DREAM TEAM PETS REVIEW

I want to introduce the newest member of our family to you!
This is Sparky!

Sparky is a Dream Team Pet.

Dream Team Pets is much more than a bedtime toy-it's an innovative kid's sleep aid that helps end the bedtime battles of trying to keep your child in bed. Developed with the help of a pediatrician, Dream Team Pets bedtime routine empowers kids as they reward their Pet with stickers and a certificate for a good night's sleep. If the child wakes up from a nightmare, there are no hard feelings because the responsibility is on their Pet, but when they successfully sleep in their own bed, the kids feel a sense of accomplishment as they reward their Dream Team Pet. What makes this unique is that the kids think they are training their Pet, but really they are sleep training themselves!

In my home we have 3 kids and all of their bedtimes are different since they are all different in age.

Sometimes, it can be a constant battle with my youngest.

Sometimes he wants to stay up, or he gets out of bed, or sometimes he is scared and just doesn't want to be alone at night. So when I got the opportunity to test out a Dream Team Pet, I jumped at the chance.

I ordered my Dream Team Pet off Amazon.

They have different animals that you can pick from such as Magical Cat, Playful Puppy and Mighty Lion.

I chose the Playful Puppy because I felt my son would connect with him.

When your Dream Team Pet arrives at your doorstep, he comes with a professionally illustrated book, a certificate of training and and stickers to reward the pet (and child) for good bedtime behavior.

Our Dream Tea Pet Sparky is very soft and snugly.

The book that comes with him is really cute too! It is a hardcover that shares a special story of your pet and how he can defend your child from scary things with the help and training of your child. 

I love how interactive this is and how you can personalize it. My son reads it every night.

Your child also uses the stickers as a reward for completing training of your Dream Team Pet.

All in all this is a super cute concept, and a great opportunity for your child to learn  and get a great sense of pride and accomplishment while interacting with your Dream Team Pet, and at the same time he/she will feel loved and secure.

My son loves Sparky, he plays with him more then at just night. We often find Sparky in the living room or on the kitchen counter. He is a member of our family now and I am impressed with the responsibility my son has learned and yes, it does make bedtime easier since my son knows he has a job to do and he can count on Sparky to be there for him!

Sparky, Our Dream Team Pet is definitely going on the list of Getta's Got To Have Its!

I am also adding him to my holiday gift guide I am working on.

I recommend him to anyone with little ones.

Dream Team Pets is offering my readers 30% off .

That is a great price and there is no better time since we are in the holiday season.

Chronos Pharma Super Premium 5 HTP Review

Super Premium 5 HTP Mood and Weight Support

Dietary Supplement from ChronosPharma

Do you want to proactive about your emotional well being? Emotional eating? Anxiety? Lack of motivation? Want to improve sleeping patterns? If you can say yes to any of these questions and you want to use a safe, natural  way to do so then you might want to try Chronos Pharma`s 5-HTP.  Just two capsules a day and you may be on your way to a healthier and happier life. Chronos Pharma states their products are made from the best ingredients, by the most qualified professionals and at a state of the art FDA approved facility!

 Chronos Pharma states years of research went into perfecting their product so you could have the best possible results. 

So, I ordered these off of Amazon and decided to put these to the test. Anyone who truly knows me

will tell you, sometimes my mood is unstable. Not like psycho unstable, but some days my mood is better then others. I think this is true for most people at some point in their lifetime.

I may also be a little overweight, and these are supposed to also include a appetite suppressant and helps fight headaches and fibromyalgia pain.

These are also supposed to help prevent anxiety and help you sleep better.

This is quite the pill isn't it?

60 Easy to Swallow Capsules
Made In The USA

The main ingredient listed on the bottle is Hydroxytryptophan.
I had to do a little research on Drugs.Com to find out exactly what Hydroxytryptophan was and I wanted to share it with you.

5-hydroxytryptophan, also known as 5-HTP, is a dietary supplement made from the seeds of the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia.

