Always Kiss Me Goodnight Wall Decal Review

Since my husband has off for Winter Break from college we are going to repaint our upstairs hallway as well as painting our bedroom for the first time in the seven years we have lived here. The kids rooms have always come first leaving our room last so it is about time for our room to look nice too.

I had hoped to have a picture of our room all done before I wrote this blog, but of course it is due well before we have even started painting so please look for an updated photo of before and after of our bedroom sometime after the New Year. Please remember that we rent a big old house.

VinylDisorder has many different kinds of clings and decals. From bedrooms to cars they have you covered. You can even have custom Decals made up. Awesome I am going to have more made up for the girls for their rooms in the near future. Awesome, Fun, and Unique. I love it.

You can purchase this same exact Decal here.

The List: Shout Out Your Dreams! Review

MarksvilleandMe reviews The List: Shout Out Your Dreams

written by

Yuval (UV) Abramovitz

Our family has always been known as a family that carries on no matter what is thrown at us. Of course we give that credit to God, he has made us adaptive to what comes our way. I am very optimistic while my husband is more pessimistic so together we make a great couple that helps each other through all sorts of things that come our way.

We have lived through being homeless with 5 children while I was pregnant with my 6th child. We paid our rent, sadly our landlords didn't pay the mortgage so one day the Sheriff and bank show up and tell us we are being evicted. Not something we planned at all.

We smiled, kept our children busy while being homeless until almost 3 months later when we were finally able to move into another home big enough for our family, and a home where our family has had much growth. Yes we had our low times, we all do, but it doesn't take long for us to pick ourselves up and move forward.

I have always been a list maker always making lists of things I want, need, want to give, etc. It wasn't until I was older that I found out I was making lists about my future planning so to speak, but as I grew older, becoming a wife, mother, and contributor to our families lively hood, I realized I wanted more for our family. I have read several book but The List: Shout Out Your Dreams! is the only one that has you make lists and then shout out what you want.

Besides the shouting I was pretty much onto this way of thinking since the first time I ever made a list but this book really brought it front and center for me. I have even been telling my husband about being more into making our dreams come true. He needs to believe they will happen instead of just saying he will never have so and so, that we both as a couple need to decide what we want for our family so that it will happen.

Slowly over the last year we have seen big changes, but we are still a work in progress. Thanks to The List: Shout Out Your Dreams! we have even more reason to move forward.

You can purchase The List: Shout Out Your Dreams! on Amazon.

Women’s Confidence Panties by Hush Hush Review

Everyone wants it to be a secret but even in hushed tones many people deal with leaks in their daily lives. Now you can buy with confidence undergarments that don't look like a pad or adult incontinent pants that are made from plastic.

I like the thought of wearing regular looking underwear with built in protection. Great for leaks from both urine, blood, and other little mishaps that might happen. I just personally went through having pneumonia and every time a coughing fit came along I had leaks, but thankfully I have a pair of Hush Hush Women's Confidence Panties, they were much needed while battling being ill.

What I like best about Hush Hush Women's Confidence Panties is that they aren't thrown away to fill up a landfill they are washable and reusable. Don't keep this quite if you know someone who battles with bladder leakage please direct them to the comfort they deserve.

Be one of the first 2000 to take this survey and get a free pair.

It’s the Hush Hush Free Panty Program and here’s how it works:

- Open to women 18 or older in the continental U.S.
- All interested women need to do is complete a short survey – it’ll take two minutes or less!
- Hush Hush gets their size and mails them a free pair of panties!
- Hush Hush is giving away 2,000 free pairs of panties to the first women to complete the survey.
- Anyone else who completes the survey (beyond the first 2,000) will get a coupon code to purchase the panty for $5 – a 50 percent discount!

Bonapiel Vitamin C Facial Serum Review

MarksvilleandMe reviews Bonapiel Vitamin C Facial Serum

Bonapiel Vitamin C Facial Serum is for sensitive skin so if you have had problems with other Serum's this might be right for you. Bonapiel Vitamin C Facial Serum replenishes your skin's Vitamin C levels, so it will help give you a more youthful appearance.

This is a small pump type bottle, where a little goes a long way. I find with Serums you only need to use a small amount. When I used this I found that I felt a gently tightening of the skin which I would guess gives us the firmer skin tone we want as we age. I haven't used it long enough to see if the benefits are long lasting or if they stop when you cease using the Serum, but I have seen a difference in my skin while wearing it. I only use this once a day in the morning.

You can buy Bonapiel Vitamin C Facial Serum on Amazon.

What Bonapiel has to say about their product

Replenish your skin's Vitamin C levels to enjoy the skin you always wanted:
- Improves the skin's natural firmness and hydration.
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Boosts collagen production for a youthful appearance
- Provides complementary skin-beautifying effects by protecting against damage from UV light and free radicals.
Specially formulated to not break out your skin. Bonapiel's Vitamin C Facial Serum blends all four of these gentle but POWERFUL natural ingredients for a firmer, more glowing skin:
- 18% of Vitamin C
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Moisturizing Exotic Jojoba Oil
- L-Arginine
