Canine Angels

Friday, March 8, 2013
Have you heard of Canine Angels? If not, check out their website. http://www.canineangelsservicedogs.org/


Saving dogs to serve disabled veterans
Every year, at least 3 million animals are put to death in shelters. And every day, 18 American military heroes take their own lives. These nightmares aren’t going away.
Until they do, Canine Angels’ mission is to rescue dogs from shelters and prepare them to serve disabled veterans and first responders.
Rick Kaplan, our nonprofit’s founder and president, has been training working service dogs for the people with disabilities for more than 20 years. He has trained dogs to assist those with hearing disabilities, seizures and PTSD, as well as stability andmobility issues. Working with his two personal chocolate Labrador service dogs, Fred & Ginger, Rick perfected his unique method of modifying canine behavior to connect with their natural instincts and achieve breakthrough training results in the least possible time. His deep appreciation for veterans and the sacrifices they’ve made for our safety andfreedom led to the founding in 2011 of Canine Angels, nonprofit public-benefit corporation.


Canine Angels’ mission has three primary goals:

  • To rescue dogs that have been discarded by their
    owners and sentenced to overcrowded shelters.
  • To socialize and train the companion animals to serve
    disabled American veterans and first responders to help
    them regain meaningful civilian lives.
  • To educate the public about the Americans With Disabilities
    Act, so that legitimate service dog teams will never encounter the humiliation of being turned away from public venues, where federal law protects their access rights.
Just recently have I become a part of helping with this program...  I first heard of them when they were in my neighbor with a veteran.. I was super happy to see a large number of service dogs in my neighbor hood, which gave me a chance to use my new camera.. I took tons of shoots and ever since I have been evolved with this group. Just recently I foster one of there service dog in training for about a week. It was a BLAST!

I look forward to keeping your guys updated on this group and will be giving you all some wonderful photos of my journey with this group and random photos :D
Just part of the pack that was there!... So well behaved!

Theology 101 In Bite-Size Pieces ~ Book Review

Saturday, February 16, 2013

Theology 101 in Bite-Size Pieces: A Bird's Eye View of the Riches of Divine Grace

By Judy Azar LeBlanc (Author)

The word theology tends to lead people to think that it is only meant for seminarian scholars; however, the word speaks for itself by the sole definition meaning "the study of God's Word." This book takes a fresh look at God's Power, Character, Love, Nature, and what the finished work of Christ meant to the world in bite size portions. It offers scripturally based truths of some of the riches of His Divine Grace that include answers to thought provoking questions such as what is predestination; who are the chosen; the called, and the elect. The author uses everyday language to explain what it means to be justified, reconciled, forgiven, and offers a clear explanation of why practicing merited grace contradicts Christ's finished work on the cross.

This book will be excellent for a new Christian or someone just learning about Theology. For the most part I knew everything that the author talked about, but it did clear up some of the questions I had, but not really brought any questions to my brain. I liked that they included many verses in this book to the bible, but the only thing I did not like was that they refers to others books. This is something I don't like, but there were not that many, just a few here and there. Over all, this book would be perfect to new Christians or students.

Glade Expressions

Monday, February 4, 2013
I love having a clean, fresh smelling home. When I was chosen to be apart of this BzzAgent campaign I was very excited. We were sent coupons to try the new Glade Expressions Collection, the spray and oil diffuser. I used the coupons given to me by BzzAgent, I purchased the Oil Diffuser (in the Fuji apple & Cardamon scent). As soon as I arrived home, I open them up and set them to work! The overall design of it is very nice, and the scents compliments each other. Both the spray and diffuser smell is just right, not over the top but enough to notice. The spray lasts for some time and the oil diffuser says it will last for 30 days, not having it that one I do not know for sure if it will last, but the smell in my bedroom (Where I am using them) smells wonderful! These are both great products and I will buy them in the future. *Disclaimer: I received a full sized sample of these products in exchange for honest my review of the product.

The Trouble with Cowboys ~ Book Review

Friday, September 28, 2012
The Trouble with Cowboys
(Big Sky Romance, Bk. 3)
by Denise Hunter
Copyright 2012
Thomas Nelson Publishers
ISBN: 9781595548030
About the Book:
Only one pair of boots—and the cowboy wearing them—can get Annie out of the mess she’s in. 

Annie Wilkerson is Moose Creek’s premiere horse trainer and equine columnist for Montana Living. Money is tight as she tries to put her kid-sister through college and provide for her young nephew. When Annie’s column is cancelled, she’s given first shot at a new lovelorn column—and she can’t afford to turn it down. Only problem is . . . Annie’s never been in love.

Always resourceful, she reluctantly strikes a deal with the town’s smooth-talking ladies’ man Dylan Taylor: She’ll work with his ailing horse, Braveheart, if he’ll help her answer the reader letters. 

