I received Aurorae's Slip Free Yoga Mat sized Towel. Great for Hot/Active Yoga. Eco Safe, Hygienic, Super Absorbent Multi-purpose Lush Micro-fiber material. Sport Size 30" x 20", Long Mat Size 72"x24", 9 New Beautiful Colors that will Match/Coordinate with our Mats. 2 Year Full Guarantee, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I received a blue towel.

I wanted to review the towel because my old yoga towel was not slip free, which was not good for me when I did mid to high intensity exercises.

The towel is made from a lush, terry-cloth like material, which feels wonderful to touch. I fell asleep on the yoga mat a few times. The yoga mat towel is so comfortable.

The mat did move some but not as much as my former yoga mat towel.

You can purchase the yoga mat towel in a variety of colors on Amazon. You can purchase a sport towel or a yoga towel. The towels are prime-eligible. Prices vary.

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.

Toolani Cheap International Phone Calls (Sponsored Post)

This is a sponsored post. I will be entered into a drawing for a prize for participation.

Toolani is a new website/app, which allows you to call people internationally. I wish I had this service when I went to the Bahamas in August. My phone did not work, but my laptop could connect wirelessly around the island. I did not bring it off the boat because I did not want to carry with me, along with my kids and their bags. I did have my phone, which had international calling, which did not work in Nassau or Paradise Island.

On the Island, I was not able to contact my mother or niece to meet up anywhere, so the family was on two different excursions.

With Toolani, You dial people overseas using a local number. You can use Toolani Flex, which uses one local number to call all your international contacts. Toolani Flex is best if you have many foreign phone numbers.

You also have Toolani Direct, which uses a different number for each of your international contacts. You get a different local number for each contact.

You can dial numbers from the website or from the app (available on Android and iOS)

It is free to sign up. Rates for usage do apply (calls and SMS messages).

The Giant and the Dwarf by Dov Yanai Book Review (Tomoson)

This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links and Images





I read THE GIANT and THE DWARF, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The book was written by Dov Yanai

The story is about a brother and sister. The brother is tall and no one notices him, when he passes by. His sister, on the other hand, is small and people stared at her or was scared of her. She was different and knew it.

The Giant was his sister's protector. He would confront people and stare at them back. Both the brother and sister have their issues, but they also both need each other to survive.

The book was a quick read. I finished it in one sitting. Yanai did a good job writing the book.

You can purchase the book on Amazon in Kindle format only.

Gluten Free Cookbook for Slow Cookers Review (Third Voice)

This posts contains Amazon Affiliate Links and Images.




I read The Gluten-Free Cookbook for Slow Cookers: A Delicious Variety of Easy Gluten-Free Recipes for Every Meal, in exchange for honest review from Third Voice. I wanted to read the book because my nephew is allergic to gluten, and a vegetarian. Cooking for him, when he visits, is hard work.

I wanted to find recipes, the nephew can eat when he visits on the weekends

I liked how the book is hyperlinked so I can jump to pages needed. I also can bookmark recipes needed either on the kindle app or my kindle. One of the first recipes, which stood out, was the vegetarian lasagna. I never thought about making lasagna in the crock pot.

I also liked how the book included dietary restrictions at the top of each page. I can see what the restrictions are and modify as needed for whoever I am cooking for.

Normally, I cook rice and beans in the crock pot, or maybe a pot of chili, the book gives me new options on how to cook for my family.

I received  Suddora Stripes Head Sweatband and Striped Wrist Sweatband (2), in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I used the sweat bands while working out or just walking around the block.

The bands are thick and soft enough, but I don't recommend wearing them for too long, especially if you have sensitive skin. After about 20-30 minutes, the bands started to feel uncomfortable and started to itch. I try to keep most of my workouts under 20, but I went too long that day. Other than that, I have not had any issues with the products.

I continue to use them, especially now the El Frio has blown into Texas, bringing bursts of coldness into my home lol.

You can purchase the Patriotic bands and other bands in various colors and styles on Suddora's Amazon page.  The bands come individually wrapped. The bands are not prime-eligible

The Publicist by Christina George Book Review (iRead Book Tour)

This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.

I read The Publicist, in exchange for honest review from iRead Book Tours. I received an audio copy of the book.

About the Book:

Behind every book, there’s always more to the story.

Can one woman change an age-old institution like publishing? Probably not, but Kate Mitchell sure wants to try. As a publicist with a large, respected New York publishing house, Kate finds herself at the mercy of a broken publishing system, books that don’t always sell (at all) and author egos that are often, well, as big as the island of Manhattan.

Enter the star Editor, MacDermott Ellis. Tall, handsome, charismatic, married, and ready to save the day. Kate wants to do the right thing but her hormones seem to be driving her decisions. Then there’s Allan Lavigne, once a revered author, now as forgotten as yesterday’s news; and his nephew Nick, who wants to sweep Kate away from New York for another coast, California.

As Kate tries to navigate the landmine of publicity, the over-the-top author expectations, and the careful dance of “I’m sorry, your book isn’t on the bestseller list this week”, she also finds authors who are painfully overlooked by a publisher wanting more sex, more celebrities, and more scandal.

