Review-Zim's Max-Freeze for Muscle & Joint Pain Relief

Saturday, November 29, 2014


I have a bad shoulder from exercising at a gym. Every once in a while it still acts up-especially when I am sitting too long at my computer and typing for extended periods of time. The joints in my fingers and hands are also in pretty bad shape. So when Zim's asked if I would like to try their Max-Freeze product I thought-what do I have to lose---I asked for the spray on formulation which I received very promptly.


According to their website

"Zim's Max Freeze in an easy, one-touch spray! Note: Orders containing Zim's Max-Freeze must be shipped UPS Ground.

May effectively help relieve pain from:

Sore Muscles & Muscle Sprains
Back, Shoulder, Neck Pain
Painful Ankle, Knee, Hip & Elbow Joints
Muscular Strains

Zim's Max-Freeze delivers temporary relief to aching muscles and joints, back, shoulder or neck pain. It is formulated with naturally-based ingredients including aloe, arnica, Vitamin E and tea tree oil.

Max-Freeze comes in a spray, roll-on or gel. It does not contain harmful ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, or synthetic fragrances."

For more information about the products, feel free to check out their website or Facebook and Twitter for more information.

For the ingredients (all natural) click here

So, I sprayed it on my aching shoulder and it worked!! There is a definite smell of menthol but it does go away after a while. The pain disappeared as if by magic. And the price is extremely reasonable.

They also have other products-even a formulation for diabetics. And as a diabetic I know all about dry, cracking skin. I really should give that a try as well!!

Max-Freeze is widely available at national supermarkets and drug stores across the U.S., including Walmart, Walgreens and CVS.

Kindle Fire (Grand Prize) $100 PayPal (2nd Winner) US ONLY-Books by Carole P. Roman-Ends 12/13



I have read a couple of Carole P. Roman's books. She had sent me the entire "if you were me and lived in" series. Now I have no children but I knew one of my clients who has grandchildren of the age group for these books. I brought them and handed them over. The next time I saw this woman all she could do was rave about the books and how her grandchildren loved them! I believe they have bought several others by this author since then! If you have children please please please get them Carole P. Roman's books. You will be so happy you did and your children or grandchildren or nieces or nephews will thank you.

Named to Kirkus Reviews' Best of 2012 for her first book, award winning author Carole P. Roman started writing as a dare from one of her sons. Using an imaginary game she played with her grandson as a base, Captain No Beard was born."Captain No Beard- An Imaginary Tale of a Pirate's Life" has not only been named to Kirkus Best of 2012, it received the Star of Remarkable Merit, and won the Pinnacle Award for 2012. "Pepper Parrot's Problem with Patience" Book 2 in the series, received 5 Stars from The ForeWord Review The Clarion Review. Strangers on the High Seas has won second place in the Rebecca's Reads Choice Awards 2013. It has followed with six more books to the series.
Motivated by her love of yoga, Roman has written a book that not only teaches four poses, but shows how easy and accessible yoga can be. 


Her non-fiction series, "If You Were Me and Lived in..." combines her teaching past with her love of exploration and interest in the world around us. The debut book in the series, "If You Were Me and Lived in...Mexico" has won the Pinnacle Award for Best in Children's Non Fiction 2012. France, South Korea, and Norway. Rebecca's Reads has given If You Were Me and Lived in...Norway an honorable mention in the 2013 Choice Awards. If You Were Me and lived in ...France won second place. ForeWord Review has nominated If You Were Me and Lived in...France for best in children's non fiction literature 2013. 


Writing for children has opened up a whole second act for her. While she is still working in her family business, this has enabled her to share her sense of humor as well as love for history and culture with the audience she adores. Roman lives on Long Island with her husband and near her children.

Signed Book/Bookmarks (5 Winners)-The Vineyard-Michael Hurley-Ends 12/18


This is a novel about three women in their thirty's who have been very close since their college days. Dory comes from money and lives in Martha's Vineyard. She is the epitome of the spoiled rich girl who is in all the right social circles and knows all the right people, and doesn't really know what she wants from life. She invites her two closest friends to spend the summer with her. Charlotte, the first of the friends to arrive has decided to commit suicide. Her child has died and the Church will not bury her because she had not been baptized yet. Her husband divorced her. Turner, an angry woman, poor as a church mouse is the third.

A man known only as the fisherman will turn all their lives as well as the towns around--

This novel was confusing to me in parts trying to figure out where I was exactly in the story. Human fragility abounds throughout. The ending is sad and uplifting all at the same time. It is well worth the read.

NEW RELEASE....



A Beautiful Island in New England.

A Time of Healing for Three Women.

A Moment of Destiny for One Man.

From Michael Hurley, winner of the Somerset Prize, comes a tale of old money, young passion, and ancient mystery.

Ten years after their college days together, three wounded and very different women reunite for a summer on the island of Martha's Vineyard. As they come to grips with the challenges and crises in their lives, their encounter with a reclusive poacher known only as "the fisherman" threatens to change everything they believe about their world--and each other.

Review







Book Excerpt from Chapter 10
 Despite the tumultuous beginning of the season and the clouds in Dory’s future, June in Edgartown was as bright as ever, and the three friends took advantage of every minute of it. There were walks down Main Street on sunny afternoons carrying giant, round mounds of mint-chocolate-chip ice cream, teetering three-high and dribbling down onto sticky fingers before it was licked gone. There were steamed little neck clams with butter sauce and fresh horseradish, served with gin and tonics on the porch of The Crew House, overlooking the harbor, and the good-looking, Italian waiter who worked there. It became Turner’s mission to see how many times she could get him to use the word “Tanqueray” in a sentence, because she liked the way he said it. There were lazy hours lying on the beach by the lighthouse and meandering hunts for the perfect cockleshell, and double-dog dares to go skinny-dipping after dark that always descended into fully-clothed refusals, recriminations, and false accusations of prudery—the truth, however, being that none of them was eager to expose great white bellies bursting with clams and Tanqueray and mint-chocolate-chip ice cream.
About the Author

Book Review-The Symbolon: The Sibylline Trilogy (The Oracles Book 2)- Delia J. Colvin

Monday, November 24, 2014


You definitely have to read this series in order!! Book 2 continued seamlessly with more twists and turns then a Greek Tragedy! But then of course immortals are kind of known for that. There came a point in this book where I was enthralled-I could not believe what was happening and my throat was in my mouth several times. Who is friend and who is foe? And as in any good Greek Mythology there is someone in the background trying to cause lots of trouble and involving others in the scheme. The ending sets you up for the next in the series which thankfully I already have in my possession or I would be screaming Noooo. So until I can read the 3rd in the series and review it for you all--start reading this series--do soul mates ever have it easy?

About the Book (from Amazon)


Can love defy fate?

The Symbolon, is the passionate second novel of The Sibylline Trilogy that weaves Greek mythology with a modern tale of eternal love!

For 3000 years, Alex has dreamed of a life with his symbolon, his mortal soul mate. But when they approach the ancient council of immortals for approval of their marriage, they discover that sinister forces object to their union. Soon, they are faced with terrifying threats, including a devastating separation that neither may survive.

THE SIBYLLINE TRILOGY - a love more enduring than life...than death...than destiny.
