STORAGE CASES ARE ESSENTIAL!


What do you do with all of the essential oil bottles that you have collected? I've been storing mine in a small cupboard. When I try to look for one, I inevitably knock into one of the bottles, thereby starting an avalanche of glass bottles clanking into each other and pouring out onto the floor. Not a pretty sight and very frustrating.

I have a very small box that only holds around 21 bottles but it isn't large enough, so I got this case that holds up to 68 .50 ounce bottles and 6 roller bottles. The box is made of a grained wood that can be stained or painted with your personal choice of color. I like the look of the natural wood. It's very well made and the bottles will be secure and separated if you need to travel. I like the size of the box so that it fits easily on a shelf in my bathroom closet.

The box also protects your oils from any light that could break down the healthful properties of the oils. That's why it's important to use colored bottles for this protection, too. 

With the box, you get a sheet of different colored labels for the tops of your bottles. This way you don't have to guess which oil is in which bottle. And if you are blending oils you have an easy way to label your blends and color code them according to their uses.

Also included are 24 Pipettes that are great for adding drops of oils when you are making your blends. There is a CD ebook about Aromatherapy and you can sign up for their email newsletter at www.anjinaturals.com/pages/newsletters where you can save up to 20% off their products by signing up. 

As a bonus, the seller says to use claim code 'bigbox25' for all of my followers to receive a 25% discount!

CASUAL, WORK, OR PLAY, YOU'RE READY!

Did I mention that I love boots, leggings, and oversize tops? Well, I do and this is one of them that I plan on wearing and accessorizing with a scarf or jewelry.

A perfect companion to wear at any event or play, this tunic top comes in ten, count them, ten different colors and at a price that lets you choose more than one for your wardrobe. The silver gray was my choice for this review.

I received a size large and the arms were a bit large for my smaller frame but I just rolled them up and it looks fine. I think a medium would have fit a bit better.

The material is soft with a little stretch. It's a hand-wash and hang to dry dress. After removing from the packaging, the wrinkles came right out with a hand-held steamer. The lace at the bottom is a very pretty accent to draw attention down to your legs or boots.

THIS CARDIGAN WILL HAVE PEOPLE SEEING STARS!

I am so happy to have fall weather. I'm a seasonal girl and like the northeast USA because we do have four seasons. I can't wait for winter so that I can wear my heavy sweaters and jackets. Spring comes next with the lovely bursts of color in nature and my clothing. Then, summer comes with no jackets and cropped pants. But, there's something about fall with the smell of burning leaves, rustling wind and comfy nights by the fireplace.

This cardigan is perfect for fall with jeans or leggings and a top. I love the gray color with the hot pink stars. It's sure to be noticed when you walk into a room. 

The fabric is a soft cotton, poly blend material that drapes the front opening nicely. It just covers my backside (I'm just shy of five feet), and hangs a nice longer length in the front. I ordered a medium just because the sleeves tend to be on the small side but they are perfect for my frame in the medium.

Reach Me has a great fall lineup of women's clothing that is sensible, trendy, and economical, so check out their store. There are three other colors to choose from.

I Punched Myself in the Eye by Pamela Capone

When life is messy and you write essays, you get “messays” (messy + essay = messay). In Pamela Capone’s collection of personal, stand-alone stories, you will not only be entertained by her colloquial, quirky style, but surprised by the truths revealed. Putting her “quirk to work,” she blends humor and depth. This easy, transparent read will appeal to anyone looking for a little pick-me-up in their downtime.

Key themes are seizing the day, humanity, grace, faith and messages from a higher power. Many of her true-life stories are downright hilarious, and yet even in the humor, she reveals piercingly poignant truths with fresh insight. Mostly, her stories are about discovering self-understanding in the nonsense, epiphanies in unexpected places, and redemption in everyday life. Revelation from above can come in many ways—a gardener’s humble truck, a seat over-lapper on a plane, a subway musician, a little boy who needs his button buttoned, even a self-inflicted black eye. If you dig a little in an average day, you too can find the golden nugget— and don’t we all need that?

