Winter’s Magic

Owner of La Bella Vita, a five-star day spa nestled in the affluent suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee, Beth Sergeant knows her elite clientele first hand. She attended their private schools. She was even engaged, although briefly, to one of their most recognized bachelors. But she never fit in to their social-elite world.

After losing his parents to a car accident at a young age, Nick Chester was raised by his grandfather, the wealthiest man in Nashville. When he chooses to socialize, he has a never-ending list of exclusive events and beautiful women vying for his attention. Yet he never lets himself forget that everyone has an agenda.

Beth can’t resist Nick’s charm and accepts an invitation to dinner, despite her deep-seated insecurities. She proves she’s nothing like other women he’s dated and learns to trust him in return. But just as the last of their resistance crumbles and true love is within reach, challenges from Nick’s past threaten to destroy everything and force Beth to reveal her most guarded secret.

Teeth grinding:

Teeth-grinding leads to all kinds of dental problems. For example, the grinding force can wear the tooth enamel and form fractures in the teeth. If severe enough, major dental procedures may be required (a crown for example to replace the fractured parts). Aside from being a dental issue, teeth-grinding can also indicate a high level of stress within a person’s life. Many people are not even aware they grind their teeth. This is because the grinding often occurs at night while they are asleep. High levels of stress can lead to a host of other health issues. Therefore, when a person realizes they grind their teeth, they should consider ways to decrease their daily stress.

Crumbling teeth:

If teeth begin to crack or crumble, it can be a result of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This condition causes acid from the stomach to rise back into the esophagus and mouth. When excessive acid is present within the mouth, it will lead to the erosion of the teeth’s enamel. Of course, there are other medical issues that could cause these problems. However, crumbling teeth is a sign of a potentially serious health issue.

Gum overgrowth:

Another dental problem that is indicative of other more serious medical issues is gum overgrowth. When the gums grow over the teeth or swell, it can indicate a problem with medication tolerance. Some medications, such as those that reduce the risk of heart disease, can cause the gums to swell. Most often, the medication needs to be changed in order to fix the problem.

Dry mouth:

There are a variety of sources that can be responsible for creating dry mouth. These could include dehydration, smoking, medication, syndromes or allergies. However, when the body is not producing sufficient saliva, this is an indication that a person may be developing diabetes or Sjogren’s syndrome. These conditions should be taken seriously. Therefore, when the body is not producing enough saliva, the cause of the problem should be investigated.

White webbing within the cheeks:

The mucus membranes within the mouth are often the first target of oral lichen. Although it is a mild skin disease, anyone who notices the white lacy pattern within their mouth, should seek medical attention.

Some people believe that dentistry has nothing to do with the medical field. However, that is simply not true. The mouth in its entirety makes up an important part of the body that should be monitored and examined on a regular basis. In order to catch any potential health problems, people should have their teeth examined and cleaned by a dentist every six months.

Dr. Alin Alkass and his team at Smiles on Elston want to make sure their patients stay healthy. He examines his patient’s teeth and ensures there are no potential medical issues. If there are problems, he knows how to treat the issue using innovative dental technology.

Joshua Hanover had it all. He was handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn’t take their threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone tries to poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn’t know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn’t worth the price he’s paying to be a player.

Laura Deluca is an incredible writer. When you start reading “The Player”, you think it is just a typical story about high school love. Specifically, about Joshua Hanover who had it all. He was handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the ladies.

So popular, that he dated one from 4 different high schools. Then he meets Rosa and truly falls in love. He dumps the 4 other girls and then things start getting interesting. Is it murder?? Is it suicide?? Twist and turns – hard to figure out exactly WHO DONE IT. It is another one of those books that when you get into the story, it is a hard book to put down. You think you figure it out and then there is another twist and turn added to the story.

Good book – that I recommend as a MUST READ!!!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a unbiased and honest review.

Untangling The Knot

“I did what?”

Twenty-eight year old Gabriella Bessu is St. Therese’s meticulous wedding ceremony coordinator. So the fact that she has mistakenly signed her newest couple up for an annulment, rather than a wedding, sends her Catholic guilt into overdrive.

