Little Gems Necklace Review and Giveaway

(THIS IS NOT A BOOK REVIEW!) After careful consideration I thought at certain times I can do other things besides book reviws on here when I get great oppurtunities to review products like the Little Gems necklace from Something about Sliver. (I do have a blog through for just product reviews please visit it and follow it: http://wwwmyrbblogsot.blogspot.com/)  Frist I must say Something about Sliver was a great company to deal with Brandy who was my contact person was great to work with and answered all my questions and concerns if I had any. The product I chose to review was the Little Gems Necklace when I recieved it I was delighted. It came in a nice little box with a bow and then the neclace was in a little bag to keep it clean. So the packaging was nice. The necklace itself was a nice length not to long but not to short for me. Little Gem Necklaces are supposed to be for special occasions mine that I chose was for my college Graduation in May so in the middle of the circle on my necklace it says 2012 and then my schools name and the two little gems that are on it are green and gold which are the school colors. I loved how they let me personalize this for any occassion I would like. I love how its a unique product two that noby else will probaly have! I am so happy with this product its great I love it.

Star trek: Rise like lions

Star Trek: Rise like lions
by David Mack

This is a Star Trek book. While I am not a big fan of Star Trek this book was pretty good. At frist I was not sure how Star Trek would translate form the screen to the page but after reading and reviewing this and other star trek books its clear that it can. This book was not my favorite but I would recomend it.

The Things we Cherished

The Things we Cherished
by Pam Jenoff

I thought this book had an interesting permise to it and I liked the fact that it had a historical aspect as well. This book got kind of boring for me and I had to force myself to finish it. Im not really sure why I got tired with the book but I did for that reason I would not recomend the book it just wasnt for me.

Love and Shame and love

Love and Shame and Love
by Peter Orner

I thought this book was ok. It had a good plot but I did not feel conected with the book so thats why im saying its just ok. I liked the cover I thought it looked good. The only thing that disappointed me about the book was that it was long. I read long books but I think this one didnt need to be as long as it was. It was not one of my favorite books but I think I would still recomend it.

I would like to thank Anna from Hachette for letting me read and review this book.

Make the Bread Buy the Butter

Today im participating in a blog tour for the Cookbook Make the Bread buy the Butter by Jennifer Resse.

Book Info:

When Jennifer Reese lost her job, she was overcome by an impulse common among the recently unemployed: to economize by doing for herself what she had previously paid for. She had never before considered making her own peanut butter and pita bread, let alone curing her own prosciutto or raising turkeys. And though it sounded logical that “doing it yourself” would cost less, she had her doubts. So Reese began a series of kitchen-related experiments, taking into account the competing demands of everyday contemporary American family life as she answers some timely questions: When is homemade better? Cheaper? Are backyard eggs a more ethical choice than store-bought? Will grinding and stuffing your own sausage ruin your week? Is it possible to make an edible maraschino cherry? Some of Reese’s discoveries will surprise you: Although you should make your hot dog buns, guacamole, and yogurt, you should probably buy your hamburger buns, potato chips, and rice pudding. Tired? Buy your mayonnaise. Inspired? Make it. With its fresh voice and delightful humor, Make the Bread, Buy the Butter gives 120 recipes with eminently practical yet deliciously fun “Make or buy” recommendations. Reese is relentlessly entertaining as she relates her food and animal husbandry adventures, which amuse and perplex as well as nourish and sustain her family. Her tales include living with a backyard full of cheerful chickens, muttering ducks, and adorable baby goats; countertops laden with lacto-fermenting pickles; and closets full of mellowing cheeses. Here’s the full picture of what is involved in a truly homemade life—with the good news that you shouldn’t try to make everything yourself—and how to get the most out of your time in the kitchen.

Author Info:
Jennifer Reese has been a professional journalist all of her adult life, working mostly for national magazines, and has been an avid, adventurous home cook for even longer, which she blogs about at the Tipsy Baker (tipsybaker.com) as well as for online publications like Slate. Reese also teaches cooking classes in Marin County, California, where she lives with her family.

My review:
I thought this was a nice cookbook. I liked the setup of it. There are many really useful and affordable recipies here which I really liked that. The cover and title of the book was also creative. I would highly recomend this cookbook!

I would like to thank the people form Simon & Schuster Free Press for letting me read and review this cookbook!
