I received a print of Maya Angelou's Poetry in exchange for honest review from Chez Lorraine's. Lorraine has a beautiful collection of prints for sale through Etsy. I wanted to review the print because I am a fan of Maya Angelou and loved the print. I received a small and a huge print for review.

The prints are simply beautiful. Lorraine has a talent for design and art. I am definitely interested in buying a few of the flower prints in the future. Check out more of her work using the social media links below.

10 days without by Daniel Day Book Review (Blogging for Books)

I read Ten Days Without: Daring Adventures in Discomfort That Will Change Your World and You, in exchange for honest review from Blogging for Books. I received a paperback version of the book. The book was written by Daniel Ryan Day.

I wanted to review the book because the description sounded Amazon. Day went 10 days without a particular item to raise money for different organizations. For 10 days, he went without shoes. For another 10 days, he went without speaking. 10 days without a coat, without furniture, without legs.


The book made me think about what could I give up for 10 days. I can't give up my phone, even though I rarely make calls because I have kids. Can't give up parts of social media because I am a blogger and student. Can't give up internet because I am a student.

I can go 10 days without sweets. without snacks. without a coat. without going out to eat or ordering delivery.  without sex (since I been celibate for over 3 years). maybe I can try to go 10 days without arguing or fussing or getting angry at my kids.

I think the book teaches people about gratitude. People are suffering everyday and would be grateful for the simple things, such as a coat or a pair of shoes. Day used going without to help others in need.

The book was a great read. Definitely adding this to my re-read pile.
