High As A Kit Candle Set by Old Factory Candles

I enjoyed reviewing Old Factory "High As A Kit" set - especially the Cannabis soy candle. I can hear it now from my readers, "I didn't know you were for the legalization of medical marijuana!" (smile) I voted NO last month for NO for the legalization of marijuana last month on my Florida Absentee ballot (and I applauded when it didn't pass).

Now that we are all on the same page - when the kind folks at Old Factory Candles approached me with a review opportunity I excitedly said, "Yes!". I was blessed to choose from a long list of their amazing candle offerings. I chose the set High As A Kite because my husband and I have been on the hunt for a candle that smelled like cigars. We love that Havana inspired scent. Envision a smoke room in Cuba-lots of men and women (!) sitting around in leather club chairs playing board games or discussing the weather. Smoke wafting into the overhead banana frond fans. You get the picture....

Old Factory's Cannabis fit the bill. Yay! This is one clean-burning soy candle. Despite it's petite size, it is quite potent. Cannabis was my fav from the 3 scents I reviewed (Cannabis, Incense & Bag O' Cookies). Bag O' Cookies was oh! so delicious! And perfect for burning in the early am with coffee and then a sticky bun (or two). Incense was a powdery scent. Nice, but not as powerful as the incense sticks I currently burn.

I highly recommend an Old Factory set of your choice for yourself or for a friend for a gift. So fun, and Made in the USA. Support an American Made product.

So unique and fun. I enjoyed reviewing Old Factory High As A Kite! www.oldfactorycandles.com/aromatherapy for better sleep, relaxation, energy, increased focus, and more. Free report too!

Face To Face: Meeting God in the Quiet Places by Monte Kline

I enjoyed the forthright style of writing throughout the book. Page 18 provided an excellent list.This list gave Scripture to support our unrealized identity in Christ. This is a list I will refer to often. Author Monty Kline threaded nuggets of gold such as this list throughout. There were sections at the end of each chapter for further discussion and thought, which would be invaluable for a small group environment. The Notes section also a nice touch and an excellent point of reference.

The second paragraph of the Introduction in Face To Face in my understanding was the mission statement for the entire book. So important for the reader to read the Introduction, as the Introduction was clearly an exhortation to become more personal with God.

Face To Face provided quotes from famous Christians. I enjoyed Larry Crabb's quote (page 36) as well as the author's journal entries from previous Personal Retreats. I enjoyed the journal entries and very much related to what Mr. Kline shared. The writer clearly had a way of allowing me to feel that I was his friend, and his encouragement and gentle prodding to for me to pursue a personal retreat was quite endearing. His soft humor did not escape me and I appreciated his interesting comments throughout the book.

One criticism was I would rather not have to read Rick Warren's quotes (see Church of Tares). 

My biggest takeaway were "Track 5 Moments". I quote, "Track 5 Moments are noiseless moments, moments when God's voice shouts from his creation. They are intense, almost Edenic moments when  your connection with God is unhindered-when you are "face to face". Personal Retreats invite you to Track 5 Moments." Sign me up!!!

OraMD Breath by Trusted Health Products

Holy Toledo (I always wanted to say that, but never did a situation present itself in which this phrase fit perfectly)! Now I have. I would love to share the beauty of OraMD Breath.

Here goes...I eat raw garlic each and every day - 365 days a year without fail. And so - this product was an excellent product for me to put to the test. OraMD Breath passed my "breathalyzer" with flying colors! I sprayed once in my mouth every morning for a month before I got in the pool to swim at early morning Masters. My lane mate was so happy! No one wants to smell garlic breath before the birds or up - or ever - for that matter, actually.

I sent a bottle home with my swim coach and she tried it out on a sore throat for a day. She appreciated the fresh breath but I think she may have overdone it, because she had a bit of slight bout with heartburn. I have never had that problem with this product and I do believe the reason may because I only eat organic and live on a 90% plant based diet and so my body is used to many natural potent oils and such. Speaking of which, what makes OraMD Breath so powerful are the 3 ingredients which are a proprietary blend with special properties of almond oil, spearmint and peppermint oil.

I have to believe if my swim coach used this product prior to the sore throat; she may have never have gotten the sore throat because of the germ-killing properties.The manufacturer has stated OraMD Breath has:

• Ingredients clinically proven to kill periodontal bacteria (which is the worst kind of oral bacteria) – in a recent University of Kentucky Clinical Study

Also,  "The big difference between OraMD Breath and other products is not the fact that our ingredients also kill the germs that cause bad breath, but the fact that we do it with 100% pure and natural ingredients-no chemicals of any kind." Impressive!

I recommend OraMD Breath to be used along with OraMD - The Mouth Doctor. Refreshing, healthy - the best dental regime.
     
