Book Review - Hidden Under Her Heart

Hidden Under Her Heart
Purchase here

By Rachelle Ayala
Follow her on:

Hidden Under Her Heart is book 2 in the Chance for Love series. It is a story about a nurse who works in an allergy clinic that wants love, she wants life, and she wants a real relationship with trust and honor. Being that she hasn't truly had that in her life she has a hard time trusting. Her name is Maryanne and her life is about to change all because of one man named Lucas that needs allergy shots.

He comes in and she takes care of him thinking that he is like most men flirting to just do it and not having a real reason behind it she ignores his advances, flowers, and chocolates, and notes. He continues and finds that she and her friend have a bet going that whoever finds a man to be with with a marriage proposal and ring and set date to be married without having sex would pay for the other to have a spa weekend. Such a challenge.

As time goes by and tragedy strikes, Maryanne has to decide what to do with her life, and if she can be with Lucus, should she keep things to herself or be open? When a party at the Pastors house turns into Maryanne being raped and Lucas being blamed she has to decide whether to keep the baby or abort, but to clear Lucas' name the DNA is the only way to prove what has happened. I won't spoil the book for you. It is a total must read!
I rate it 5/5 Total must read and I have got to get the other books!

This story shows lots of emotions with adoption, abortion, pro choice and pro life sides. I like that a lot because it brings in to life how a woman thinks when in these situations but doesn't cram one way of thinking or another on you but shows a great way to explain it on both sides of the spectrum. I like that its not good girl meets bad boy that you get with most romance novels. The story is addictive. I can not wait to read the others in this series!
She wears her emotions on her sleeve but still holds back how she truely feels for Lucas. With friends by her side she begins to learn the real emotional attachment and love Lucas feels for her.

This story has lots of emotional ups and downs. Its a great read and once you begin you will be sucked into the storyline and not want to come up for air!

Divas Never Flinch Book Review


Divas Never Flinch is a book that by the cover first leads you to think it could be about mob ladies or the 20-30 yr old age bracket. The cover draws you into the story.  It does start slowly but after a while the story picks up.  Connye and Sonora are always competing throughout the story. Each time one upping the next and doing this is a manner so that it seems in good nature when in reality they are jealous of each other.

Oh the scandelous tales they tell. LOL. It is a bit hard to follow at first because of the many characters that are brought at the beginning. And where you think these 2 divas will never learn here comes Amanda to stir the pot even more.  I do not want to ruin the story for you readers. But you should read this if you love to read about ladies in society, tea parties and proper ladies doing things that on the surface look pristine but underneath they are as silly and backbiting as any ladies that have the belief they have to be better then the others.  Money is no object when it comes to parties and dances.

So join the fun and get ready to read about the silly spats they get into and how even ladies that are rivals can get along over time!

I give this book 5/5.

I was able to review this product and here are my findings on it.
To fully test this product I stopped the regime I had been using since Feb.  I found while on this product I still lost weight. Now I have multiple health issues. Losing weight is very hard for me.  I found I had more energy on this, and I did lost inches more the actual pounds. Why does that matter you ask?  Well pounds counts as water, bone and all else in your body. When you lose inches you can gain muscle so pounds becomes irrelevant.  My clothing is fitting better again.  I have noticed a big difference in my arms and legs.  But I would say if I had to guage actual pound loss it equals about 5lbs scale weight. However, in inches I lost about 20 inches over the entire body from legs waist and arms.  That might not seem like much to you but for me that is very good.  I have no metabolism, I have lupus, celiac disease, migraines, herniated disks and PCOS as well as type 2 diabetes. I didnt notice jumpiness or racing heartbeat like I have with some other products. I didnt notice a huge difference in my normal routine either. 

To use these suppliments you take one pill 15-30 minutes before each meal.  That is about it. I increased my water intake to 50% of my body weight in oz. And that was about all I really changed. I had been doing this on and off all year and recently gotten out of drinking enough water. I was able to easily get back into that with this product.

I rate this product 5/5
I would use it again. I would recomend it to others that are looking to lose some weight. Now I also feel it would be a good all around suppliment as well even if you werent looking to lose weight as it has alot of great vitamins in it. I enlarged the photo above of the ingredients so you can see just what i am talking about.

Book Review - Emotional Assault - Recognizing the Abusive Partners Bag of Tricks


By Lisa Kroulik
Purchase HERE

Follow Lisa on Twitter


This book hits home not just for me but with many individuals. Ladies and Men alike!

Emotional Assault explains the different tactics that individuals use to control the other person in the relationship. What steps they would take to control the other and how to manipulate them while making others think everything is hunkey dory.  I know weird choice of words but so very true.

While reading this book I came across scenarios that I have also been a part of on both ends of the scale, from emotional abuse that was very verbal, to physical as well.  One can't stop people from viewing physical abuse but mental emotional abuse might not leave a physical scar but can definately leave invisible ones like gaping wounds that one never heals from.

As someone that has been thru this at times the person on the recieving end is blind to what the abuser is doing to them. They think this is normal and nothing is wrong and refuse to believe that things need to change. Eventually they come to a breaking point. That breaking point opens floodgates as emotions rip apart and after that the whole scene comes so much clearer.

