Book Review: The First Ladies by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray

-
Image
The First Ladies by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray is a historical fiction novel that spans many years and tells of the friendship between former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune. I don't know if I would have picked up this book if it hadn't been the August selection for one of the book clubs I belong to in my area because I don't read a lot of historical fiction. However, I am so glad that I read it and was able to learn many things I hadn't learned about in any of my history classes.  I don't recall learning anything about Mary McLeod Bethune, and she is an important part of American history. The things she helped spearhead to provide African American people equal rights is quite impressive. One of the things I was horrified to learn about is Franklin D. Roosevelt's resistance to stop lynchings because he was afraid of losing the Southern Democrats backing for his New Deal Bill. Another thing that I fo...

Product Review: Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist - Gain Scent

Mr Clean Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist
One particular weekend night, I was watching television, and a commercial came on advertising Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist. In the ad, it mentioned that it would take off grime and dirt after spraying it on the surface and wiping it off with a simple swipe. It went on to mention that it could be used in the bathroom, and I thought, "I really need to try this product on my bathtub."

Excited, I couldn't wait to buy it and looked for it at the grocery store the next day while I was getting my weekly groceries. I wasn't expecting to actually find it in stores yet because it usually takes the stores in my area a few weeks to get products in stock after I see it advertised on television. Much to my surprise and delight, my local Kroger Grocery Store actually had the Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist in stock and in no less than two scents. I grabbed the Gain Scent bottle and stuck it in my grocery cart.

Eventually, I decided to use it to clean my bathtub this past weekend, and I was sorely disappointed in the way the Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist cleaned my bathtub. I literally cleaned my bathtub twice with in, and the cleaning mist did very little to get my bathtub clean. So, I had to clean my bathtub for a third time with a different product which was the Kaboom! Foaming Spray. The Kaboom! Foaming Spray got my bathtub clean in a jiffy.

Although, the Mr. Clean: Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist had a fabulous scent, I doubt I'll buy it again. With that being said, I will test it out on my toilet and sink to see how it does there. However, I am the type of person who likes to buy one type of cleaning product that will clean my entire bathroom instead of buying multiple products, so I just don't think this product is for me.

    i started using Clean FReak when I seen it advertised on tv. My landlord asked me to clean his apartment for him; he pull out the bottom off the stove and it had burned on stuff. I sprayed CLEAN FREAK on it over nite; and I went up the next day and it all came up. I took 2 burners up on my apartment stove; and, I sprayed it let it set for about an hour and half and it right off. Plus, it smells so good. My suggestion would be to come out with more fragrances. ymore about this product than I have. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT WITH THIS PRODUCT.I vould not brag an

    I love the fresh smell of it. I really haven't tried any deep cleaning with it.

    I too bought this product very excited to clean kitchen and bathroom… disappointed in both kitchen and horrible in bathroom. My tub experience was exactly the same. I tried the entire tub 2x back to back and went to a different clean and then went to my BEST appliance purchase EVER… Dupray Neat steam cleaner. It cleans like no other… I have used shark steam cleaner, which is very good and I love my Shark Apex Vacuum (best vacuum I have ever purchased) but the Dupray and Kaboom are still my best recommendations for bathroom and kitchen! I also am a zealot fan for Bar Tenders Friend… beats Ajax/Comet hands down!!

Book Review: The Dare by Natasha Preston

The Dare by Natasha Preston is a young adult horror novel about Marley and her friends Atlas, Lucia, and Jesse are seniors in high school.  The senior pranks are fun and lighthearted until Rhett starts doling out dares that are more serious.  Will Marley and her friends survive? A huge thank you to NetGalley for the Advanced Readers Copy of The Dare  by Natasha Preston.  The last book I read by this author was so well written, I knew I wanted to give her latest story a try. The first thing I noticed about the story is it's reminiscent of R.L. Stine's Fear Street series, which brought back all the feels from my childhood.  Pretty quickly, the storyline shifts and is eerily similar to the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer .  It's at this point that I became disappointed with the book and almost stopped reading it.   Additionally, there were other parts t hat reminded me of The Secret Diaries by Janice Harrell.  So, overall, The Dare wasn't ...

Book Review: Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich

Book Review: Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich  is the latest installment in the Stephanie Plum book series and opens with Joe Morelli asking Stephanie to dog sit his dog Bob while he is out of town testifying at a trial.  The typical chaos ensues when Stephanie has to bring Bob along to apprehend all of her FTAs and has her asking herself if she wants to be married. Each book in this series typically follows the same formula and is wrapped up in a neat, tidy bow at the end.  It's because of this that I enjoy the series . . . I always know that Stephanie is going to get herself into some sort of trouble and need Ranger or Morelli to help her, and the bad guy is always caught.  Sometimes, I just need something familiar and predictable to read.  And, I don't mean that in a bad way either because it allows me to escape reality and gives me a few chuckles along the way.  It's like the ...

The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia is about two women from Madison who are completely different from one another and are on an airplane bound for Denver, Colorado. Jasmine is a waitress and is escaping an abusive relationship. Stephanie is a news director for a local news station headed to a news conference. Friends and family of both women receive texts that they've met a man named Trent. Then, both women disappear. Panic starts to set in with loved ones. Who is Trent, and what has he done to them? I'd like to thank NetGalley for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) that they sent to me for free in exchange for my honest review. The synopsis of The Business Trip intrigued me, and I was excited to dive into the book. The story hooked me from the very beginning. I was rooting for Jasmine to escape her boyfriend and live happily ever after. I was also rooting for Stephanie to find the happiness she was looking for. Then, the book took a very disturbing turn, and I ended up loathing J...