My Note: Pamela has written down most of her personal experiences with life that we tend to overlook and she has found the 'nuggets' within each situation. She has the ability to laugh at herself so that we can also laugh alongside of her because of the recognition of ourselves in her stories. She blends laughter along with a greater insight into how God works within ourselves and situations in the world. We just need to look for Him in all we do. A great read for yourself or to share in bible studies.  Debra Brand


ORPHANED AUTHOR PENS “MESSAYS” ON LIFE, LOVE, INTERNATIONAL ADVENTURES AND OVERCOMING TRAGEDY

In her new book, LA-based actress and author Pam Capone shares witty essays while healing from self-inflicted black eye “Rather than dwelling on misery and mishaps, the collection calls attention to the glimmers of hope and humor that lie in life’s challenging moments. An upbeat, honest celebration of imperfection that makes a compelling case for the power of accepting oneself, warts and all.”
Kirkus Reviews

“Even when cracking jokes, Capone is gentle, often poking fun at herself for small offenses fed by insensitivity. Though many vignettes also deal with serious . . . subjects, the majority cast [Capone’s] life in a humorous light. Easily read in a series of short sittings, or in one long one, this collection of short short essays easily punches above its weight.” Foreword Clarion Reviews 

(Nashville, TN) August 10, 2016-- Los Angeles-based actress and author Pamela Capone has penned her second book, I Punched Myself in the Eye, recounting true moments in her life that have made her who she is. From childhood drama to working with impoverished girls in Guatemala to casting-call nightmares and raising a family that is entertaining in its own right, Capone weaves humor and insight with nuggets of inspiration and truth, leaving readers uplifted in a way that few books do.

Born in the heart of Los Angeles, Capone was the youngest of nine children orphaned by their biological parents. Taken in by her foster parents at 18 months old, to this day Capone considers herself a rescue, and her adoptive parents, heroes.

“My goal in writing I Punched Myself in the Eye is and was to help people see that it’s often the small, unnoticed moments that pack the biggest punch, and to give meaning to the minutiae. I like to make people smile, laugh out loud and yeah, even cry, because, to me, those are the moments that sustain us,” says Capone. “A friend whose wife recently passed away from a three-year battle with brain cancer told me that he belly-laughed for the first time since before her diagnosis. For me, that was priceless.” Capone has coined her real-life stories (including her tale of the morning she woke up with a self-inflicted black eye) “messays.” These entertaining, adventurous, often downright hilarious, and always piercingly poignant reflections deliver simple truths with fresh insight and plenty of


Pamela Capone is the author of I Punched Myself in the Eye, which was released in 2015 and follows her debut title, The Little Girl Within: Overcoming Memories of Childhood Abuse and Abandonment. Capone lives in Southern California with her husband, John. Together they have two children and one grandpup. To learn more about Pamela, visit www.pamelacapone.com.

Reviews for I Punched Myself in the Eye 

“Pamela Capone must be a riot at parties. She can turn the most mundane details of a day into witty poetry, and find a way to connect it all to God’s higher plan for us. From the mini-essays in this collection, it is clear that Pam is the kind of woman you’d want in your corner when you’re in trouble to say just the right thing and help you laugh along the way...Some details of Pam’s life are repeated motifs—her adoption into an Italian-American family at a young age, her children, her charity work—but her voice, rather than her situations, really drive the stories.” IndieReader

“Messages of faith sprinkled throughout will appeal to readers with connections to the Christian tradition, but they’re handled with subtlety, so readers of other persuasions can still enjoy the work....Capone’s gregarious, approachable voice allows her to deftly handle a broad variety of subjects. Rather than dwelling on misery and mishaps, the collection calls attention to the glimmers of hope and humor that lie in life’s challenging moments. An upbeat, honest celebration of imperfection that makes a compelling case for the power of accepting oneself, warts and all.” Kirkus Reviews

