My Review of Blue Diamond Blueberry and Blue Diamond Salted Caramel Almonds! #ad

"Eating about 23 almonds a day is an easy way to incorporate many crucial nutrients into your diet. Almonds are rich in vitamin E, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Additionally, almonds are a significant source of protein and fiber, while being naturally low in sugar. One 23-almond serving packs 13 grams of healthy unsaturated fats, 1 gram of saturated fat and no cholesterol or salt. Of all tree nuts, almonds rank highest in protein, fiber, calcium, vitamin E, riboflavin and niacin content by weight. There are 160 calories in 23 almonds. While many of these calories come from fat, it is primarily the healthy unsaturated fats and not the unhealthy saturated kind."

Eating almonds on a daily basis is very beneficial but sometimes you just have to kick up the flavor a bit. I received one package of Blue Diamond Blueberry Almonds and one container of Blue Diamond Salted Caramel Almonds for review at no cost to me and can I just say that I have found my new favorite snack? The Salted Caramel have a sweet, salty flavor that is perfect for snacking right out of the container. The Blueberry almonds are sweet with the blueberry flavor that can also be eaten right out of the bag. I really loved them both. I do love to bake and I have been trying all sorts of different granola bar recipes. The one listed below is super easy and the flavored almonds lend just a little bit extra to the flavor! I hope that these are not limited editions because they are so good!

My Review

I received these cute little egg poachers the other day and I used them right away for our supper. The description says that they do not need to be oiled so I didn't oil them. I put the eggs in the poachers and cooked them according to directions. They cooked perfectly. I will say that the next time I use them I will be oiling them up a bit as I had a hard time getting the eggs out of the poacher. 

The eggs were delicious though in spite of that. I love the colors, so bright and I love that they can be used for a variety of things. They are perfect also for melting chocolate or even cheese cubes, they are a size that I think you could melt a couple pieces at a time. I really haven't poached eggs before, I didn't like the work involved or they never turned out. With the Silicone Egg Poachers, I will definitely be using them often as I do not like fried eggs. These cute little poachers are a great addition to any kitchen.
Available at Amazon

I received the Silicone Egg Poachers for review at no cost to me.

You can go here to order the book, help support adult literacy, go get your copy today!!

Indy Reads is a nonprofit literacy organization whose unusually creative outreach is transforming the lives of adults and families in Indianapolis’s lowest literate areas—and fueling a community determined to give back both on and off the page. Inside, trained volunteers offer one-on-one tutoring and barrier-breaking programming; outside, Indy Reads runs an independent bookstore, Indy Reads Books, in downtown Indianapolis that helps fund their initiatives. Now, they’re uniting local authors—like #1 New York Times bestselling author John Green—in a new cross-genre collection, Indy Writes Books: A Book Lover’s Anthology (Cardinal Publishers Group, $25.00 hardcover, July 1, 2015).

Indy Writes Books is an anthology of local Indiana authors who have helped Indy Reads’ independent bookstore grow and thrive, including John Green, Karen Kovacik, Dan Wakefield, Ben Winters, Will Shortz, and Cathy Day, and 23 additional powerhouse literary voices. All proceeds from Indy Writes Books support Indy Reads’ adult literacy programs in Central Indiana. The book features fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and puzzles centered around bookstores and reading, and was funded by a grant from The Margot L. and Robert S. Eccles Fund, a fund of Central Indiana Community Foundation.

Indy Reads Books is Indy Reads’ independent bookstore; the bookstore relies on donations of used books from the community, is staffed by volunteers, and donates all of its revenue to Indy Reads. It’s the only bookstore in downtown Indianapolis selling new and used books. They also host more than 250 cultural events annually, including author events, art exhibits, concerts, workshops, and lectures.

In addition to individualized tutoring, Indy Reads offers an inmate outreach program, neighborhood literacy labs, family workshops, library student outreach, and ESL and creative writing classes. They are the only organization in Indianapolis that is a partner of ProLiteracy Worldwide, the oldest and largest nongovernmental literacy organization in the world.

