I got to test and review some cool stuff! #JollyVoxBox
As you may have seen on my profile here, I am a member of Influenster. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a cool little website that sends out boxes of products for you to try and talk about. It’s a pretty nice little gig for someone like me who loves to talk about, well, everything. Recently I got my first box from Influenster. It was the Jolly Vox Box and it contained some really cool stuff. Here’s a quick list of everything that was in my box: Puffs to Go Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer Ducklings Mini Rolls Skinny Cow Divine Filled Chocolates Candy NYC HD Color…

What does A&E’s suspension of Phil Robertson really mean?
This morning when I visited my Facebook news feed, I was confronted with a lot of beards. They were everywhere. My friends are very upset about the fact that A&E has suspended Phil Robertson because of his remarks about homosexuality. I’m not surprised by A&E’s move but I am surprised by the thought process behind all of it. Now let me back up for a minute.

Book Review: Bird on Fire
Bird on Fire by Jane Wells Genre: Non-Fiction, Devotional Publisher: David Crumm Media LLC Published Date: November 10, 2013 Everyone’s heard of The Hunger Games. Right now, the sequel, Catching Fire, is the number one film in the U.S. The actors are all over every news channel doing interviews and anyone connected with Hollywood is seeing them on entertainment websites. It is a full-fledged in your face phenomenon that doesn’t seem to be slowing down. This series about a young girl who has literally been sacrificed to her government in some of the most horrifyingly violent situations imaginable isn’t exactly family friendly entertainment. Though the series was written for grades…