5-hydroxytryptophan has been used in alternative medicine as an aid to relieve the symptoms of anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, insomnia, chronic headaches, premenstrual syndrome, binge-eating related to obesity, attention deficit disorder, and chronic headaches. 5-hydroxytryptophan has also been used in treating certain seizures and symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Not all uses for 5-hydroxytryptophan have been approved by the FDA. 5-hydroxytryptophan should not be used in place of medication prescribed for you by your doctor. -Drugs.Com

These pills arrived very quickly. Right to my door. I just love Amazon.
The bottle contains 60 capsules.
First thing I noticed, that really bugs me is there is no child proof lid on these.
So, if you order these, please be sure to keep them in a safe place.
The suggested use is 1-2 capsules taken at bedtime with 8 ounces of water or directed by a health professional.

I really want to give Chronos Pharma props on that statement above. I have tried various pills from Amazon and some of the bottles do not suggest anything about checking with a health professional. Good Job!
The bottle also has a caution on it for pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18, or if you are already taking any prescription medication or anti depressants.
May cause drowsiness.
I suggest talking with your health professional when taking or trying anything new.

After taking my first pill before bed, I can now understand the caution warnings about drowsiness.
I am going to be honest here, I like to feel drowsy before bed, it helps me sleep better instead of my mind wandering off to far away places.
When I woke up in the morning, I was no longer drowsy and I could start my day as any other day.
I continued this routine for a few days, and my sleeping habits improved dramatically.
I felt fine throughout the day, I didn't feel depressed or angry, but I usually don't anyways.
I did notice that my eating habits decreased a little, 2 pieces of pizza instead of 3.
 I did not feel like I had to drink the whole soda. I didn't even have a dessert craving. Good Stuff!

I don't have fibromyalgia, so I can't speak on that, but I did not get any headaches that I can think of, and I didn't feel sore after sitting at the computer desk for so long. Happy Happy Joy Joy!

With all of this said, I think the biggest plus of these pills for me is helping to regulate my sleeping patterns and help me with suppressing my appetite.
I am going to continue taking these and I may have to buy another bottle if my appetite continues to improve.

One last thing I want to share is that earlier in this blog post, (near the top) Chronos Pharma states their products are made from the best ingredients, by the most qualified professionals and at a state of the art FDA approved facility.

However, the bottle states "These statements have not been evaluated by The Food And Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease."

ADOVIA MINERAL SKIN CARE REVIEW

INTENSIVE ANTI-WRINKLE CREAM from ADOVIA

Hey Everyone, I am going to cut to the chase on this review and let you know right away that I found something I totally love that you can use on your skin! Yep, that's right! I love this stuff!
It is an Intensive Anti-Wrinkle Cream from Adovia Mineral Skin Care.
There are so many positives about this cream and I am so excited to share!
First let me tell you a little about this company.

Adovia is a unique skin care line, they combine natural ingredients with modern science to formulate an effective blend of minerals and the finest herbal ingredients nature has to offer.
The vital nutrients, anti-oxidants and minerals present in Adovia products are responsibly gathered at the place closest to the soul of Mother Earth-The Dead Sea!

I think that is so cool!
This intensive Anti-Wrinkle Cream has Dead Sea Minerals, Seaweed and Aloe Vera.
Like I said I am totally digging this new cream. It comes in a beautiful glass jar, it weighs 1.7 fl. oz.
You apply generously on to clean face and neck and gently massage in a circular motion until completely absorbed. For best results, use daily. It can also be used as a make up foundation.
I love how this cream, is actual cream. You can feel the quality right away. It is not some watered down crap like I have seen with other want to be creams.
It has a beautiful light fresh scent. After applying you can feel the difference in your skin. It almost seems to instantly wake you up by revitalizing those skin cells. It feels amazing!
After using this only for a week, I can notice such a difference! Yep, I got the Wow factor i have been looking for, which is really hard to do on my sensitive skin.
Adovia Intensive Anti-Wrinkle Cream is not tested on animals, that is a huge factor for me and I hope it is for you too.
Another positive I want to share with you is that the people at Adovia are very customer friendly.
That can mean the world of a difference. After ordering on Amazon, I actually received a very nice follow up email, addressing any questions or concerns. It is nice to know that Adovia is here for me as a consumer.
I encourage you to visit Adovia's website:
www.adoviaspa.com

Less then Two Week Until Halloween

Can you believe that there is less then 2 weeks until Halloween?

