Deep Sleep Gummies by Natural Dynamix Product Review (Tomoson)

I reviewed Adult Gummy Vitamins in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The product was developed by Natural Dynamix. I wanted to review the product for two reasons: I need to go to sleep sometimes. Being a night owl sometimes requires me to go to bed early and it's hard to do. The second reason is my 12 year old uses melatonin to sleep. I have tried pills, liquid, and dissolvable melatonin. For the most part, he goes to sleep at night, but other nights, the melatonin does not take and my child is up all night long.

The gummy vitamins contains 5 mg of melatonin, which is the exact amount I give Brad each night. The whole family has been taking these vitamins (people, 12 and over), to the point where my mother bought her own gummy vitamins (not from natural dynamix though).

The first night, my son slept for about 3 hours straight, which is a lot less than he normally sleeps, taking the liquid melatonin. My niece, 15, slept the whole night. She said she woke up refreshed. I also liked the gummies. I slept for about 4 hours straight. My mother slept for about 3 hours straight. I am not sure how many hours my sister slept.


Now on to the issues, I had with the gummies:

  1. The gummies got stuck to each other in the bottle. They did not melt but you had to reach into the bottle and pull them apart to use them. 
  2. You need to put them up high--way high. It is a gummy. Kids may think it is candy. Brad took a few on his own and wanted more. 
  3. You need to hide them from relatives. You also need to use caution. I been using melatonin for a few years now. I normally get them from another website. When I got the gummies, my mother, sister, and niece wanted to try them I am not sure how much is too much for a gummy or any melatonin product. I had one relative, who wanted to take 4 gummies or 20 mg. I never even given Brad 20 mg. I refused to give my mother 20 mgs of melatonin. 
The gummies are 21.99 on Natural Dynamix. The website also sells Kids' gummies in multi-vitamin' calcium and vitamin D; echinacea, vitamin c, and zinc; and omega 3. Other adult gummies on the website include calcium, fiber, omega 3, and the deep sleep. The website also sells sports nutrition products and adult supplements in pills, gummies, and capsules.

BA Star Stardust Eye Make up Product Review Tomoson

I reviewed BA Star Stardust, in exchange for honest review on Tomoson. I received the Deep Plum Stardust. BA Star Stardust is a mineral eye shadow. The products can be used for everyday wear or for dancing and performance wear. The product also game with a glue-base, which held very well.

BA Star, not only sells eye dust but make-up kits,  mascara, liners, lashes, blushes, bronzers, lip pencils, lip gloss, stickers, cosmetic bags, and make-up tools.  The website also sells hair accessories, lanyards, and duffel bags.

BA Star also has make-up videos on the website. I went to the website to learn how to apply the glue.
Each mineral dust is 8.98 on the website. The glue is 8.75.

Note: I have no pics. My wonderful two year old decided to dump out the star dust all over everything, the same day I got the product in the mail.

Pro Resumes Made Easy Book Review and Tour






I read Pro Resumes Made Easy (The Made Easy Series) in exchange for honest review from Reading Addiction Blog Tours. The book was written by Andrea Plum. This post does contain Amazon affiliate links and images.

Excerpt: From media kit. 

Chapter 1 – Some basics

What is the purpose of a resume? If you ask most people, they will tell you it is “to get a job interview.” Yes, that’s right it is designed to get you a job interview. But a resume is also designed to sell you, or generate enough interest in you to make the reader make contact and schedule a meeting time. Your resume has had enough impact, that out of the hundreds of resumes a recruiter receives in their email inbox daily, yours has stood out.

If you’ve heard the saying that recruiter’s look at most resumes for between 5 and 20 seconds, it’s true. Add to that equation the fact that resumes are now received via email inbox, and you need to consider the fact that this means that the top third of your first page will be the first thing the recruiter sees when they click open the attachment.

