Slim Wallet with RFID Reviewed

Many years ago, I discovered the convenience of carrying a wallet in my pocket instead of a purse. I've always hated the "bulge" created by a wallet, but fashion can't always be the priority in life for most of us.

In my teen and young adult years, I always carried a purse. During those years, it never really occurred to me that there was an alternative. Handbags were not only a normal accessory for females, they were often a fashion statement. I enjoyed selecting and changing my purse to match my shoes. Without really meaning to, I had quite a collection of purses in my closet. However, motherhood changed all of that for me and the "practical" replaced my business pumps and purses.

I quickly found out that trying to balance a baby on my hip, a diaper bag and a purse, was simply overwhelming for me. I had to reduce my daily "luggage" and I certainly was not going to leave my child behind. Therefore, the purse had to go!

Because I had to have my drivers license, I opted for a small wallet that I could carry in my pants pocket. I hated leaving behind my wallet of photos, but that sacrifice had to be made. I remember it really was an adjustment for me at the time.

My children are adults now, but I have never returned to carrying a purse. In fact, my wallets have been streamlined and the hated wallet bulge has disappeared.

My Slim Wallet

Slim Wallet RFID Front Pocket Wallet Minimalist Secure Thin Credit Card Holder (Waterproof Grey)Check PriceAfter a few decades of carrying a thin wallet that resembles a pocket with a flap, I recently changed to a slim wallet. You wouldn't even notice that I was carrying this flat wallet in my back pocket unless you were intentionally looking. When we went hiking recently, I actually carried it in the upper pocket of my vest and could barely see the outline of the wallet. Again, I doubt most people would even have noticed it.

I admit, I have had to get used to having an "open" wallet, but I definitely prefer the flat construction.

This slim wallet has built-in RFID blocking material which allowed me to eliminate one card I was carrying in my wallet. There are 6 card slots and a front clear ID window for my driver's license. The top loading pocket is perfect for folded dollar bills.

These slim wallets come in a variety of colors. While I don't think it is necessary to match my wallet to my shoes, it would be possible if I wanted to just for fun!

The Cowboy's Redeeming Love Historical Fiction Book Reviewed

The Cowboy's Redeeming Love Christian Historical Fiction Book Reviewed

The Cowboy's Redeeming Love by Chloe Carley

My favorite book genre is historical fiction romance. I've read a few books in that genre written by Chloe Carley and love them all. I previously reviewed one of her other books here on Review This, "The Stubborn Sweet Bride". Therefore, I was recently thrilled to discover "The Cowboy's Redeeming Love" while searching for a new book.

I expected The Cowboy's Redeeming Love to be a good book with a somewhat typical "all's well that ends well" story-line. However, it turned out to be a unique and excellent historical romance.

Chloe Carley has once again written a fiction book that tells the story of a young woman who meets evil face to face here on earth and goes to extremes to get away from it.

The Cowboy's Redeeming Love Synopsis

Brianna Tompkins' previously wealthy father decided to move his family to California so he could quickly restore his families worth via a gold mine. Apparently, he believes the gold is just lying around waiting to be claimed and would be an easy way to get rich again quick. Without fully knowing, or considering, the environment he would be taking his privileged wife and daughter into, he loaded a wagon and headed west to stake his claim.

The Cowboy's Redeeming Love:
An Inspirational Historical Romance NovelCheck PriceHaving been raised in affluence, with servants attending to her every whelm and need, Brianna is scarcely prepared for the changes she would be required to endure. Her lifestyle had previously protected her from the harsher elements, work, and vices of the world. She had only known abundance, silks, refinement, ladies and gentlemen.

Neither Brianna nor her mother wanted to go, but Brianna's father assured them all would be well. They would make their fortune quickly and return home, back to the lap of luxury.

Since readers have the benefit of historical knowledge, we already know, the Tompkins family is in for a rude awakening. However, even we wouldn't expect both parents to die, leaving Brianna in the hands of a mercilessly evil man who stakes his claim on her. With her refusal to readily accept Percy Smythe, he has her brutally beaten and held captive, allowing her time to embrace her new reality as his wife.

The Cowboy

The Sutter family is leaving their home in Kentucky and moving to California to help Mr. Sutter's aging brother, Otis, on his ranch. Along with his wife, Cora, Mason Sutter and their 3 grown sons, Morgan, Spenser & Riley, packed up their wagons and headed west. The family stopped along the way to visit Cora's sister and found her sister recently widowed. Cora and Mason decide to stay on in Missouri to help Cora's sister, but send the boys on ahead. After all, Otis Sutter is expecting them to help him through the upcoming winter.

