**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.

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

Amazon Price: $8.69

Stars: * * * * *  

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

Slip On Distressed Ankle Boot - Western Cowboy Slouch Bootie

Amazon Price: $26.95 - $28.50 

Shipping: Free with Amazon Prime

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

 
Amazon Price: $8.99

Stars: * * * 




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.

I did not need all five of these bags when I ordered these. When this came up for review I was actually getting ready to order just one bag for my daughters socks. Anyone who has had a baby knows that those tiny little socks really get away from you when you are doing laundry. I like the idea that there are 5 different size backs included in this set. I do not really have a lot of laundry to seperate in the different bags but I do like the idea of using the smaller bags for baby socks and bras. The larger of the bags I used to store a couple of pieces of clothes in my closet. These bags are cute and function as they are supposed to we. I will have to do an update after using them a couple of more times in the wash because I am unsure how long the writing and pictures will last in the wash. Also all of the writing on the bags is in Japanese so it is great that there is a picture showing what you should be putting in them.

I have been using the brush on my back and shoulders in the shower, places that are hard to reach. I feel like the bristles could be a little stronger and harder as well, I also wish that the handle was a little longer. The cellulite is nice and feels good, I have mainly been using it on my thighs which is where I, and most other women, have a majority of my cellulite. I have only been using this for about a week and I haven't noticed a huge difference in the in the visibility of my cellulite but it feels good and my skin is feeling softer so I will continue to give it a try.

Our family just got a pool for the first time this summer so we have spent the summer trying to accumulate the different items that we need for the pool. Everyone in our family is big on being in the water and spend a lot of time in the water even outside of our own back yard. These goggles were appealing to me because they came with the nose plugs and the ear plugs. The goggles are even tinted and are anti-fog. The plastic case that they goggles are stored in is great and you don't have to worry about the case itself getting wet.

There was a spot of tinting on the goggle that was missing, this didn't cause any issues with the goggles ability but does speak to the quality of the lenses. The goggle seals easily to the face and they are comfortable on your face and head.

**Review** Giant Rocket Balloons/Pump Set

100 Giant Flying Rocket Balloons Pump Set

Amazon Price: $11.88

Stars: 5

My entire family had a blast with these rocket balloons, us adults included. Mason opened them up and couldn't wait for the kids to try them out. We were outside right away, well maybe not everyone in our family enjoyed them....Pongo was not a fan! 

Last weekend I am pretty sure that Aiden spent at least a combined total of 3 hours playing with these balloons if not more. 

They are extremely durable, we have only had one break! However beware that they will get lost over time because sometimes they just go nuts. I know we have lost a couple on the roof of the neighbors house. There is no way we will go through 100 of these balloons so we ended up giving half of them to 2 kids we babysat for a friend yesterday.

The only complaint that we had with this product was the pump! It is a cheap little thing which took FOREVER to air up each balloon, but it ended up breaking after a few uses anyway and we started using the bike pump in order to fill them faster.

I think that these are fun for families and kids of all ages and will provide tons of entertainment!!!

I use a small all-in-one that I use for both personal and business use. I ordered this adapter because I wanted to be able to hook my laptop up to a larger monitor for use while I am in the office. I have been unable to use it for that purpose since I got it but that is not a fault of the product but the fact that I did not notice until after I received the product that my laptop only has a micro-HDMI port, I have ordered an adapter to go on the adapter to make it so that I can use it. I did use it to hook an X-box up to the monitor so that I was able to see what kind of quality of picture the adapter provides. I have to say even on the monitor the gaming was great quality! I have received another HDMI-VGA adapter however this one is much easier to use since it is just one piece and there are no cords coming out of it unless you choose to use the audio cable that comes with it. Overall I am very satisfied with this product and I can not wait to be able to use it for the purpose that I originally purchased it for!

 I received these shoes for a very deep discount in order to complete a review on Amazon. When I was offered these shoes I was very skeptical about what the quality of the shoe could really be but overall these are not a bad shoe. I ordered a size 6.5 but I really should have ordered a size 7 because as I figured they ran a little on the small side, they were also narrow on my feet. I was able to wear these shoes all day at work which I do quite a bit of standing and walking around my office since I work at a stand up desk and they were not horrible on my feet, but I do have to admit wearing a new shoe to stand up in is not really the best idea in the world.

There was a seam on the shoe that was very noticable which is my only complaint about the quality of the make of the shoe. So overall if you know that you need to order a slightly bigger size which happens depending on brand of the shoe, I am overall satisified and I have recently received other shoes from this seller (ZooShoo) from Amazon and I love the way that they have done business. On top of enjoying the product that I have received from them I have had to correspond with someone at ZooShoo a couple of different times and I always receive professional, courteous, and prompt responses!
