Anyone that knows me, knows I love to polish my nails. I have done previous post about my favorite colors and designs. So when I came across the chance to review nail polish I was very excited. So for my color choice I choose Fuscia  being  as I love any shade of purple. I received my nail polish in the mail and could not wait to do my nails. This polish is made from organic products to help you achieve health nails. Some of the ingredients in the polish are Soy Protein and vitamin E to help combat dry nails. Overall I liked the product and would use again. The polish goes on smooth and coats the nail well so you don't have to apply so much. There was not a strong smell which to me is a plus.  The nail polish lasted for about 2 weeks. This is through tons of hand washing, bath times, and dish washing.

INTO THE FIRE by Lindsey Fairleigh and Lindsey Pogue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BLURB: The Virus changed them, but that was only the beginning… …death…mutation…insanity…corruption…terror… …all that remains is hope. In the wake of destruction left behind by the Virus, it took Dani and Zoe months to find each other. But their reunion was short-lived. Dani has been taken, and though little distance separates them, they might as well be worlds apart. From the moment she hears Dani’s scream, Zoe’s only goal is to save her best friend. She and her companions scramble to come up with a rescue plan, but when a ghost from Jake’s past reappears, lines are blurred, decisions become harder, and secrets are revealed…and some secrets are best left buried.

Remnants of the former world surround her—electricity, safety...

1. What made you want to be a writer? Well, I've always loved to read and make up stories in my head. I kept on with that even when everyone else had given up "make believe." I remember reading a book (actually, THE LORD OF THE RINGS) and thinking "I wish I could do that." And then thinking, "How do I know unless I try?" And now here I am. 2. Who is your favorite author? Lois McMaster Bujold. But, in the fields of urban fantasy and paranormal romance, I would have to choose Patricia Briggs for her Mercy Thompson series. 3. What is the name of the last book you read? The answer to this will change several times before this goes live. As of this writing: The last book I finished was Gail Carriger's ETIQUETTE AND ESPIONAGE. I'm currently in the middle of Dorothy L. Sayers GAUDY NIGHT (a mystery with a love story mixed in) and reading a collection of L. Frank Baum's Oz stories as research. 4. Tell us about yourself in 3 words?...

I had the pleasure of chatting with Adele of Santa to the Rescue 1. What made you want to be a writer ? I’ve been writing since I was nine. I used to lie on my stomach for hours on my bedroom floor and write poems and stories in a copybook with a #2 pencil. My senior year in high school, my English teacher urged me to write for publication. Pleased by her encouragement, I started submitting to newspapers. My first story was published in a Sunday magazine at age 19. I can’t explain what compels me to write; it’s just something I’ve always done. Perhaps it’s in my blood, since I come from an artistic family. 2 . Who is your favorite author ? I have several favorites, so it’s hard to choose only one. I go through phases where I’ll read everything an author writes and she becomes my favorite.  At present I’m bingeing on Lisa Gardner thrillers. 3. What is the name of the last book you read?   Maggie’s Man by Alicia Scott (a.k.a. Lisa Gardner, before she switc...

Confessions of an Author’s Assistant Judy Fox and Sarah Blausey Being an author’s assistant is a job like no other: Exciting, fulfilling, and, at times, crazy! We work for an Indie author, Victoria Danann, which adds another level of challenge to the mix. Without a big publisher behind us, we work on her behalf to get the word out about her amazing books. Here’s our first confession: Neither of us has worked as an author’s assistant before! We were both fans first, as well as being members of her street team. She mentioned one day that she was looking for a new assistant, and both of us replied. Being a smart woman, Victoria realized how amazing we both are. So, instead of choosing one, she hired us both! Now the three of us are blazing our own trail in the wild world of Indie publishing. Our most important functions are managing Victoria’s social media and the street team, which is a group of some of the most devoted Victoria fans around. The street team is one of our most i...

Today on The Simple Things in Life I had the pleasure of chatting with Boone 1. What made you want to be a writer? My twins. I’d dabbled in writing before they were born, but when they became toddlers I needed something to counteract Dora the Explorer. 2. Who is your favorite author? I have a few. Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series. I also enjoy Christopher Moore’s vampire series. Soo funny. Both write humor and that’s what I really love. 3. What is the name of the last book you read? Gabriella by Celia Kyle. The series is about three sisters mated to alpha weres. Very sexy and very fun. 4. Tell us about yourself in 3 words? Not too serious. 5. What is your favorite activity? Going to the movies. I don’t get to do it much so it’s always a real treat. I’m a sucker for a big screen, popcorn, peanut M & Ms, and a gigantic Coke Zero. 6. If your book could be made into a movie? Which actors would you have play the main two characters? I’d love Jennifer Anis...

 Today, I have the pleasure of chatting with Dannika of Seven Years 1. What made you want to be a writer? I wish I had a straight answer for this, but I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was a around twelve. I just didn’t know what kind of writer I wanted to be. I was one of those kids who daydreamed all the time and even as an adult, retained my vivid imagination. I love the idea of getting lost in another world and creating characters who come to life. I wrote poetry, song lyrics, and tapped into emotions. But back then, breaking out in publishing was not easy because there were too many gatekeepers and a long line. I ended up pouring my passion for writing into my day job by writing procedures, training material, etc. A few years ago, I decided it was time to pursue it seriously. It took me all those years to figure out that writing is what I was meant to do all along. Yes, it’s a full-time job that requires a minimum of 8 hours a day of writing, but I love it. 2. Who is ...