Since it was just the 3 young men now, they were able to move much faster, stopping in small towns along the way for rest and supplies. However, they found some small towns were not "friendly" or "inviting" to outsiders. That was the case in Percy's Crossing. Even though it was only 20 miles from their uncles ranch, they needed to stop for the night, but Percy's Crossing was not an option for them. They rode another mile before they settled in for the night with a warm fire, to sleep under the stars.

When a small figure entered their camp and set down in front of their fire, only one of the sleeping brothers was awakened by this nearly silent intruder. Morgan expected a child when he slipped up on the little intruder. Instead, he discovered a badly beaten woman and she had either fallen asleep or passed out when he reached her. He decided to let her rest and covered her with a blanket. The following morning, as the sun started to rise, the little intruder was terrified when she awoke and found herself surrounded by 3 big men. She had no way of knowing the three brothers would not harm her. All she knew was that she had to get away, and stay away, from Percy Smythe.

Morgan offered to let her travel with them to their uncle's ranch, where she would be offered a safe haven. She reluctantly accepted. After all, Brianna didn't have anyone else to help her and she had no where else to go.

Are You Ready to Read the Book Yet?

I have only given you the set-up for the story. I'm sure you already suspect that Percy Smythe is not going to just let Brianna disappear into the night. The title and book genre will likely also tell you that one of the brothers will fall in love with Brianna. What is not obvious is that they are not allowed to just live happily ever after. Evil continues to dog them in the hopes of possessing it's prey.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Movie Review

Spider-man is one of the best known Avengers. All over the world, people recognize Spider-man and love him!

If you are a Marvel comics fan, most likely you knew the names of all of the Avenger superheroes long before they became superstars on the silver screen. However, movie-goers have been entertained by the friendly neighborhood Spider-man for decades and he has been able to stand his cinematic ground all alone. Multiple actors have had the opportunity to don the suit and become our favorite young hero. However, none of the previous actors have represented Spider-man better than Tom Holland.

In Spider-Man: Far From Home, we are reminded that Peter Parker is a teenager still in high school and not a "man" as his superhero name would imply. He simply happened to be the one bitten by that radioactive spider when he was 15 years old. He may have the physical strength of some of the other Avengers, and he may be extremely smart like the Hulk or Tony Stark, but he is still "just a kid". If you have seen The Avengers Infinity War, you will recall that Tony Stark (Ironman) loved Spider-man for his intelligence, his enthusiasm, his natural defender instincts, and his natural physical abilities, but Tony also tried to protect Peter.

Unfortunately, Peter Parker no longer has his Ironman protector and he has to face a fierce opponent without the aid of any of the other Avengers. Plus, he has some really hard personal decisions to make.

Spider-man: Far From Home Movie Synopsis

Spider-Man: Far From HomeCheck PriceAs Peter Parker is making plans to go on his class trip to Europe, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) is calling. We all know, when Nick Fury calls it is important, and you better answer. However, Peter doesn't want to "play" superhero this week. He wants to go on his trip with his classmates. So, he ignores the phone calls. He even intentionally does not pack his Spider-man suit. Peter is determined to enjoy his trip! But, as they say, the best laid plans of spiders and men often go awry. (You know they say "spiders"!)

When Peter is stopped by customs and his luggage is searched, he sees that his Aunt May added his Spider-man suit for him, like any good parent or guardian would do, of course. That turns out to be a good thing, because Peter isn't in Venice for long before he needs that suit.

When Venice is attacked by a water monster (Water Elemental), what appears to be a new superhero, flies into the scene to defend the city. However, Spider-man is soon needed to help protect the people in the area and his suit is back in the hotel. Peter realizes he can't just let the surrounding buildings fall on his friends and other tourists. He goes into action with only a carnival mask to hide his identity.

Once the Water Elemental is defeated, Peter finally meets with Nick Fury who gives him a gift that was left to him by Tony Stark. It seems Ironman has entrusted Peter with his most precious legacy. (No spoilers here. You will have to watch for yourself!)

Peter is also officially introduced to Quentin Beck, who has now been publicly dubbed Mysterio since he so heroically saved Venice from certain destruction. Peter is relieved to have another superhero around to talk to and to fight alongside. It seems Beck is content to be Peter's new mentor.

For comic fans, you will already know all about Mysterio. You will recognize him immediately. However, for those who only follow the stories through the movies, this film will reveal several tremendous revelations for you.

A Must for Avenger Fans

There are many reasons to love the movie, Spider-man: Far From Home. It is delightful, funny, and entertaining, but for Avenger Fans, it holds greater significance as a continuation of the beloved Avenger movies. The Endgame was definitely not the end!