Last night I finally broke down and bought my sons costume online. I had to pay extra for expedited shipping but, it was well worth the peace of mind. So all 3 costumes are finally handled.

Next step is pumpkins.

Like I said yesterday, we have family over until Monday, so I really don't think we are going to make it to the pumpkin patch anytime soon, but it is weighing heavily in the back of my mind.

If you haven't got your pumpkins yet, I found some really great pumpkin picking tips from Care.com

* Avoid Mushy Pumpkins. Pumpkin should be firm all over

* No brown spots, even the tiniest brown spot could mean bugs have burrowed

* Go orange, discoloration is OK, but green could indicate something is wrong

* Good stems are hard, dark green to black

* Pay attention to shape, round/oval pumpkins make great canvases and more seeds for roasting

* Check for damage, this can affect the life of the pumpkin

Halloween Safety Tips 

With everything that is going on, us parents can sometimes get busy and overlook things. 

I just wanted to share some quick safety tips with you guys.

* Decorate costumes and treat bags with reflective tape 

* Be sure to have kids use flashlights or glow sticks to be easily seen by drivers

* Non-toxic face paint is better then a mask that a child may have trouble seeing out of

* Children under 12 should always be supervised

*  Make sure older children stay in groups and well lit areas

* When selecting a costume, make sure it fits correctly to avoid trips and falls

ANIMALS

Please remember, while Halloween is full of fun , sweets, parties, and excitement for us, it is not always the same for our pets.

Keep a close eye on your pets this time of year. If possible bring them in the home for the night. Halloween can be scary for them. People running through neighborhoods wearing costumes and invading their territory, anything could happen to your pet or a trick or treater.

Make sure there is no candy laying around or left out where your pet could get a hold of it.

Halloween is time where you never really know what may happen; trick, pranks & loud sounds can put your pet on edge.



Fun LED Light Up Devil Horns Review

Tired of trying to be that perfect Angel? Feeling a little devilish?
Want to leave a gag gift on your boss's doorstep?
OK, maybe not the last one, but check out these Fun Glowing Devil Horns.
The fit about 8-10 years old to 100!
They are super bright. They have an on/off switch and the batteries are replaceable.
I actually like them a lot more then I thought I would. They are very sturdy and do not slip off.
They flash on and off  and are a beautiful bright red color.
These are not the cheap little ones you get from discount dollar type stores.
The horns are see through and sparkle.
I really have a thing for shiny sparkly things like this.
They are very noticeable, especially when it is dark.
You could see them well from a far difference.
In fact, my kids get mad at me when I wear them because they are so bright and people stare.
I don't mind, I will wear them all year long just to embarrass them!

You can order your very own glowing devil horn on Amazon or click here:

Happy Friday & Mr. Beams Spotlight Review

WOO HOO!

HAPPY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17TH!!

Hey folks, TGIF! October is now officially half over. Wow, is time going by fast or what? I have been busy, busy, busy, but still I haven't seemed to complete anything 100%. This is a huge pet peeve for me, as I am somewhat OCD. The past few nights I have waken up in the middle of the night thinking about things that need done. I have promised myself I will do it this weekend but I remembered we have my brothers family coming to stay the weekend. It's going to be hectic.Sometimes I feel as if I need an extra 8 hours a day.

Anyone having any Halloween parties coming up? Have you got your costumes yet? Do you even know what you want to be? Have kids? What are they going as? My oldest (17) is going to be a princess. I think its great, compared to last year when she tried to go as a Victoria's Secret Angel.