Working closely with Dylan is harder than Annie imagined, and she quickly realizes she may have misjudged him. But her unwavering conviction that cowboys are nothing but trouble has kept her heart safe for years. And she can’t risk getting hurt now. The more Annie tries to control things, the more they fall apart. Her feelings are spinning out of control, and her sister’s antics are making life increasingly more difficult. Annie knows she needs to turn the reins over to God, but surrender has never come easily.

When Dylan reveals his feelings for her, Annie doesn’t know what to trust—her head or her heart. The trouble with this cowboy is that he might just be exactly what she needs.


Meet Denise:
Denise lives in Indiana with her husband Kevin and their three sons. In 1996, Denise began her first book, a Christian romance novel, writing while her children napped. Two years later it was published, and she’s been writing ever since. Her books often contain a strong romantic element, and her husband Kevin says he provides all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too!

~ Head on over and say howdy to Denise on HER WEBSITE. ~

 The Trouble with Cowboys is a great love story that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to modern day western romance fans. Denise Hunter's Big Sky Romance series has been one of my favorite contemporary romance series' and I'm sad to see it go but The Trouble with Cowboys is a fitting end. Each book can be read as a stand alone but the entire series is worth a try!

From the panelists' selections, you'll choose the 8 products you want to receive and always pay only $49.99.
Our Amazing Products
Every season we offer a wide array of new and exciting products for you to try - and they're all backed by our panel of experts. What's more, you'll never see any foil packettes, only deluxe size and full size items. 




It's the product that keeps on giving! ARCONA Cranberry Toner exceeded our expectations, as it removed makeup, dirt and oil, leaving our skin squeaky clean and noticeably glowing. With a promise to tone, cleanse and hydrate, it did just that as its formula of cranberry, rice milk, omegas and antioxidants gave our skin a youthful radiance and a supple feel.



Silky, smooth and lightly tinted, Murad Hybrid Eye Lift Perfector and Hybrid Primer Perfector Matte hid our most embarrassing facial flaws in an instant and we absolutely loved it! We watched in awe as the super-soft primer slid across our face to disguise discoloration, blemishes and darkness with ease and created a perfect canvas for foundation. Next, we nixed puffiness, dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles around our eyes with the Eye Lift Perfector. What we were left with was a smooth, even, glowing complexion that made us look well-rested and years younger.


Lovely, plump lips are available to all, thanks to Jane Iredale Just Kissed. We loved how full our lips became within seconds of applying this effective lipstick. It smoothed fine lines on and around our lips, while leaving our breath fresh with its cool mint and ginger formula. Another plus was its chic, slim case, which fit perfectly inside our clutches, makeup bags and pockets. 


If our nails could smile, they would flash their big pearly whites after we used the Nailtiques Nail Moisturizer and Formula Kit. It drastically improved the overall condition of our nails and cuticles by conditioning and strengthening our weak, brittle, dry, splitting nails. We especially loved the smooth, non-greasy feel of the nail moisturizer, which conditioned our nails and cuticles with collagen, jojoba and aloe. After only a few applications, our nails were stronger, shinier and healthier.


It was easy to fake the appearance of flawless, poreless, shine-free skin with Becca Cosmetics Resurfacing Primer. Its velvet-like, matte formula went on smoothly and instantly absorbed excess oil and filled in our large pores. And as if that wasn't enough, it also turned back time by smoothing out those fine expression lines that try to give away our ages. 


If you are like us, you've experimented and fawned over all the great nail trends this season, which left our nails weakened and dry. Nailtiques Nail Protein and Color Lacquer couldn't have come at a better time! We consistently used Formula 2 and we were so happy to see our nails regaining strength and looking healthier than ever. When our nails were up to it, we swept on the lacquer, giving us glimmer of glam once again.


Summer all-year-round would be ideal for keeping our healthy, sun-kissed glow, however cooler months don't bother us as much, especially with Raw Natural Beauty Mineral Glow on hand. We found that with a few sweeps across our cheek bones, temples and nose we had that instant naturally illuminated appearance. The bronzed mineral pigments also offer anti-aging properties so we can prevent future wrinkles and obtain a smooth texture with each application.


Celebrity makeup artist Shalini Vadhera has always been fascinated by the beauty secrets of women from different cultures around the world. So fascinated, in fact, that she wrote a best selling book Passport to Beauty and created Global Goddess Beauty -- a line of cosmetics inspired by international beauty techniques that features exotic ingredients. Developed with your inner seductress in mind, i-Divine Eyeshadows are formulated with highly pigmented color in a velvety texture that glides over lids effortlessly. All of the shadows are infused with powerful antioxidants from white tea, which means you get a satiny eye shadow that does double duty, working tirelessly to reverse the effects of aging free radicals.



This stylish makeup bag comes with a mirror conveniently tucked into a hidden side pocket, so you'll never have to retouch your makeup without a mirror again. The black geometric pattern lends elegance to the sturdy dark-grey microfiber fabric, and the nylon silver lining is easy to wipe clean. Zipper closure.
Size: 7'' x 3''