Missing in Beaver Falls Mystery Reviewed
Roni Rainer Mysteries Book 4

The Roni Rainer Mystery Series written by Beverly Owens is my favorite cozy mystery series ever. I find the characters easy to love and fun to know. There have been times when I wished they were real life people so I could interact with them. I would really like to sit down and have a long chat with Kitchi, the old Mide.

Roni Rainer, the main character and owner of the Revived up-cycling shop, is always trying to help everyone around her. That is a character I can easily respect. I have no doubt we would be immediate friends. Her employees, Charlotte and Clay are just quirky enough to adore, yet also wish to protect.

Charlotte's ability to take something useless and make it into a work of art, fascinates me. While I enjoy recreating the item described in my minds eye, I would love to see them in reality.

Missing In Beaver Falls

Missing In Beaver Falls
(Roni Rainer Mysteries Book 4)Check PriceWhen a local girl goes missing, the town is divided on what they believed happened to her. Some believe she ran off, while others believe she was abducted.

Most of us already know, new residents in a small town are not always immediately embraced, especially if they arrive with an arrogant attitude. Being attractive and young doesn't help either. The local girls often feel an immediate dislike due to jealousy. After all, single men are limited and the new competition is not appreciated.

Tiffany Abbott was not well liked by most of the residents in Beaver Falls. While they appreciate her ability to cut and style hair that best flatters every face, that is the extent of their praise for her. However, the men seem to find her very appealing. Her admirers include Zack Maxwell, a young, local deputy.

Several of the Beaver Falls residents are empaths, which literally means they are "a person with the paranormal ability to apprehend the mental or emotional state of another individual." Because they have visions of where Tiffany is, Roni believes Tiffany is alive and she starts searching and watching for the things that have been "seen" by the empaths.

To find out what really happened to Tiffany Abbott, you will need to read "Missing in Beaver Falls". This book could be read and enjoyed alone. However, if you wish to really get to know the characters, you might prefer to start with Book 1, Death Takes A Spin: An Up-cycling Mystery.

Easy Carry Fabric & Collapsible Travel Dog Bowl Reviewed

Don't Leave Home Without a Travel Dog Bowl!

We were surrounded by lake water, but Merlin drank cool, clean water
from his Good2Go Collapsible Dog Bowl

We enjoy taking our pups for walks, we even take them on longer hikes with us. After all, none of our dogs have ever wanted to be left at home when we go on adventures. However, it is important to remember they have needs too when they are away from home.

Think about it. When you go on a long walk or hike, what do you need? We always carry water with us. We don't rely on the possibility of coming across a water fountain or running water in a stream. Dehydration is serious, so why take unnecessary risks. Not only do we carry water for ourselves, but we carry a canteen of cool water for our dogs.

How do we give our dogs a drink, you may ask? Easy! We carry a fabric, collapsible dog bowl in our back pocket.

The Good2Go Collapsible Dog Bowl

For many years now, we have carried this fabulous and durable fabric dog bowl. It is so lightweight, you don't even notice it, but you are most grateful to have it when needed.

Dogs can dehydrate just like we can. They may be a lot cuter than we are when they are panting and slowing down, but the lack of water can be serious.

When dogs are thirsty, they tend to drink whatever water they come across, including stagnant dirty water. We all know the dangers of drinking stagnant water. It is easily contaminated and can harbor all kinds of parasites and bacteria.

We love our dogs enough to take them with us instead of leaving them at home. Why wouldn't we also love them enough to provide for their needs by simply taking water and this easily pocketed dog bowl along for the walk.

We also use this water bowl in the car when traveling. It is easy to set it down and let them drink from their doggie travel bowl.

Once we are back home, we wash the bowl inside and out with dish soap and allow it to air dry. Then, it is ready to go again when we are!

I can't recall when we first purchased our Good2Go collapsible dog bowl, but I do know it has been many years ago. It still looks brand new.

We Have the Good2Go Water Bowl, but there are other collapsible fabric Water Bowls Available. Choose Your Favorite!

Aquaman Movie Review

Hold your wild seahorses and prepare yourself for the latest, greatest DC Comic movie superhero, Aquaman!

Many of us are already familiar with Jason Momoa because of his previous leading roles in Conan the Barbarian, Braven and several other movies. He has an impressive television series list of roles as well, which include Game of Thrones and more recently, his starring role as Declan Harp in the Netflix series Frontier. As a matter of fact, I would go so far as to say he had a large established fan-base long before he was cast as Aquaman. However, he is now and forever ingrained in our minds as the magnificent Aquaman and everybody knows his name!

