Chomp Sticks Review (Brandbacker)

I received 6 samples of Chomp Sticks, in exchange for honest and unbiased review. I received the original flavor, jalapeno (Hoppin Jalapeno), and a cranberry habanero blend (Crankin Cran). I loved the original beef jerky the most. The stick had great flavor and bite. I normally don't eat spicier foods, but I tried both the jalapeno and cranberry habanero. The habanero was less spicy (to me) than the jalapeno.

Chomp Snack Sticks are made with 100% non-GMO grass-fed angus beef, sourced from New Zealand. The sticks contain no artificial ingredients and are shelf-stable because they use celery juice.

You can save money on your bathroom and general cleaning needs by downloading one of the many coupons. I recently visited a DG in my area. I was surprised at the size and selection of the store. I don't live in a DG territory. I have two Family Dollars in the area and two Dollar Trees, which takes about 15-20 minutes to drive to. We had a DG but it closed down recently, but a new one just opened up. The store had plenty of Scott paper products. I am still working through my rolls of toilet paper and paper towels. Normally, paper towels only last a few days in this household and toilet paper, a while, since I am the only potty trained person, who uses the bathroom.

The toilet paper is soft and absorbent.

The store also has bonus packs, available until February, 2016. You can purchase one of the following bonus packs:

1. SCOTT® 1000 Bath Tissue, 16 pack (2 Free Rolls)

Top 12 places to visit in Texas by Judy Rookstool Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.





I received Jody Rookstool's Top 12 Places to Visit in Texas. in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I received a paperback book.

I was born and raised in Texas, but I hardly have visited anywhere. I moved away and now back in Texas for the past 5 years and still rarely go anywhere. The last place I visited in Texas was San Antonio. We visited my favorite park, Morgans Wonderland; went to the caverns (free tickets from US Family Guide), and walked downtown. I did pass by the Alamo but that was it. We went to the Schlitterbahn in 2014 (never again for me and my kids).

I wanted to learn more about where to visit in Texas, whenever I get a chance to. The book provides 12 places to visit and I have only visited one of them: Space Center Houston, when I was in high school. AFJROTC field trip. The other places include:

1. Padre Island National Seashore
2. Moody Gardens
3. The Lights of Marfa
4. Dinosaur Valley State Park
5. The Hill of James Magee
6. Cadillac Ranch
7. Gorgan Falls
8. Big Texan Steak Ranch
9. Fort Worth Stockyards
10. Enchanted Rock State Natural Area
11. Washington on the Brazos

A lot of these places, I never heard of, let alone know where they are located. The author provides a history of each place, things to do, and links to the webpages. 

You can purchase the book on Amazon, using the link above. The book comes in paperback and kindle format. 

Philippians by Sue Edwards Book Review (Kregel Blog Tours)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links




I received Philippians: Discovering Joy Through Relationship (Discover Together Bible Study Series) by Sue Edwards, in exchange for honest review from Kregel Blog Tours. I received a paperback book

The book discusses how to develop a stronger relationship with God using Paul and his tour through Phillippia. Paul had a strong relationship with God after his conversion. He developed friendships with the Philippians.

One of the first things, which stood out in the book was when the author said, people are connected superficially through technology, but less connected to face to face relationships. This is true for me since I have no face to face friendships in Texas. The people I talk to the most are school workers, church staff (love my church), and medical professionals. I lead a lonely life. The author said we are made for community and can not survive without it (p. 9)

The book also has qr codes you can scan for videos. There is also a link to show the videos online. The one thing I did not like was some of the side notes are in a fancy, small font, and I can not read them at all.  The book does provide plenty of space for writing your thoughts and notes. I also like the maps in the book. The book consists of eight lessons.

You can purchase the book on Amazon, using the link above. The book is prime-eligible. The book comes in paperback and

Greenco Heavy Duty Mesh Hamper Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.

I received Greenco, Heavy Duty, Space Saver, Folding Pop-up Portable Mesh Laundry Hamper, High Capacity and Super Lightweight (Black), in exchange for honest review from Tomoson.


I needed a new hamper for laundry. I do like how the hamper folds when not in use. You have to snap the snaps to secure it.  You do have to hold it with a good grip when taking it up and down the steps. It also needs a good grip when filling it up with clothes. When you first start filling it up, it tries to collapse, but once it has clothes on the bottom, it stays in place.


You can purchase the hamper, using the link above. The hamper is prime-eligible.

40 watt Chandelier Bulbs Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.

I received Enlightened Ambience 40 Watt Antique Edison Style Chandelier Light Bulb Medium base (E26) Dimmable with Flame Tip Set of 6 in exchange for honest review.


I was undecided whether to put these in my bathroom or in the downstairs chandelier, but after trying them out in the bathroom, the bathroom won. The light bulbs have an orange glow, which matches with the orange paint, along the ceiling and top half of my bathroom. The lights are warmer than the light bulb in the center of the room (which is funny because the center lightbulb is one of those energy efficient coiled light bulbs). I like the ambience in the bathroom. I can give the center light bulb a break and use the edison lights.

The Lion Hero Comic Book (Kregel Blog Tours)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.





I receuved The Lion Comic Book Hero Bible, in exchange for honest revuew from Kregel Book Tour. The book was written by Siku, Richard Thomas, and Jeff Anderson.

The book is amazing. It presents the bible in an comic book format with amazing illustrations. This is a novel way for kids and adults to view the bible.  The back of the book also provides references for all the stories presented.

Next, I like how the word of God are presented in a different box from the other speakers in the book. God's words are in a circular box with points, while everyone else is in a square type box. The graphics also vary based on the scene. I liked the scene where Cain killed Abel. The scene was a bit dark, while sin, represnted as a demon or ghoul stood behind Cain, as he glazed upon his dead brother.

I also liked the scene when Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed. I also liked the graphic of Lot's wife as a pillar of salt.

Some parts of the book are harder to read. Dark colored words on a dark background.

Ryan Judd Sleep Soundly Insomia CD Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.





I wanted this cd because I am a nght owl, who struggles to sleep at night. When I really need to sleep, I have to force myself or pop a sleeping pill. The cd consists of a nice musical track with a person providing breathing exercises and visualizations. I liked the breathing exercises. It helped me calm down, even when I was not trying to sleep. Being calm at night is good instead of my normal, frantical self.

You can purchase the cd using the link above.

I received Migraine Relief Supplement ✮ With PA Free Butterbur Root ­ Feverfew Extract Riboflavin Plus Magnesium ✮For Maximum Prevention of Migraines And Headaches| 60 Capsules By Nature's Nectar in exchange for honest review from Tomoson.

I been suffering from migraines since I was a teenager. I have tried everything from traditonal otc meds to a migraine triple action pack, given in the emergency room. I don't know what all was in that triple shots, but morphine was the last shot, which worked so well.

I wanted to try these pills to see if my headaches would also go away. The pills do not work as fast as what I normally use, but it did work eventually. '
