The Pink Steering Wheel Chronicles - a book review for you

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday and happy on the way to mid July holy smokes where does the summer go!

The fam took the Independence Day holiday to be more like a week. There really didn't seem to be a point to working the beginning of the week or the end of the week - so we didn't! We just enjoyed adventures, cook outs, swimming, movies and books!

I received a copy of The Pink Steering Wheel Chronicles by Laura Fahrenthold for review from the publisher, and boy am I glad I did! Normally, this isn't a book that I would pick up since I normally only read diy, self help, finance and film manuals, though this is a gem of a read!



This is a love story. A true story. An inspiring story. And a life lesson manual all rolled in to one book.

The author, Laura Fahrenthold, and her two teenage daughters set out across the country in an RV to help heal the sudden loss of a most beloved family member.

Laura doesn't hold anything back. Her work as a journalist for Woman's World and The New York Daily News shines in her conversational writing style and the telling of her journey in a story format that is both entertaining and relatable.

What I enjoyed most in the book is how Laura related the death of her daughters father, and let them have a say in  their healing process and what to do on the journey to help them move forward.

These gals learned hands on the RV lifestyle and took the daily situations as they happened. It's refreshing to see someone live life with such gusto while such sorrow and sadness was waiting to just consume them.

If anything, this book can be read as a life manual for what to do when the love of your life suddenly collapses and dies.

Get this book on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2m255JI

She has a fun blog that is keeping updates on what is going on with the family, post pink steering wheel adventures!

Never Have Another Junk Food Craving Again

This is a TotalBeauty.com diet article

Bet you didn't know that binging is your body's cry for help. Instead of beating yourself up after every late night snack, find out why you're having that sweet or salty craving in the first place. This guide's got the answers, plus the healthier alternatives.

What is your body telling you?

Hello Gorgeous,
I really enjoy the lifestyle format of the blog because it gives me a broader platform of products to experience and review. I was recently sent a sample of this book "Turn It Up!" by Ron Eckerman, the tour manager for the legendary southern rock band Lynyrd Skynrd.

I read and enjoyed stepping backstage with the author and his day to day duties of wrangling the band which at times seemed like herding cats. There are so many explosive personalities that were charged part by pure talent and part by drugs and alcohol.

This is a quick and easy read that gives a snippet in time account of what life was like for the band on the road.

I enjoyed it and think it makes a great stocking stuffer gift for holiday giving. I found it listed on Amazon.com for $9.95 and Kindle edition is available. So check it out and 'turn it up'!

Turn It Up!



Lynyrd Skynyrd was the definition of Southern Rock. The iconic band, the American Rolling Stones, lasted only four years under the leadership of Ronnie Van Zant. Ron Eckerman was with them the last two of those years, and had a unique view of the band's meteoric rise from 2500 seat venues to performances in front of 500,000 fans. Meet these unlikely rock stars and experience life on the road as the group rips its way across the USA. The road life is revealed from a unique point of view, as well as the effects on personal lives and tragedy of the untimely plane crash.
