Things that Matter by Charles Krauthammer

Disclosure - free sample provided.


I am very interested in politics, and what is going on in the world.  I am a big fan of Charles Krauthammer, so I was very excited to receive a copy of his book titled Things that Matter.  Krauthammer is a Pulitzer Prize Winner.  This is a #1 New York Times Bestseller, and over one million copies have been sold.  The book discusses three decades of passions, pastimes, and politics.  This is a great read if you are a conservative.  

This book starts out with some great information on Charles Krauthammer.  He really is a very interesting man.  I was intrigued by the fact that he did not start out as a columnist.  Did you know that he is also a physician?  You might be familiar with Krauthammer if you watch Fox News.  

This book is a very interesting read.  Krauthammer touches on so many things in this book.  He discusses things that matter.  What does this mean though?  To him it means a number of things, but mostly things that are morally and ethically right.  What matters to everyone is different, of course.  This book is loaded with information that explains why the country is the way it is now, and how it got to be like this.  He often uses his personal experiences to explain things.  Krauthammer discusses leaders like Clinton, Reagan, and Obama.  My personal favorite part in the book is the epilogue because it touches on how Obama is running this country.

You can learn more about this book here.  This truly is an interesting read if you want to learn more about Krauthammer's insights on politics.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.

Profoot Foot Care Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I have suffered with problems with my feet for years.  Actually, it has been since high school.  I have very narrow feet.  That makes it a big challenge to find shoes that fit me properly.  I have bunions, and have had those since high school too.  The Dr. was actually shocked that I had them at such a young age. I was recently introduced to Profoot's foot care products.  I was so excited to receive these because I am always looking for products that will make my feet feel much better.  Profoot offers a variety of products like orthotics, inserts, shoe stretchers, and more.

Triad

Plantar Fasciitis


I received two different kinds of orthotics from Profoot.  they offer orthotics for both men and women.  I received a pair of Plantar Fasciitis Othrotics.  These are designed specifically to reduce heel pain.  they are made of Vita-Foam.  My mom suffers from heel pain from time to time, and she will be using these in her sneakers to reduce the pain, and provide her heels with much needed comfort.  I also received Profoot's Triad Orthotics.  This is a great orthotic to put in your closed toe shoes.  The orthotic is specifically designed for those with knee, leg, and back pain.  They are a great orthotic to add some extra comfort to your shoes.  I found that they are comfortable to wear, and that I truly feel better with these in my shoes at the end of the day.  These are easy to use and you simply slip them into your shoes.




Profoot also offers Shoe Stretchers.  Have you ever bought a pair of shoes, and then realize way later on that they are a little too snug in some places?  The Shoe Stretchers expand shoes and provide extra comfort and relief.  These can be used to help relieve pinching and bunion discomfort.  The Shoe Stretchers are easy to use, and they can be used near the toe and heel.




Profoot's Heel Rescue cream is perfect to use morning and night.  This is a foot cream that is extra moisturizing.  It is enriched with Argan Oil.  It is designed to help dry, scaly, and cracked feet.  This is not just for feet though!  It can be used on knees, elbows, and hands.  This feels great to apply on tired feet at the end of the day.

You can learn more about all of the Profoot Foot Care products by visiting their website.   You can also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.

I chose a pair of contacts from LensFlavors that transform my eyes into something amazing.  I chose the G&G Shiny Aqua Circle Lenses.  These are a 3 toned lens.  The lenses come with a case, and the lenses themselves can last up to a year.  These are a comfortable pair of lenses that do not irritate my eyes either.  I have very sensitive eyes.  The lenses are some of my favorites.  I plan to wear them frequently.  I always have people asking me about them too when I wear these.  I am sure that you can see why!
