The Cat Backpack: Take Your Indoor Cat Outside with You Safely

By Leave a Comment

I learned about this neat pet cat backpack while browsing social media posts. It makes a lot of sense if you have an indoor cat and want them to experience outside safely every now and then.

The mesh sides and top front allow them to enjoy the fresh air comfortably while being safe inside. Zip it up just as you would a regular backpack. There is a zip up pocket on the side for storing small items, like treats. 
This cat backpack makes it easy to take your kitty on a short hike or walk in the park on a sunny day.

This Cat Backpack Lets You Take Your Indoor Kitty Outside to Experience Mother Nature Up Close

Take your cat on a test run in your backyard first to make sure she/he is comfortable and ok being inside of the backpack.

You might also want to treat your cat with Revolution or your trusted flea treatment if you plan to have a picnic or let her/him out during your outing. 

Cat lovers who visit pet stores that allow pets can feel a little more relaxed bringing them inside when there are dogs around.

If you have kittens or small cats it might be ok for two, but I’d probably recommend one cat at a time.

It’s a well-made, good quality backpack. Another smart solution for cat lovers!

By Leave a Comment

After enduring a number of losses over the past few years, I noticed that I was experiencing an increase in digestive issues. Having to run to the bathroom, gas, and other uncomfortable symptoms. My mom (who was one of those losses) always touted the importance of taking probiotics.

Prebiotic Probiotic for Women Organic

I found this probiotic, specifically made for women and I am so glad that I did. It’s supposed to be taken every day, and I’ve found that even every other day it is helpful. But if you are really struggling, you might decide to make it top of the list every day. Just read the ingredients to understand why it would be good for a woman’s health, particularly when managing digestive symptoms. This is worth putting on your subscribe and save list.

How to Increase Your Water Pressure | High Pressure Shower Head

By 2 Comments

Though this shower head may not give the desired water pressure I would LOVE to have (the feeling of tiny beads raining on my skin like a gentle massage), it has significantly increased the flow compared to my old one. I can feel more comfortable getting into the shower and washing my hair now.

Have lower water pressure in your shower? This shower head just might help increase your water pressure.
Increase the water pressure in your shower.

In the past, for some reason I thought that changing out a shower head was something complicated, but it’s actually very easy.

“Leftie loosie,” turn the old one off the spout, then “rightie tightie” the new one on, preferably with a wrench. The box also includes sealant tape that you can wrap around the spout to ensure a snug fit. If you’re dealing with low water pressure issues in your bathroom, I would recommend this water pressure boosting shower head until you can get a handle on what might be causing the issue.

By Leave a Comment

It can be difficult to find just one hair care product that you can go to reliably for consistently lovely results. This light hair oil, with strengthening properties, is one of those products. It adds shine, makes your hair smell great, and is infused with biotin to benefit even the most dry and difficult hair.

If you’re trying to grow your hair, make it feel a bit softer, or want to keep it moisturized, Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil is a good pick. You only need a bit of it, about the size of a nickel or quarter (depending on your hair length). Work it through from the scalp to the ends and put on a heat cap if you’d like. Use it consistently to see the results.

A Convenient and Durable Cat Litter Trapper Mat

By Leave a Comment

My cats are rambunctious, have been since they were little kittens and not much has changed now that they’re 8 years old. They manage to track litter all over the room where the litter box is, so a mat is a necessity to minimize the need for regular cleanups.

Keep your floors clear from cat litter messes.

This cat litter trapper mat is a great value for the money, considering that you not only have a way to trap litter particles before they can make it to the floor or carpeting, but you also can recycle that litter and pour it back into the box if you choose. The honeycomb holes are the perfect size for litter capture and to allow them to scratch if they feel so inclined. The material is very strong, so you can count on keeping this mat for a year or more.

Help for Dry, Crackly Feet – Dr. Scholl’s Ultra Hydrating Foot Peel Mask

By 1 Comment

During the pandemic, I think many of us have started to neglect certain matters of… hygiene. One in particular for me is not getting regular pedicures because of concerns about spending a long time indoors at a public business. So my feet have been struggling a bit, become flaky, dry and crackly.

Hydrating Foot Peel Mask for Dry, Crackly Feet

I decided to try these hydrating foot peel masks, and I’m so glad I did. I followed the directions, leaving the masks wrapped around my feet for a bit longer than suggested. Meanwhile, I kicked my feet up and relaxed, watching something on streaming. When I took them off, I had layers of old skin literally peeling off of my feet. It was kind of disgusted but very satisfying at the same time. The result was the very smooth, supple feet I had in the past. I will purchase them again in the future, 5 stars!