For a limited time, the manufacturer is willing to offer my readers one FREE bottle. They said they would love to have our readers try out Breath and agreed to send one bottle FREE if our readers would pay a minimal shipping and handling charge. This is a one-time only offer!

Journey to Jesus: A 6-Session DVD Curriculum

The jacket cover of this 6-session DVD curriculum reminded me that the goal of this teaching was for "Building Christ-centered friendships with Muslims." All six sessions were delivered with the love of Christ without compromise and each group of Christians and Muslims connected (respectively) via children, food and college.

I watched the Teaching Slideshow. I did not know that Hinduism was the first world religion. I also was educated regarding exactly who Buddha was. The Maps of War was excellent. For the educational value alone, this teaching would be perfect for a small group setting.

Session 1&2 with Kate and Salima was my favorite. The common bond which allowed Kate entrance to become friendly with Salima was their children. The balance Kate had between her home life, her Christianity and prioritizing her time was quite admirable. Salima was drawn to her and the relationship became one I would like to enjoy with a neighbor. Theirs was a casual, no pressure but caring relationship.

Sessions 3&4 focused on Larry and Azim. Their relationship focused around food (almost to a quasi-gluttonous degree). They were co-workers and Larry held Azim in high esteem for Azim's technical abilities. As with Kate and Salima, the two initially met outside their homes, but the last scene showed Azim at Larry's house. I liked that the end scene left me knowing that plans were to be made to continue the friendship.

Sessions 5&6 was the most challenging and frustrating relationship to observe. Brian and Abdul were partnered to work on a college assignment regarding world religions. A very angry Abdul was difficult to get along with and poor Brian was so kind, yet clearly persecuted. I was very sad about how their relationship ended but this demonstration of rejection was so very relatable!!

Journey to Jesus did an excellent job of portraying ways to connect with Muslims and each takeaway stuck with me. This DVD curriculum would be perfect for Sunday School class, a women's group or just to pass along to Christian friends. Nowadays, we are meeting many people from many walks of life. We must be educated and navigate the fine line of how to be in the world, but not of the world (John 17:14-15). God reminds us in His Word that friendship with the world is enmity with God (James 4:4). But above all we are called to love our neighbor; of which the definition is basically = anyone we come in contact with!

Speaking of the Word, it would have been refreshing and helpful to hear Scripture read during the interactions. I don't recall hearing any Scripture spoken. Possibly, I missed it, but I do not recall hearing any verses. 

I recommend this product from Tyndale House to be an excellent tool to share the love of Christ with Muslims without compromise (a delicate balancing act!). Sharing is truly a matter of life and death. Christians need to be prepared! This resource is a great first step in preparing to share the Gospel with Muslims.

Botanical Splash Body Moisturizer and Revitalizer by Trusted Health Products, Inc.

Delicious citrus scent!! I was excited to review another skin essential product from Trusted Health Products, Inc. Especially excited because oils are my skin's new best friend. The directions from the manufacturer state best used after a shower. I totally agree. The oil seemed to be absorbed much quicker and water is so hydrating to begin with...

I dry body brushed, then showered, then applied Botanical Splash to my neck, decollete, shoulders on down my arms and then finished up by applying to the back of my hands. Oh la la! (I don't say that too often!) Since I shower at nite, my husband was super happy to smell me the whole nite long. He likes citrus scents. This product is made with 100% pure botanical oils of almond, orange, lime, lemon, olive and avocado. Yum!

From a health perspective, this product hits all the marks. Direct from Trusted Health Products, Inc., "No preservatives, parabens, petroleum-based oils, GMOs, synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, colorings, or additives of any kind." For this reason, this product qualifies for my In Good Health category.

Spray this product 2-3 times daily for problem areas. I also was surprised to read that Botanical Splash can be used as an underarm deodorant. Convenient for travel!

I have noticed after using this product for 3 weeks daily, sun spots have lightened (or age spots? I am not sure if there is a difference!). The wrinkle lines around my neck are less. I still  have areas I plan to tackle and I will do so with Botanical Splash! After using for a few days, I realized my skin dictated how much to apply. At first, I had to apply very liberally. I know my skin was thirsty and I felt good "feeding" it Botanical Splash ;).

Again, another wonderfully healthy unique product from Trusted Health Products, Inc.  “For a limited time, the manufacturer is willing to offer my readers one FREE bottle. They said they would love to have my readers try out Botanical Splash and agreed to send one bottle FREE if my readers would pay a minimal shipping and handling charge. This is a one-time only offer!

Ultimate Designer Sports Watch: Gifts For Men From Prime Time Commerce

 Oh my goodness! This Ultimate Designer Sports Watch arrived in a beautiful box and immediately upon opening the box, I sensed that "new car smell"! I was quite impressed by the fact that the box was lined with black satin and a plush pillow on which the watch was perfectly placed.