I’ll be running you through the step by step process I use when writing a resume. My resumes are written in a way that they;

  • Catch the recruiters eye immediately
  • Give them a reason to keep on reading
  • Stand out by writing them in a way that only 5% of all job applicants use effectively; and
  • Works with scanning software sometimes used by recruiters
  • Makes the reader want to meet with you!

About the Author: from media kit

Andrea started her professional resume writing career in 1998, forming a professional resume writing service online for all professions.

In April 2011, she successfully transitioned the business over to new management, in order to focus on her specialty niche, IT professionals, Executives and Managers.

Why?

Well, in Andrea's words "Executives and Managers are accustomed to collaborating to produce cutting edge results, and so are professional in their dealings enabling a unique and top class result and enabling me to write even better career marketing documents."

This doesn't mean that if you are not an executive or Manager she can't help you. It simply means that unless you understand this is an investment and will involve some work on your part (providing the information needed) then it's probably best you look elsewhere that's all. 

My Review:

I wanted to read the book after reading a post in a group on Facebook about how to create the perfect resume to get a job. The post was discussing the right length of a resume. For me, I was told a perfect resume was one to two pages from a recruiter at a job fair. She said she preferred one page and mine at that time was two pages. The recruiter basically said to keep it short and simple, and provided more details at the interview. Finally, the recruiter said to be more detailed. Instead of saying, you have responsibilities in x, y, and z, provided examples of x, y, and z instead.


Pro Resumes Made Easy (The Made Easy Series) consists of 18 chapters, which helps you create a professional resume, cover letter, and reference page, in addition to tips for job interviews and common mistakes with resumes. A resume is a summary of your current and past job experiences. A resume can help you get or not get a job. Job applicants need to create a resume, which will capture the recruiters attention quickly.

For example, Drew discussed how you don't need to use the word resume as the title of a resume. I am guilty of this big time. Next, Drew discussed how you don't need to include name, address, and telephone as headings.

Interesting story: I usually create my own resumes. A few years ago, a friend asked to re-do my resume and I gave him the information. When I got his revised copy, I was shocked. It was a nice resume, but he padded a lot of the information. For example, I used to work at a manufacturing plant. One of the first jobs I had was assembly and production. I later worked as a machine operator, material handler, and final tester. When I was working assembly and production, my job was to make boxes, then fill the boxes with completed parts, in addition to taking the production to the warehouse.

My new resume said I was responsible for floor layout. It also said I was fluent in software, I never heard of. I could not use the resume.

Other tips I liked in the book include:

  • Include the position you are applying for. 
  • If you include hard skills, provide evidence of experience. Providing evidence helps your resume stand out more to the recruiter. For example, instead of saying I have customer service experience. I can say I received customer service training when I worked at both Aramark and Atlanta Expo Cafe. I can also provide examples of how I applied the training. For example, when I worked at the Cafe, a elderly lady in a wheelchair, needed assistance getting to a table. The restaurant space was small and not laid out for wheelchairs. I moved some tables and chairs around, then asked her if she wanted me to push her to where she wanted to go. I helped her through the food line, then sat her and her family down at their preferred table.
  • Drew mentioned how you can provide problems, discuss how you resolved the problem, and then provide the results.
  • Include keywords, just in case, the recruiter uses scanning software. 
  • Don't forget to include your contact details. Contact details should include home phone number, cell phone number, and email address. You also can include address. On another note, I was told never to include address in a resume. The reason being is that some recruiters will not hire someone based on distance from home to the job. If they need you to come in at the last minute, and you live an hour away, the job may not be a fit for you. I have worked at jobs, which was over an hour away by public transportation. I had one job, which was 10 minutes by car, from my house, but over an hour away by bus. My house and job was on the same street, but since the street was long, it was covered by two busses. I had to catch one bus to get part of the way to the job and another bus to get to the job. I getting up earlier to walk to the one of two stops to catch the second bus, instead of waiting on two busses. I also have walked to the job, which took me about an hour as well. I stopped doing that quickly. 

