This combined with the Florida sun and salt water make it really difficult to keep my lips soft. I always have to have handy a lip balm. Twist and Pout provides this in a beautiful way with these little decorative pots of balm.

I would love to collect them all because they have so many to choose from and it would be nice to switch them up on my handbag to match what I'm wearing for the day. I also think that teen girls would love to hang these from a zipper on a hoodie or jacket to ad a bit of cool decoration to an otherwise plain hoodie.

I am telling you that these are so cute that when I showed them to my father he wants to get a few for his girlfriend! Now any one who knows men knows that they could care less about beauty products so when I say my dad thought these were really cool that is saying a whole lot.

I hope you have a look at the video review below and the other close up of the Just say Zen pot so you can see the clasp and other charm on it. The name of these two pots are Just say zen and blue lagoon. I was sent 2 to try free and make an informed review but my opinions are my own. thanks for looking at the video.

You can find and buy these here at this link Twist and Pout website