Before I saw the movie, I was told that there were a lot of women who normally would never go see a DC Comic movie, who willingly volunteered to take their sons to this movie just so they had an excuse to go. There was no need to worry. There are plenty of adult women without children who love Aquaman. It is not just a movie for children, or men.

Aquaman, DC Comic Movie

Aquaman: Special Edition (2018) (DVD)Check PriceWhen a lighthouse keeper discovers an injured woman on the beach, he didn't expect the world to be forever changed. However, that is exactly what happens when Thomas Curry discovers Atlanna (Nicole Kidman) washed up on his beach in Maine.

Tom has no way of knowing that Atlanna is actually the queen of Atlantis, the underwater kingdom. He carries the unconscious female up to his lighthouse home with the intention of getting her medical attention. When Atlanna awakens in the strange place, she has a strong reaction to the unusual noises around her, as well as the fish in his fish tank.

Atlanna and Thomas fall in love and Atlanna forsakes her father, her kingdom, her underwater tribe, and her previous commitments. Sadly, they are not left in peace for long.

Soon after Atlanna gives birth to their baby, Arthur, members of the Atlantis army find her. She realizes she must return to Atlantis, and to her previous responsibilities, in order to save the lives of Thomas and their son.

Aquaman - Arthur Curry

During his elementary school years, Arthur realizes he has special powers. He can communicate with creatures of the ocean and they readily respond to him with fierce loyalty. He also becomes acquainted with Nuidis Vulko (Willem Dafoe), a friend and confidante' of his mother, who was sent to train him to wield a trident and to fight.

Arthur discovers he can breathe underwater and swim like a dolphin. He becomes a defender and superhero in the ocean, but he continues to live on land. He is easily recognized by everyone, but he doesn't recognize or desire to claim his own birthright.

As the son of the queen, he should be king of Atlantis, but his half-brother sits on the throne and plots to be Ocean Master, ruler of all of the tribes of Atlantis. He also has plans for land dwellers.

In case I forgot to tell you, I Love This Movie!

Aquaman was not previously as well known as some of the other DC Comic superheroes, but this movie has made his anonymity a thing of the past.

Hamilton Beach Rice Cooker Reviewed

An inexpensive rice cooker that everyone should have in their kitchen!

I love rice, but I always hated the mess on my stove-top created by the sputtering pan. I have several friends who have commented over the years, that their rice would burn on the stove if they cooked it according to the package instructions.

On the stovetop, Riceland Rice, the brand I prefer, should be cooked on a low boil, covered for 15 minutes. You are not supposed to lift the lid or stir the rice for 20 minutes. I have always believed my rice did not burn simply because of my brand of cookware, and not because my friends were doing anything wrong.

Regardless of the cleanup required, I cook rice frequently. After all, cleanup is just a part of cooking and I do enjoy cooking.

When my children were in school, there were mothers who found their solution by buying a rice cooker. However, it wasn't until this last Mother's Day that I discovered the real beauty of a rice cooker in my own kitchen when my son gifted me with a Hamilton Beach Rice Cooker.

Hamilton Beach Rice Cooker Review

Hamilton Beach (37518) Rice Cooker,
4 Cups uncooked resulting in 8 Cups Cooked
Comes with Steam & Rinse BasketCheck Availablity & Price
See Below for Newer Model I want to start by saying, I really love this rice cooker and I wish I had it decades ago. It is so easy to cook and clean with this fabulous little cooker. Plus, it doesn't take up very much storage room. Because I use it often, I leave mine out on the counter, but it would be small enough to store in a standard kitchen cabinet.

I have yet to experiment with all that this beauty can do for me, but cooking the rice without a mess is enough for me to recommend this cooker to anyone. It came with a small steamer basket, which I look forward to testing soon by steaming fresh vegetables. The basket can also be used as a colander for rinsing.

You can cook white or brown rice, beans, hot cereal, hot soup and grains in the cooker, in addition to steaming vegetables.

The cooking pot has a nonstick coating and is dishwasher safe.

To Cook White Rice in the Hamilton Beach Rice Cooker

Simply add 1 cup white rice, 1 teaspoon of butter, dash of salt and 2 cups boiling water into the cooker pot.

Set the pot into the cooker and close the lid.
Plug in the Rice Cooker

Select Warm, then Select White Rice

The cooker will auto set the timer to the default timing and auto-adjusts the time as it cooks. (usually takes about 35 minutes to cook the rice according to my recipe, but let the cooker auto-adjust itself)

When it has finished cooking, the cooker automatically switches over to a warming cycle to keep the rice warm until you are ready to serve.

