I was able to read Really Bad Girls of the Bible by Liz Curtis Higgs through blogging for books. I was so happy I got to read this book, I had read a few of Liz Curtis Higgs other books before and loved them as I loved this book.
I loved the way she first tells us a contemporary story before every Biblical account of the chosen bad girl of the Bible . I think this approach really helps us put the Biblical stories in a different perspective.
I loved learning from Liz and how she has the ability to make us laugh as we read these stories. Liz is a great writer I love her sense of humor and her down to earth attitude.
In Really Bad Girls of the bible, Liz makes it possible to really get a feel of just what sort of circumstances surrounded each women that led them to make the choices that they did. The book also shows us how great our need for forgiveness is, and how no matter how Bad we are before finding Christ ,he still waits for us to turn to him so we can be healed and restored to him.
We all can really learn a lot from these Less than perfect women of the Bible and Liz guides us thought this process with sound teaching and gentle humor. I will be recommending this awesome book to all my friends be they Christians or not,because everyone can greatly benefit from reading it and I'm so happy I got to read and review it for you. Thanks for looking at my review of Really Bad Girls of the Bible by Liz Curtis Higgs.

I was able to try Just Eyewear through Tomoson and was given my choice of a free pair to try. Here is what I found
Just Eyewear, Has over 900 frames to choose from in many fashionable and beautiful designs. You can pick from big plastic frames, flex titanium, progressive lenses, Transitions, you name it. I found the ordering process to be really easy. I did a video review for you to not only show the outstanding quality of these glasses but to also explain the ordering process.
I love my new Just Eyewear glasses because they are just what I wanted in a new fashionable frame that are true to my prescription and work well. One of the fantastic things about Just Eyewear is you order them online and get them in the mail their is no standing in line or looking through glasses in the store or Eyewear shop. I hope you get a chance to view the video review I just made for these.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
I was so Unbelievably blessed to be able to try a sample of the NuBrilliance Real Microdermabrasion at home tool recently and I have to say its the most innovative and easy to use Microdermabrasion I have ever used. I was so impressed by it I did a how to video review on all the many features this product has to offer anyone interested in skincare and anti aging.
First I would like to Thank the People at NuBrilliance for sending me the unit to try:)
So what is Nubrilliance you may be asking. NuBrilliance is a very innovative skincare tool that uses diamond tipped exfoliating discs to provide you with Superior Microdermabrasion . Its vacuum action whisks away the dead skin, that the diamond tips will loosen as you use the product. Dead skin particles are removed and vacuumed away.
The first thing I noticed about the NuBrilliance was its ease of use and its quite performance. Being a vacuum product I thought it would be really loud but its not, its very discrete so you can use it with out worry.
Each different diamond tip snaps into the vacuum wand and is ready to use right away.
I really loved that you start the process with a clean dry face, there are no messy crystals or water going everywhere while using the NuBrilliance. You start and finish with a dry clean face.
As you know I'm really big on exfoliating the skin and have use different product to help me do this but the NuBrilliance is the cleanest and easiest one to use.
Because of its Vacuum action you will be doing more than just exfoliating the skin, you will be encouraging it to produce Collagen which will add a support structure to aging skin.
In the NuBrilliance kit you get a bunch of filters so the skin that's vacuumed off your face will be caught in the disposable filter. You get 3 diamond tips. One larger oval for the broader parts of the face, one precision round tip for hard to get into places and one courser tip for the body. Yes this product can be used to exfoliate the body as well as the face!
The NuBrilliance unit has different vacuum settings so you will start out on setting one and move up as your face and body gets use to the process. The unit is electric and plugs into the outlet in the bathroom or where every you want to perform your treatment.
Many of you have seen these kinds of facial exfoliating devices at spas and the cost of just one treatment is very high. Imagine being able to do your own professional microdermabrasion at home, in comfort, whenever you want to, no appointment necessary.
Anyone can use the NuBrilliance, its so easy and so clean. It also comes with a how to DVD and a booklet so you will have no problems getting started as I did.
I have seen such an improvement in my skin from using the NuBrilliance. you can tell its working because after your first treatment your skin my be a little pink but that fades after about 20min or less depending on how much exfoliating you have done in the past. I am on setting 2, I find that to be comfortable for me yet also providing me with that pink glow so I know its working. Once you finish you just apply your normal skin care cream and its all done. I use the NuBrilliance 2 times a week.
watching the DVD you will learn how to use the NuBrilliance effectively and also when you should not use it for those days you have used a hair remover or had a peal or some other condition like a bad sunburn those would be the days you would want your skin to rest and forgo microdermabrasion.
As I said, I did a how to video for NuBrilliance. I show you how to use it effectively and its many features. The videos sound may need to be turned up a bit as my camera is particular and sometime the volume is lower. Also toward the end of the video even my Camera was sick of hearing me talk and it tried to fall over so I had to fix it its kinda funny seeing the look on my face when it did that LOL . I did try to cover everything you would need to know to make an informed decision about NuBrilliance .
Here is the video review I did for this awesome product I hope you have a look at it, it will explain a lot.
before you go Please have a look at the website for the product, as price's and any deals can be found there. So for ease of use and superior exfoliating this product cant be beat and I really love it! Thank you so much for reading my review if you have any questions about it please let me know and I will be happy to help you . Nubrilliance

I was able to paticipate in this helpful campaign through Naturally Savvy's blogger program. I was sent a copy of the awesome book Unjunk your junk food-Healthy Alternatives to conventional snacks by Andrea Donsky and Randy Boyer. Here is what I found
first this book has so much information in it, its scary. Its very well written and has so may wonderful qualities for helping you make well informed decisions about which snack foods to use and buy and why.
The main thing I took away after reading this is I need a lot of help in making these decisions.
I was able to find in this book the products I use with pictures and if its good for us or not. This book made it so easy to find different snack foods and side by side compare them with other products that are better for you.
One of the scary 7 I had in my pantry was a snack food I thought was healthy but had olestra in it. This product said fat free and though it shows no fat Olestra is not good for you and this is clearly explained in this book.
The Biggest surprise I discovered was that one of my favorite Jellybeans has caffeine in it, I did not know that!
The other thing I really loved about Unjunk your junk food-Healthy Alternatives to conventional snacks was all the helpful ideas added to each page, I hope you get a chance to look at the video because seeing what I mean will help you understand how the book works and is presented.
Snack foods are categorized by type and as you go through the book you will see a popular snack food on the left page and one on the right, the left page is the bad choice and that's clearly shown. Their is also an explanation of why its not a good choice. On the right page you will see the alternative choice and why its better.
I also loved that below the good choice product their is a helpful bit of information on each one or a Savvy Fact these little bits of the other informational tips provided are really interesting and I really will be putting a lot of them to use and remembering them for the future.
These words of wisdom range from the differences, health wise, between table salt and sea salt and how to make your own D.I.Y body scrub. I really found the D.I.Y ideas really cool and very valuable and you will find many of these here along with detailed info about new things like Acai berries.. So much work went into creating this book that everyone concerned about the health of their snack foods should have a copy.
With chapters like
The key to unjunking
back to basics nutrition
The worst Ingredients, and Others, Each chapter deals with they kind of snack food like chips dips and party food to cakes, chocolate and soda and every kind of snack food in between.
There is also a really comprehensive list of websites that can help you find more info in the back of the book.
So with all that being said I found this book to be a Superior way to help anyone make really informed decisions regarding snack foods of all kinds.
Here are some links for you to visit to find out more about Unjunk your junk food-Healthy Alternatives to conventional snacks.
