Book Review - Mind Dimensions Omnibus

*I received a free copy of this product in exchange for my honest opinion.* Let's start with some background on the books shall we?
-----------------------
Mind Dimensions Omnibus Author - Dima Zales All 5 books in the popular Mind Dimensions series from a New York Times bestselling author, available for the first time in one convenient, discounted omnibus edition. Over 1500 pages of thrilling action, adventure, and unique mind powers.

The Thought Readers (Mind Dimensions Book 1) 
Darren's had it easy his whole life. Finishing Harvard at eighteen, a lucrative job on Wall Street at twenty-one—all things are possible when you can cheat by stepping outside time. Thanks to his ability, he's a know-it-all, but what he doesn't know is how he's able to do what he does. That is, until he meets Mira and discovers her dangerous, hidden world.

The Time Stopper (A Mind Dimensions Story Prequel) 
Mira can stop time, but she can't change anything. After her parents are murdered, she'll do anything to get revenge—even take on the Russian mob.

The Thought Pushers (Mind Dimensions Book 2) 
Darren’s life turned upside down when he met Mira. Now, as he races to uncover his own identity, he confronts new enemies—and realizes his unique powers might extend further than he ever imagined.

The Enlightened (Mind Dimensions Book 3) 
Kidnapped, consciousness expanded—and that’s just the start of Darren’s day. As a new danger comes to light, he has one chance to save a loved one’s life and avenge the wrongs of decades past. Some crimes can never be forgiven.

The Elders (Mind Dimensions Book 4) 
Darren’s new powers are unpredictable, but they’re precisely what he needs to save everyone he loves. The Elders can teach him what he needs to know, but their help comes at a price. Ultimately, Darren has to make a choice. What is he willing to sacrifice for those he loves? 
-----------------------

 All in all I would say that this series is a nice, easy weekend read. Great for the beach or a short road trip. There is nothing new or surprising as far as being able to stop time goes, no "new science" so to speak. That doesn't make it a bad story though! I felt very comfortable in the world that Zales created for us. I really enjoyed being able to just hop from one book right into the next one without having to stop and order the next one in the series. I was satisfied with the character development as well as the story arch but it is not a heavy complicated read like say Game of Thrones. I would reccomend this book for anyone who enjoys series books as well as light Scifi Lit and is looking for an easy read. You can purchase the E-Book on Amazon.

Rodan + Fields Skincare: Review and Giveaway!

First of all, let me say that I am not big into skin care. I know I should be since I'm in my 30s and all but I'm not. I have my normal routine of moisturizer and eye cream and I have some serum or something I use before that but I am lucky if I remember to do this once a week let alone every night. Admit it, there are quite a few of you out there who are just like me. You CARE about your skin but you just don't make it a priorty. Maybe it's starting to feel worn, maybe it's lost that dewy glow from your youth... whatever it is, you're noticing the change and you want it to stop.
A friend of mine offered to let me try a mini facial from Rodan + Fields. At fist I was totally skeptical and I honestly tucked it in my bathroom cabinet and forgot about it. Then she asked if I wanted to do a giveaway on my blog and as you all know, I don't give away or review products that I haven't tried myself. The thing is though, I didn't want to deprive YOU guys the chance to try it for yourselves so this week I set time aside to do it.

WOW. First of all, I didn't NEED to set time aside. It's super quick and easy. The Micro Dermabrasion paste was LIFE CHANGING. I cannot for the life of me remember when my face last felt this soft. I had a professional facial done by the people at Dior a few years ago and while it was awesome, it was not as drastic as this was. It felt great and it smells amazing. I used the lip serum and the face serum afterwards as instructed and oh my gosh!! You guys are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. It's crazy because like I said, I was skeptical and figured my review would be more, "It's nice, you should try it and decide for yourself" but instead my review is WOW WOW WOW TRY THIS NOW!!! LIFE CHANGING!!!!!!

SO! How do you get to try a minifacial of your own?? It's simple:
Win one of 5 mini facial sets from Rodan + Fields skincare. 
This amazing skincare line was developed by the same dermatologists that created ProActive!

Winners will be announced on October 1st!

