Tips for other Diamond Art Beginners

1. MAKE SURE TO USE ONE COLOR AT A TIME AND USE THE SMALL BAGGIES TO COLLECT THE REMAINING DIAMONDS 
   (THEY ARE SUPER SMALL AND VERY EASY TO LOSE!)
   
   
2. Label Each Bag with the Specific Color 
   (As some colors may be very similar)

Introducing ourselves to y'all lovely people!!

Between Us Country Girls

• HEY YA'LL!!!!! Whether it's fishing, having a few beers, relaxing or chasing after the kids we chat about everything in between we will discuss it.
• 
  
• My name is Ashley, I'm 30 years old, I was born in southern Maryland and lived there for about 4 years before moving to eastern kentucky to take care of my grandfather before his passing. 
• So while I don't sound redneck, i most certainly identify as redneck. I was hotheaded in much of my youth and only time and stressing myself out has finally calmed me down over the years. 
• When I graduated from Belfry High School back in 2007 I was so excited to leave this region of the world I couldn't stand myself. I moved to Lexington where I had spent most of my childhood going back and forth to University of Kentucky hospital for my fathers liver transplant.
• I was only 9 years old when he received his liver transplant but somehow I knew he'd be just fine. 
• The transplant allowed my parents to give me a baby sister(although doctors swore he'd never conceive again) and added 12 more years to my fathers life. He eventually passed away at the age of 54 in 2009. While he didn't get to enjoy many long years on earth he most certainly lived enough for a billion people. My father was and still is my first idea of what a man/father is suppose to be for any little girl. 
• I got my feelings hurt a WHOLE lot… for my own good though.. 
• my father knew instinctively without seeing the future that I would need to be tough as nails. So he rough housed me constantly… it was completely normal to walk into our loving home and see me and my father throwing small objects at each other to see who would chicken out first. When we would take our trips in the family van our time would  pass while we made up or changed lyrics to songs, make up our own or make a song that made no sense whatsoever. 
• These days my father lets me know he's still VERY much with me by using my psychic clairsenses and intuition to feel his Spirit, much like I feel the Holy Spirit chill me from head to toe. /

You know the feeling… the feeling someone just "walked through you" and sent chills up and down your body, I enjoy communicating with Spirit so it doesn't scare me anymore. But when I was a little girl, I saw something that changed me FOREVER. 

After my grandfather passed in 1995 a little time had passed and one night I have this strange dream unlike any I'd ever had before that a thick black smoke comes in my room and takes my doll my grandpa had bought me (my FAVORITE doll of all) The smoke takes Christy doll down under the bed and I am to know that Christy has now gone to Hell… for whatever reason lol

I wake up and I immediately try to get out of bed… I can't I'm paralyzed stuck  to the bed. I can open my mouth but no words will come out… 

The next thing that happens made me believe in miracles… 

Coming from the living room a figure of a woman that resembled my grandmother who had passed away when i was only TWO years old comes and stands and my doorway. She says NOTHING to me… but she does transfer a feeling of complete peace and calm. All of a sudden I internally acknowledge that I'm okay and the woman walks the opposite way. I jump out of bed delusional that this woman was my mother only to find that my parents bedroom was locked and when i unlocked the door both of my parents are sound asleep, dead to the world. It was at that moment standing at the end of their bed that it hit me… That was my grandmothers Spirit letting me know she's with me. Only problem is somehow after i realized that… I denied that it even happened… Because it didn't make sense to me that someone could "come back from the dead" She wasn't a zombie though… she was better, younger, and free of all illness and suffering. It scared me because I couldn't make sense of it. So bad in fact, that I prayed to God that I never seen anything like that again in my life…. Have any of you all had paranormal experiences before?! What happened? Howe did it make you feel? and more importantly, do you still feel or see Spirit around you today like I do?1

MuscleCare Review

FINALLY! An all-natural topical treatment that works for me!

Muscle pain has been troublesome for me ever since I was a child. The typical charlie horses and a ton of growing pains resulted in many restless nights. Throughout the years, those issues have only intensified. It seems that I can strain a muscle so easily now. I even do it during my sleep! :(

This product has been excellent! I was given the chance to review it for free through Tomoson. The first thing I noticed, was the smell, of course. Okay, so it does have a really strong smell but I promise, it's worth it!

I can feel this product penetrating DEEP into my muscles, instantly upon application. Bye bye charlie and hello sleep! I was very satisfied and will continue using it because #MuscleCareWorks ! 

 I highly recommend using this stuff for all your joint and muscle pain.

PetGroomer Deshedding & Pet Grooming Tool

This tool is a nice one! Very sturdy and high quality design, were my first thoughts.I love their guarantee too! 

"UN-BREAKABLE GUARANTEE!- THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND. If You Break It We REFUND It. Its As Simple As That!"

Next, I like that the stainless steel comb is covered, which should help keep the teeth from becoming damaged when stored, for quite some time.

My Roxy didn't resist the combing LOL not even one bit.! (She has always disliked  all of the battery powered deshedders that I've tried) Actually, she seemed to enjoy this one a lot! 

I spent about 20 minutes on the first session. I was shocked at how much loose hair that there was on my girl. It's no wonder that I couldn't keep it completely swept up! I'm glad that there is a push button for easy comb cleaning :) I have been using this everyday now. It's not necessary because there isn't much loose hair anymore... but, hey, my baby girl loves the TLC! 

