Subscription Box Review: Once Upon a Book Club
You guys know I love subscription boxes. I mean I really, really love them. I think it is really cool to get a box every month and be surprised by what is inside. Unfortunately, you can’t always guarantee that a box is good. Sometimes you get duds. Seriously I got a box once that had all this stuff free floating in it – looked like someone had cleaned out their junk drawer! I also love books. That’s a fact that is pretty well documented by the fact that I own Fiction Addict and Radiant Lit. At the beginning of the subscription box phase, I tried a couple of book themed…

Subscription Box Review: Harrison Blake Apparel
Hello everyone! Are you all still here? It’s been a bit quiet on my end of things and I apologize for that. For those who don’t know, I spent some time in the hospital at the beginning of February and ended up having two emergency surgeries. So that’s put me behind on a few things! Thankfully I’m coming back around and digging out of that hole so you don’t need to worry that I’m going away anytime soon! Unfortunately, a few things got behind while I was recovering and the review of this fabulous subscription box was one of them. So my deepest apologies to Harrison Blake Apparel for being later…

My Thoughts on The Shack
Unless you have been under a rock, you’ve likely heard about the movie, The Shack. Open confession here: I haven’t read the book. That usually makes most people gasp and freak out when I say it. I read books professionally, so it’s just assumed that I read this one. When I was invited to this early screening (thank you KSLR, The Fish San Antonio and my friend Audra!) I was able to step in and watch without any preconceived notions. But I will admit here that I was freaked out a little. My newsfeed on Facebook these days doesn’t look too awfully different than it did during the election. Instead…

Anyone interested in recipes?
A few years ago, I learned a tremendous amount about prepping meals ahead of time and freezing them. It really saved me a lot of time and money. When I get a job, we tend to eat out because it’s harder to keep up when I’m so busy. So having those recipes on tap is important for us. I also learned that I am unable to do the all day marathon prep sessions. One day I spent something like 14 hours prepping meals that ended up lasting me for almost 8 weeks. However I also learned that after spending that long in the kitchen, I didn’t even WANT to go…

Daily Goodie Box Subscription Review
So you guys know I LOVE subscription boxes. I mean seriously how can you not? A neat package of stuff curated especially for your interests that comes right to your door? It’s like a mini little Christmas or birthday. So when I was asked recently if I would be interested in reviewing the Daily Goodie Box, that was pretty much a slam dunk. I checked out their website and I appreciated everything I saw. So of course I said yes! I started out pretty impressed from the second I got the box. It was a box INSIDE a box. That might annoy some people, but honestly, I thought it was…

Not your typical Damsel….
I hate selling things. I really, really do. Most people think that marketing and publicity are all sales, but they really aren’t. Marketing is about a message and a brand and it hopefully HELPS sales, but it’s definitely not sales. Talking people into spending money on something is one of my least favorite things to do. Over the holidays, I came across a company that snagged my attention. Damsel in Defense. Don’t you just LOVE that name? As someone who has worked extensively in human trafficking, I was instantly engaged. When I went to the page and saw the products, I was even further drawn in. Their marketing was on point…