Rice Cooker Vs. Instant Pot

I want to note that I do have an Instant Pot, which I also love. The 8 cup rice cooker is perfect for rice or sides. It is smaller and lighter-weight than my Instant Pot, which makes it much easier to store. However, I could never cook my Minestrone Soup in it. I need my Instant Pot for complete dinner size meals.

If you have space for both, I highly recommend having both the 8 cup Hamilton Beach Rice Cooker and the 6 Qt. Instant Pot Pressure Cooker.

Note: A few days ago, I needed a housewarming gift and thought this would be the perfect gift. However, I noted that my model (37518) was no longer available "new". Therefore, I purchased (37519 - shown on the far right below). Other than a slightly different color control panel, it is exactly the same in size and function.

Fall Hollow Waterfall on the Natchez Trace Parkway Photos & Review

Tennessee Travel

There are lots of spectacular places to stop along the Natchez Trace Parkway. The Fall Hollow Waterfall, located near Hohenwald, Tennessee, is only one of the fabulous spots of heavenly beauty here on earth.

The Natchez Trace Parkway is a scenic two-lane highway that follows the historical old Natchez Trace trails and roads used by American Indians, explorers, and travelers for centuries.

The parkway stretches through 3 states (Tennessee, Alabama & Mississippi) and preserves important areas in American history, as well as preservation of the natural beauty. The highway is a 440 mile stretch between Nashville, TN and Natchez, MS. Not only is it a beautiful drive, but it has stopping areas that are perfect for picnics, hiking, taking photos, or simply breathing deep and enjoying nature.

Hohenwald, TN is also a great place to stop for gas, food, or even for the night, as you tour the Natchez Trace Parkway and discover the natural beauty of the South.

Tennessee is home of the stunning Fall Hollow waterfall and surrounding trails. You can easily see the waterfall after a short walk on the trail that starts at the parking area on the side of the Natchez Trace Parkway. It is a beautiful sight!

We opted to climb down the steep path to the bottom of the waterfall to experience the full adventure. It is a well worn trail created by natural stone "steps". However, I used the word "climb" because I don't want to mislead readers by referring to it as a walk, which evokes the image of straight, level ground. I did have to use my hands several times as I moved from one step down to the next step. Many times in our descent, I worried about slipping on the wet stone and preferred to find my footing on the surrounding grass and mud instead. The trail is narrow and drops off down the hillside. It would be easy to get injured if you are not careful. By the way, we also took Merlin, our Labrador Retriever, with us. He hopped those stone steps with the agility of a deer. I was extremely proud of him. Of course, he frequently had to stop to wait on me, as I was literally climbing down using my hands for support.

Fall Hollow Waterfall Path photo by Cynthia Sylvestermouse

I snapped this photo of the path before
we started our hike back up. This was the
easiest part of the path to the waterfall

I don't wish to dissuade anyone from taking the path down to the bottom of the waterfall. But, this trail could be very dangerous because it is steep, slippery and uneven. By all means, wear proper climbing clothes and hiking/climbing boots. This is not a casual walk through the woods. While I was dressed properly with my selection of jeans, I was wearing Keds canvas snickers. Not the best choice for shoes on this waterfall trail. I was careful and I know my own limitations. I didn't hesitate to balance myself with my hands or knees, but next time, I will wear my hiking boots.

It was necessary for me to stop a few times to catch my breath on the climbing hike down and also on my way back up. Be prepared to pace yourself. Don't try to hurry. Besides, stopping for a rest gives you time to look around at the surrounding vegetation, flowers, and streams.

Well, that does work well, as long as you don't look down the side of the drop-off!

Fall Hollow Waterfall Photo Collage of Surrounding Area

I did not take water down the hill with me and I was fine. However, we were there in the spring. On a hotter day, I would have required water. Therefore, I recommend a lightweight shoulder strap water bottle for this trail.

Warning About Hiking to the Bottom of the Fall Hollow Waterfall

Fall Hollow Waterfall Stone photo by Cynthia Sylvestermouse

The photo on the right is a picture of the type of stone steps on the trail down to the bottom of the waterfall. As you can see, they have a slick surface, which is why I often opted for the grass or mud at the side. It would have been very easy to twist my ankle though.

For those who have health or mobility issues, heed the posted warning sign and do not go on beyond the observation deck area that provides seating where you can easily see the waterfall.

If you have any concerns, fear of heights, are already fatigued, or unsure about climbing the hillside for any reason, allow wisdom to dictate and stick to the deck. You won't be disappointed by the view.

I do not recommend the path down to the waterfall for children or most pets.