Indy Reads’ Executive Director and editor of the collection, M. Travis DiNicola says, “Indy Writes Books is a celebration of literacy, and a celebration of the amazing authors who are making Central Indiana a thriving literary community. This collection is for anyone who loves books and bookstores. Not only is it a great read, but every purchase helps support adults learning how to read.”

While You Were Gone

By Kate Moretti

Genre: Women’s Fiction

Book Description:

Despite Karen Caughee’s intense focus on her music, her life is drifting out of its lane. Her alcoholic mother keeps calling from bars for early-morning rides, her boyfriend doesn’t think she gets him, and that Toronto Symphony Orchestra position she applied for ends up going to her

friend, Amy. By chance, she meets American Greg Randolf just before she’s in a car accident. He pulls her from the wreckage, but after major surgery, her recovery is slow. Without her music, her life’s pursuit, Karen is pushed further adrift.

Greg stays by her side while she heals, and he sees her every time he’s in Toronto for work. Without any other support or friendship in her life, Karen craves his enthusiastic attention, and their friendship deepens to love. Though she’s fallen hard for him, he doesn’t share everything with her. In one heartrending moment, Karen’s life comes to a crossroads, and she must face the full truth about who Greg is, and about who she has become.

My Review of RFID Blocking Sleeves

What is an RFID Blocking Sleeve you ask? An RFID Blocking Sleeve is a little cover that you can slide your credit/debit cards into for your purse, wallet, pocket or any place that you have your cards while shopping. They come in a variety colors/designs, something for everyone, and they are inexpensive. If you are like me and don't pay attention to who is standing next to or near you while you are either checking out or even just shopping. These little sleeves are perfect to protect your privacy. I have mine in my little purse that I take with me. It is right in a slot made for the cards. When I used mine, I have the side sleeve one, All I did was pull the card out a little bit and slid the card in the machine without taking my debit card all the way out. I gave hubby the other sample sleeve I received and this one has the top opening, in which you would have to take the card out completely. If you are worried about shopping in a busy area, because, unfortunately, there are thieves out there who can do just about anything to obtain credit/debit card numbers. You can have one for every card your have and it will make it easy to remember which card is which and then you can keep them organized too. These sleeves will do the trick. I really like them and I think that they will hold up well. You can purchase these RFID Blocking Sleeves here at Amazon.

I received two RFID sleeves for review, and I was not monetarily compensated for my review.

Evergreen Falls by Kimberly Freeman Spotlight! #

The Book From internationally bestselling author Kimberley Freeman comes a captivating new novel about a scandalous attraction, a long-forgotten secret, and a place where two women’s lives are changed forever.

It’s 1926 and Violet Armstrong is a waitress at the grand Evergreen Spa Hotel, where Australia’s glitterati are spending a winter vacation. Among the guests who remain are Sam and Flora Honeychurch-Blacks, a wealthy brother and sister ensconced in the hotel for an extended stay. Violet and Sam have an attraction that is as passionate as it is forbidden as the hotel closes down for the winter season. When a snowstorm moves in, trapping them all, no one could have imagined what would unfold. The group must let their secrets be buried by the snow, but all snow melts, exposing the truth beneath… Eighty-eight years later, Lauren Beck takes a job at a café in the Blue Mountains, built as the first stage of the Evergreen Spa Hotel’s return to grandeur. There she meets Tomas, the Danish architect overseeing the project. As their budding relationship grows, Lauren discovers a series of passionate love letters dating back to 1926 that allude to a whirlwind affair—and a tragic secret. Lauren begins to unravel this long-forgotten mystery, but will discovering the truth finally make her brave enough to take a risk that could change her entire life? Inspired by elements of her grandmother’s life, Kimberley Freeman has created a complex tale of mystery, heartbreak, and love that will keep you guessing with every twist until the very last page.