This presentation was quite impressive but what impressed me the most was that the watch was working and set to my time zone. Nice! Here is an image so you can see the other dials which add to the sporty look of the watch, but do not actually function.

This watch is water resistant, which is perfect for my husband, who is a boat captain. He would wear this watch at night to dinner, along the docks when he is not actually fishing or filleting fish. This watch is super high-end but durable.

The watch face was the perfect size, and my husband appreciated the masculine band, which features a brushed stainless steel inside band. The watch is adjustable.

I also appreciate that the manufacturer offers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and can be purchased on Amazon.com. I was quite surprised to learn the watch lists at $100 and Prime Time Commerce plans on selling it for $49 ($29.95) during pre-sale.) For more details, visit their Amazon Marketplace.



I was so happy to review this product and to surprise my husband with him being involved in a review. He rarely wears a watch because he uses his Iphone whenever he needs to know what time it is. However, after wearing this watch, he feels like a million bucks. It is more of a nice piece of jewelry for him to proudly wear. And when he needs to know what time it is, he can leave his phone in his pocket. Excellent product. Beautiful, affordable and perfect for that special man in your life!

[Giveaway] Citrus Lane Gift Box Subscription

Kiss Me Organics Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder

 While I am no means a connoisseur of teas (yet!), I recognize a stand-out tea from others which do not offer properties which enhance your overall health. First of all, Kiss Me Organics Matcha Green Tea Powder Organic Matcha Green Tea "can only be used in a powdered form because, unlike brewed green tea, it contains the entire tea leaf which dramatically increases the nutritional content." This organic matcha is made from  pure green tea leaves, turned into fine powder without the use of any additives like wheat, as some other Matchas do.

Nutritional value. Check.

I was fortunate to receive The Matcha Recipe Guide Ebook for my review. Customers will receive "FREE MATCHA RECIPE GUIDE EBOOK WITH PURCHASE: 50+ Recipes All Yours - Emailed After Purchase." 
  
Variety and fun with tea! Check.

 I first made this tea with plain water. It was creamy and delicious. I experimented by adding almond milk and agave. Yum! I then added whipped cream and poured coconut oil over the whipped cream. The cream was cold and so the coconut oil formed a slight "shell" over the top. When I mixed in the coconut oil, my signature green tea drink exploded with yummy goodness. The free recipe book was so convenient. Lattes, pizza, muffins and so much more in a convenient Ebook format to keep on my laptop.


Kiss Me Organics Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder has a special spot in my Tea Dresser. If I could mention every single benefit of this product, I would fill the pages of my own book. Great gift idea as well. Just make sure the recipient of your gift will receive the free Ebook. Thank you Kiss Me Organics for an exceptionally outstanding healthy versatile unique product! Already imagining baking these muffins for my Women's Bible Study group (and not for St. Patrick's Day but for any day!).

The Runner's Choice by Trusted Health Products

I was quite excited to review The Runner's Choice as I have undertaken long distance walking recently. I had stopped walking for awhile, as I developed painful blisters on the soles of both feet. I have done everything to try and prevent these blisters from developing and getting in the way of my workouts.

 I decided to take this month off from walking as the heat is hard on anyone's feet. I wanted to give this product a true review and so I applied The Runner's Choice once in the morning and then once before bed. I applied to clean feet and toes and then wore thin cotton socks until the oils were absorbed into my skin.

Yum! This product contains 100% natural botanical oils of almond, eucalyptus, eucalyptol, wintergreen, peppermint and spearmint for the discomfort of sore feet. Smelled so delicious as I applied. Do not rub in because you don't need to and I did apply, wait a few minutes and then I applied again because the soles of my feet were very dry and cracked. You will want to wear socks as the oils waft up into your nostrils which is a good thing but can be overpowering if you have to entertain or sit in church ;).

After four weeks, I have much softer, less cracked soles on both feet. I did not walk or wear any tight sneakers during this time. For an entire week, after 2 weeks I had sores on both insoles. I have to believe this "food for your feet" purged toxins and sores (blisters) that had been existing under the surface of my skin. I plan to continue to use this product and to also soak my feet in Epsom salts on walking days. I am very excited about this product as it has nothing bad for you in it. There is no good reason to use anything on your body that is not plant-based. I highly recommend The Runner's Choice. If you workout - you need it! 

