About the Book: From the internationally bestselling authors who brought you the Krinar Chronicles comes a captivating tale of intrigue, love, and danger in a world where sorcery is entwined with science . . . Once a respected member of the Sorcerer Council and now an outcast, Blaise has spent the last year of his life working on a special magical object. The goal is to allow anyone to do magic, not just the sorcerer elite. The outcome of his quest is unlike anything he could’ve ever imagined – because, instead of an object, he creates Her. She is Gala, and she is anything but inanimate. Born in the Spell Realm, she is beautiful and highly intelligent – and nobody knows what she’s capable of. She will do anything to experience the world . . . even leave the man she is beginning to fall for. Augusta, a powerful sorceress and Blaise’s former fiancée, sees Blaise’s deed as the ultimate hubris and Gala as an abomination that must be destroyed. In her quest to save the human race, Augusta will forge new alliances, becoming tangled in a web of intrigue that stretches further than any of them suspect. She may even have to turn to her new lover Barson, a ruthless warrior who might have an agenda of his own . . . My Thoughts: Absolutely intriguing! I was completely captivated from the first page! The ideas were fresh, the action plentiful and it even had a small smattering of innocent romance. The characters were believable and the plot was intriguing. It was pretty fast-paced and could use a little more detail, but stayed interesting during the entire book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and am highly anticipating the sequel! It definitely leaves you with an unfulfilled cliffhanger at the end! You can get a copy of your own here: http://www.amazon.com/Sorcery-Code-Fantasy-Romance-Intrigue-ebook/dp/B00HB8TGVS #SorceryCode

I live in central Texas and mosquitoes are a constant problem in the wetter months. Usually, they're just pesky and I try to stay inside at the peak times. I'm six months pregnant right now though and with the Zika virus going around right now, I'm especially wary of being outside with mosquitoes! I'm not going to stay cooped up every day though! I like to spend my weekends outside with my husband and son doing stuff. Deet spray is alright, I just don't like the smell and somehow always end up getting some on my lips which numbs them. These Mosquitavert Mosquito Repellent Bracelets help give me a little extra protection this mosquito season!
The Mosquitavert bracelets are Deet-free and made with all natural ingredients. The package comes with five bracelets, perfect for a small group of people! The bracelets are a light green color and feel somewhat soft to the touch, almost velvety. Six holes in the back help you insure the perfect fit for any size of wrists. They do have a slight smell to them, but it's not too strong and definitely better smelling than Deet. As well as being worn on the wrist, you can also wear these on the ankle, belt loop or on any other object kept close to your body. They last for several days and you will notice they start to dry up a little and the smell goes away when they start losing their effectiveness.
I've been noticing a lot of mosquitoes lately when we're outside. Me and my six year old son wore these for most of the afternoon, and I didn't notice a single mosquito around us the whole time! The smell was not unpleasant, I just made sure to keep the bracelet away from my face. The bracelet was very comfortable to wear and I even forgot I was wearing it after a little while. I definitely think these bracelets work and they definitely put my mind at ease with West Nile and Zika virus going around right now!

Me and my six year old son love to do art together. It's very hard for me to keep pens in my computer desk since my son is constantly running off with them! I swear, I'll buy a 10 pack and then a few days later I can't find a pen to save my life! I was thrilled to get the 60 colored gel pens set from Ohuhu! Maybe I can keep a few for myself! I've had some really great experiences with Ohuhu products before and they are becoming a number one trusted brand in my household. I must say, they did it yet again! These pens are top notch quality!
The Ohuhu colored gel pens come in a nice plastic box with five different trays of a plethora of colors. These would make a truly awesome gift to somebody and they'd never guess what was in the package! Each tray of pens has a special place fr each pen and they're held snugly in place by clipping the lid onto a strip on the back. This set has every color you can possible desire all in one box. There's pastels, neons, darks, sparkles and even multi-color pens! Each pen writes so smoothly they just glide across the paper. The colors are incredibly vibrant and really stand out. These pens are just a true pleasure to use and the variety of colors is just amazing! I can't wait to see all the artwork me and my son can come up with! This set can easily be thrown in a backpack to be taken wherever you may need them and make a perfect travel set for the car!