The book is available in paperback for $10.02 and on Kindle for $3.99. If you have Amazon Prime, the book is Prime-Eligible and you can receive it within 2 days.

Storm Dancer Book Review by Rayne Hall (Tomoson)



I read Storm Dancer (Dark Epic Fantasy in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. This post does contain affiliate links and images. The book was written by Rayne Hall. The book does contain violence and disturbing situations. I received a paperback version of the book. I also bought the Kindle edition awhile back.

My review:

The book is about Dahoud, 25 years old,  the hero with a bad past. Dahoud also is living with an internal demon, a djinn, who likes to try to force himself upon women.

djinn: according to the free online dictionary, a djinn is a spirit, who is capable of assuming human or animal form. A djinn also can exert supernatural influence over people. 

Dahoud has been trying to control the demon for years, but still is tempted. He misses the power, prestige, and perks (the women), which came with his old position.  Dahoud is trying hard to hide his past, while living a life of humility as a clerk. It doesnt' take long for his past as the Black Besieger to get out by royalty. The consort wants Dahoud to return as the Black Besieger to carry out some tasks. If Dahoud succeeds, he may obtain a new position of power. If he declines, he gets a horrible job at the palace.

The book is descriptive. From the first line, Even in the shade of the graffiti-carved olive tree, the air sang with heat....The book also moves at the right pace. Not to slow to bore you but not to fast to lose focus and give up trying to read the book. I enjoyed reading the Storm Dancer. The book is available in paperback and kindle. The kindle version is .99 and the paperback is currently 9.18.

Wearever Incontinence Underwear Product Review (Tomoson)


I reviewed the Wearever incontinence products, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I have heard of Wearever on social media and in blogger groups and I finally got a chance to review their products. My oldest son is autistic and adhd. He is not fully potty trained yet. Depends are 18.99 a bag and he goes through four to five bags per month.

The website offers men's and women's urinary incontinence products. The products are washable and re-useable. Wearever offers women's briefs, men's briefs, and men's boxers. The website also offers a Sizing chart


Built-in pad



 I chose the boxer briefs. The boxer briefs cost $18.99 on the website. You also can buy a three pack or a 6-pack. If you order the 6 pack, you get free shipping.  I will be buying a 3-pack when I get paid again. Brad slept in the briefs the first night, I got the package in the mail. He was dry when he woke up. The briefs did their job, a very good job. Then, I washed them so he can wear them for the second night in a row.

The briefs come in navy, white, and grey. Inside each pair, you have a built-in pad, which absorbs fluids. I wish I bought the underwear when we went to the Schlitterbahn last week. I left them at home and brought the depends instead. Needless to say, I forgot to take off Brad's undies and the depends got soaked in the water. I had to get Brad out quickly before he successfully ripped his depends off. The website also sells swim diapers. I was just thinking about this the other day. I will order a pair of those in the future as well. The swim diapers start at 49.95. The swim diaper is also washable and re-useable.

All the products on the website offer security, with a level of discreteness. No one will know you are wearing a Wearever. The undies are not bulky like Depends or other similar products. The undies are made out of soft cotton and will last between 200-250
washes.

I will have a video review within the next few days.

Hugo the Happy Starfish, It's good to be me. Book Review (Tomoson).


I reviewed IT'S GOOD TO BE ME! (English Edition) Educational Children's Book Collection (HUGO THE HAPPY STARFISH - Educational Children's Book Collection), in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. This post does contain affiliate links and images.

The book was written by Suzy Liebermann and published by Happy Language Kids, LLC. The book is a part of the Hugo the Happy Starfish series.

Hugo is a happy starfish, who loves to make friends and loves to make others happy, but something made him sad in this book.  He thought changing his physical appearance would make people like him more. Hugo was granted wishes to change his appearance, but saved the last one. The last one was the most special of all. Read the book to find out what he wished for.

The book was a quick read. The book taught kids about self-esteem and self-worth. You don't have to change your physical appearance to get others to like you. Your friends should like you for you. You are special, no matter what.