But who can blame her? The groom is gorgeous and his two kids tug at Gabriella’s heart in a way that overcomes all her best intentions. Before long she’s in over her head, fixing her mixed-up plans and helping the children and dad come to terms with their haunting grief for the mother and wife they lost years earlier.

Can Gabriella untangle her own fears and accept the messy life that God has handed them?

Review -

Sometimes, love is found in the most unforeseen places, at the most unexpected times. While a wedding is a great place for a single girl to find romance, it is usually not with someone already planning to walk down the aisle. Gabriella is the wedding planner at her Catholic Church and finds herself planning a wedding for a couple that she knows is not meant to be together, because she is falling in love with the groom.

Ryan and Gabriella have both experienced loss, which is what begins to build their relationship. Ryan decided that it was time to re-marry, after losing his wife and raising his two children on his own. And his fiancé is nothing short of Bridezilla at times. It is apparent that Ryan and Mandy are just not right for each other.

Author Deanne Wilsted does a fantastic job of setting up this story to show how sometimes life happens, and you just have to have faith that there is a bigger plan for you. The story was very lighthearted and romantic, while including a bit of humor. This was a hard book to put down and I found myself immersed in the story because I wanted to find out what was going to happen next. If you love this genre, I definitely recommend reading Untangling the Knot.

5 Things to Keep in Mind When Designing a Nursery

There are so many wonderful nursery ideas out there to choose from, but have you considered where to get started? Some new parents choose to wing it and end up with furniture that’s too big for the room and pieces that aren’t functional past the diaper days. The following are just five things to keep in mind when designing a nursery.

Room Size

You need to take the time to measure the room so that you know whether or not pieces at the store are going to fit. For example, while you may think that crib you just scored at the thrift store was an excellent buy, you may find that it doesn’t fit in the room. That sort of defeats the purpose of saving money.

Functionality

When choosing pieces for your nursery, you want furniture that will grow with the child. For example, a crib that coverts into a bed may cost a bit more, but it will be functional for a longer period of time.

Style

While the pieces you choose may be in style now, what if you want more children down the road? It pays to choose furniture that has a classic look. That way you can use the pieces with all of your children.

Colors

While you may love hot pink or neon green, painting the walls in such a bold color choice will make it hard for the baby to sleep during her afternoon nap. Choose a wall color that won’t blind the child if the sun comes through the window.

Simplicity

Themes are wonderful for any room in the home, especially nurseries. However, that doesn’t mean that every square inch of the room needs to be covered in monkeys. Keep it simple so that the room has a fun theme, but still looks elegant.

A nursery can be fun to decorate, but can also be a nightmare. Remember to keep these simple tips in mind so that your nursery is the most beautiful room in the house.

Beer Money

In the explosive opening to an exciting new mystery series, private investigator Burr Ashland learns that his best friend, a history professor, has been murdered.

Burr is plunged into an investigation that puts him in the middle of a violent struggle not just between the present and the past, but between good and evil.

With nonstop action and breakneck twists, BEER MONEY is the next bestseller from Dani Amore, who Mystery Tribune calls “A sensation among Kindle owners who love fast paced thrillers.”

Excerpt -“Relax, Mr. Ashland,” she said. “I’m not here for you. I’m just trying to find

out what happened to your friend. I’m not even going to ask you where you were

the night Bantien was murdered.”

She looked at me. I didn’t respond.

“Was anything going on in his personal life that you knew about?” Gabby

said. “Major upheavals?”

“Tim got divorced a year and a half ago,” I said.

“Anyone new in his life?”

“Not that I know of.”

“Was he under any kind of financial strain?’

“I don’t think so.”

She put her notebook away.

“Then I guess that’s it for now, Mr. Ashland,” she said. “I may have some

more questions for you later. Are you planning on leaving town during the

holidays?”

“No.”

“You know, my chief is a stickler for details. I probably should ask you where

you were last night. Sometime between eleven and one in the morning.”

“I was here. At home.”

“Any witnesses who can verify that?”

“No.”

She waited.

“People,” she said finally. “They’re never around when you need ‘em.”