Me and my husband absolutely love multitools! They're one of those need-to-have everyday items that we frequently use. I love trying out different multitools with new functions and testing them to see how they hold up in survival situations. I have to say, the Comenzar multitool is one of the coolest ones I've tried out so far!
The Comanzar multitool is made of high quality stainless steel that is durable as well as lightweight. A very handy nylon carrying case is included with a snap button closure and a belt loop on the back for easy carrying. This multitool is definitely lightweight enough to carry around everyday without dragging down your pants like other multitools I've used. The handles are made of a rubberized plastic material that provides a solid grip even when your hands are sweaty.
The coolest function of this multiool is the super-bright LED flashlight! The flashlight is located on the side of the tool and can be activated by pressing the small yellow button below the light. It doesn't use batteries, instead you charge it with an included USB cable! Once you open the multitool, it has spring loaded pliers that come out in the middle. They are ridged to provide a good grip and also have the larger opening near the base to easily grasp stubborn nuts as well as a wire cutter. On one side of the handle, you can fold out a small pocketknife, phillips screwdriver, a bottle opener with a medium flathead screwdriver header, and a small 2 inch ruler with hook remover and fish descaler on it as well. The other side of the handle opens up into a saw, small flathead screwdriver, can opener and a small file with a large flathead screwdriver head on the tip. Each separate tool has a small slot on the side that you can easily pull out with your finger.
This is a very easy to use, lightweight multitool with a lot of great functions! My favorite is definitely the rechargable LED flashlight! I have over a dozen different multitools, and have never seen that function before! This is a really awesome tool to carry around for everyday use and can cover pretty much any need you may have with an active tinkering lifestyle!

I have a six year old son, and I'm currently expecting another little boy. A common problem I've had is having stuffed animals, books, colors, toys and food spread out all over my backseat, especially on long car trips. It's especially frustrating when we're on the highway, and something he needs has fallen to the floor or ended up on the other side of the seat out of reach. I have actually had times where I've had to pull over on the side of a highway just to retrieve a stuffed animal he somehow can't manage without until our next stop. I was given the opportunity to review this awesome back seat organizer, and it really has simplified car trips!
The back seat organizer was very easy to install. I has two fully adjustable straps with buckles that will fit over pretty much any car seat shape. I had it installed in a minute flat! It fits nice and snug to the back of the seat and doesn't flap around hitting your kid's legs like some other organizers. The extra large size measures 25.6 x 16.5 and can hold quite a bit of stuff. It's made of a lightweight durable material with tight stitching. A cute gray and white chevron lining adds an eye-pleasing pop that accents my black leather seat covers perfectly!
The seat cover has a zippered mesh pocket on the very top that is perfect for keeping snacks or books in. The middle row has three medium sized pockets that can actually fir quite a bit in them! The bottom row had a jumbo pocket with two large sized pockets in front of it as well. All the pockets are perfect for keeping stuffed animals, toys, coloring books, juice bottles and pretty much whatever else you may think of in it. I was surprised with how much room was in this organizer! It's large size perfectly covers the back of my seat to help protect it from kick marks, which is one of my pet peeves. My son was able to easily reach everything he needed in the organizer and it really helped keep all his critical items within easy access. I'm so happy to finally have a convenient travel system now!

Headphones are a vital part of my everyday lifestyle since I love to listen to music or watch videos without disturbing everybody around me. A common problem I have with regular headphones is literally getting tied up in them! I'm constantly having to stop and untangle them every time I use them. Also, if I don't have my phone close enough, I end up dragging them out of my ears with the slightest movement. That is extremely annoying and completely ruins my listening experience! It makes it virtually impossible to do everyday chores or even move around while listening to them! The iClever Magnetic Bluetooth headphones has conveniently solved my problems!
The first thing I noticed about these headphones was the awesome packaging! These would make an incredible gift to somebody! Everything was neatly packaged in a cool box and includes the headphones, 4 extra pairs of bud types, a drawstring pouch, USB cable and small instruction manual. I love how it came with all the different styles of buds so you can choose the type and size that suits best! After all, not everybody's ears are the same. The headphones themselves are very attractive looking with vibrant green accents and the just look sporty and trendy as well. The wire connecting the earbuds is somewhat flat and seems very durable.
The headphones are waterproof, which is a completely awesome feature! No more worrying about sweat ruining headphones, and you can wear them even if it's drizzling while you're jogging! All of the earbuds are very comfortable to wear and they actually stay in my ear. One of the most annoying things about earbuds is when they keep falling out all the time! These stayed in place very nicely and were extremely comfortable to wear while doing rigorous activities. The bluetooth connected in mere seconds and the sound quality was amazing! These definitely are not little cheapie headphones. You can tell how great they are with the amazing sounds! A handy little control box on the string of the headphones let you control the volume, track and even take or reject incoming calls. They provide up to 7 hours of listening time on each charge, which is enough to last me a few days. I'm not completely sure how far the range reaches, but I was able to move into different rooms of my house without it ever dropping signals. This is a truly awesome pair of headphones that came in amazing packaging. I absolutely love using them and I'm so happy I'm not getting tangles up in wires anymore!

