I received an ebook called Optimal Exposure for free in exchange for an honest review that I really enjoyed. This book is written by Dan Rogel, which I found to be an interesting fellow. He is a senior scientist who worked for the Israeli Defense industry and also has traveled around the world as a photographer. This book is a murder mystery and is based on many of the author's experiences in life and where he has been. I love learning about different cultures and countries, so this book caught my attention right off. You will find yourself immersed in Kombabela at an Indian Festival that I had never heard of, but now am very curious to see it taking place. The author starts with an introduction about how he writes his books, which drew me in immediately because I felt like I got to know him and relate to what he was writing. I also really enjoy reading murder mystery "who dunnits" stories, and thought it was very well written and captivating. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the style that the story was written in, but warmed up to it within a chapter or two. I also found it a little difficult to pronounce the names of characters and places because I am not very familiar with Israeli culture. It would have been great if the author could have written up a page with pronunciations. Finally got comfortable though with my own way of pronouncing them. The storyline caught my attention right off and I immediately tried to start putting clues together and making guesses at who do it, but I wasn't able to figure it out until the end, which means that it was very well thought out. You will meet a whole team of photographers who work together and go on expeditions, but when something happens to two of their members, an investigation begins. Don't want to say too much more, or I may give it away! It is a pleasurable read and would recommend this book to anyone who likes to solve a mystery. You can sit down and read through it easily and find out at the end what happens, or you can really dive deep into the clues and try to solve the problem yourself. Enjoyed it a lot! #OptimalExposure

Aulker S20 Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker Review

I received the Aulker S20 Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker for free inexchange for an honest review. #Aposon Really like this speaker. Hubby stole it from me because he liked it even more. lol ;) Great sound quality and it gets very loud for large areas. Instructions are pretty clear to help figure the speaker out. There is a flexible handle for you to hold on to or hang it on something. The body feels heavy duty and it isn't supposed to break when dropped. It accidentally fell out of my hands maybe three feet from the rug floor and it still played fine afterwards. It comes with an audio cable to hook into your phone, tablet, computer, or Ipod. There is also a USB charging cable that works fine. It will connect to a car charger too. There is a power button on the top that you can turn device on or off and if you hold it down, a FM radio comes on! Will automatically look for stations for you and they come in very clear. Even in the basement. There was also quite a collection. You can also turn on bluetooth on any of your devices and the speaker will talk to you saying that it connected to bluetooth and you may now use it. It has a lady voice. We tried youtube music with it and came through just fine. I would give this a 5 star. Just don't know how long it will last for. Love the blue color! Husbands favorite color. Looks like you can connect a small tripod on the bottom, but I didn't try that yet. Oh and it is supposed to be waterproof , so will be taking it to the beach, but don't want to try putting it in water just in case.

Easy@Home 20 Pregnancy (HCG) Urine Test Strips Kit - 20 HCG Tests Review

So I received the Easy@Home 20 Pregnancy (HCG) Urine Test Strips Kit for free in exchange for an honest review. This kit includes 20 pregnancy strips, so that you don't run out for quite a while.  The strips are not in a plastic case, so you do need to have a clean cup on hand to place strip in urine and see results.  These strips show whether there is a positive or negative level of HCG. If HCG is present, it will show two lines and means you are pregnant. So one extra step, but more environmentally friendly and you get more strips than if you buy with the plastic cases.  These strips are accurate and easy to read and are individually wrapped for storage.  Instructions are quick and easy to read through and show pictures of how to read results. I would recommend these for accuracy and if you don't mind the extra step of placing in a cup. Love that there are 20 strips. #EZHome_HCG_20P