To make this even better, MB is giving my readers their choice of free make-up wipes, spf body cream or sunless tanning foam with an $80+ preferred customer purchase when you mention From Lazy to Lady!

Just incase you're feeling insecure about some of the questions, my biggest facial skin scare concern is blackheads and giant pores of doom. Just one use of the micro dermabrassion paste and I had noticiably less blackheads which made my pores look smaller too.

Good Luck! Comment to let me know you entered!

Product Review/Coupon: Printable Halloween Games

I was given the opportunity to review this set of Printable Halloween games. 
It's a great website that allows you the convenience of being able to just print these party games from your own computer. There are games for children, teens, and adults included in the pack so it's great for everyone.

 I really enjoyed the Halloween Newlywed Game as well as the Pumpkin Decorating Frenzy. I love the fact that games for all ages are included so that if you host a Halloween party you have all of your bases covered. The kids can be in one area playing these games and decorating their pumpkins while the adults are in another room playing their own games. 


It's a lot of fun and worth the $19.99 but if you click HERE you'll receive $5 off your purchase and get FREE Halloween Coloring Pages just for being a reader of my blog.

Product Review/Giveaway: Wholesale Keychains Pink Digital Photo Keychain

I was so excited when I learned that WholeSaleKeychain.com was sending me a Pink Digital Photo Keychain to review.

I have wanted a digital photo keychain forever but could never justify spending the money. I have given many to friends and family as gifts over the years and was always a bit jealous when I'd see someone who had one.

This keychain retails for $9.99 and you can have it engraved for an additional $5.99 which really makes for a nice gift.

Let me tell you a little bit about the keychain's specifications before I get into my review.

Main features:

• 1.5 inch 128x128 LCD display;
• 4.8 MB internal memory which can store about 72 pictures;
• Auto / manual picture slide show, slide time adjustable.
• Manual switch between picture and time display
• Time display including date, week, hours, minutes and seconds.
• Time manual adjustable or sync with computer via software.
• Picture format: JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF;
• Picture size automatically cut by software.
• Input / output picture via photo View software which contains in the attached CD
• Built-in rechargeable battery
• Charged / data downloaded via 5 pins USB cable
• Dimension: 5.5x4.1x1.2cm
• Weight: 85g

Package contents:

• 1 x Photo Frame with key ring;
• 1 x USB cable 

Okay, so now that you know how much it is, where to find it, and what it is/does let me tell you what I think of it. 

First of all, I was a bit disappointed in the overall appearance of the keychain. The pink plastic looks and feels a bit cheap to me and I'm not a fan of the square display on the rectangle body. With that said, the plastic has withheld being tossed around in my bag, being dropped on the sidewalk, and actually survived me accidentally stepping on it. This has outweighed my dislike for the appearance because being sturdy enough to survive my life is more important than being shiny and looking expensive.

The keychain was fairly easy to use and load photos onto. I say fairly easy because for some reason it would not allow me to access all of my photo folders from the menu but it was super simple to add photos from the folders I could access. I'm sure if I played around with it a bit more I could have figured out how to access the other photos but honestly, it was a bit of a hassle and I just couldn't bother. Will I do it in the future? Definitely! It just wasn't in the cards these past few weeks. The menu on the keychain and the buttons are super simple to use and figure out without the need to read the instructions which are provided and are also easy to follow. I actually think that my mom would be able to figure this out, and she's not very tech savy so that says something.

Now, the picture quality did not impress me. I wasn't disappointed or upset with it, but it didn't blow me away. The sample photos that come preloaded on the keychain look AMAZING. So there is definitely the possibility for photos to look great. Mine however, did not. I uploaded different file sizes from high resolution wedding photos to camera phone photos just to get an idea of image quality. They all looked the same to me.

Bottom line: Would I recommend buying this product? Yes! It's great to have on my keys to show people pictures of my puppy and kitties and all the other silly things I take photos of.
Would I give it as a gift? Maybe, but only if it were for one of my nieces or my nephew. They would probably love it and for the price it would make a nice little stocking stuffer or "extra" gift to top a birthday or holiday present with.