My 12 year old is a horror freak like me. Don't worry, she can handle it. Every Halloween she tries to go above and beyond in the "scariness". This year we have decided to go with "Annabelle" . We tried a make up tutorial we saw on YouTube last weekend, she is going to look awesome! I have linked the video to my Google+ page.

My youngest hasn't completely decided on his costume. We are either going to go Angry Birds or Ninja. It will be decided on this weekend. The day after Halloween is also his birthday. He will be 7. 

Don't judge me, but I haven't even got his party together. I'm thinking pizza party or McDonald's. Hopefully they still have some available spots for his actual birthday. No worries, it will be handled this weekend.

Anyone have any cool plans for this weekend? Want to bring me a Mojito? I could definitely use one!

Sooo, with all that being said, please tune in Saturday & Sunday.  I will be sharing a few Halloween safety tips for families as well as pets. along with a few Halloween items I been playing with. 

Like board games? I will also be showing you a cool new game I was introduced to that can work your memory.

OK, I am off. Have a great weekend folks! Be sure to check in with me this weekend!

SMART WEIGH PRO POCKET SCALE

SMART WEIGH PRO POCKET SCALE REVIEW

Look at what I have been playing with! It's a digital scale that you can take on the go! It can easily fit in your purse, briefcase, or travel bag.

Now, your probably thinking to yourself, "why the heck would I need that?"

There are so many things that a digital scale can be used for.

I use to have a hobby/business in jewelry. 

I often needed a small scale to weigh things like gold jewelry, silver and diamonds. The jewelry business is very tricky, its always nice to have your own scale on hand when dealing with people you don't know well. 

It takes all the guesswork out of calculating postage. have you ever out an extra stamp on a letter or card because you weren't entirely sure if one stamp would be enough? Using this pocket scale makes it so much easier, those extra stamps can add up.

The Smart Weigh Pro Pocket Scale can do all that and so much more.

Great for coin collecting and measuring diet intake. You know a recipe may call for 1 ounce of a certain spice, well now you can actually see how much 1 ounce of that certain spice is. 

I bet you will be surprised.

During the holidays, sometimes the kids and I will make home made fudge to sell at the holiday swap meets. Using the Smart Weigh Pro Pocket Scale is a great way to make sure everything is uniformed in packaging!

Bright LED light for easy readability

The pro Pocket Scale has lots of capabilities such as:

* Weight Capacity of 500 grams with a wide measuring range

* It has a PCS function that makes it very easy to get an accurate count of what you are weighing

* It has two protective covers that double as expansion trays

* Offers multiple measuring modes

* The unique hold feature will lock the precise weight

* Contemporary design with stainless steel platform

* Chrome buttons

* Rubber grips placed at four corners for extra sturdiness

* Comes with two AAA batteries

Sometimes its just fun to weigh things

Like I have said before, I have worked many different places and have used pocket scales to weigh many different things.
The Smart Weigh Pro Pocket Scale is a very nice looking scale and works great. It is very light weight and very easy to read. Ii love that it has a well lit LED back light that lets you read what your weighing very easily.
It is great to have on hand for postage, and coins.
I am not going to brag and say that this is the best scale I have ever used, but it is also not the worst.
I was a little disappointed that the batteries seemed to die out within a few hours, and when I went to replace them I had the hardest time replacing the battery cover.
It also seems so lightweight that I don't know how long it will last, but that could just be my personal opinion.
By the way, it does have a two year warranty.
Other then that, I think it is a scale that is very capable of doing it's job.

If you would like to purchase The Smart Weigh Pro Pocket Scale, or read more review, you can find it on Amazon or Click Here:

Martha Clyne Extra-Deep Quilted Mattress Pad Review

A Great Night's Rest

Martha Clyne Extra-Deep Quilted Mattress Pad

Did you know that according to the American Time Use Survey Company, Americans spend an average of 7.7 hours a night sleeping. That is a total of 2,810.5 hours a year.

That's a lot of hours!

I think if your going to spend that many hours in bed, you need to be comfortable.

