A 20 hour plane ride (not including the first 3 hour plane ride + however long wait time to connect) would not  be manageable without a decent pair of headphones. Headphones are not just necessary to listen to music, but to watch movies, tv shows, and other videos. They are also necessary to drown out the world and to escape from everyone. Thank God for my Sony Noise Cancelling headphones! they truly are ah-may-zing! They are definitely high quality. Once you insert the included battery into the battery compartment and turn the headphones "on", they really do focus on the music and drown out all other sounds from the rest of the world. It's wonderful! Don't believe me? Turn the off and listen to music regularly, like you usually would. you'll hear the difference. and there is  a difference. Such a major one, in fact, that when I switched "on" to "off" to back "on" again, I went "Woah!". Honestly, I thought all the hype over...

Living Happily Ever After...Separately by Lise Stryker Stroessel I would give this book a 3.5 not quite 4 stars. It was a quick and easy read. The author voiced a lot of concerns that married couples with some problems go through. The author and her husband found something that worked for their relationship. She does point out that this "option" is not for everyone and suggests counseling and/or support when considering living apart. This is not a how-to manual. It is the author sharing her experiences and hoping to help others consider something other than divorce especially if the couple still loves one another and are committed. She does discuss spirituality briefly and its relationship to the individual and joining lives with another, but it is not overbearing or preachy. The book reads more like an article series and not really a complete self-help book . This a nice, light read.

Lady GaGa has teamed up her Born This Way Foundation with Office Depot! There is a collection of products you can purchase at Office Depot where a portion of the money will go to the Born This Way Foundation. These items include bracelets, Sharpies, Post-Its, and gift cards! Each product includes an inspirational reminder on it! These reminders are Be Brave, Be Amazing, Be Yourself, Be Kind, Be Accepting, and Be Involved. People should be reminded of these things daily, and these products are a great way to remind yourself! I think its really interesting that after you use the giftcard, you get to keep it as a keychain (it has a hole in it for a chain) to be that reminder for you! Honestly, I think it's a really good idea and I can't wait to use mine! :)re

This guest post is by Marissa Carmel!  You plan, God laughs. This is the story of my life. There are ideals and expectations I assume everyone has; whom you will marry, what your career will be like, where you will raise your kids. And yes, I had all those ideologies in my head, except mine were more like, have a career, don't get married and absolutely no kids. Boy was I wrong. Today I am married with two kids, and living in a state I only passed through on occasion. And my career? Well let’s just say, I have more than one, and I never saw that coming. Who needs more than one career?  Apparently me.  To make a long story short, I started my first career as a logistician, yawn, I won’t bore you with the details. The second career came shortly after. I've always loved to write. Always. My imagination constantly runs away with itself, and I am without doubt following it. My best subject was creative writing. So when I would write, it was primarily for me (or a good grade)...

This guest post was brought to you by Blue Dot Literary and Allen Wyler! THE CHALLENGES OF WRITING A MEDICAL THRILLER People who read medical thrillers are usually interested in medical details, just as readers of legal thrillers find law interesting. What is difficult is adding sufficient medical detail to satisfy a reader without making descriptions or facts boring. This is one reason I try to move my stories along at a fast clip. Thrillers are intended to thrill, not lecture. Fast pace, good plot, interesting characters are the elements that should be in a medical thriller. THE RESEARCH BEHIND DEAD END DEAL This is a blitz-pace thriller about a Seattle neurosurgeon who, while in Korea, is framed for a murder. Now hunted by police he must evade a professional hit man while trying to find a way back to the United States. I figure it’s Three Days of The Condor meets Michael Crichton. I got the idea for the story when I was a guest lecturer at a medical school in Seoul, South Korea...
