Etsy Feature Friday!
Getting To Know Charmaine (charstreasures) Where are you from? and a little bit about you I'm from a small town in Central Queensland in Australia, right on the coast at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef. We have a tropical climate here most of the year, mild winters & humidity fuelled summers. I like to call it Poverty in Paradise. I'm married to my very patient husband, Kevin. No children, but we have a cat & a dog who are our kids. How did you decide on your shop name? Quite easy really - my name is Charmaine, my friends all call me Char, so Char's Treasures seemed appropriate. Why did you start your business? I just love making things and if I can sell them too, well that’s a bonus! I’ve sold on Ebay for the past 9 years or so, but not specifically craft items, but with the current high fees on Ebay it is quickly becoming a non viable proposition, so I started looking for an avenue that I could sell my craft items at realistic fee … [Read more...]

Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge Review
I have always been told to never judge a book by it’s cover. Sometimes it is not easy for me to remember those words. Although, Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge has a beautiful cover and beautiful words. As quoted from the back of the book “Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the beauty of the story.” Those words are so true. As soon as I read the back of the book I knew Captivating was for me! At first it was hard for me to get into this book. I don’t know if it was because I had a lot going on around me or because I was not in the right frame of mind. But, after the first two chapters I could not stop reading it. I spent the next few chapters nodding my head and saying to myself “Yes, I do feel that way as a woman.” It was so amazing how John and Stasi put everything I was thinking and feeling into words. … [Read more...]

Foxy Review and GiveawayCLOSED
Foxy By Pam Grier with Andrea Cagan My Thoughts To be honest I had never heard of Pam Grier when I agreed to read this book. I agreed to read it because I love to read about other people and the trials they lived through. Pam had many! I don’t know what I would have done if I had to walk in her shoes. Pam was a famous actress in the 70’s whose movies consisted of Coffee, Foxy Brown, Sheba Baby, Fool for Love, and Fort Apache: The Bronx to name a few. I will also admit that I have never seen or had I heard of any of these movies but, now I am excited to find and watch them after reading about some of the events that took place while Pam was filming. I also loved to read about some of the relationships Pam had throughout her life such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Freedie Prinze, and Richard Pryor. Pam and I both grew up in Colorado. I grew up 4 hours from her home town of Denver. But, the lives that we both lead are vastly different. It is amazing the trials that she has went through … [Read more...]
The Remedy Review and GiveawayCLOSED
The Remedy by Supa Nova Slom Hip-Hop’s Medicine Man On The Back of the Book Supa Nova Slom has helped some of music’s biggest names get healthy, In THE REMEDY, he shares his “Chlorophyllian Cleanse,” which revitalizes as it cleanses, and restores balance by flushing and feeding your body. My Thoughts The Remedy, what is it with me and all of these cleanses lately? Well the truth is that I want to lose weight and I figure if I continue to get these weight loss books to review then I might be able to do just that! Plus a cleanse is good for you right? Well this one was wonderful! The cleanse consists of 4 days of juice and water mixed with super greens. I thought the super greens would be super hard to find but I was wrong. I found it at my local Vitamin Cottage. The super greens did not taste bad but I will tell you that next time I will try the chocolate instead of the plain. I was impressed with the cleanse and felt much better after the 4 days. It did revamp my taste buds and … [Read more...]