“Even when cracking jokes, Capone is gentle, often poking fun at herself for small offenses fed by insensitivity. As the book progresses, the author’s personality becomes its primary strength, a situation not unlike a celebrity’s or comedian’s collection, and the author’s experience with stand-up comedy may factor in. Though many vignettes also deal with serious or sad subjects, the majority cast the author’s life in a humorous light. The book’s editorial style engages with wordplay, including puns, and is at its strongest when delivering jokes. I Punched Myself in the Eye is a family-oriented book most likely to appeal to Christians. Easily read in a series of short sittings, or in one long one, this collection of short-short essays easily punches above its weight.” Foreword Clarion Reviews 

“In this engagingly written, faith-based essay collection, Pamela Capone finds the humor and grace in ordinary —and sometimes extraordinary— situations. Capone has coined the term, ‘messay’ for her prose, a combination of ‘messy (informal untidy, embarrassing, difficult)’ and ‘essay.’...More than a few of the essays are poignant and thoughtful, rather than out-and-out funny—albeit handled with Capone’s appealing light touch and conversational style...Adopted at 18 months by her foster parents, after her birth parents were charged with child neglect, Capone writes many of the essays as reverent tributes to the parents who raised her and to her birth siblings, with whom she has a special bond. She also writes about her work at a girls’ school in Guatemala and about helping in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.” BlueInk Review 

“Any readers out there who need a good belly laugh? Pamela Capone’s latest work, I Punched Myself in the Eye is just the tonic for any reader looking for a fun book to pick up. This is a sparky collection of sketches drawn from everyday life: by turns hilarious, familiar, heartwarming and heart-rending. It’s a book the reader can dip into at leisure, enjoying the bite-sized chapters in any order. This is observational comedy in a very human style, and the readers (be they male or female) will surely find themselves laughing or crying out loud along with the author as she regales us with her witty prose... “Capone’s ability to, as she says herself, ‘admit we don’t have all the answers’ is very endearing, and her willingness to expose her own foibles and shortcomings is something readers will most certainly appreciate. Genuine laugh-out-loud humor is a more and more rare thing to come across in books these days, and the author takes readers back to the era of ‘I Love Lucy’ and the kind of selfless comedy that audiences used to enjoy on a regular basis once upon a time. Effortless writing in the dialogue in every story helps to make this a smooth read, while characterization is rounded, well-observed and vivid...“‘I’m all about carpe diem, I have the tattoo!’ Capone cries out—and on the strength of this well-crafted book that just about sums her up.” Self-Publishing Review

“A mixture of Erma Bombeck and Barbara Johnson, yet quintessentially Pamela Capone, this collection of personal anecdotes, life lessons, and poignant observations moves the reader from smiles to laughter to tears and all stops in between. Capone’s short essays are told with grace fueled wit that will lift your spirits, stir your heart, and inspire your better self.” Robyn Henk, author of BLESSED, Discovering God’s Bigger Dream for You 

“Stunningly potent! Hilarious! Beware, Pamela Capone’s brilliant ability to seize mundane happenings of life and turn them into humorous relatable, and insightful living will provoke laugh-out-loud moments. Her unexpected honesty and fresh ways to look at life and faith challenged me how I can do likewise. This book is relevant and important for today’s generation.” Tina Sechrist Randy, co-founder of IMA Guatemala

“In I Punched Myself in the Eye, Capone writes with equal parts humor and heart. She is your funniest friend, the one who’s able to see beyond the sadness, anger, embarrassment, or public humiliation to point out, impishly, the comedy that invariably lies beneath. Her wit is never mean or cheap; rather, she mines every situation to find her own humanity and spirit. Capone uses humor to heal.” Kirsten Mickelwait, author of Under a Vanilla Moon

