Oh yeah! We did it again 🙂 Acadiana’s Thrifty Mom has teamed up with FreebieShark and an awesome group of bloggers to bring you this AWESOME prize! One lucky fan will win a year’s supply (600+ loads) of Tide laundry detergent! WOW, can you imagine not buying laundry detergent for an entire year? Well, all you have to do is complete this super easy rafflecopter and you’re on your way to your chance of winning! Good luck!
Seventeen-year-old Majesty Alistair wants police to look further into her father’s fatal car wreck, hopes the baseball team she manages can reclaim the state crown, aches for Derek…or, no…maybe Alec…maybe. And she mostly wishes to retract the hateful words she said to her dad right before slamming the door in his face, only to never see him again.
All her desires get sidelined, though, when she overhears two fellow students planning a church massacre. She doubts cops will follow up on her tip since they’re sick of her coming around with notions of possible crimes-in-the-works. And it’s not like she cries wolf. Not really. They’d be freaked too, but they’re not the ones suffering from bloody dreams that hint at disaster like some crazy, street guy forecasting the Apocalypse.
So, she does what any habitual winner with zero cred would do…try to I.D. the nutjobs before they act. But, when their agenda turns out to be far bigger than she ever assumed, and even friends start looking suspect, the truth and her actions threaten to haunt her forever, especially since she’s left with blood on her hands, the blood of someone she loves.

Choices (The Guardian Trilogy)Hearts break. Loved ones are lost. Life keeps moving.
Olivia Martin’s afterlife was more dangerous and confusing than her life ever was. She thought she was ready to come back, to forget about Holden and to let go of the rage consuming her. Fulfilling her destiny as a guardian was all that mattered—the past could stay hidden in the crevices of her mind. However, when guardians are murdered and the evidence points towards jinn, she has to do something. To save anyone’s future, Olivia will have to confront the one person from her past she is terrified to see.
Holden waited for Olivia with the hope he would see her one more time. But when she didn’t return, he found salvation in darkness. The black and twisted road made it easier to forget what he lost than to live with the memory of what he had. An unexpected promotion shoves him into a world of intoxicating power and influence. Holden will have to choose between his new life and the woman he thought was gone forever.
From the ashes of Secrets, Choices are born that will change everything.

I received some intoxicating scents to review from Auric Blends. Their perfumes and incense are handcrafted and made with high quality ingredients from around the world.
Smell is a vital sense that enhances our experience. It can warn us of danger or soothe our spirit; it can energize or uplift. Auric Blends look upon perfumery as an art form.
The oils I received were Egyptian Goddess, their #1 bestseller, Love, their #2 seller, Ocean Song and Coco Mango.
I also received Temple Essence Star Jasmine solid perfume and Nag Champa incense sticks.
The jasmine came in a beautiful round orb and was a very rich floral scent with a hint of sandalwood:
The Nag Champa is the top selling imported incense in the US. It’s hand rolled and made with herbs, resins and other natural materials. It is my favorite incense and brought back fond memories of ashrams I’d visited around the world.
The Egyptian Goddess is a roll-on perfume oil and has a light floral musk and soft powder scent. It’s warm, seductive and a bit exotic.
The Love roll-on perfume oil is similar to the Egyptian Goddess but a bit sweeter with touches of white amber, white musk and woods.
The Ocean Song I found to be very interesting. It has a white woodsy musk base and top notes of white lavender, Italian lemon and French Riviera mimosa. I liked it very much.
I would wear the Egyptian Goddess and Love when going out at night and the Ocean Song and Coco Mango more during the day, however they really can be worn anytime.
Auric Blends has over 40 fragrances available and prices range from $7.50-$29.99.
The collection includes warm exotics, spicy woods, sweet fruits, florals,
fresh greens and citrus.
Something for everyone.

Recently, I received a lovely bag from Gigi Hill to review. This is the Katharine Bag and it has a beautiful Fleur de Lis pattern (Faux Leather) outside and inside a Bordeaux striped print.
I really like the Katharine Bag. It’s like a tote only much more stylish and sleek. I love the elegant black and white Fleur de Lis pattern outside and the Bordeaux pattern inside is bold and bright . Just in case your outfit or your mood changes, it’s reversible. I found the size perfect to take anywhere.
You can use this bag for books, papers, snacks, or anything really. It has a secure zippered pocket both inside and out for important items (including sunscreen and lipgloss). My cell phone fits there perfectly. I’m loving the fact that if it gets wet or anything spills, due to the material inside and out, you can simply wipe it off. That’s a definite plus.
Gigi Hill carries handbags, totes, wallets and accessories. The inspiration came when two moms met on a soccer field and wanted to come up with a better bag that would really work with a mom’s daily life – bags that were stylish and functional.
Gigi Hill is modern and chic yet also feminine. They have a really nice variety and you can choose your own style of bag as well as from a large combination of patterns, so you can put together something you truly love.
