Whats Coming!

I know I don't normally post on the weekends but I wanted to let everyone know what was coming to the now NEW site.

If you are new here ill let you in on what has been going on!

In the last few days I have sold my tour site address and my readers group.  I decided to just not use the readers site anymore since I just didn't have the time. As for the Tour site I thought it would be easier to have it here instead.  On my personal site.  Which used to be called The Guardian of the Crossroads.  So you will still see that places.

So now I shortened the name and created Crossroads.  A place of not only book things but others.  The post before this one you will notice is a product and not a book.  Well that will be a new thing for this site.  I will not only be reviewing books anymore.  I will reviewing EVERYTHING!

So for weekly content.  Things will change again.  I know I have been changing them for a while.  I hope that this will be the last time.

Ill keep you updated on everything that is going on at the Crossroads so don't worry!  

Say YES!






So first off I am NOT being paid to say this.  I wanted to make sure that you guys knew that.  
Ok so I have tried everything I could think of.  



Proactiv just broke my skin out more and made my face all red.  I was told when I took it back that I was more than likely allergic to it. So my search went on.










St. Ives apricot scrub was even worse.  It broke me out so bad and not just my face.  Anywhere it touched me I broke out. When I found out I was pregnant with Anarece the doctor tested me for Murser (so not spelled right).  But its a bacteria that lives on the skin.  I was like great ill have that use some special soap and all the acne will go away.  Ya not so much! I was just WAY allergic to this.  :((







So next was some of the stuff from Neutrogena.  This first one just didn't work and left my face oily even though it says oil free.














Then I decided to try this one. Also from Neutrogena. And well it did around the same as the above. It left my face oily after I washed it. And just didn't work.













So on a trip to Target I found this.  I first tried the face washes which I'm always on the look out for good ones that don't smell bad and really clean my face of sweat instead of always being to remove makeup.  Well after falling in love with the washes which are also for acne.  I decided to try this.  And I've been using it for almost a week and just had to tell you guys about it.  My acne is way down now and really almost gone!  Cant beat that!  Even Proactiv says its take a full two months for good results. 


My face feels clean instead of oily and well I love the smell of all this stuff.  They have body scrub that I'm going to try once I can buy it.  Target didn't have it so ill have to order it.  This system is $19.99 from Target and the washes are $7.99 so around the same cost as everything else.  The nice thing about this company is that EVERYTHING is Crunch Free which means is Cruelty Free. 











So say YES I did and now my skin has never felt better!!


PS. Make sure you check reviews on Amazon or some other place.  Because I posted a bad review of the Blueberry facial towels and this is what I got back.

This is about the 24 solar terms. The two symbols mean the end of summer. The terms developed about 200 years ago for farming to tell farmers when to plant and when to harvest.  This was a great card and I learned something new!

The Little Woods

Book Description

July 10, 2012
Are the woods behind St. Bede's Academy really haunted, or does bad stuff just happen there? When Calista Wood, a new student, arrives midway through her junior year, St. Bede's feels like a normal school . . . until she discovers that a girl had disappeared a couple of months earlier. Some kids think she ran away, others think she was murdered, but it's only when Cally starts digging around that she finds the startling truth.

Watch as Cally enters a world of privilege, weekend-long parties, high school romances, and . . . well-kept secrets. This page-turner will appeal to teens looking for a fast-paced thriller. Written in a voice at once gripping and crystal clear, debut novelist, McCormick Templeman, will take readers on a twisting and turning journey as only a "new girl" can experience.  

About the Author

McCORMICK TEMPLEMAN is a graduate of Reed College, holds two master's degrees, and is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist. Ms. Templeman attended a school not unlike St. Bedes as a high schooler.



The only real issue I had with this book was that our main character didn't really know anything about being a teen.  I understand that she lost her father and her sister at a young age. But, still that doesn't mean she should live under a rock.  I know so many people that have no idea about the world around you.  So that kind of ticked me off.

Anyway this book was filled to the brim with twisted mystery and suspense! I thought that it was one person who did it then found out how wrong I was with an end that I didn't see coming!

This is another book with one girl and two guys a romance.  Which I'm kinda of getting tired of.  Why not just leave it with one guy one girl?  Why make it complicated?