“Pamela Capone’s personal ‘messays’ are winsome, brave, honest, real, and hilarious. She has such a unique ability to combine humor, wisdom, and pathos. Page after page, she managed to make me smile, laugh out loud, think, and feel deeply. I Punched Myself in the Eye will capture many hearts and minds, as I see a wide audience for this book. The woman’s a truth teller, and we are wise to listen.” Dee Eastman, Daniel Plan Director

“I Punched Myself in the Eye is philosophically funny and provides a mature message with mischievous flair. Capone uses puns, idioms, and faux pas with artistic magnetism. Her stories will entertain with simplicity yet challenge the reader to consider living differently based upon her divine encounters with a faithful God.” Jim McNeff, author of The Spirit Behind Badge 145

“Capone is an entertaining storyteller-come-friend, sitting across the kitchen table with coffee in hand, sharing anecdotes of a day in the life of an ordinary wife, mother, and struggling actress with a sense of humor. Divvied up into easy-to-read vignettes, you’ll chuckle too.” Janice Mock, author of Not All Bad Comes to Harm You: Observations of a Cancer Survivor

“There are few souls who know how to capture a scene, a feeling of being present in the very moment, in such a way as to make you really believe you were there—or wish you were. Pamela Capone is such an author. In I Punched Myself In the Eye, there is no shortage of moments that can tickle your funny bone, splitting your sides with laughter, and then bring you to tears. She has a gift for evoking feelings (including sadness and joy) in the reader, as well as inspiring one to be a better human being. Her warmth, her wit and wisdom and insight, are found on every page. We see in her words our own frailties, our own struggles, our own human condition. There is a unique ease about the way these stories are woven strand by strand into a tapestry against a wider backdrop of love, vulnerability, strength, and the joy of being alive. I highly recommend this book to all. It may just help you see your own life with new eyes and appreciation.” Elizabeth Midgley, author of Families Together and Daily Discoveries 

“When it comes to good fiction, you expect to be entertained—to laugh, to cry, to be inspired. It’s rare, though, when this happens in a collection of personal essays. In Pamela Capone’s I Punched Myself in the Eye, you’re treated to a collection of experiences that touch on the important things in life. The magic of this book is Capone’s ability to treat you with an often funny, always-spiritual ride with each story. Like Aesop’s Fables, you’ll enjoy a nice story and then realize there’s a profound message hiding underneath. Read this book. A personal change for the better will be the result.” Michael Sean Marshall, author of A Council of Angels

 “I adore Pamela Capone’s sense of humor and regard her as a diamond in the writing industry. Her writings here are relatable and fun-loving. We can all associate with her knee-jerk reactions to everyday interactions with others. After dipping your toes into the refreshing shallow end, stay tuned for more of a reveal of what Pamela is all about. You will be a better person for knowing the whole Pamela Capone. I know I am.” Terri Green, author of Simple Acts of Kindness

The beloved Mr. Rogers always said children should “look for the helpers” in any kind of tragedy on they might see on the news. I think Pamela Capone is a living Mr. Rogers. Her ability to find The Good will make your viewers sit back and breathe deeply, and search for the good in their own lives. Libby Kirsch, Emmy award winning reporter and author of the Stella Reynolds Mystery Series

FAST AS LIGHTNING!

What electronic accessory can you never have enough? Lighting cables. 

I need one in my purse, at my office, near my bedside charger, my home computer, and in my carryall tote. Not only do I need the cables for charging but I need ones that can't be chewed my my 'special' cat. She's a chewer of cords and a licker of plastic bags, but that's another story.

These lighting cables from Kenex are perfect. The cords are braided so that they won't be chewed through and they charge my iPhone 5 as fast as Apple recommends. They are very well made

Inevitably, my phone is nearly drained by the time I go to bed so I just plug this cable into my phone charger and still can use it before I fall asleep. The cord is tough but flexible and it extends at lease six feet so that it doesn't just hang when my cat knocks it off my bedside table. 

