Fairy lights aka Rtgs 20 micro LED string Review


I was sent these to review.
They have others to choose from too. Get them here!

These tiny 20 LEDs Micro LED Battery Operated String of Lights are perfect for use as a lighting addition to any decorative project. Very thin wire hosts 20 very small LED bulbs that are about size of the rise grain and are intensely bright. With steady 360 degree viewing angle they illuminate in every direction. When used with new batteries they last for over 48 hours. They are easy to hide, give beautiful true color and use fraction of energy needed by regular light strings. 

These lights are also defined Starry String Lights or Fairy Lights.

These are super cute and I love them! We made a fairy house and used them to light it up. As soon as its dark I will share the picture. I am thinking a few more of these for Halloween or a romantic dinner lighting would be good!

A definite buy!

What do Lenny Kravitz, Michael W Smith and 2 members of Korn have in common? This......

 
I was sent a copy of Holy Ghost in exchange for my honest review. The opinions are my own, as always.

Can the Holy Spirit direct a movie? In this fast-paced documentary from the director of the popular films “Finger of God”, “Furious Love”, and “Father of Lights”, Darren Wilson sets out to make a movie that is completely led by the Holy Spirit. No plan, no script, no safety net — just go wherever he feels the Spirit leading him to try and discover the adventure God has for him. Whether it’s the riches of Monte Carlo, a heavy metal concert, or the oldest city in the world, the result is a film that not only challenges and excites, but also reveals a God who is far more alive and active than you ever imagined.

At first I wasn't too into the video because of the healing being done. But as I watched I became intrigued. I was totally sold on the film when I listened to 2 members of Korn give their testimony on their change. Lenny Kravitz and Michael W Smith also make an appearance as well as many others. 

This is a documentary so there are no actors. There are scripted parts but they are narratives only. The director prayed and let the Holy Spirit lead him where to film. 

This film is a wonderful addition to our video library and I will be sure to watch it again!
One lucky reader will also win a copy of this video. Use the easy entry below to enter. The sponsor will ship to the winner.

My daughter and I both used this as we both have facial skill issues aka prone to zits! Its much finer than the sugar scrub I make at home. My daughter and I have been using this for several weeks and I know I like it! She on the other hand, is harder to impress but her skin is looking better. I would say this product is good for teenager to maybe 40. Something else would be better and a bit gentler on the skin for older skin tho. Overall happy!

SYNOPSIS: Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny are four orphaned brothers and sisters who mysteriously appear in a small town on a warm summer night. No one knows who these young wanderers are or where they have come from. Frightened to live with a grandfather they have never met, the children make a home for themselves in an old abandoned red boxcar they discover in the woods. Henry, the oldest, goes to town to earn money and buy food and supplies while the other kids make a home in the boxcar finding old dishes and scraps in a junkyard. Ambitious and resourceful, the plucky children make a happy life for themselves. As time passes, they discover the struggles and rewards of independence as well as the joys of family - until one day Violet gets too sick for her brothers and sister to care for her. They must take Violet to a doctor risking discovery and the loss of their secret home in the forest.


I loved reading the Boxcar children books growing up. They always seemed to have the best fun on their adventures. I wasn't out and about much as a kid about their age so I enjoyed reading about them.
Now the loved book series is out on DVD! I was sent a copy of their new release for my review. Although I thought the animation could have been a bit more high tech, I liked it anyway.
One reader of my blog review will win a copy of their own!

Wherever the River Runs...Review and Giveaway

**Debras Random Rambles was sent a copy of the book Wherever the River Runs
 in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own, as always.**


In Wherever the River Runs, Kelly Minter invites us on a jungle adventure down a river teeming with piranhas, caymans, a beautiful people, and, especially, God’s presence. Her honest and engaging narrative pulls back the curtain on one of the most captivating places on earth as well as on parts of the gospel we may be able to recite but have never fully believed.
For anyone feeling complacent in their American Christianity, Kelly’s story of the forgotten people of the Amazon and how they transformed her understanding of the gospel, is sure to inspire.

And yes, it inspired me! When I finished, I wanted to go to the Amazon! Her descriptivism and her experiences were thrilling. Her words, you can tell and feel, are spoken from her heart. Not too often do I really get into personal accounts in books like I did this one! It was a wonderful read and I am so happy to add this to my book collection!

And I am happy to say one lucky reader will get to add this book to their collection as well! One winner will win a copy of Wherever the River Runs! Debras Random Rambles is not responsible for fulfillment as sponsor will ship directly to winner. Easy Entry below!

AKVIS Oil Paint Computer Program

 I was sent a copy of the AKVIS Program in exchange for an honest review. 
 was not compensated in any other way.


AKVIS OilPaint is photo to painting software that creates oil paintings from photographs. The characteristic feature of the program is a unique algorithm of the artistic application of brush strokes that authentically reproduces the technique of the real brush.

Creating a painting in oil colors is long and complicated process. Usually it may take months. With this cutting-edge software you can become a painter and turn your photos into paintings in just a few minutes!

Even if you are not a professional painter you can create your own masterpiece! Just use AKVIS OilPaint to turn a regular photo into an oil painting.  The mysterious production of a painting happens right before your eyes. The program creates a work of art that looks like a handmade oil painting.

Personalize your work of art by adding a signature or a greeting! To make the painting even more realistic you can adjust the canvas.
The program offers a number of ready to use Presets that let you familiarize yourself with the features of the software. The Batch Processing support lets you automatically convert a series of images with the same settings.
Adjusting the density, texture, and thickness of the brush strokes, you can not only enhance the volume and get impressive effects, but also find your own painting style.
 

AKVIS OilPaint is available as a standalone program and as a Photoshop plugin.

I have been tinkering with this since I was sent a digital copy to review. I like the ease but you do have to tinker a bit to get what you want to look right.
