**BOOK REVIEW** A Pink Pearl by Ann Jacobson

A Pink Pearl by Ann Jacobson

This story follows the life of a Jewish girl that is going through a very intense phase of self-discovery. I struggled to get through the main part of the book because it was difficult to read about the graphic details of a teen girls sexuality. This was hard for me because I had a hard time getting past the idea that the story was about a young girl. This book shows the struggles of the young girl going through many trials as she is considered a deviant in her cultural because of her natural curiousness as a young girl. This story shows a behind the scenes things about the Jewish cultural and how their members are treated.

 Expandable Hose

I have uploaded my video review for this hose. When I received the product it came inside of an Amazon box with other items, the shipment was in great condition with no damage. The box for the Hosezzle was in perfect shape with no noticeable damage either. This is an expandable hose so it shrinks down when there is no water running through it  and expands when you turn on the water pressure. We have purchased another brand of the same type of hose prior which seems to expand to a thicker diameter than this one does so I was worried about water pressure when you turn on the nozzle which I didn’t need to worry about because it worked great! The valve to open the tip of the hose so that water comes out is easy to use with one hand. The hose also came with a sprayer attachment so that you can choose different sprays of water based on your needs.

These ethernet cables come in a pack of ten and have a couple of great colors. I like that they are not just the everyday yellow color that most of the ethernet cords come in. In our house we like for everything to be very colorful. At only 3 feet long there aren't a ton of purposes in our house for these cords. I used one to connect my modem to my wireless router. The cord is very durable and clips right into the port very easily and does not easily pull out without pressing the piece on the clip.

When we received the box from Amazon with this product it was only in the product box with a shipping label, it was not in a seperate Amazon box, and the box was also very damaged on the edges. When we unboxed the tray there was no noticeable damage to the tray due to shipping.

My family has a horrible habit of eating in front of the television instead of at a table and my husband is often eating his dinner in his recliner, which becomes a problem when we are eating a meal that requires using both a knife and fork. I have noticed some of the other reviewers stated that the tray was not sturdy. My husband has used this tray about 10 times since we have received it and so far we have had no issues, the tray seems to be holding up to his abuse. I will update it if something happens to the tray. I only gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 because of the way the box looked when shipment was received.

LED Bike Tail Light

LED Bike Tail Light

I got these lights for my son's bike so that if on the rare occasion he is riding at night he can do so safely without having to worry about if he can be seen or not. We just got the silver housing on the lights not the red or blue color but I like that there were different.

These lights are very bright, I have no doubt that they will help keep my son safe on his bike rides. The light itself has 3 settings: a steady light, a fast blinking light, and a slower blinking light.

The light is easy to install and remove on the bicycle as well, there is just a band made of rubber with a clip that fits into the band easily.There are also three slots that the clip can go into so it can be set to different sizes when mounted on the bike.

The light is also supposed to be waterproof but that is something that we have not be able to test out yet. For the price this is definitely a great product. For less than $10.00 you can ensure your own or your child's safety.

Slip On Distressed Ankle Boot - Western Cowboy Slouch Bootie

Stars: * * * * * 

I ordered these boots because I love the way that they look without having to have a full length boot, since I do have larger calves sometimes I have trouble with boots fitting properly or sometimes not fitting at all over my calves. I grew up wearing cowboy boots and know that if you do not get the right fit of boot it is very uncomfortable and can do a lot of damage to your feet.

I ordered these boots as a size 7 because last time I ordered a pair of shoes from this seller I ordered a 6.5 and they were a little small. These size 7 fit perfectly with a pair of socks, which I wouldn't want to wear something like this for a long period of time with out a pair of socks anyway. I have issues with one of my ankles which make it difficult to wear anything with even a slight heal. As I am typing this I have been standing at my desk working for almost 2 hours without any problems.

The material is great, I love the suede look to them. They do attract a little bit of white fuss which I think is from the packaging itself, once cleaned it off with my lint roller I haven't noticed any more yet but I have not worn them outdoors yet.

Overall I gave these shoes a 5 star rating because they are adorable, fit comfortably for an extended period of time, and they seem to be well made and will hold up well to the daily wear.

Amsam HDMI to VGA Converter with Audio Port & 3.5mm Audio Cable

My all-in-one does not have a VGA connector so I wanted to get a HDMI to VGA adapter to enable me to use my own laptop at work instead of the horrible chrome books that are provided by my employer. I did come across an issue once the product arrived but it is my own issue and is not related to an issue with the product, my laptop only has a micro HDMI slot it does not have a regular HDMI port. I have received a couple of these adapters for review at this point and I have noticed that I do not like the cord that goes from the HDMI male end to the VGA female box. It does come with an audio cord as well to hook up sound. This is not my favorite adapter but it does its job.
