As part of the beauty category of my holiday guide this year I’m bringing your a beauty product that multitasks.
I use a rose water product already as a toner and even a make up remover depending on what kind of make up I have on. I love the smell of rose water and I love how gentle it is on my skin.
ERA Organics Organic Rose Water is a step above what I normally use. First of all it’s organic. It comes in a convenient spritz bottle making it easy to apply.
ERA Organics products have a 60 day money back guarantee. They’re made in America. They’re also cruelty free, dye free, gluten free, paraben free, perfume free, and no harsh chemicals.
Some uses for rose water:
toner
setting spray
soothing dry skin
giving your skin a refreshing feeling especially in hot weather
helping to calm irritated skin
spritz into dry hair
light rose scent
I personally use rose water to help remove light make up (doesn’t work as well on water resistant or heavy make up)
hair refresher
The ERA Organic Organic Rose Water has an amazing rose scent that lasts long then my typical rose water product. I had never add rose water to my hair but a couple spritzes gave my hair an amazing scent and made me feel refreshed.
This doesn’t really surprise me though. I’ve used a number of other ERA Organics products in the past. They’ve all been high quality and worked well. ERA Organics also offers baby products and men’s products.
I received the above mentioned product sample in order to complete this post. No other compensation has been received. Any opinions expressed are my own.
All Of My Every Things
by L. Bachman
Genre: Poetry
This is not a normal poetry book. It is an exorcism of the soul. A poet will
write about the highs and lows of their life in excruciating beautiful ways. Wrapping their pain with a
ribbon to either be kept as a secret or presented. L. Bachman has gathered some of her most
emotionally raw verses selected from a nineteen-year period of her life and is the first volume of
complete non-fiction to date.
With bruised white knuckles, created by a humbled self-diagnosed
battered and broken being on the road to healing and coping from a painful childhood. This is a display
of work created to express personal struggles and surviving through periods of insomnia, moments of
love, depression, anxiety, and healing.
Cover to cover you will read the inner workings of a reclusive introvert
that has spent her lifetime trying to answer her own questions about who she is, what part she plays in
life, and trying to heal from things she couldn’t. You will see into the mind of the woman known as L.
Bachman through over thirty poems left up to the reader to interpret with an introduction by author KJ.
Taylor.

At a young age, Lynn Lesher began writing and creating digital art, unaware these things would play such a powerful role in her life. Taking upon the pen name L. Bachman, she began putting her talents to good use in her publishing career. Firstly, she put her skills as a digital graphic artist and in 2015 she published her first book, Maxwell Demon, introducing the world to The Blasphemer Series. A series she began developing in her youth. This led to her second release, a short story titled Human Ouija, that garnered her being listed as a bestseller and went on to gain awarding from “Author’s Excellence Awards” for “Best Horror Story 2017”. She continued as a freelance graphic artist throughout her career creating a network that led to her being involved in several anthologies for charitable causes. These shorter stories can still be found in various publications, including her work Little Lunacies. Bachman became known for her emotional darker style, through these shorts and her novels, that some called ‘gothic in nature’ and ‘reminisce of an older style of writing’. In 2019 she released her first non-fiction poetry collection called All of My Every Things, that continued holding true to the style she’s become known for. This poetry collection has been called ‘an exorcism of a soul’ as it bears some of her most emotionally raw poems collected over nineteen years of her life.

