Ava’s Destiny A short story By Citty Kat
All of us fantasize every now and then about relaxing on a white sand beach, with a Mimosa and a cool breeze just a the right time. Well while you are sitting there and enjoying the sun, i want to recommend a good read to you. This book is called Ava’s Destiny. Think, Sex & the City makes a baby with 50 Shades of Grey. It has the lifelong friends, the kinky sex and an added bonus one of these people are not human at all. The author is a well know Kansas girl herself and used a popular Kansas destination as the setting. “When it came to inspiration, i wanted to use what was familiar and mix it with what i love...mystery.” Say Ackov. Ashia’s first passion will always be fashion design, but on the side, she enjoys writing. To give you a little preview but not spill the tea, Ava, the main character, Journeys out for a night on the town with two friends. She wasn’t expecting to find the man of her dreams but maybe he found her. I don’t think Ava was really ready for what this mystery man had to offer. Pick up a copy of this mini mystery, It comes in two parts and the ending will leave you gagging. http://www.lulu.com/shop/ashia-ackov/avas-destiny-a-mini-suspense/paperback/product-22 841867.html

Misfitz Hatz When it comes to the fashion industry, the styles change like the wind blows. You know, sometimes the wind blows in circles, round and round. We brought the 70’s back, the 80’s even 90’s grunge a while ago but I had something else in mind. Mixing and matching classic styles with whatever is trending right now in your life. By Ashia Ackov
Misfitz hatz are a division of Mismatched Misfitz Clothing, so that alone cries unique. The hats are handmade individual items with meticulous detail. Each glass bead is sewn on. The reason they are sewn and not glued is to make sure they are quality that will last you for years to come. Right now, Misfitz Hatz has a 30% off special on select hats and hair accessories. Not only that, we make hats by request. If you are going to a party, need a New Years’ accessory, Wedding fascinator or Halloween SteamPunk Hat; simply drop us a line and tell us what you need. When we say bringing sexy back, that means what makes YOU feel special, what makes you shine bright and stand out. We just want to help you reach that level of excellency.
By Phantom Let’s
face it, video games make the world go round. There are
gamers of all ages as young as 3 and as old as 70. The videogame revolution has taken us by storm and it is not going anywhere. It will only evolve and get better meaning that VR play is the next big thing. In the midst of larger gaming companies, we had a sit down with DeVonte Harris. He along with his friend Ninna created a Facebook Fan page for Nintendo lovers so i had to ask, what keeps Nintendo on top. Nintendo isn’t to focused on graphics, in which case graphics can get you far. Nintendo is built on nostalgic history of games that are notorious in the gaming industry. The ones that have attracted me are multiplayer for sure, but don’t get me wrong; i also love fighting, racing, single players and RPG. But, the adventure is in playing with friends. Yoshi is still my favorite character after all these years. Mr. Harris was then asked about the facebook fan page. Nintendo Gamers. Even though it isn’t the largest fanpage on Facebook, Founder, Ninna Loureiro has gathered almost 5,000 fellow gamers across the world who also enjoy the Nostalgic feeling Nintendo gives so many. “ Ninna and I have both been a fan of Nintendo forever, it was her idea to design a page that allows fans to share ideas, retro talk, and share excitement for new Nintendo releases such as “Wizards: Home”. For us, dissecting the thoughts of a true gamer has been a pleasure. https://www.facebook.com/NintendoGamers1/?fref=ts
