Being Kind
Hello everyone I have been chosen to write a blog about kindness. All of my life I have been kind to almost everyone, even when they are not kind in return. Why you may ask. Well I was brought up to be kind to everyone and try to see things from both sides of the coin. We don't walk in others shoes, we don't live the lives they live. We just don't always know what make people the way they are. So being kind is the right thing to do.
I have had people say I say I was trying to steal friends by being kind. I have always made friends easily which is something I get from my father and I am proud to have gotten from him. I love everyone even those who have harmed me or my family. I don't have to like what they did or even like their choices but I still love them no matter what.
So with this kindness post I wanted to talk about different ways I have been kind over the years. Our family has given to toy collections for Christmas gifts, we have given to shelters, food pantries, and local community helping organizations. We have taken in homeless people before, giving them a place to eat, sleep, and get back on their feet.
We have held doors open, shared coupons with those who had groceries in their cart that we had coupons that matched. We have randomly given money to families that we heard while shopping telling their children in tow that they couldn't get such and such because they didn't have enough money.
This is just a sampling of what we have done for others over the many years we have been together. When we fell on hard times we have even had others lend a hand to make things better for us. More often then not that help came from strangers, not family. People we may never see again. This is what Kindness is. An act of giving freely of yourself either with money, products, or time.
I firmly believe the more kindness that is shown towards other the more kindness you get in return.

MarksvilleandMe reviews Nancy Drew: Labyrinth of Lies
Nancy Drew: Labyrinth of Lies brought back memories of ready Nancy Drew as a child. I have never played any of the Nancy Drew games on a computer before so this was all new to me. I am still at amateur level but I am making slow progress. It took a while for me to figure out just what they wanted me to do.
There are mini games built into the larger game to keep you occupied while you mill things over so you can solve the case. Like the books the games keeps you playing so you can solve the case.
With Nancy Drew: Labyrinth of Lies you deal with cell phones which were never in the books growing up so this adds a whole other aspect to the game. They even through in the Hardy Boys to round the whole game out.
You can see a trailer for Nancy Drew: Labyrinth of Lies below

Kiva Organic Stevia Review
Kiva Organic Stevia is a multi-purpose tabletop sweetener made from Non-GMO stevia plants grown in the USA and is a perfect substitute for sugar and artificial sweeteners. Our organic stevia has zero-calories, no bitter aftertaste, and a low glycemic index, making it ideal for those managing calories and blood sugar.
We blend our high purity stevia extract with erythritol (e-ryth-ri-tol), a naturally-occurring sugar alcohol found in fruits and vegetables to create a delicious blend that's easy to serve. Enjoy!
Conversion: Sugar to Kiva Organic Stevia
1 Tsp (sugar) = 1/8 Tsp (Kiva Organic Stevia)
1 Tbsp (sugar) = 1/3 Tsp (Kiva Organic Stevia)
1/4 cup (sugar) = 1/2 Tbsp (Kiva Organic Stevia)
1/2 cup (sugar) = 1 Tbsp (Kiva Organic Stevia)
1 cup (sugar) = 2 Tbsp (Kiva Organic Stevia)
A little bit goes a long way!
About Kiva: At Kiva, we strive to provide you with innovative food from around the world that is great tasting, healthy and of the highest quality. We are committed to using only ingredients that are sourced directly from local farmers that practice sustainable and eco-friendly methods.
MarksvilleandMe reviews Kiva Organic Stevia
My husband loves when I get products he can try, and this is one of them. He drinks a lot of coffee but wants to drink it without taking in so much sugar, so he uses sugar substitute and recently changed over stevia.
This is the first time we have used an organic version. What we noticed right off the bat was how much sweeter it was then anything else we have used. Like most men my husband didn't read the directions and just put in what he does for our normal stevia brand but to his surprise it was way to sweet for his taste, so he had to keep adding coffee until it tasted right.
He had enough coffee for the whole day by the time he was done. Of course now he knows the conversion but even with that he finds he uses a lot less with Kiva Organic Stevia then he does with the other brands.
What I liked most is that it didn't have a bad aftertaste which means I can enjoy my food much more. Remember just a little goes along way.
You can purchase Kiva Organic Stevia on Amazon.

MarksvilleandMe reviews Adovia Anti Wrinkle Facial
Moisturizer Cream
My regular readers might remember me reviewing ADOVIA Moisturizing Day Cream earlier this year. You can find that review here. I have been looking forward to reviewing more of their products and here I have product number two the Adovia Anti Wrinkle Facial Moisturizer Cream.
First of all like the first product I reviewed for Adovia the smell is wonderful. The cream is a little bit more thicker as well. Not so thick that you have to rub and rub to get it on your face, just a bit more of circular motions like the box suggests until it is all absorbed into the skin, can be worn under makeup. For best results use once a day.
The Adovia line makes me feel like I have just been to a spa, that I am really treating myself as well as my skin to a stress free day of relaxation and pampering.
If you would like to purchase this for yourself you can do so on Amazon.
