Road Trip Go-To

Today's road trip is a hobbie indulgence to the book launch party for Incarnate by Jodi Meadows. Every road trip I have two go-to gadgets. One is my trusty GPS for directions and the other is my iPod updated with my tunes. With these gadgets I am sure to find my way and groove to my favorite music or if you prefer audiobook.  So excited to meet the author and dive into the book!

Random Acts of Kindness

Book Soulmates hosts a wonderful Random Acts of Kindness program. This program is about giving and receiving great books from your fellow bloggers and bookworms. I love making someones day by a random book surprise and having a little something in my mailbox as well.

Here are the rules from Book Soulmates:

Please read carefully & follow all rules! Thank you!

• Please sign-up each month that you can participate (and by participate, it means give as well as receive).
• Show off your participation by grabbing our RAK button (code is in the right sidebar of Book Soulmates.com).
• Create a wish list (on Amazon, Goodreads, or your blog, etc) and post it in the Google Doc located in each R.A.K post for the month.
• If you choose to do a R.A.K for someone, check out their wish list and contact that blogger directly for their information.
• Once you receive a RAK, send us an our new email to [rakbybooksoulmates @ gmail . com] so that we can update the Google Doc. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEND EMAILS TO THIS ADDRESS!
• E-book participation is limited to files being gifted directly to a person from the e-book store. Amazon's Kindle Store is set up to allow this, as well as the Kobo store and we believe Barnes & Noble with Nook as well.
• At the end of the month, SHOW US YOUR R.A.K by making a "RAK Wrap-Up" post. This post should include who you SENT gifts to as well who you RECEIVED gifts from :)

Handsoap with Style

I found these neat soap sleeves from Bath & Body Works made for their anti-bacterial soaps. I bought one for the bathroom and the kitchen. I plan on buying more as new designs come out. Now you don't have to just have a plain plastic bottle on your sink and don't have to refill the decorative ones. Just change the sleeve ad update your sink style.

Sparkle and Shine

I know everyone has that one piece of jewelry that they wear on a regular basis that is their favorite. I have several pieces, like my diamond stud earrings and rings that I wear just about everyday but sometimes they seem to look dull and dirty. Since I can't run to the jewelers each time this happens I found a gadget that can clean your jewelry just a well. The at home ultrasonic jewelry cleaner is so handy and keeps your jewelry sparking. I got mine at the department store for about $30, so worth it! 

So be sure to clean your BLING!

Gadget for Cooks!

Rice is a great side dish with all its varieties and flavors. But some rice takes so long to cook and who wants to baby-sit it on the stove. Not everyone eats enough rice to justify a large rice cooker. I found this Microwave Rice Cooker from Pampered Chef and love it. All you do is add the rice and measured water to the cooker and put in the microwave. A lot of packages have the microwave directions already printed so what could be easier, set the time and go do something else until the beep goes off. Then enjoy!