I have yet to get an iPad and my iPod was stolen from my car but these cables would work for them also.

If you're looking for a stocking stuffer, these are a great price and a great product.

PLAID IS BACK, IN A GOOD WAY!

I just love the new plaids for this winter! They are large and are available on all kinds of clothing but a plaid scarf is a great accessory to brighten up and ad interest to any solid color outfit.

This is a mixed colored plaid scarf with fringe edges. The plaid is large and boxy, just as I like them. The colors in this mix are a little different with the rose, olive and dark green. The material is a cashmere-like acrylic for easy care. 

It's long enough to twist and loop as you would like to wear it. It's available in four other color combinations that you are sure to love. The price is very reasonable, too.

I would recommend hand washing it before wearing.

SIMPLE YET STUNNING!

Sometimes it's nice to have an accessory that is simple yet makes a statement. Here is a simple rib knitted cowl infinity scarf that looks stunning when wound around the neck.

It's made of 100% acrylic yarn, very soft and warm. The weather has just turned cold in the northeast USA so I wore it when shopping yesterday and it was perfect to keep my neck and chest warm.

I chose the khaki color which goes well with many colors but you can choose from eight other colors from ReachMe.  These scarves would be perfect Christmas gifts this year and they are great for men or women.  Be sure to wash before wearing.

WINTER'S COMING, GET READY!

One thing that I have learned in my adult life, is that if you go out in the cold, you need to keep your neck warm. This scarf is perfect for the job.

It is a beautiful cable knitted infinity scarf with a very soft texture. The knitting is so nice that I couldn't hand knit it any better than what this company has done. The Pashmina yarn is standard weight and not too thin or thick. It perfectly winds around my neck so that I have the scarf effect that I want and protect myself from any cold draft. 

I ordered the wine red and am very pleased with the depth of the color. Other color choices are black, cream, red, and yellow. It would be wise to handwash the scarf before wearing.

Air Fryer Cookbook: Delicious Air Fryer Recipes For A Healthy Diet (Delicious, Recipes, Easy, Simple, Air Fryer Cookbook)


Everyone I know calls me a fussy eater. Well, I try to limit my intake of oils. Oil is one of the major causes of obesity in our country. Some of the major contributors to excess intake of oil and fats are fast food, processed food, such as potato chips.

Here is a cookbook for frying your foods with an air fryer. I don't have one, but I believe it is a great way to have fried foods without all of the excess cooking oils in your food.

This cookbook has recipes for frying or roasting meats and other foods for a healthier intake of good food. Air fryers reduce fried food odors in your home because of an air filter system and  faster cooking times.

There are plenty of simple breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes that are easy to make with your regular foods.

Follow the affiliate link below to see a sample recipe in the book with the table of contents and a preface of the style of cooking foods with an air fryer.

FEATHERING YOUR NEST? TRY THESE!

When you start to 'feather your nest' with products and supplies to begin homemaking, whether it be a first-time homeowner or your first apartment, it's usually the time when you place your own style imprint on home design.

When I first got married we had one bridal shower and people gave you gifts of what they thought you needed. It was a time way before the internet. You actually went to the store and bought what they had. 

There were no TV ads telling you what was the latest and greatest to have in your home. You had to depend on magazine ads and even then, there were only Good Housekeeping and Woman's Day to give you an idea of products for your home. They were never in the local stores, the items were out of our budget, and we didn't travel to shop.

So with the influx of the internet and the plethora of household products these days, it's easy to develop your style with what you like. Products are much more affordable, too, like this 7 Piece Set of Silicone and Stainless Steel Kitchen Utensils.  

They are constructed well and attractively generic for the modern kitchen. Most appliances come in the stainless steel and these would work well with any color scheme.  The silicone heads are great for cooking and mixing. They won't scratch your bowls or make any noises while you are stirring in your pots or stainless bowls.

