Review and Giveaway: Canale Originals introduces Bracelet-Mate, The Purseless Purse and Wrist-Bling

This product, the Bracelet-Mate by Canale Originals, is definitely original. When you go to a fancy holiday party, who wants to be stuck carrying their clutch all night long? With the Bracelet-Mate, you have a bracelet that functions as your wallet and purse! Just put your ID, cash, lipstick, and key and keychain inside, slip it on, and you're all set!

It does take a few minutes to get used to wearing but after that, you'll forget you're wearing it. And what's nice is that there are so many different designs and colors to choose from. I received the black one to review, since black goes with everything. And besides wearing it to parties, you can wear it when you go out dancing, on the beach, shopping… anywhere.

Question of the Week - Christmas Shopping

Copyright (c) 123RF Stock Photos

Have you started your holiday shopping yet? All finished? Do you do most of your shopping in stores or online?

Me? I'm just about done and actually finished all of my shopping early last week - just have to get some stocking stuffers. This is way ahead of the game for me, normally I wouldn't make my purchases for another week or so. And since I do all of my shopping online, that's not a good thing. I usually only buy stocking stuffers in stores, which is why I haven't bought them yet.

Weekly Progress Report - Post Nano and Editing

During the month of November, I wrote about 87K - 80K for Crystal's Magic and a 7K short romance story.

Now that November is over and it's December, I'm having a little bit of a hard time getting back into the writing saddle. I want to finish my fantasy MG story about a princess who loves adventures and has a tendency to lie before next year so I better get started. I'm about a 1/4 of the way through it, but that's where I was before Nano.

Instead of writing, I've been doing a lot of editing. My brain is gonna melt, I swear.

What have you been up to post Nano?

Check out some other great progress report this week:

Creature of the Week – Griffin

The griffin is one of the most well-known legendary animals, known in Mesopotamia and Egypt since 3300 BC.

The griffin has the body of a lion, and the head, wings, legs, and talon of an eagle. Lions are the king of beasts and eagles are the king of birds, so the griffin is a powerful and majesty creature. Because of their dual nature, medieval Christians saw them as a symbol of Christ’s human and divine qualities, which is why many medieval churches had griffin sculptures.

Griffins are said to guard treasures and to be fiercely protect of their hoard, just like dragons. Their favorite prey were horses.

According to the American Museum of Natural History, dinosaur bones have been discovered of a half-eagle, half-lion hybrid, the Protoceratops. Perhaps our ancestors saw their bones and fossils and that's how the origins of the griffin myth originated from.
