I thought Danyel wanted to write Novels? Why do I see these weird blog thingys?

I wanted to clarify to anyone who may actually take to read this blog to understand why I took a break from writing and editing on my novels. In October 2013, I was off work and unable to drive for 3 months due to my epilepsy. I was put through battery of tests and on a couple meds, off a med then up-ed and up-ed the dosages until I was drugged up enough for them to feel that I was safe to not have seizures. Then I had to take the meds long enough to not be a walking zombie in order to get the okay to get my driving privileges back.


Needless to say my brain stopped working properly, during my time off I struggled to help with my then 3rd grade son's homework as the meds were in me it got a little better. It took me over six months before I could read a book and even longer before I was writing again. I started reviewing products for two reasons-- one I LOVE FREE STUFF, especially nice free stuff like 75 dollar face cream; and finally it kept me writing even if it was a few hundred words here and there. Its wasn't novels but it was words and something was better than nothing.

A moon or two ago I realized my seizures did not seem to be under control the way I wanted them to be. Each month the I seem to be adding another bad day, I was not eating gluten, I could not figure it out. Long story short, New neurologist, titrated off Lyrica and every day in the weening process has been another day closer to a clear head. Today is day 3 with no Lyrica. Maybe I will return to my real love-- my books. I can say my muse has been whispering in my ear in the shower and when I am driving. That is where I started writing this blog.

Well today's review is for Smooth Viking Beard Conditioner. Hubby started growing a beard last summer and the only part of his transformation that I did not love was that facial hair is not very soft. Smooth Viking beard conditioner does make the facial hair softer so it does what its name suggests. Their ingredients are 100% Natural: Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Argan Oil, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Jojoba, Beeswax, Pure Essential Oil. The product was high quality balm and came in teeny manly burlap sack. There is only one thing I didn't care for. The scent was not appealing enough for my hubby enjoy the softness of the conditioning that close to his nose though, just personal preference of scent not product.

What is the chances of my review being on a product called Resurrect due on Easter Sunday?

I am a bit of a procrastinator by genetics, by laziness, by being a full time mom, blogger, wife and full time social worker. Whatever the reason I usually write my reviews as close to the due date as possible. I would prefer to think I am using the product for as long as possible in order to give my ten to fifteen readers (if I am lucky, I know its really six of you! If you comment your favorite easter candy, I will give you a shout out in the next blog! And of all the commenters on this post one lucky reader will get a prize. I cannot announce the prize at this time is but many of my fun companies I review for like to send us extra product.) I digress. Winks.

But the point I was forgetting to get to was this product was called Resurrect and it was due for me to review on of all days, Easter Sunday the day of Jesus' Resurrection. The way all the things in our lives lineup sometimes gives me goosebumps.

The first day I put it on, I was shocked to feel it firming my skin within seconds of putting it on my skin. Seconds. I wash my face every night, then I use product. Never have I had a product do anything instantly other than cause a olfactory memory at best. This one was unlike all the others. It truly had a tightening effect-- a little face-lift in a bottle. They call their product Resurrect and I can see why.

I told my Aunti about this one I just knew she would love the lift and tightening I felt on the first and every day after.

A nice short and sweet blog like I like my Easter candy-- Mini Eggs. I received this product for an honest review.

Happy Easter and I hope to see what your favorite Easter candy is below!
