Sandcastle Kings~ Meeting Jesus in a Spiritually Bankrupt World by Rich Wilkerson, Jr.~ Book Review

Image
Sandcastle Kings talks about the 4 stories in the Bible in Luke Chapter 7. Preacher Rich Wilkerson, Jr. leads the reader through each story with its lesson on being spiritually bankrupt, finding Jesus and accepting the Grace that He has died to give us. The author deeply examines each story in his own words and explanations; some of which may appeal to a younger audience. Wilkerson does try to tie in his own personal experience throughout the book with the Biblical stories and principals as they are written in the Bible. My overall opinion of this book: It was a bit repetitive, a little boring and maybe better left for a younger generation to discover. The author’s wording/use of (slang) I can’t find a better word for it- didn’t hit home with me or fill my spirit or soul. Honestly, I couldn’t wait to finish reading it, just to get through it. Better recommended for a younger 20’s something Christian reader. I received this book complimentary from BookLook Bloggers in exchange...

Deva Curl's new products for "curly girls"

Image
I'm talking about the "Decadence" line from Deva Curl. It's created for girls,like me, with super curly, kinky hair. Now I've tried other Deva Curl product in the past, and they just didn't perform that well for me. I got these complimentary samples from Deva Curl to try. They included: The new No-Poo Decadence cleanse and condition The new One Condition Decadence Ultra Moisturizing Milk Conditioner The new Super cream Coconut curl styler Overall, the cleanser and conditioner are made with quinoa protein and chufa milk providing maximum moisture to the hair. The coconut styler has coconut oil,(of course), jojoba protein, and corn starch (for touchable hold and frizz control). All Deva Curl products are sulfate, paraben and silicone free. My experience: The cleanser definitely lives up to my expectations. It's a thick, rich, cream, with lots of slip, good coverage, great moisture. Upon rinsing it out, I really thought that was all that I wou...

Midori Spring Matcha green tea~ product review

Image
This product was sent to me by the manufacturer for review and my honest opinion. The Midori Spring Matcha green tea powder is certified organic, premium, top grade ceremonial gold class green tea. It is said to have many health benefits, such as: "reducing stress and improving mental alertness, improving metabolism and helping with weight loss, boosting the immune system and helping to reduce inflammation and to cleanse the body of impurities". The tea gets its bright green color from the actual tea leaves that are ground into a fine powder. Instructions for preparation say to use 1/2 teaspoon powder with 2 oz of water at 162-169 degrees F. Then you are to whisk it until it gets a foamy top, and then drink immediately. You can what a video showing preparation and education here . What did I think? It tastes like drinking seaweed. It must be an acquired taste. Don't get me wrong, I like all kinds of teas. I found this green tea to be so strong in taste, I actually...