They are BPA free and latex free.

For the price of $19.95, you get seven pieces which make each one cost about $2.85 so that are cost-effective. These would be a perfect upgrade for your own kitchen or a gift for a bridal shower.

VEGAN PROTEIN COOKBOOK, YES!


Gluten Free? Dairy Free? Vegan? Protein? All in one cookbook? Yes! This latest cookbook by Sam Kuma is right up my alley. I only eat plant-based foods, nothing that has or had, a face or a mother.  I can't eat dairy because of the lactose. Gluten, I'm ok with but if I can avoid it, I will.

Sam says that we can get enough protein from whole foods and don't need to have meat in our diet or take protein supplements.  You never know what's in them.  It's safer to grab a banana, some non-dairy milk, rice protein, pea protein, and almonds for a lovely protein shake to start the day.  Yum.

I've been eating this way for about five years and have never been healthier. 

Try it, you'll like it.

GET YOUR FALL STYLE ON!

Football weather is upon us and even though we've had some mild days, the evenings have that crisp freshness that only arrives as the air cools in the fall.

Bundling up for the game can be difficult but with this Pashmina Scarf, you'll be sitting snug as the leaves fall and the wind picks up.

It is 100% acrylic, washable and lightweight. It can be worn in several ways but on my short body, it's not as attractive as I thought it would be. The colors are perfect for fall and will go with jeans, leggings, long-sleeve tops or sweaters, add a belt and you're ready to go.

It's also great as a poncho for those chilly mornings going to work. Dress it up or down, it's up to you but you'll be in season for the season!

A FIGHT TO THE FINISH!

I got this new dog bed the other day and showed my 60 lb. Lab mix dog. He sat it in for a minute and then was more interested in eating.  

Since it was on the floor in the living room, my two cats had to investigate.  My Jaspar walked right in and laid out in the middle, perfectly content. But, the orange cat, Buxton, had to test the puffy pillow in the middle. He worked and worked his nails, purring all the while. It passed their test.

Later that night, I put the pet bed near our bed for the smaller dog but he turned his nose up and went onto his pillow. In the morning, I found the big dog, Jack, all snuggled in.

The pet bed is made very well with memory foam sides that give a little protection from floor drafts and the removable pillow for washing, is soft. The entire bed is covered in a furry fabric. 

It's a great product and I believe that it will wear well.

GIVE ME CHOCOLATE!

You can't be vegan and eat chocolate! That's what people tell me. So, I have to tell them about the recipes that are in this book. None of the ingredients are of the animal variety. There aren't even eggs. The milk is all nut based and delicious. I've been eating this way for four years but sometimes my diet becomes stale and I need inspiration. That's what this ebook has been for me, an inspiration. I love desserts and when they are healthy, that's the best kind of dessert.  I've tried the Chocolate Chia Smoothie Pudding, Three Ingredient Brownies, and the Chocolate Lava Cake.  As soon as my kitchen is back in business, I will try the Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake to take to a picnic this weekend.  Because I do eat only plants, my cupboards are already stocked with most of the ingredients needed for these recipes. But, they are readily available at most big box grocery stores.  I do hope you try some of these desserts.  Yummy.

SIMLU OLIVE DRESS! FANTASTIC FIT!



Can a woman fall in love with a dress? I did when I received this swing-type dress in olive green. It's the perfect color for my green eyes.  I love the fabric. When I had taken it out of the box, I was thinking that I would never get the wrinkles out but I used my hand steamer and they relaxed right out and stayed out when I wore the dress for the whole day. I just had a few from where my seat belt strapped across my stomach.  I ordered a size small because I wear a size four and I was very pleased with the fit. I am only five feet tall so I knew that it would be long but it was perfect with mid-calf boots. The arms were a little snug but the material has some stretch so they fit ok. I received some nice compliments when I wore it. I definitely would like to get several more in different colors.
