Today I am sharing a video I recorded right before we moved to our new place. In it I am unboxing and giving thoughts on my friend India's June & July Wax Melts that I got through her Patreon Account & Business as I was a patron of hers. Check out the video to hear my thoughts for these intriguing wax melts and be sure to check out India's candles too.
My friend India of Life Is A Page Turner has a candle company called Page Turning Products / Page Turning Candle Co.. Recently (technically in July 2020) I purchased some of her candles ... this is my unboxing and reaction video of getting those candles. YAY!! Check out India's candles, India's IGs, MY video, and MY promo photos of the candles!
That all being said I want it stated that this is not a sponsored video. Though I am a huge fan of my friend, I did purchase these candles and all of the reviews within my video are my own. Enjoy!
Confession time ... I am not sure what went down on Twitter about Book Bloggers ... and in some ways I am completely happy to be in denial about whatever it was. Yet, I am a book blogger (I have been since this blog began in 2008) and I am a booktuber (I have been since I included "bookish" videos on my youtube channel in 2017) ... therefore I find what Ben is putting together really important.
Yes BookTube is an important venue for Authors, however Book Bloggers have been around for generations and we do not plan on going away. So I truly appreciate Ben of Benreadsbooks & BenReadsBooks trying in bring everyone together in his own way. I did comment on Ben's tweet and no I do not know if or when he'll mention my blog ... or if he'll mention it at all. That is fine. I would love the support but it is not needed. I have come to terms with how much "support" I will get over the years and in truth I get more support from authors than I have from supporters or followers. It is why I do what I do and why I have created a small business in assisting authors the best I can.
Please watch Ben's video below. If you are a book blogger be sure to comment on Ben's tweet too.
Today I am sharing with you an unboxing and review of a product I chose from Trendhim.com! I was offered this product for free in return for a honest review and to truly give you my complete thoughts about the BLACK WOOL FLAT CAP I picked out watch this video:
I am wishing everyone a wonderful day and happy 4th of July to those in America (like me). To get everyone into the spirit I am sharing a few videos that I recently created and a few posts from my From Jess to You Services' clients. In addition ... you'll find an giveaway (open internationally) down at the bottom! 😁 🇺🇸
⬇️⬇️ Now for the Posts, Videos, & the Giveaway! ⬇️⬇️
As 2019 is now among us Jess still tries to finish this massive website update completely, so she can get it more "user friendly" and have her posts become "live" again. But until then here is one of Jessica's Secret Santa that she participated in this holiday season. Originally she was going to show the unboxing of the package Jess sent out to the other YouTuber but it seems (even so long after the deadline) that participant still hasn't posted her video ... so I'll leave you with Jess's live video of her choosing a book for the package she put together and Jess's own Secret Santa unboxing that was put together by Rokxy over at Home Sweet Home!
You all have been wonderful these past 9 years as this blog grew and as I expanded to my business From Jess to You Services last year. So, instead of doing my usual listing of book sales to celebrate my birthday I decided to GIVE AWAY SOME BOOKS AND A GIFT CARD TO YOU MY LOVELY SUPPORTERS!! I cannot thank you enough. And with all my moves this past two years which have made me really backlogged on my blog you have stuck with me and followed my antics along the way. It truly means the world to me.
So ... THE GIVEAWAY!! I know it's not much but I hope you'll enjoy the prize options as there will be FOUR WINNERS!! This giveaway will start today (November 9th) my Mother's Birthday and will run until November 14th which is my Sister's Birthday. We also have to celebrate my Birthday tomorrow (November 10th) and my client, Michele Summers, Birthday on November 12th!
-- As stated within the above giveaway info: This Giveaway is open to anyone (Domestic or International) who is 18 years or older at the time of entry. BUT if you are International and win a novel it will automatically be an e-book that you receive. --

Okay even as I write this I am aware that some of the Women's Marches are still going on .. and I sooo wish I could've attended one but because of the social media world that we live in I was DEFINITELY there in spirit! SOO ... First off ... check out these cool banners I created to say THANK YOU to those who WERE able to get out and support the cause!
Okay ... my goal was to create a Thank You video for following me on my social accts and for reaching 900 FOLLOWERS ON MY TWITTER ACCT. But once my kids joined in it got even sillier. *hehee* I hope you enjoy and THANK YOU EVERYONE!!

I'm so happy! My video creation program works on my new laptop! AND .... I have the urge to CREATE again! I'm not sure what I'll make for videos ... I just have hopes that they'll be good. *hahaa*
Anyway ... here's my little teaser that I've been thinking about making since I filmed it at my Mother's house back in August of this year ...

Image of :: I'm not sure how many more years this old barn has left in it but I drive past it almost daily and loved the rundown look of it. So, when I finally found a day where the sun was hitting it just right I needed to take a photo of it.
This is a part of a series of photos I'll be posting (not during any time frame just when the mood strikes me) on my blog. I don't know why but some rundown places or things interest me ... so here is the first in this series! =0)
This is the 3rd Market Impossible Challenge that Elizabeth City, NC's Downtown Waterfront Market has held on September 18, 2010. The restaurants that were competing against each other were Mac's Back Door Oyster Bar and Grill (from Edenton, NC) and Montero's Restaurant (from Elizabeth City, NC).
Hi all ... since June 2010 I've been working as the Operations Manager at Port Discover in Elizabeth City, NC. Recently my co-worker has started a display in one of our windows, now called the "Window of Wonder", and right now, we have some Black Swallowtail Caterpillars on display. We're hoping to watch their lifecycle so we'll get to see them turn from caterpillars into butterflies!
Here's a picture that I took of one of the caterpillars that's in our display:
