I have a bit of a fear that I am going to leave my phone somewhere.  Especially at a concert because I always have so much other stuff on my mind (and usually my camera is my top priority).  So it was especially convenient that that Phone Fetcher I received to review came the day I would be going to a concert.  While I’ve never actually left my phone anywhere, I do get paranoid I will leave it. (Actually, that’s a lie. I once left it at work on my desk charging and realized half way home. I ended up leaving it there since I could go a night without it, totally forgetting that the alarm would be BLARING when my coworkers made it in oops! If I had phone fetcher attached to my belt loop or purse, I would have noticed that the phone was not attached and remembered to take it home with me!)

Phone Fetcher will remove that fear for me.  How it works is, there is a bungee cord that connects to your phone through the headphone jack.  The other end of the cord has a clip on it that you can attach to your pants or purse or anywhere else that you think it’ll help you remember.  I’ve tried mine attached to my belt loop as well as hooked to the strap of my purse. I’ve often “lost” my phone in the bottom of my purse – which is kind of ridiculous because my purse isn’t that big, but with Phone Fetcher I can gently pull on the cord and find the phone attached to the other end. (I say gently because I don’t want the connector to pull out of the phone – it could mess up the headphone jack and will also defeat the purpose of being able to find the phone!)

Phone Fetcher comes in a variety of colors (see above) and a silver chain model will be available in the next few weeks!

PhoneFetcher doesn’t just need to be used for a phone either.  It can be used for anything with a headphone jack – so you can make sure you won’t lose your MP3 player either!

Mother’s Day is coming up – PhoneFetcher could be the ideal gift for your mother!  Or, if you’d like to think waaay ahead – PhoneFetcher would work as a great stocking stuffer!

PhoneFetcher retails for $9.99 and can be purchased at PhoneFetcher.com but I have 1 to give away to a lucky ConcertKatie reader! US winners only.  Contest ends May 18 at 12:01am EST.

It has been roughly 10 years since I’ve been on a date.  I’ve always been too focused on my school work to bother with dating and then once I started working I was too busy with everything else to find time for it.  Maybe, it’s time to get back to looking for someone to date. (Although part of me is saying “nahhh”.)

Is This The One? is “insightful dates for finding the love of your life.” The book is by Steve Arterburn and includes some tips that I think might be helpful and others I am not sure if I am going to use (but who knows).  For instance – he suggest that when you think you are dating someone that you really like – take a break and date 10 other people to make sure that they really are the one.  This seems a bit ridiculous to me – and he also said that he dated TWENTY people. I’ve always been told “when you know, you know” so I’m not sure why I would need to go and find 10 other guys to prove this to me.

Also included in the book are “themes” for dates.  Different things you can do together to learn more about each other and dates for pretty much every holiday. Some of them seemed like they could work. Others, not so much. (A camping date? I don’t think so!)  As well as some “red flags” on what type of people you might want to avoid because they might not be the best relationship material. (I am pretty sure I could read advice like this until the cows come home and I will still pick the worst guys ever to date.  Maybe this is MORE of the reason why I haven’t been on a date in 10 years)

But if you are looking for ways to make your dating life a bit more interesting and also knowing things you should think about before you make the commitment to someone else to marry them until death do you part… you might want to check out Is This The One?

I received a free review e-copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in order to write this review. I was not otherwise compensated.

About the Book

In Is This the One?, Steve Arterburn-an award-winning author and the founder and chairman of New Life Ministries, the largest faith-based broadcast counseling and treatment ministry-has created a “how to” plan for happier, stronger marriages. He contends that living in a “no regrets” relationship can be as simple following this spiritually solid and personally drawn plan before the first “I do” is even spoken. Host of the number one Christian radio broadcast, “New Life Live!,” Arterburn draws a painfully personal portrait of the devastation divorce has on a family. Rather than aiming at marriages already in jeopardy, Arterburn focuses attention on the beginning of relationships-before the commitment, before the emotional investment, before the children. He prescribes three sets of ten carefully devised dates designed to help couples reveal their true colors and clarify whether or not they are a compatible match. This practical, personal, and positive plan can impact marriages-and ground the skyrocketing divorce rate-as no other book has. Is This the One? is a must read for engaged or dating couples, happy singles, concerned parents, and anyone who wants to make better decisions about who to marry and who to leave behind.
