Great set of 96 gel pens from US Art Supply!
I received these pens at no cost for this review. All opinions and views are strictly my own.
I love gel pens! One could say I have a bit of a gel pen addiction being that I own close to 500 of them. Sitting down with one of my many adult coloring books and a good set of gel pens is the perfect way for me to unwind or just occupy time when I am bored. I just put on some good music, pull out the pens and get lost in being creative.
I got this set of 96 Jewelscent Gel Pens from US Art Supply.
They actually are two set of 48 pens, not one set of 96 but they are still pretty nice. They come in a plastic box in 4 trays of 12 pens so they are easy to pull out and use and put away when I am done. The colors rang from classic black, blue, red, green, and yellow to neon, pastel and metallic. There are even 6 shades of what I call mix up colors. These are my personal favorites. They have several different colors of ink in one base. The colors change and even mix as you use them so you are never sure just what color is going to come out of the pen. I have owned several sets of gel pens and none have had these mix up pens before this set. I love them and hope to see full sets in different types like glitter and neon come out. I would definitely buy them if they did.
These pens are very comfortable in my hand. It is easy to see what color I am using because the barrel of the pen is clear so I can see the ink. The caps are also color coordinated with the ink inside. The ink flows well and makes it easy to fill in large areas of design quickly. They are a fine line pen so you can also use them for writing in greeting cards and they will look great!

Mini Nail Files, Assorted Color 50 Pack Review
I always need a nail file or three. I work retail and I am constantly breaking and splitting my nails because of the things I am lifting and sliding along the scanner to price. I considered getting fake nails, but I am afraid they will pop off at work and be a pain to fix, so I leave my nails short but filed. These mini nail files by Jaylie TM are great. You get 50 in the bundle and that is a lot of nail files.
There are plenty enough to keep some for yourself, and share with your friends and family. They come in a rainbow of colors like red, pink, yellow, blue, green, and orange. I found them to be very strong and they worked well when I used them to file my nails.
I think if you take a couple and tie them to a nice bottle of nail polish they make a nice little gift too. You could use them as party favors for teenage girls, or for a wedding shower or even a bachelorette party. Or keep them for yourself and you will have a supply of nail files that should last you a long time. If you are interested in these files, I bought them on Amazon here http://www.amazon.com/Jaylie-Mini-Assorted-Color-Files/dp/B00JOOS6VS/ref=sr_1_7?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1434146468&sr=1-1&keywords=mini+nail+files

Lime Time Perlees Lipstick Collection
I received a tube of Lime Time Perlees Lipstick at no cost for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
This is a wonderful matte style lipstick. I like the way it is easily applied and that it stays on for a good amount of time. I chose the color Gemma and when I got it, I was a little nervous because it seemed dark. I have a hard time finding good complimentary colors of lipstick. I either end up buying too dark or too light, but even though this one looked dark, I think it looks nice with my skin coloring.
As I said, it goes on easy and it doesn't smear or rub off on my teeth. I do have to reapply after I eat or drink but I do that with all of the lipsticks I own. The tube it comes in is a very pretty floral design that looks very high end. You can get this lipstick on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B018WOBL9O

Walk your way to a healthier you!
Happy New Year to all of my readers, new and old! Seems like every January we start out fresh with new resolutions to make the year better than the one that just passed. We vow to eat better, save more, spend more family time, stop smoking, exercise more and a host of other things. I didn't make any resolutions last year until 2 days after my birthday, January 25th. As some of you know, I had a doctor's appointment that day, stepped on the scale, and had a big wake up call!
I am fat! Call it what you want to...obese, fluffy, chunky, large, big, or plain overweight! I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember in my life. It probably started right after I stated puberty at age 10. I have bounced up and down over the years and have done every diet imaginable. I just haven't been able to stick with anything..until now. That hop on that scale literally changed my life. It has been 11 months almost to the day since that shock, and I have now lost a total of 47 lbs out of my 50 for the year. I have changed my eating habits immensely and I walk.
So this year again not on New Year's but on my birthday, I am setting another goal of 25lbs by July 25th and a fourth by my birthday in 2017 which will make a total of 100lbs. I am doing it slowly in small goals that I can achieve and feel good about. I am almost half way there now with only 3 lbs to do before January 25th. It feels wonderful and I can see the results in smaller pants and not breathing like a steam engine when I have to walk a few feet or climb stairs.
So, I want to talk about walking. It is an easy way to exercise, it can make you sweat if you do it long enough and it helps get you healthier! I started out slow. I think I walked around the block for the first 8 weeks twice a day, and then gradually built up. I now have a job at a retail store and I get my walking in there every day. I can log a good 5000 to 7000 steps at work without even realizing it. Which brings me to my next thought. Get a pedometer to count your steps! A pedometer will keep you motivated and most likely stimulate you to even walk more! You can set a goal of however many steps you want to take and increase it as you want to challenge yourself. I am at 5000 to 7000 now and I am going to up that soon to 10,000. Walking is so easy, and it gets your heart going, opens your lungs, and makes those muscles work!
I found a very easy to use pedometer online here http://www.ozofitness.com/products/ozo-fitness-pedometer-sc1-track-steps-calories-miles-walked-get-your-step-counter-today It is by Ozo Fitness and it is easy to set up and use. You just follow the instructions in the box. I think it took me all of 10 minutes to set it up. Set the clock for 12 hours, figure out and set your stride, input your weight, and that is it. The clip at the top is very secure and it wont fall off your waistline once you clip it on. The dial is very easy to read too so you can keep track of your steps and how many calories you have burned at any given time of the day. I love mine! I keep it clipped on me all day and I am surprised at how many steps I take even just around the house.
Having this pedometer on reminds me of how many steps I still need to take during the day. I park my car farther from the stores in the parking lots. I take stairs instead of elevators, and I look for ways to increase my walking during the day. It is so easy to do, and it helps burn calories. Since I started work in September I have lost 14lbs! I had hit a plateau and was struggling but walking really helped me to get myself moving in the right direction again. I really urge you to check out their website http://www.ozofitness.com/products/ozo-fitness-pedometer-sc1-track-steps-calories-miles-walked-get-your-step-counter-today and pick up a Ozo Fitness pedometer for your New Years fitness goals.
Happy New Year from my house to all of you. May 2016 be everything you anticipate it to be and may all your goals and hopes come true.