I have a six year old son and he's very active! I swear, the boy must plug into the wall at night for extra energy or something! I love getting him outside to play, and the Vetra volleyball provided us with a super fun afternoon!
The Vetra volleyball came in a very eye-catching yellow, blue and white design. It's made of a quality PVC material with Soft Touch technology. It's very soft on the hands and feels somewhat cushioned when hitting it. The volleyball came deflated, and we inflated it with a foot pump and a pin attachment. It took a little while to inflate, but that was because our foot pump is old and slow. It sure helped my son burn some energy and he had fun inflating his own ball though!
Once inflated, we had a blast playing catch and even kicking it around for a few hours in the yard. It held the air very well and never seemed to deflate even though we somewhat abused it. It was soft enough for his six year old to hit without hurting his little hands at all. The colors were easy to spot and keep track of the whole time. We absolutely loved this ball and just had a complete blast playing with it!

A vital accessory to working out or traveling for sports is a good gym bag. A great quality one is hard to find and I hate when they start looking frazzly after time. The Vetra Sports Duffel Bag is a high quality bag that fits my every needs!
The Vetra Focus duffel bag came in a nice dark black color with an attractive logo on the side. It's made of 600D polyester that's durable as well as breathable. A water resistant bottom on the inside helps protect your contents even if you need to set it in the wet grass. It has dual handles with a velcro strap to help keep them together. It also has a detachable shoulder strap with a padded area and is fully adjustable. You can easily carry it whichever way is more suitable for you at the moment.
The duffel bag has one large compartment that was actually a little larger than I expected. I can easily fit my volleyball as well as a change of clothes, extra shoes, towel, snacks and water bottle in it with room to spare. It has two convenient side pockets which are very convenient for holding smaller items though they hold quite a bit in them as well. One of the side pockets has a mesh ventilation area that is perfect for putting sweaty or wet clothing and towels in separate from your other clothes. You can easily fit a pair of shoes in the side pockets as long as you're not as big as Shaq. It was very comfortable to carry the bag around with both the handles and the shoulder straps. The shoulder strap never cut into me even though I loaded down my bag pretty good. I can actually fit an amazing amount of stuff in this duffel bag, everything I need at the gym plus more! I love the design and showing it off since it's a brand name to be proud of! This is a truly high quality bag that fits my every needs!

An important part of playing sports or working out in staying hydrated. Good water bottles seem hard to come by sometimes though! Standard water bottles tend to leak and won't fit ice cubes in the mouth, leaving you with lukewarm water when you're hot- ugh! The Vetra water bottle was a nice solution to those common problems!
The Vetra water bottle comes in a nice 650 ml size to help keep you more hydrated. It's made of BPA-free true-taste polypropylene with HydroGuard so you can taste your water, not the bottle. I hate drinking plastic tasting water- so gross! The screw top lid has a nice wide mouth to easily fit ice cubes in to keep your water ice cold. The nozzle is a convenient self-sealing jet valve that will not leak at all. Just suck on it or squeeze the bottle and you get a nice steady stream of water. I love the one way nozzle and that you don't have to pull open and close a spout! The bottle design is contoured to make it easy to grip with sweaty hands. It's semi-clear so you can easily see where your water level is. I threw this full water bottle into my gym bag and it never leaked drop! I love this water bottle and how user friendly it is!
If you'd like a user-friendly non-leaking water bottle as well, you can get one here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HWQFR8A #vetra |