"Kimberley Freeman's Evergreen Falls is a moving story of family and the dark secrets we sometimes hide from those we love most.Beautifully crafted, intricately plotted, and chock full of unseen twists, this novel will have you guessing until the end, and rooting for the triumph of love along the way." — Allison Pataki, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Accidental Empress "Freeman skillfully unites the stories of two women who live a century apart but both face the challenge of overcoming difficult pasts, and both under the lighthouse’s watchful presence. . . . Freeman’s moving tale gives her two heroines the unique chance to make a fresh start in life." — Publishers Weekly "The author’s description of the beautiful Australian coastline will linger with readers long after they finish the book," — Kirkus Reviews “Freeman weaves the two time periods together so seamlessly," — Booklist "What a perfect beach read. A sunken ship, buried treasure, a home on the beach by the lighthouse, sister relationships, adventure, and romance. Lighthouse Bay packs a lot into its two-pronged story." — atravelerslibrary.com The Author Kimberley was born in London, and her family moved back to Australia when she was three years old. She grew up in Queensland where she currently lives. Kimberley has written for as long as she can remember, and she is proud to write in many genres. She is an award-winning writer in children’s, historical and speculative fiction under her birth name Kim Wilkins. She adopted the pen name Kimberley Freeman for her commercial women’s fiction novels Duet and Gold Dust to honour her maternal grandmother and to try and capture the spirit of the page-turning novels she has always loved to read. Kim has an Honours degree, a Masters degree and a Ph.D. from The University of Queensland where she is also a lecturer. She lives in Brisbane with her young family. http://kimberleyfreeman.com/ https://catalog.simonandschuster.com/

I'm Not Her by Cara Sue Achterberg Spotlight!

Today I have Cara Sue Achterberg, author of I'm Not Her at Celticlady's Reviews! I will be reviewing at a later date!

The Book
It was a Tuesday like any other. And then it wasn't. A simple encounter at a supermarket changed Carin Fletcher's and Leann Cane's lives – literally. Suddenly Carin, a pretty, self-absorbed, underemployed college graduate, finds herself living as Leann, an uneducated, perennially poor, obese checkout clerk, and vice versa.

Carin is at first horrified: she’s enormous, she can barely make ends meet, her husband is an abusive loser, and she's saddled with the kid Leann had when she was a teenager. Meanwhile, Leann is initially thrilled: she's escaped destitution, she looks like a model, and people treat her completely differently.

But as the days pass, it becomes clear that life isn't clear-cut for either woman. Carin finds herself attaching to Trevor, Leann's precocious son, and developing feelings for Jimmy, a fellow employee who treats her with the respect few others bother to give her because of her appearance. At the same time, Leann is living a life she's always wanted in a body she's always dreamed about, but that doesn't mean that all of her problems have gone away...and a new one is emerging with Carin's sometimes-boyfriend.

Both women are facing unknowable futures that neither could have imagined. Are they destined to live this way forever? And if so, where will it all lead?

A brilliant, nuanced, and surprising tale about the way the world sees us and the courses we are on, I'M NOT HER is a remarkably assured first novel that introduces a profound new storyteller.

The Author
Cara Sue Achterberg is a freelance writer and blogger who lives on a hillside in South Central, Pennsylvania with her three remarkable children, three horses, a dog with compromised impulse control (but a sunny outlook), a frequently changing number of chickens, three perfect kitties, and a husband who can build, fix, or tolerate just about anything.

Her novel, I'm Not Her, will be published in August 2015 by Story Plant. A momentary twitch in the fabric of reality leads Carin, a beautiful, self-absorbed, underemployed college graduate, to swap lives with Leann, an uneducated, perennially poor, obese check-out clerk who is bagging her groceries when a Valentine’s display falls on Carin’s head.

Cara's essays and articles have been published in numerous anthologies, national magazines, websites, and blogs, in addition to local media. She enjoys teaching hands-on workshops on the Intentional Life and will happily address nearly any group on the subject. She has also led women’s retreats, facilitated book discussions, and taught classes on healthy cooking. 

Cara grew up in Hockessin, Delaware (and still considers Delaware the best state of all). She graduated from Averett University with a degree in music before setting it aside to follow her passion of training horses and teaching riding. She later returned to school and earned a degree in Youth Ministry from Eastern College, spending many years hanging out with teenagers, leading Habitat for Humanity work weeks, and eating a lot of pizza. 