Why is this the case?  The abusee finally comes to the conclusion that this isn't right, that they shouldn't have to deal with this, and that its not love that causes the abuser to treat them as such. They finally start to get a fresh perspective and want to have a good change for themselves.

So how does this pertain to the book?  Well in the book the different tactics are outlined with clear examples from the authors own life to explain how her ex husband used these tactics during and after her relationship with him ended. She also writes about what her ex husband and his mother do to her even though she is remarried and her children are well cared for.

If you are looking for an emotional ride and a full reality check with what REALLY happens in a a emotionally abusive relationship, this is the book for you.  Emotional Assault will prepare anyone that is in denile about what they are dealing with in their relationships with a way to identify and actually see what is going on and how to change it and not feel guilty. It clearly outlines what one can do to not blame oneself for the relationship issues.

I rate this book 5/5.  It is very good, very informative and down to earth.  I praise this author for speaking up about her experiences and helping others know when Enough is Enough and it is time to break it off and move on.

Brava! 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.

Enjoy Hair Care Giveaway - Ends 11/22

I have had the joys to try out quite a few lines from Enjoy Hair Care and I am going to talk about the Clarifying System that I got to recently try out! My hair tends to stay oily and so I was so happy to be able to try out the shampoos and sprays that would help give me that super clean feeling. I was sent out the Sulfate Free Shampoo, the Clarifying Spray, and the Conditioning Spray.
Clarifying Spray Let's kick things off with the Clarifying Spray. This product is meant to remove product and all the impurities from your hair. If you do not use product every day than you do not need to use the Clarifying Spray everyday. It also works well for people that are swimmers to get all the chlorine out of their hair from the pool. Here is a small product overview: pH 4.5-5.5 One of a kind spray-in clarifying formula, designed to remove mineral deposits, product build-up chlorine and/or other impurities in the hair. Color safe for all hair types. For best results wet your hair and then spray in Clarifying Spray and work through hair. Make sure that you do NOT rinse. After you have used the Clarifying Spray to remove impurities you are now ready to move on to apply the Sulfate-Free Shampoo.

If you have never used sulfate free shampoos you are in for an experience! It makes your hair very clean and soft even before conditioner and doesn't strip it down like most other shampoos do.
 
Sulfate-Free Shampoo I was very pleased with how well this shampoo lathered up. That can make or break a shampoo for me! This shampoo also just smells so clean. It left my hair feeling soft and thoroughly washed. There was nothing left over for me to feel except for my beautiful feeling hair. Here is a little bit more about the shampoo: pH 4.5 – 5.5 Give the hair strength, smoothness, shine, frizz control and volume with incredible manageability. Gently eliminates build-up without stripping color with Cleanse Sensor technology. Color Safe for all hair types. The tip that I would give to you all is to make sure that you get this shampoo into a great lather. This is the assured way that your hair is going to get amazingly and super clean. Another great thing about this shampoo is that it may be used as a gentle cleansing skin wash.
Conditioning Spray Here is a little bit of product overview: pH 3.5 – 4.5 Recommended for all hair types. Detangles the hair, adds moisture and protection without weighing it down. Leave it in or rinse it out. Excellent for frizz control. Low pHof 3.5 – 4.5 closes cuticle and locks in hair color. The conditioning spray made my hair feel beautiful and shiny between washes. It was great as a leave in and did not gunk up on me like other sprays have done in the passed. I can use this on an every day basis. It smells amazing and I always get compliments with how well my hair smells with this line! Here is just one more amazing tip: This prouct may be applied to skin as a moisturizer after shower or shaving. Excellent for reactivating product on dry hair. All in all the conditioning spray is the great finishing touch!

The Enjoy Haircare company has been generous enough to let me do a giveaway for my Holiday Gift Guide, and the winner gets to choose a system of their choice! So what are you waiting for? Get your entries in! The clock is ticking!

Ugly Christmas sweaters? Yep the trend of the season and the spark of parties LOL. And some people just really like them anyway. So check out The sweater store for your funny ugly sweaters and make your family get a giggle at your expense this holiday season!

The holidays are upon us and so are the parties.  You could be like everyone else and dress up in a simple red, black or green dress or button down shirt with a tie, or maybe you could get one of those expensive intentional ugly sweaters they sell in the stores to be ironic.  But what if you could wear an authentic ugly sweater?  One, that at some point, someone made and thought “this is the pinnacle of the holidays – people will LOVE this sweater?”  Years ago, you could do this, head over to the consignment shop and pick through someone’s old clothes and find literal ugly sweaters – but with the increasing popularity of the Ugly Sweater Holiday Party – finding these little treasures is getting harder.  That is where TheSweaterStore.com comes in – they have done the work for you!  Scouring the country for the ugliest and well-kept sweaters around.  Krista from Savory Savings received sweaters for the whole family (yes, they offer kids sizes, too!) be sure to check out her hilariously hideous sweaters and keep an eye out for her upcoming Christmas photo shoot featuring these sweaters! Be the talk of your next office party in one of these delightfully ugly sweaters by entering this giveaway!