Luckily for us, there is an amazing new mattress pad from Martha Clyne that makes our lives a little easier, comfier and healthier.

I have been using The Martha Clyne Extra-Deep Quilted Mattress Pad for a few weeks now and I am very happy with it. I actually could notice a difference.

First of all let me tell you, I have a memory foam mattress, and it is a pretty deep mattress. I have already lost many fitted sheets to ripping them when trying to put them on.

That really chaps my hide!!

No worries when using this mattress pad though, this pad has extra thick pockets, they fit mattresses up to 18" deep. No tearing, bunching , slipping or sliding. Yeah Baby!

I have currently been using the Queen Size, it measures 60" x 80".

You can really see and feel the difference

It has a quilted platform with a hypoallergenic fill. That means it is great for those with allergies and asthma, no more sneezing and wheezing, just cool breathable comfort.
It has a soft poly Cotton top, very soft, but still light enough to easily carry and travel with.
I love that it is machine washable and dryer safe even for high heat settings, so you don't have to worry about it falling apart.
These mattress pads would make a great gift! I am giving one to my brother for Christmas since he has both allergies and asthma.
I would also recommend keeping an extra mattress pad on hand for traveling if you stay at hotels, it definitely adds peace of mind, plus it comes in a plastic zip case so it really is convenient.
Oh yeah, one more thing, Martha Clyne Mattress Pads have a 10 year warranty.
You really can't beat this deal!

The Martha Clyne Extra-Deep Quilted Mattress Pad is by far my favorite mattress pad and does belong on the list of Getta's Got To Have Its.

You can order The Martha Clyne Extra-Deep Quilted Mattress here on Amazon:

GLOW STICK BRACELETS-100 GLOW BRACELETS REVIEW

GLOW BRACELET REVIEW 

One of my favorite things about blogging is sometimes we get perks. We get to try an item in exchange for our honest thorough review. I considered myself pretty lucky when I got to try and test 100 Glow Stick Bracelets. I knew it was going to be fun because I got to involve my kids. After all, kids are sometimes our best and honest reviewers.

You can order 

Super Bright Longest Lasting Glow Stick 100 Premium Quality Glow Stick Bracelets by SuperBright from http://www.amazon.com/

They shipped pretty fast, I think we received them in about 10 days so there is still definitely time to order them for Halloween. They come in a hard canister hat keeps them safe.

100 Glow Bracelets Come Beautifully Packaged

I pop the lid and this is the inside view

They include colors like blueish purple, hot pink, neon yellow and green. They also come with plastic fasteners so you can make bracelets, rings or necklaces out of them.

100 Glow Bracelets and bracelet fasteners

When it comes to using glow sticks the possibilities are really endless.  They are 8 inches long and non toxic. They are also CPSIA compliant.

My Son Loved Making Some Bling Bling

My Little Flower Girl

Having Fun

They are really starting to shine

We decided to take the canister with us to a community event that my town was putting on called Movies On Main Street. You can find out more about that event in my previous blog post: http://gettasgottohaveits.blogspot.com/2014/10/movie-on-main-street.html
We had thought it would be fun to share with all the other kids and add some color to the night. My kids took turns passing out one glow stick bracelet and fastener to all their peers. It was really cute to see my 6 year old son passing these out, especially to girls his age.
The other kids and their parents seemed quite thrilled to receive these.
Once the sun set, you could see neon colors popping everywhere.
Most of the time the colors were very bright but I did notice a few colors starting to fade quickly. I also got a few complaints that the bracelets actually leaked a few times, you could see evidence of this on the grass and sidewalk, however the colors were beautiful.
It seemed as if the bracelets lasted only about 5 or 6 hours before completely dying out.
For the most part, it was a lot of fun and the kids really appreciated it.
If you check them out on Amazon, you will see they have a really good deal going for 100 of them.
Most of the time we buy these from our dollar stores and they are $1.00 Each.
These would be great for school carnivals, class parties or even to pass out to Trick or Treaters.