Author's Bio:

Christina George has worked in publishing for twenty years (give or take). Here’s what this book isn't. It’s not a slam against publishing (though it is broken) and it’s not a slam against authors (though some of them are crazy). This book is not autobiographical though many of the stories are true. No you won’t know which ones, cause it’s more fun to guess, right? George continues to work in publicity and helps authors because at the end of the day she does love books, she loves publishing, and she loves authors. She hopes you’ll enjoy this romp through Kate’s world as much as she enjoyed creating it.

My Review

I loved listening to the book. I tried to Chromecast it to play on the tv, while cleaning, but Silverlight didn't like me. So, I turned off the tv and listened from the computer. 

Kate is a publicist, who helps upcoming authors with their books. In the first scene, she is helping one, hysterical author, keep from jumping off a ledge. Kate also has a crush on an editor at work (Mac), who is married, but is cheating. 

I think the scene, which grabbed me the most, was when George focused on Mac's wife miscarriage, 20 or so years ago. I really felt for his wife, since I had a miscarriage before. The wife withdrew and moved into a separate room. She also has not been intimate with her husband since. 

Then, you have Grace, Kate's good friend, who tries to keep Kate on the straight and narrow, especially from falling for Mac.

The book flowed well from one chapter to the next. I was on chapter 11 within a few hours. I also loved the scene, where Bernie, a low grade editor, forgets to order enough books for a book signing, Kate is helping promote. When Kate arrives at the book signing to set-up, she learns Bernie only ordered 20 books, when 200 people have arrived to see the authors. 

Kate is not trying to fail because she has a hot book, she was promised to help promote, which will help jumpstart her career. No more hysterical authors to keep from jumping. or authors crying over a bad review (which I know the feeling)

Nature Health D-Gas Natural, Anti-Gas Product Review (Tomoson)

This post contains Amazon Affiliate links and images.




I received Nature Health D-Gas Natural Anti-Gas, Digestive Aid and Gas Relief, 60 Count in exchange for honest review. D-Gas is an natural digestive aid product. The product is also 100% vegan.

I was not sure what to expect when applying for this product, but I am happy to say, the product works too well. The product helps relieve gas and keeps your digestive system regular. I take 2-3 capsules before I go to bed at night. The first night, I felt regular for 3 days before taking another set. After taking the pills, the medicine worked immediately for gas. I also noticed an increase in bowel movements. I do recommend using a stool softener. Your body will be regular but doesn't mean it will make your bowels move easy. After taking the pills on a daily basis, I definitely been making frequent bathroom trips, every few hours. You also will be gassy on a regular basis.

You can purchase the product on Amazon in either 60 or 120 capsules. The pills are not prime-eligible

FoxMind Time in a box Sponsored Post (US Family Guide)

This post was sponsored by US Family Guide Bloggers Program. I will receive a Time in a Box for participation.

FoxMind has created a unique gifts for families. The Time in a Box was created by psychologist and writer, Rute Moreira, as a way to explore art and science; a chance to plan the future, and think about the past.
David Capon, President of FoxMind, explained, "The benefits of Time in a Box extend beyond the product itself because it creates uninterrupted quality moments with the family and reinforces social-emotional connections. It also aims to reinforce the child's feeling of connection to a larger community such as the neighborhood or the town where he or she lives."

When you give Time in a Box, (MSRP $17.95 for 2 players ages 6 and up) you are offering a child you care about the gift no one else in the world can give them: your time. Inside the box you'll find 96 activity cards that allow a child to momentarily shift your priorities and focus on doing a special activity together, such as playing a board game; solving a puzzle; starting a family tree; making a blanket fort; or carrying out an act of kindness that will bring a smile to a stranger's face. Time in a Box includes a simple written agreement between you and the child that sets the ground rules by which you'll both abide. Adults should switch off their smart phones and get ready for some quality time!

"Season-by-season, Time in a Box is a gift that inspires activities that provide a wealth of ways to make memories together and the unique and beautiful box can serve as a memory chest where pictures and notes can be collected and treasured," Capon said.

This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.

I read Daniel's Crazy Chocco Party, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The book was written by Lisabeth Portherough and illustrated by Jon Burgess. I received a paperback book.

The book appears to a part of a marketing campaign for a website, which is currently down.

The book is about Daniel, who loves chocolate. For his birthday, Daniel has a chocolate party with the works: chocolate invitations and party games, all involve chocolate. One of the games was passing a bar of chocolate down the line, from friend to friend. Daniel was a happy chocoholic .

The book was a quick read. I also loved Burgess's illustrations. I read the book to my great niece and son to teach them a few new words.

#FoxBrim Youth Radiance Eye Cream #ProductReview (Tomoson)

I received Fox Brim Eye Cream for Dark Circles and Puffiness, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. No other compensation was provided.

I wanted to review the cream for it's vitamins: The Vitamin C, Vitamin C, not to mention the Aloe, which helps soothes. The cream also helps moisturize around my eyes.

The trick is to use very little. Too much and it can feel heavy. My son figured out how to take the dispenser off and I been learning to use little since I don't have the cap or dispenser. Without the cap, I have to keep the cream covered or it will dry out.

The cream has a light scent. The cream also can be used as a facial moisturizer. I have used the cream on both my eyes and face.

You can purchase the cream on Amazon. The cream is prime-eligible. The cream is also currently on sale for under $20.
