The List: Shout Out Your Dreams! Review



MarksvilleandMe reviews The List: Shout Out Your Dreams
written by 
Yuval (UV) Abramovitz

Our family has always been known as a family that carries on no matter what is thrown at us. Of course we give that credit to God, he has made us adaptive to what comes our way. I am very optimistic while my husband is more pessimistic so together we make a great couple that helps each other through all sorts of things that come our way. 

We have lived through being homeless with 5 children while I was pregnant with my 6th child. We paid our rent, sadly our landlords didn't pay the mortgage so one day the Sheriff and bank show up and tell us we are being evicted. Not something we planned at all. 

We smiled, kept our children busy while being homeless until almost 3 months later when we were finally able to move into another home big enough for our family, and a home where our family has had much growth. Yes we had our low times, we all do, but it doesn't take long for us to pick ourselves up and move forward. 

I have always been a list maker always making lists of things I want, need, want to give, etc. It wasn't until I was older that I found out I was making lists about my future planning so to speak, but as I grew older, becoming a wife, mother, and contributor to our families lively hood, I realized I wanted more for our family. I have read several book but The List: Shout Out Your Dreams! is the only one that has you make lists and then shout out what you want. 

Besides the shouting I was pretty much onto this way of thinking since the first time I ever made a list but this book really brought it front and center for me. I have even been telling my husband about being more into making our dreams come true. He needs to believe they will happen instead of just saying he will never have so and so, that we both as a couple need to decide what we want for our family so that it will happen. 

Slowly over the last year we have seen big changes, but we are still a work in progress. Thanks to The List: Shout Out Your Dreams! we have even more reason to move forward. 

You can purchase The List: Shout Out Your Dreams! on Amazon.

Women’s Confidence Panties by Hush Hush Review



Everyone wants it to be a secret but even in hushed tones many people deal with leaks in their daily lives. Now you can buy with confidence undergarments that don't look like a pad or adult incontinent pants that are made from plastic. 

I like the thought of wearing regular looking underwear with built in protection. Great for leaks from both urine, blood, and other little mishaps that might happen. I just personally went through having pneumonia and every time a coughing fit came along I had leaks, but thankfully I have a pair of Hush Hush Women's Confidence Panties, they were much needed while battling being ill. 

What I like best about Hush Hush Women's Confidence Panties is that they aren't thrown away to fill up a landfill they are washable and reusable. Don't keep this quite if you know someone who battles with bladder leakage please direct them to the comfort they deserve. 

Be one of the first 2000 to take this survey and get a free pair.

It’s the Hush Hush Free Panty Program and here’s how it works:
- Open to women 18 or older in the continental U.S.
- All interested women need to do is complete a short survey – it’ll take two minutes or less!

Bonapiel Vitamin C Facial Serum Review


MarksvilleandMe reviews Bonapiel Vitamin C Facial Serum

Bonapiel Vitamin C Facial Serum is for sensitive skin so if you have had problems with other Serum's this might be right for you. Bonapiel Vitamin C Facial Serum replenishes your skin's Vitamin C levels, so it will help give you a more youthful appearance. 

This is a small pump type bottle, where a little goes a long way. I find with Serums you only need to use a small amount. When I used this I found that I felt a gently tightening of the skin which I would guess gives us the firmer skin tone we want as we age. I haven't used it long enough to see if the benefits are long lasting or if they stop when you cease using the Serum, but I have seen a difference in my skin while wearing it. I only use this once a day in the morning.

You can buy Bonapiel Vitamin C Facial Serum on Amazon.

What Bonapiel has to say about their product

Replenish your skin's Vitamin C levels to enjoy the skin you always wanted:
- Improves the skin's natural firmness and hydration.
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Boosts collagen production for a youthful appearance
- Provides complementary skin-beautifying effects by protecting against damage from UV light and free radicals.
Specially formulated to not break out your skin. Bonapiel's Vitamin C Facial Serum blends all four of these gentle but POWERFUL natural ingredients for a firmer, more glowing skin: 
- 18% of Vitamin C
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Moisturizing Exotic Jojoba Oil
- L-Arginine

CanYouHandlebar Dry Beard Oil Conditioner Review



MarksvilleandMe reviews 
CanYouHandlebar Dry Beard Oil Conditioner

I had to call my husband in on this one since I don't have a beard or mustache to review with. The Can You Handle Bar Dry Beard Oil comes in three scents classic scent, initiative, and wisdom. My husband was able to try out the Wisdom scent. 

This is the first time he has ever used anything on his beard other then soap, shampoo, or water. What a difference it has made. He has always shaved his beard because of the dry skin at the base of his beard which has caused what we call beard dandruff. The Can You Handle Bar Dry Beard Oil has changed all that and made his beard that much enjoyable for both him and myself.

I was the girl who said I would never be with a man with body or facial hair, guess I was way off. Twenty Four plus years later we are together, happily married with 6 children and 2 grand daughters. Love doesn't care about facial hair.

 What CanYouHandlebar has to say about their product 

Beard Dry Oil (“DO”) is a premium hand-crafted beard oil, with a twist. Like all beard oils, DO provides the oils that hairs crave, producing a healthy shine that makes beards and goatees look great. The product is called a “dry” oil because we add just enough beeswax to make the oil solid at room temperature. "DO" not only stands for “Dry Oil”, but also reminds us to do the things we know we should do. Do not procrastinate. Do honorable things. Do things our dads would be proud of. As the ancient proverb goes, “do what is right and come what may.” Isn’t that a good thought to have in the morning? I think so. 

This oil is built around the warm scent of fresh cut spruce and cedar. It is warm and fresh but definitely masculine. It will remind you of sitting by a fire with a cup of coffee and letting your mind wander.

Like all beard oils, it will make your beard or goatee look awesome, by restoring the oils it should have had all along. I use it from the sideburns area all the way down to my chin. It softens the hairs a little. DO will make your facial hair look better by adding a very light gloss, while feeling softer and keeping your beard healthy and strong.

The base oil was designed to help your beard look great and maintain its health. The aroma is made of high quality essential with no cheap fillers. The attention to detail extends to the labeling. Knowing that your beard oil will likely be stored in your bathroom where water and small amounts of oil will get onto the label, we spent a little extra and used water- and oil-proof labels! Your oil will look as good from the day it arrives until you've used the last drop!