For a limited time, the manufacturer is willing to offer my readers one FREE bottle. They said they would love to have our readers try out The Runner’s Choice and agreed to send one bottle FREE if our readers would pay a minimal shipping and handling charge. This is a one-time only offer! The Runner's Choice - Free Bottle

Cuppa Chocolate Teas (Strawberry Chocolate) by The Republic of Tea

Another fun adventure into tea! I reviewed The Republic of Tea's Cuppa Chocolate Teas. Yes, I reviewed all 5 teas which come 5 of each in the box (stay tuned for the other 4 chocolate teas reviews). However,  this review pertains specifically to my favorite - Strawberry Chocolate!!! omg. This tea was the most deliciously fruity smelling. Immediately upon ripping open the packet, strawberry chocolate and bourbon vanilla beans in my face- pow! 

I also had noticed from The Republic of Tea's website that the Strawberry Chocolate Cuppa Chocolate Tea is Gluten Free (which I seek out nowadays). As a friend to gluten free readers, here is the link just to Strawberry Chocolate Cuppa Chocolate Tea http://www.republicoftea.com/strawberry-chocolate-red-tea/p/V10000/. Have fun shopping!!

The sipping experience: 
Yes, I watched the tea steep (5-7 minutes). My double walled insulated mug did its job well. First, I sipped without adding almond milk. Yummy! The strawberry was not as present during my tasting as were the sweet blackberry leaves. 

I added almond milk (Silk gluten free with vanilla 30%) and sipped. Missing something! So I added a very small amount of agave. Perfect for an after-dinner dessert replacement.

The health factor in this tea is that Rooibos is the number one listed ingredient. So many benefits from Rooibos! I do enjoy Rooibos but not by itself so this tea is an excellent tea in which the health properties of Rooibos are hidden and do not end up on the forefront of my palate (liken to pureeing beans to hide in soup).

I give Cuppa Chocolate Strawberry Chocolate rave reviews. It's caffeine-free as well and if that were not enough, according to The Republic of Tea's website, "Strawberry Cuppa Chocolate Tea was featured on NBC Today Show as the top 10 Skinny Foods all dieters should try."

Eradicate: Blotting Out God In America by David Fiorazo

Hold on to your seats Christians! Author David Fiorazo has written a timely, intriguing, energizing and quite transparent book about God being removed from our culture. This Holy Spirit-inspired anointed work was exactly what I needed to kick me out of the complacency which I had not realized until reading this book had crept into my Christian lifestyle.

Of course we hear of false teachers in the "last days" and we take in tidbits of this and that about teachers that we had once idolized in our Christian walk whom are now falling away. But we still buy the slightly controversial (watered-down feel good Christianity) books, cd's and tune in every now and then on the radio and tv and often actually feel comforted by the casualness Christianity has become in our culture. 
However, after reading Eradicate (the most challenging chapters which were Chapters 12 & 13), I am emboldened to look around and realize that the heat has been turned up on the proverbial "pot" of simmering water. Thanks to Eradicate, this toad is jumping out now because I know I am in a bit of hot water even though my comfort zone of Christianity had been telling me otherwise 'til now!

I recommend everyone who picks up this book read the Intro. Powerful! Also, I appreciated the footnotes, Scripture and excellent references throughout. Being a fan of Bonhoeffer, I appreciated the quote, "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak; not to act is to act." Another quote which I did not note its origin (read the book!), "Too many believers are rolling over and hitting the snooze button." Page 36 was eye opening with its explanation of the true meaning of church and state as the original framers intended. Boy! the President, Judges, Congress and Senate need to read every word of Chapter 2!

I recommend Eradicate for everyone who is looking to be the best they can be in these last (evil)days. If you are a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, you need this book. We must not be deceived. This book offers many nuggets of wisdom and weapons for your arsenal - more than I can mention in this brief review. Buy a copy today. You will read it in one sitting. It is that energizing and (spoiler) convicting. You will never be the same. Now excuse me, I have to go find a very deceived Christian (are there levels of being deceived?) in my Sunday School class who definitely needs to read Chapter 12....

Strawberry Basil Iced Tea by The Republic of Tea

 Upon cracking open the canister, one cannot help but smile. The strawberry scent was quite present. Yum! Each large tea bag made a quart of iced tea. I added boiling water to my glass pitcher and steeped on the counter until cool. I did not add ice but chilled in the fridge. I like my tea very potent and so I did add ice to my guest's glass (but not mine), and I also added fresh sliced strawberry and fresh basil mashed in my herb pestle into our glasses. I am sure it would be beautiful to freeze strawberries and mashed basil in ice cube trays and add to your guests glasses. Pretty!

I have a confession. While reviewing this iced tea I realized I was coveting The Republic of Tea's Double Infusion pitcher. This pitcher has just been added to my Christmas in July list. (I have been very very good Santa) I would be 4 ounces short of 3 quarts so that would mean triple the Strawberry Basil Iced Tea. Perfect for the entire week.

The Republic of Tea's Strawberry Basil Iced Tea was super tasty for the entire week, summer, and all year 'round here in hot sunny South Florida.
