Review:

Well, I have had fun this year reading the wonderful Quilts of Love series from Abingdon Press. Each book in the series is written by a different author(s) along with a fresh plot and new characters.

The newest release in the series is titled Swept Away and is coauthored by Laura V. Hilton & Cindy Loven. The novel centers on a school teacher, Sara Jane Morgan, who has to deal with her match-making grandmother. Her grandma is very crafty, as she uses an excuse to help Sara learn how to quilt, but in reality it was just a clever way to get her to come over and meet the single handyman, Drew Stevenson.

While Sara wasn't exactly looking for a romance, she is attracted to Drew and finds his passion as an artisan interesting. Just like most people today, she basically "Google" him and discovers that he has a troubling past that took place in the Appalachian Trail. She wants to ends things with him right there, but her feelings for him gives her the ability to find out what really happened to Drew.

Review:

Arriving on DVD on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 is the horror-adventure Day of the Mummy from director Johnny Tabor. The film stars Danny Glover, William McNamara, Andrea Monier, Eric Young, Robin Steffen, Philip Marlatt and Michael Cortez. There are no extras or special features on the DVD.

The film centers on an Indiana Jones-type adventurer, Jack Wells (played by William McNamara), who agrees to search for for a lost artifact, The Codex Stone, in Egypt for a millionaire Carl (played by Danny Glover), who happens to be a collector. Carl gives Jack a pair of high-tech glasses that will allow Carl to see everything that Jack is seeing.

Jack teams up with a group of archaeologists to find the tomb of King Neferu, but to their surprise there is a mummy in their path. The mummy will protect the stone at all costs. Jack must use his wits to outsmart the mummy, find the stone and save the girl (played by Andrea Monier).

Everybody wants to have a great smile, but may not have the time or the right insurance to get a professional teeth whitening from a dentist office. There are many at-home teeth whitening kits that can be purchased, but many don't actually "whiten" your teeth.

For the last few weeks, I have been trying the Dr. Song Professional Teeth Whitening Kit in my attempt to brighten up my teeth by Christmas.

The kit contains:

8 XL Syringes (44% Carbamide Peroxide)
Gel Applicator
White LED Light
Thermoform Trays

The first thing I noticed about this kit is that the trays are completely different than from others that I have tried. Similar to an at-home night guard, the trays have to be placed in boiled water for a few seconds. Then you quickly fit the tray around your teeth and basically you have to suck the air out of tray. This way the tray is a perfect mold of your teeth.

You'll need a bowl or a cup to put a little dab of the Carbamide Peroxide in it, grab the applicator and apply the Carbamide Peroxide to the front side of each tooth. Then slip the trays around your teeth.  You can place the White LED Light in your mouth for about 15 minutes. The teeth whitening session can last 30 minutes or up to several hours depending on your sensitivity. The kit should last about 50 treatments.
