Almost perfect Review



Product Description

A Saturday off-road outing leads to a burned-out car with a man's body inside: a young and successful lawyer found dead, with no known enemies. 
Three women, all deeply connected in some way to the victim, are swept into the investigation, involving a post-WWII love affair, an embezzlement case, and a brilliant police detective. When the truth is revealed, secrets are exposed – they must all face a difficult, complex, and unexpected reality. 

Almost Perfect is a light thriller, which does not require a thorough reading to trace the hidden details. You will find a sophisticated, intriguing story, variety in the narration, and many secondary stories (interesting in themselves), connecting to a harmonious overall picture. It has humanity and longing for warmth and love. 
The writer sets her stories in the real world, where the smells, tastes and feelings are known and accessible to the reader. These make the book enjoyable, thrilling, and allow the reader to connect with the characters. 

MarksvilleandMe reviews Almost Perfect
written by
Orly Krauss-Winer

With Almost Perfect you get a little bit of Romance, Mystery, Crime, and Thriller all rolled into one. This had me at Mystery. Although I would have liked to see this written over a book series to get to know the characters even better, I was able to follow along quite nicely. Yes the character back stories were that good. 

Like any mystery there is always room for a surprises and Almost Perfect follows through quite well. I also liked how they put in a story about WWII. Honestly I would like to see more books written by Orly Krauss-Winer in the future. 

You can purchase Almost Perfect on Amazon.

MarksvilleandMe reviews Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream

With Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream you only need a tiny tiny amount, the first time I used it I pumped out enough for about 10 people so only do about half a pump when using. This smelled like sweet tarts to me but everyone has a different opinion on smell. it is a very light cream that goes on very easy. I didn't have any skin irritation but the vapors did cause my eye to water once but it didn't do again. Can be used one to two times a day.

You can purchase Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream on Amazon.
Product description

Morning dew is nature’s reminder that we all need moisture to kick start our day. This premium hydrating serum contaeins plant derived Hyaluronic Acid that provides the perfect amount of ‘dew’ to last throughout the day. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Green Tea add that extra punch, leaving your skin smooth and nourished. 

MarksvilleandMe reviews Body Merry Hyaluronic Dew Serum

The Body Merry Hyaluronic Dew Serum comes in a dropper type bottle as with Body Merry's other products so far a little goes a long way. You want to use this on a clean dry face. If you use toner use after toner, apply to face and neck, let dry, then follow with moisturizer. 

This serum feels almost like you are rubbing water onto your face so it is light and easy to apply. I like that it only adds a few more seconds into my daily face routine one I am excited to see the difference. Use once a day.

You can buy Body Merry Hyaluronic Dew Serum on Amazon.
Product Description

Much has been said about the power of Retinol in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and its not without reason. This professional grade 2.5% retinol serum lets you truly sink in all the goodness of Vitamin A. Plant derived Hyaluronic Acid adds the much needed hydration and Green Tea works its charm as a powerful antioxidant.
MarksvilleandMe reviews Body Merry 2.5% Retinol Serum

The Body Merry 2.5% Retinol Serum comes in a dropper bottle and looks like it will be sticky but is like putting water on your face again. You want to use this on a clean, dry face, if you use toner do that first and then follow with Body Merry  2.5% Retinol Serum. Use once a day.

Both the Body Merry 2.5% Retinol Serum & Body Merry Hyaluronic Dew Serum use once a day so I use one in the morning and one at night. 

You can purchase Body Merry 2.5% Retinol Serum on Amazon.

MarksvilleandMe reviews Surpahs Dual-S Body Fat Scale

The Surpahs Dual-S Body Fat Scale is a really nice scale, but since I weight more then the 330 lb maximum weight limit so I had to get my children to assist on trying it out. I like that I don't have to hook it up to any computers which is really nice and easy for my daughters to use. 

It is a bit smaller then my other 400 lb weight limit scales which makes sense since the person weighing themselves would have a smaller standing width. Even though this has all of the bells and whistles our family mainly uses it just to see how much we weight. 

Maybe more healthy conscious people use all of the other measurement methods and down the road we might use more of them too. We are a family that has taken little steps to eating healthier, and trying to lose weight in the process. I know someday I will be able to weight myself on this scale like I do my bigger scale and that day will be a day to blog again. 

You can purchase the Dual-S Body Fat Scale on Amazon.

Being Kind

Hello everyone I have been chosen to write a blog about kindness. All of my life I have been kind to almost everyone, even when they are not kind in return. Why you may ask. Well I was brought up to be kind to everyone and try to see things from both sides of the coin. We don't walk in others shoes, we don't live the lives they live. We just don't always know what make people the way they are. So being kind is the right thing to do.

I have had people say I say I was trying to steal friends by being kind. I have always made friends easily which is something I get from my father and I am proud to have gotten from him. I love everyone even those who have harmed me or my family. I don't have to like what they did or even like their choices but I still love them no matter what.

So with this kindness post I wanted to talk about different ways I have been kind over the years. Our family has given to toy collections for Christmas gifts, we have given to shelters, food pantries, and local community helping organizations. We have taken in homeless people before, giving them a place to eat, sleep, and get back on their feet.

We have held doors open, shared coupons with those who had groceries in their cart that we had coupons that matched. We have randomly given money to families that we heard while shopping telling their children in tow that they couldn't get such and such because they didn't have enough money.

This is just a sampling of what we have done for others over the many years we have been together. When we fell on hard times we have even had others lend a hand to make things better for us. More often then not that help came from strangers, not family. People we may never see again. This is what Kindness is. An act of giving freely of yourself either with money, products, or time.

I firmly believe the more kindness that is shown towards other the more kindness you get in return.