I decided to wait until the morning after I received this package to try it. I decided to add it to my morning smoothie of OJ, strawberries, bananas and yogurt. I added 1 heaping tablespoon and also a cup of fresh ice and blended for about 1 minute.
OK, guys, I got to be honest, it was not the most attractive breakfast I have ever see.
I didnt realize it until I opened it but Spirulina powder is a dark green fine powder. I'm talking really dark green. Like green/black. OK, I have to be truthful and let you know that I sometimes have a problem eating really unattractive foods, especially in the morning. My children do too. my kids looked at it and walked quickly out of the kitchen.
I decided to blend my smoothie an extra 30 seconds just to make sure everything was blended evenly.
I tried it, honestly, it really wasn't that bad. I couldn't really even taste it compared to the orange juice. I was pretty shocked and I have decided that this is something I do like and  want to continue.
I tried it a few more times in different recipes. I added it to my oatmeal once, but decided that was not my cup of tea. I like to juice so I made up a great recipe using Spirulina, tomatoes, radishes, celery, broccoli , carrots and orange juice, Pour on ice and it is mighty good.
After s few days, I have decided I feel better. More energized and I love the fact that I am doing something good for my body. Believe it or not, I am going to add Spirulina Powder to my list of got to have its!
Times are changing, there are some bad things going around, I really believe it is better to be safe then sorry.

Yalmeh Phytoceramides-Premium Quality Plant Based Supplement Review

Yalmeh Phytoceramides-Premium Quality Plant Based Supplement 

OK, all you beauty lovers, this one is for you! I have done a little research into a new company Yalmeh.
They specialize in Peerless Anti Aging Products.
I have found out that their products are made in the USA and not tested on animals!
As an animal lover that really does mean something to me.
They also are know for using natural and organic ingredients.
I have been working with the company and I have been lucky enough to try two of their newest products.
They are also very customer friendly!
That is one of my favorite things to add to my blog posts. I am all for customer service.
So, in appreciation of that these next two blog posts will be dedicated to Yalmeh.

The first product from Yalmeh I want to talk about is the
YALMEH PEERLESS ANTI-AGING PHYTOREJUVENATE
 Phytoceramides-Premium Quality Plant Based Supplements.
Wow, that's a mouthful to say isn't it.
Basically it is a 100% natural dietary supplement with phytoceramides, (potato derived ceramides)
 It comes in a pill form and there are 30 veggie capsules per bottle.
However, be warned, the bottle is not child safe. There is no child proof locking lid.
Okay, but what does it do?
*Works to Reduce Wrinkles
* Helps to Moisturize Skin
* Gluten & GMO Free
* Works to Reduce Fine Lines
 Phytoceramides are plant based ceramides that help keep the skin hydrated and plump. They work to restore the outer layer of your skin, smoothing out wrinkles and giving you a radiant glow.
These can be used for men or women.
They are full of vitamins and I can tell you they have over 100% of FDA recommended daily value of vitamins A, C, D, & E just by taking one pill a day.
So It looks as if the makers of Yalmeh are making products that are good for you from the inside-out.

Well, I have been taking these for about 3 weeks now, I take one in the morning after breakfast with a full glass of water. They are basically tasteless and easy to swallow.
I really wish I could sit here and tell you that I woke up this morning with the same skin i had when I was 21, but the truth is, well at least in my opinion, there is no miracle pill for that.
However, i will say that after using Yalmeh Peerless Anti Aging Phytorejuvenate for a while I will say that yes, my skin has a more of a natural glow and yes it does seem to be more soft. I actually realized that I didn't have to use so much lotion this morning after my shower. I also feel better. I usually don't take vitamins, but these actually seem to make me feel a little more energized. They do have 100% daily allowance of 4 different vitamins, so that must be it.
Unfortunately my little fine lines and wrinkles are still around my eyes and mouth, but I earned every one of those lines and it took 36 years so I am sure it will probably take longer then 3 weeks to get rid of them, if that is even truly possible.
Like I said before Yalmeh is a really great company and you may want to check them out. They have great customer service and 100 Guarantee. For more information go to:

