I got to try some NOYA lip balms recently and was really impressed with them. They work well and I love the flavors they come in — especially cherry and vanilla!

But you know what I love best about NOYA lip balms? They are truly made with all natural ingredients. There isn’t anything in them that you don’t know exactly what it is.

For instance, the cherry lip balm only has the following ingredients in it: Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Flavor, and Organic Stevia. All other three lip balms just have similar ingredients in them!

They also have a cool opportunity for those who are interested: NOYA is also allied with the National Health Care for the Homeless Council and will donate one lip balm for every balm purchased, if you send them a picture of your newly-purchased lip balm. Plus, if you submit your picture, you’ll be entered to win year’s supply of lip balm for you and a friend.

Be sure to follow NOYA on Facebook and Twitter. Or, check out their website for more information.

NOYA is generously giving 15 winners a set of four lip balms. You’ll definitely want to enter to win! Just click on the graphic below and type in your name and email address.

I love wall decals. In fact, they are one of the few home decor things I’ve actually pulled off (er, rather, stuck on) myself!

They can transform the look of a wall or part of a wall. Best of all, they are inexpensive, easy to put on, and can be easily removed.

I really enjoyed reading The Pursuit of Elizabeth Millhouse. It’s a well-written novel that tackles a lot of issues many of us have battled with.

Here’s the description:

Spanning the calamitous turmoil of a World War and the deadly Influenza plague of 1918, The Pursuit of Elizabeth Millhouse is a spellbinding portrait of a young girl’s struggle against the travails of modern loss and faithlessness.

Born to privilege and wealth, Elizabeth Millhouse is the only child of a tense and loveless relationship. Sequestered to a boarding school at a tender age, Elizabeth is ordered to stay at school even through holidays. When she is finally allowed home for the first time, it is only to visit a newly-affectionate father on his death bed.

After prayers for her father’s recovery are denied, she rejects God and determines to live her life without reference to Him. Left alone with a cold and distant mother, Elizabeth seeks to forge her own path, searching for permanence and love in a world where circumstances shift like quicksand beneath her feet.

Personal loss and the revelation of her own history build to a sudden understanding—in closing herself to God, she has denied herself the very love she craves.

For a first-time author, I was very impressed blown away by the depth and quality of this story. It pulled me in and I had trouble putting down — which means that I considered it a good read. :) In addition, I was blessed and challenged by the message of God’s faithfulness woven through the pages.

This book is available via Amazon, Kindle, or Barnes & Noble. Follow author Amanda Barber on Facebook to keep up with her latest projects.
