Orivet: Feline DNA Testing Review

Orivet: Feline DNA Testing Review & a Giveaway

There is no doubt that Maggee chose us, when we went into the room to “get to know”: her she jumped in my lap and then my husbands. We took that as a very definite move towards he choosing us.

Not a lot was known about our girl, we know she was shuttled between homes due to issues beyond her control, and had a litter of kittens. We both love our girl so much, we want to know more about her including her health and hereditary things that can affect her.

When I had the opportunity to get her DNA tested by Orivet I was super excited to glean a little more about a creature that I really know nothing about.

Marlo’s Bakeshop: Gluten-Free Banana Bread Soft-Baked Biscotti Review + Giveaway

Confession time – I love bread. While I love all kinds of bread, banana bread has always been the top of the list as my favorite. The day I learned I could make my own banana bread was a revelation, and no doubt changed my life. One of my favorite times to have a slice of banana bread is with a cup of tea, so when I learned that there was a biscotti version from Marlo’s Bakeshop of my beloved bread, I had to try it.

Needleart World: Diamond Dotz Kit – Sweet Treats Review

Diamond Dotz Diamond Embroidery Facet Art Kit: Sweet Treats Review + a Giveaway

I have always been into crafting and creating something that I can add to my home with pride knowing I am the one who created the item. Generally I have stuck to a couple crafts including knitting, cross stitching and regular stitching, latch hook and scrapbooking.

A couple of months ago I was surfing around Instagram and saw a new type of craft available, called Diamond Dotz. The basic idea was the there was a group of symbols that correlated to a number and color of dotz. Once placed on the adhesive surface they would stick and then together create a beautiful image.The technique is refered to as a Diamond Facet Art Kit

I reached out to Needleart World to see about getting a kit to do a review and they were generous to send me “Sweet Treats” for review, and I have never been more excited to step outside my craft comfort zone.

Pure Growth Organic – Snack and Cookie Review

Our 8 Favorite Products from Pure Growth Organic and a Giveaway

Before I began blogging, I did not give much thought to the idea of organic products and what was in my food. Since that time I have learned and have taken that education into each item I eat. When I recently received a box from the organizers of the Natural Products Expo I was pleased to see popcorn from Pure Growth Organic. As I began learning more about this company, I learned that organic items only make up for 5% of US food sales, and snacks are only 4-5% of that number.  Continue reading →

Luseta Beauty: Biotin & Collagen Shampoo + Conditioner Review

Luseta Beauty: Biotin & Collagen Shampoo + Conditioner Review & Giveaway

As I get older, I have noticed that my hair is not as full as it was when I was young. My friends and family used to ask if my hair was put in an electrical socket because it was so frizzy and full. My hair seems to grow easily, but the thickness is missing and the braids are thinner than they used to be.

Recently I saw that Luseta Beauty released a new shampoo and conditioner with Biotin & Collagen and since i have had such great results with other Luseta shampoos and conditioners I wanted to see if the result would be the same this time around.

Eazee by Foolee: Dust and Flea Comb PRO70 Review

Spending More Time With Maggee and the Eazee Dust & Flea Comb Review & a Giveaway

As I have mentioned in the past, Maggee loves to be brushed. This works well for us since she has dense fur that numbers in the billions. We have a routine, and part of it is we diligently brushed her each night.

A couple of months ago a fleas infestation overtook our home, and our cats. I discovered this by taking an old flea comb and attempting to brush the fleas and dirt away. The comb I had was for an old family dog we had and it’s teeth were unevenly spaced. It worked but not nearly as efficiency or fine teethed as I would have liked. When I saw the new Eazee Deshedding Brush had a Dust & Flea Comb Attachment I wanted to try see if this could help Maggee and get those fleas!