Or call 1-866-524-6665

GAFFER TAPE REVIEW

Gaffer Tape by GafferPower

This review is from: Professional Premium Grade Gaffer Tape - Black 2 Inch - 30 Yards - Heavy Duty Pro Gaff Tape - Strong, Tough and Powerful, Secures Cables, Holds Down Wires Leaving No Sticky Residue - Very Easy to Tear - Non- Reflective - Water Proof - Multipurpose for Around the House - Better Than Duct Tape - For the True Professional. Order Risk Free - 100% Moneyback Guarantee. Gafferpower© (Office Product)

First of all, I would like to say that my order for Gaffer Tape was put in on 9/23/14 & I received it on 9/24/14 from the USPS. That is mighty fast. So I was already a impressed, which is good because the price does seem to be a little on the heavy side. Well you know the old saying, you get what you pay for, it is very true because Gaffer Tape from the Gaffer Power company is really high quality. You can actually feel the difference from other tapes as soon as you get it. This tape is much heavier then any other tape I have ever tried.
I received the black tape. It is a flat black in color which is much nicer then other tapes because you don't get that shine look that stands out when your trying to use tape discreetly. Its 2 inches in width and approximately 30 yards. It is threaded with a magical type fiber that is really strong yet very easy to tear.

I am a mom of 3 kids, I really did not think I would be so easily impressed by"Tape" but I truly am.
I used Gaffer Tape to tie and hold all my wires together and in place that were sticking out of the side of my entertainment center. You know the wires I am talking about, those black wires from the TV, DVD, Cable, Surround Sound Speakers, Game Consoles, etc. Our entertainment center is made of glass and all those pesky wires were such an eyesore before and now it looks 100x better.
Like I said before, Gaffer Tape is so easy to use and you really do not need any other tools when using it, like scissors or anything because even though it is very strong it is super easy to tear. As a mom, that's a big plus!
I did receive Gaffer Tape free to try and test in exchange for my honest opinion and I am really glad I did.
It is going to be put to great use now that the holidays are coming, and I will be able to use it in putting out my decorations since it is also waterproof.Far better then duct tape and electrical tape!

I would also like to let you know that it comes in white to which is great for falt screen tvs that are mounted on the walls.

WRITING DARK STORIES EBOOK REVIEW

I recently was lucky enough to read and review WRITING DARK STORIES

BY RAYNE HALL

This is an Ebook that is easily ordered from Amazon

I saw an advertisement this book and I knew I had to read it since I personally love to write and blog and because my daughter who is 12 also loves to write scary stories. I thought this would be an excellent book project that we could both read and work on together. 

Rayne Hall is an amazing author and not only that, she is also very knowledgeable when it comes to writing, storytelling and helping aspiring authors really say what they are feeling and putting that into words.

WRITING DARK STORIES is the 6th installment of her WRITING CRAFT BOOKS.

What I really found interesting about this book is that Hall clearly defines that everyone is different, and the suggestions she has written, are just that, you do not have to use her suggestions, or you can use a combination of them, 

I did a little research on what other reviewers of WRITING DARK STORIES had to say about this book, and a few of them upset me because they stated the book didn't give them good enough ideas or story lines, I don't want to go to into depth on that but I believe it is up to the author to make up their own stories, plots and characters. 

This is a writing technique book. It will help enrich your writing, not too restrict your writing. This book helps bring us out of the box, and add that extra spine tingling touch that us as writers want our readers to feel. After all, this is why we read and write dark stories isn't it?

I would like to first state that this is written in British English and I am a Californian who has never traveled overseas and I could follow it just fine!

I really could go on and on about the subject matter that Hall has shared in this book, but then you wouldn't need to purchase it, so instead I am just going to touch on some of our favorite and not so favorite parts.