After moving from Maryland’s Eastern Shore to York County, Pennsylvania. Cara switched careers again, reinventing herself as a writer mom.

It wasn’t until her youngest son developed the autoimmune disorder alopecia areata that she began a quest for a healthier lifestyle. Cara wishes she hadn’t come so late in life to the joys of cooking, gardening, and chicken-keeping, but counts herself lucky. 

Cara is passionate about organic food, clean air, productive gardens, uncluttered lives, and real relationships. She also loves Belgium chocolate, Greek olive oil, and almost any cheese.

Cara writes the blog Kid Friendly Organic Life which explores every angle of intentional living and served as the testing ground for her book Live Intentionally: 65 Challenges for a Healthier, Happier Life. She also writes the blog, Another Good Dog which chronicles her adventures as a dog foster mom. 

She is currently working on projects which include writing two more novels for Story Plant, finding a publishing home for her young adult novel which explores the aftermath of a teenage life after a texting and driving accident, and a memoir about her experience breaking a difficult horse while raising her (not-quite-as-difficult-but-certainly-not-easy) children. 

When not writing or weeding (which can sometimes be one and the same), Cara enjoys running, hiking, reading, visiting Virginia wineries, and trying not to fall off her favorite horse, True. 

You can keep up with Cara on facebook (Cara Sue Achterberg, writer) or twitter (@CaraAchterberg). You can find links to her blogs and inspiration for teen writers on her website CaraWrites.com.

• I was fortunate enough to be offered the premium edition of Grammarly for review, I was not compensated monetarily.
• That said, I have been using Grammarly almost a month now. I have three blogs I maintain on a daily basis, and usually over 300 emails that I deal with every day. I am a blogger/reviewer plus I share on social media platforms and it is important to me to have my posts proofread before they are posted. I have not had any formal education in English so, even though I think that I do very well in my writing, having a program like Grammarly to double check for errors is a must. You can even get a mobile app for Grammarly.
• I love this program, I feel that this is a program that everyone should have at their disposal. It will definitely help with spelling, punctuation, vocabulary usage and it even checks for plagiarism. It is unobtrusive, in that there is only a little thing at the bottom of your posts or articles. You just click on that, and it will bring up a box with suggestions and/or corrections for you to use.  I purposely made mistakes so I could show you how it works. See picture below.
• 
  

• Anyone who writes, be it an author, student, teacher or just anyone who uses social media needs to get this program, you do want your resumes or articles to look professional don't you? I highly recommend Grammarly for all of your proofreading needs.

All Roads by Peter Murphy Spotlight! #AllRoads #PeterMurphy #Irish

Today, I am pleased to present All Roads by Peter Murphy to Celticlady's Reviews. The trilogy consists of Born and Bred, Wandering in Exile and All Roads. He is also the author of Lagan Love which I absolutely loved. I will be reviewing All Roads soon.


The Book
Danny Boyle isn't all here. Years of destructive behavior have left him in 
an alcoholic coma. Meanwhile, his marriage is over, one of his children wants nothing to do with him, and the other suffers by his bedside.

And while the complexities of life swirl around him, Danny, in his halfway state, comes face to face with his demons and struggles to understand them. He must confront the ghosts of his past – ghosts who have unfinished business with him.

No one can be certain of where Danny's road is leading. But where it actually leads is far more surprising than any could have anticipated.

The resounding conclusion to the Life & Times Trilogy, All Roads is a stirring ode to life's resilience and possibilities. 

The Author
“Ireland has produced more than its fair share of talented authors and poets: James Joyce, Patrick Kavanaugh, Austin Clarke, Brendan Behan, William Butler Yeats, and many more. With his stunning debut novel, Lagan Love, Peter Murphy is well on his way to adding his name to that impressive list…. Lagan Love takes the traditional love story and ramps it up several notches, with a supernatural twist that makes it an instant classic. I would highly recommend Lagan Love to anyone who loves supernatural romances, urban fantasies, and great literature in general. I can’t wait to read what Peter Murphy writes next.” -Douglas R. Cobb
