Book Review: I Am Made of Death by Kelly Andrew

I Am Made of Death by Kelly Andrew is a young adult book that is told from the perspective of two different characters. It opens with Thomas Walsh taking a job as an ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter for a mute girl named Vivienne who hasn't spoken since a family vacation gone wrong. Vivi must be accompanied at all times and isn't allowed out after dark. She has decided to take matters into her own hands and have a medically questionable surgery to fix her issue. A huge thank you to NetGalley and Scholastic for providing me with an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of I Am Made of Death by Kelly Andrew for free in exchange for my honest review. This is a book that I wished for, and my wish was granted. To say I was excited is an understatement. The character development for both Thomas and Vivienne was exceptionally good, especially for a YA book. We learn their backstory continuously throughout the storyline, so the development is slow. As for the writing, it was well written...

Product Review: Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor

Product Review Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor - Influenster 2
I received the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor from Influenster.com and Schick Intuition for free in exchange for my honest opinion. When I learned I was receiving this product, I was excited to test it out and couldn't wait for it to come.

The product arrived at my house on Saturday afternoon, but I had just shaved the night before, so I had to wait a couple days before I could test out the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor. When I finally was able to test it out, I didn't read the instructions, so I lathered up my right leg with soap and water and began shaving. 
 
At first, I was a little apprehensive because I tend to nick myself while trying out new razors, but surprisingly, I didn't nick myself. When I realized I didn't need to lather up with soap or shaving cream, I tried the razor out on my left leg and was surprised to see all the lather coming from the razor. It was a pleasant surprise. The only complaint I have about this razor when it comes to shaving my legs is that it didn't provide a close enough shave and left my legs feeling a little stubbly.
Product Review Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor - Influenster 4

Next, I used it to shave my underarms. I did make sure to wash off my deodorant before using the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor, and it did extremely well. Normally, I'm left with razor burn or bumps in my underarms but that wasn't the case with this Schick Intuition Razor. My armpits were as smooth as a baby's bottom. Unlike my legs, my underarms got a close shave and were not stubbly.

The final area I used the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor was my bikini area. My skin in this area is very sensitive, and I'm usually left with razor burn and/or unsightly bumps. With this Schick Intuition Razor, my skin was left smooth with no bumps. I was completely surprised by this in a very good way. 

Pros: No need for shaving cream or soap. No bumps in my bikini area. No nicks on my legs, underarms, or bikini area.

Cons: The razor is a bit cumbersome. Left my legs feeling a little stubbly.

Final Thoughts: Perfect for the more sensitive areas like my underarms and bikini areas but doesn't provide a close enough shave for my legs. With that being said, I'd definitely buy the Schick Intuition Lemon Berry Breeze Razor to shave my bikini area and underarms. Four out of five stars.

Book Review: The Dare by Natasha Preston

The Dare by Natasha Preston is a young adult horror novel about Marley and her friends Atlas, Lucia, and Jesse are seniors in high school.  The senior pranks are fun and lighthearted until Rhett starts doling out dares that are more serious.  Will Marley and her friends survive? A huge thank you to NetGalley for the Advanced Readers Copy of The Dare  by Natasha Preston.  The last book I read by this author was so well written, I knew I wanted to give her latest story a try. The first thing I noticed about the story is it's reminiscent of R.L. Stine's Fear Street series, which brought back all the feels from my childhood.  Pretty quickly, the storyline shifts and is eerily similar to the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer .  It's at this point that I became disappointed with the book and almost stopped reading it.   Additionally, there were other parts t hat reminded me of The Secret Diaries by Janice Harrell.  So, overall, The Dare wasn't ...

Product Review: Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist - Gain Scent

One particular weekend night, I was watching television, and a commercial came on advertising Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist. In the ad, it mentioned that it would take off grime and dirt after spraying it on the surface and wiping it off with a simple swipe. It went on to mention that it could be used in the bathroom, and I thought, "I really need to try this product on my bathtub." Excited, I couldn't wait to buy it and looked for it at the grocery store the next day while I was getting my weekly groceries. I wasn't expecting to actually find it in stores yet because it usually takes the stores in my area a few weeks to get products in stock after I see it advertised on television. Much to my surprise and delight, my local Kroger Grocery Store actually had the Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist in stock and in no less than two scents. I grabbed the Gain Scent bottle and stuck it in my grocery cart. Eventually, I decided to use it to cle...

Book Review: Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich

Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich is the latest installment in the Stephanie Plum book series and opens with Joe Morelli asking Stephanie to dog sit his dog Bob while he is out of town testifying at a trial.  The typical chaos ensues when Stephanie has to bring Bob along to apprehend all of her FTAs and has her asking herself if she wants to be married. Each book in this series typically follows the same formula and is wrapped up in a neat, tidy bow at the end.  It's because of this that I enjoy the series . . . I always know that Stephanie is going to get herself into some sort of trouble and need Ranger or Morelli to help her, and the bad guy is always caught.  Sometimes, I just need something familiar and predictable to read.  And, I don't mean that in a bad way either because it allows me to escape reality and gives me a few chuckles along the way.  It's like the comfort food of books for me. The last few books I felt like someone had g...