My daughter and I both agreed one of our favorite chapters was Chapter 1. It is titled:

FEED YOUR FICTION WITH YOUR FEARS

It really helps started our creative process flowing and Hall really explains in it a way that easy for a teen to understand but also in depth enough for an experienced author.

At the end of every chapter Hall as an assignment for you to partake in, I was not expecting that as I have never read any of her other books, but we found it very helpful and encouraging.

My daughter and I also found Chapter 3 extremely interesting as there is a section titled PROMPTS that gives you some great coping skills for and tips for dealing with writers block.

Hall gives new meaning to horror genres as she covers topics like horror, splatter plunk, extreme horror, dystopian, and many more, Its like having your own dark glossary but with a fresh twist.

Chapter 6 is one I personally enjoyed as well as it teaches you how to write and acknowledge different characters point of view.

Chapter 8 & 9 were awesome and my daughters ultimate favorites as she could really relate.

In these chapters, Hall explains how to creatively write and give that anxiety type feel and also how to get visceral. Excellent advice!

I do have to admit that some of the ending how to chapters do feel a little redundant at times, but I do understand that Hall is trying to be as informative as possible.

Chapter 13, 

HOW TO END YOUR STORY

This has some very good advice and great points. The ending is supposed to be the climax and leave you wanting more.

I know of quite a few popular authors who could use this chapter. There has been so many times when I have been reading a good book and the ending is just a mess. it can ruin the whole book. Hall explains how not to do this.

WRITING DARK STORIES also help you understand your readers more and in the very end Hall also gives you examples of some of her copy written stories that when you read, you can now relate to what you have read and learned in WRITING DARK STORIES.

In closing I want to say that if you are an author or thinking of becoming an author of dark stories you may want to seriously considering purchasing this ebook. This is a book that will remain on our Kindle and be used throughout our writing career.

Author Rayne Hall's kitty Sulu.  Hall rescued Sulu from the shelter.

COCKTAILS ON THE GO REVIEW

Do you love to go to sporting events, games, clubs but hate to pay the big prices on the small cocktail drinks served to you?

Well, now you don't have to worry about shelling out those hard earned dollars!

Intoducing COCKTAILS ON THE GO

From SEVEN LIGHT INVESTMENTS LLC

I saw an ad for Cocktails On The Go & I had to try them so Seven Lights Investments LLC sent me a free pack to try in exchange for my honest review and opinion.

I was so super stoked to get these and try them because I as most of you know, I like to have a good time but I hate to pay those hefty fees. I mean come on, $12 for a small beer at a game? I don't have those funds all the time. I have 3 kids and bills I got to take care of, but I don't want to miss out!

So I got my Cocktails On The Go ! The picture above is what you get. You get 2 16oz plastic packets and 1 32oz packet. You also get 2 funnels included to help fill up your packet with your favorite cocktails. They also include 3 safety caps for each packet so you do not have to worry about unexpected leaks!
Ok, so basically the idea is to fill these with your favorite drinks (Non Carbonated) and take them along on your outings. The possibilities are really endless. They can fit in your waistline, jacket pocket or even suitcase or purse.
Want to know something really cool, you can actually pass through metal detectors, and security wands without being detected. You can easily take them to games, night clubs, casinos, cruises, theme parks, school, work or even on airplanes! 
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!
YOU CAN MAKE & TAKE YOUR OWN LONG ISLAND ICE TEAS, MARTINIS, SCREWDRIVERS, ETC
You can freeze them and they are easily washed by hand.

I do recommend you thoroughly read and follow the directions, I did and I had no problems, except that my brother saw them and stole one of the packets!

I definitely put Cocktails On The Go on my personal lift of GETTA'S GOT TO HAVE ITS.

These also make great gifts!

Check them out on Amazon, here is the link:

Also, if you order now and enter this promotional code during check out, you will save 10%

One more thing I would like to add is that this company is very personable, after I received my order, they sent me follow up messages and even a recipe to make and carry in my Cocktails On The Go. That doesn't happen often. So what would you do if you had Cocktails On The Go?