I love #dogs

Argan + Coconut + Jojoba Oil Hair Treatment + Elixir Review

My hair is full of life and shine once again, thanks to this miracle in a bottle. I have been using this Argan Oil daily before straightening my hair and a few times each week as a leave in conditioner. The results have been phenomenal for both! I smooth the oil lightly through my hair with a comb before applying heat from my hair dryer and straightening iron. This stuff makes my hair shine all day long and it's a very noticeable change from the dull, heat damaged hair that I normally have. OH, and  I love the compliments that I am getting as well :)

As for the leave in conditioning quality, FABULOUS! My hair feels healthier all the way to the ends and there is way less breakage than before. Insta Naturals has done it again with this oil. It is definitely a keeper in my book!

Facial Lift and Firm Serum with Dead Sea Minerals and Vitamin C Review

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP5ae4b1e2fb2b7076a92f7d85fd0c9cae" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

I was given the chance to review this product for free. I started using it with hopes of diminishing fine lines around my mouth and wrinkles at the corners of my eyes. To be honest, the actual "lift" part wasn't something that had appealed to me at the time. However, I will now say WOW... the lifting feeling was the very first thing that I noticed. Almost like a complete facial in a bottle! The" lifting" is an instant tightening feeling that just feels so nice. Those lines and wrinkles that used to bother me so much are now, barely noticeable :) I also love that this contains Dead Sea Minerals. My experience with previous Dead Sea products has been top rank thus far and this product... only adds to that. I love this #serum

I enjoy using this Dead Sea Salt Soap from Adovia. For years I've had very dry skin and finding ways to help hydrate it has been a challenge to say the least. Regular bar soap and expensive beauty bars only  helped my skin issues very little and sometimes, not at all! Many dollars have been wasted trying to hydrate my skin. I'm glad to have gotten the chance to give this soap a try. It is well worth every penny of it's price. My skin is starting to feel and look amazing since using this soap. It smells nice and rinses away clean too. I've also been using it as a morning scrub moisturizer for my face and it is proving to be very beneficial in that way as well. Thanks again, Adovia for another great product! #saltsoap.

Life is GREAT with Coppertone Clearly Sheer sunscreens

I am so glad to have been chosen by BzzAgent to review this sunscreen. My skin appears nourished and feels super soft since I've been using it. The Clearly Sheer body lotion is just that, SHEER :) It honestly feels smooth like silk and blends in to the skin well enough to wear my makeup on top of it. That's a rare find, right there! My kids used the mini- spray sunscreens while swimming and fishing. They commented on how nice it smelled and found it wasn't necessary to reapply as we normally would with other brands. Thank you @Coppertone #GotItFree

Sweet Baby Ray's = YUM!

No more thin or sour for me! Sweet Baby Ray's is a huge hit around here. The flavor is delicious! I love that it's thick and the consistency doesn't break down while cooking.  My family uses it practically everyday in some form. Great for both, cooking and dipping. I'd rate this BBQ Sauce an A+

Premium 6ft Universal Power Cord

I'm the world's worst for losing things. Especially cords! Well, during a recent move I had misplaced an entire box of bolts, screws and cords. I received a 2-pack of these cords as part of a promotion and they are just perfect as replacements. I used one for my pc monitor and the other for my scanner. The 6ft length is a very nice bonus as well. It allows me to the option of rearranging my desktop items in various ways. These cords are not flimsy in the least. They are very thick and sturdy yet still bendable. I love the quality and would highly recommend them if you are searching for cords :)

Insta Natural Youth Express Eye Gel

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. <a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOPb11d04c357453b62431a9e378a614d24" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

I have dealt with dark circles beneath my eyes for many years. My sleep patterns have never been regular due to Insomnia. I've tried everything from expensive repair products to cosmetic concealers without success. Ultimately, I found it easier to just pack on a few coats of makeup. Even still, the dark circles and bags were noticeable. Often times, I felt embarrassed because the darkness resembled bruising and it seemed as if people were staring with bizarre thoughts in their minds. Sunglasses became a must have accessory to my wardrobe throughout all seasons. 

I love this product! I have been using this eye gel for quite some time now and it has given me amazing results! The dark circles beneath my eyes have faded tremendously. My eyes do not appear puffy either. I began to feel this gel working with the very first application. My skin became tight and just really felt great! Within a few days, I could already tell that those dark circles were fading. I have finally found the one product to tackle all of my cosmetic imperfections at once. Not to mention the fact that it's 75% Organic :) My skin feels tighter, looks healthier and my eyes are now radiantly beautiful. I owe many thanks to the makers of this gel. I am an Insta Natural fan for life!!!

I was given the privilege to try something from the Indalo Gallery collection and quickly decided upon this beautiful heart necklace.The first thing that caught my eye was the gorgeous red color, followed by the sterling silver beads that surrounded a very detailed, weaved heart. You see, I am a huge fan of hearts, so this was a must have piece! I couldn't hardly wait to have and wear this beauty. 

It arrived quickly after ordering. The box was gift wrapped with ribbon :) This was my package (pictured above) with such a sweet note from the Indalo Gallery :) BTW,  I love their customer service! I would rate an A+

The necklace was even more gorgeous than pictured. I wore it immediately! The compliments were endless and I absolutely love it! Check them out now by visiting  http://indalogallery.com/