Ruth lives in Rothley, Leicestershire, England with her space obsessed husband Simon and her black cat Violet, who just wants a warm knee. She found her love of books at a young age and remembers the smell of the old library on her monthly visits with her mum. Together they would bring home books of many different genres and Ruth quickly moved from reading teen novels to digesting adult books. Ruth was always afraid of horror films, she remembers the time her mum bought her The Thing to watch, thinking it a nice science fiction film. Ruth was terrified and her feelings for horror films remained until her mid twenties, when, suddenly she began to appreciate horror films and began reading Urban Fantasy books. Vampire films quickly became a favourite and the idea for her debut novel slowly began to take place. Currently Ruth is writing the sequel to Origin of the Vampire and when she isn’t writing and promoting her book she loves to relax by drawing portraits. The great outdoors is a big passion and holidays in The Lake District and by the sea in Cornwall and Dorset give Ruth great inspiration. But it was walking in the woods close to home where Ruth had her eureka moment and worked out the final piece of the puzzle for her debut novel. Walking in the countryside near home remains a weekly ritual, and of course coffee and cake is essential before returning home. Facebook * Amazon * Goodreads $10 Amazon voucher
They flashed their passes to the hostess just inside the doorway and entered into a huge
entrance hall where vivid white lighting shaped an otherwise pitch black tunnel for clubbers to
move along. Vampire didn’t need the lighting to see by; it was purely for decoration and
illuminated an ornate three tiered fountain at the end of the tunnel. Bloods cascaded from a jet
at the top into the small top tier which overflowed into a middle tier. As the middle section filled it
spilled into a reservoir at the fountain’s base. The smell of the bloods provoked excitement and
clubbers hastened to reach the fountain. Vampir and Vampirica hostesses wearing skimpy
leather bikinis and trunks were positioned all around the bloods feature holding trays of fluted
glasses. As each clubber reached the fountain a hostess would hold a glass in the bloods flow
and pass it to the fervent new arrival. Bloods dripped from the hostesses’ arms and hands and
they wiped their bloody hands on their bodies adding to the fountain’s dramatic effect.
Christophe and Logan took a sip from their glasses and were thrilled to discover the bloods was
fizzy, the taste was exquisite and the bubbles made them feel light-headed. Beyond the fountain
were two burly vampir dressed in smart leather trousers and long leather coats, they stood
either side of another set of carved wooden doors. The images on these doors were even more
exotic than the first and depicted scenes of vampire walking in the sun. As Christophe looked
closely at the images the two vampir standing at the doors opened them wide and Christophe’s
senses were assaulted with the thumping of music and the bright glow of a huge video screen
behind the DJ.
Vampire writhed around to the music, arms in the air moving to the hypnotic beat of a new track.
A vampir vocalist was singing a song about the rationing of bloods and the downfall of the
vampire race while the video screen showed images from a cult horror film.
When you see the term Mindful Eating you might have an idea what it means. I thought I did when I first saw it. I guess I did in a simplified version but the more I learned about it, the more it really opened my mind. It also opened a new door regarding the way I eat.
Over-simplified, mindful eating is being aware of what you’re eating and being aware of what your body actually wants. – Angie Beechan LuvSavingMoney.com
If you’ve tried to follow just about any app, diet plan, or “lifestyle change” program recently you may have heard things like “Are you really hungry or are you actually thirsty?” or “Do you really want that chocolate cake or are you eating it just because it’s there?” Things of that nature. That’s part of it.
If you think the opposite way and think about “mindless eating” one might picture someone sitting in front of a tv throwing down a whole bag of chips. Or grabbing a cookie from the cookie jar every time you go past because it’s become habit. They might not even realize they’re doing it all the time, it’s almost become automatic.
I’ve been learning about mindful eating through Noom but I’m seen it mentioned in several places recently. So mindful eating would become more aware of your habits, your surroundings, and your triggers. Learning to slow down and appreciate your food without preventable distractions such as cell phones and televisions. Learning to appreciate the flavors in your food, the textures, the sources and ingredients. If you’re wondering about lunch with friends or dinner as a family, it’s actually beneficial. Sitting around a table eating and talking rather than sitting wherever you land while playing on your phone. Taking in the atmosphere, the smell from the foods, etc.
So maybe that’s an extreme example but it does help me to slow down and enjoy the food more and appreciate it. It’s not inhaling Doritos while writing a blog post (cough cough I have no idea who used to do that).
Sometimes it’s catching yourself when you mindlessly grab for the cookies on the table and you say to yourself, “ok Ang, you’ve already had a cookie but you’re not really hungry” or “I think I want it because it’s sweet and crunchy, l’ll eat an apple instead.”
So I hope this post has helped you understand the mindful eating buzzword a little better.
