Recently I was out for a walk with Jack and the neighbor stopped me to ask if Jack could have an Alligator treat. My first reaction was \”no\”, i\’m really picky about the treats that I give Jack. Then she informed me that they\’re made in the USA (bonus!) and started to read off the ingredients – the first one being alligator and each one following it I actually knew what it was. 
I allowed Jack to have one and he was absolutely hooked. If you haven\’t tried these with your pups yet I highly recommend them because we give them FOUR PAWS UP! All the neighbor dogs would agree too.

Kissable Lips

We all have our little beauty secrets, and today I’m spilling the beans on getting perfectly kissable lips:

Fresh Sugar Lip Polish
Massage a small amount onto your lips. Rinse with a damp washcloth. During the colder months I use it every morning or evening. Otherwise I only use it 2-3 times a week.

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment
I use this immediately after I have rinsed off the lip polish. It’ll leave your lips feeling incredibly soft and smooth. Throughout the day I use Burt’s Bees chapstick.

Must Try Beauty Buys: January

{Zoya Naturel Satins}
Zoya Naturel Satins: This is the quintessential collection to transition from winter to spring. Every color in the collection is gorgeous and I love that the polish finish is a hybrid between a matte and glossy finish. Since I love learning about products from other’s I decided that every month I am going to share my favorite products with you that you might not hear about otherwise.  For January it was all about saving my skin from the sub-zero temperatures. So without further ado here are my favorites:

True Blue Spa – Cracked Heel Treatment: I don’t know about you, but the winter wrecks havoc on my poor feet. Since getting a pedicure every week is an unreal option I use this treatment and then immediately put socks on to lock in the moisture. It’s a miracle worker.

Violife Personal Misting Humidifier: This product is a game changer. If you live in a cold climate – like I do, you need this bad boy in your life! It’s small enough to take with you everywhere and only requires a standard size water bottle. Trust me your skin is going to thank you.

Le Mieux Hyaluronic Serum: This is a winter must-have for me. It replenishes the moisture in my skin and essential leaves it feeling super hydrated. I use it in the morning and evening.
Geluxury Slippers: A spa-like treatment from the comfort of your home? Sign me up! With regular use (I wear mine nightly) the slippers will soften and smooth dry, rough skin and calluses, as well as repair damaged cuticles and nail beds. My feet have never been so soft in the winter.

First Date Mistakes

First dates are enough to send anyone into a panic attack. Will he like you? Will you like him? Did you wear the right outfit? Are you talking too much or too little? Before, your date, take a deep breath, calm your nerves and remember to smile. Here are five mistakes you don’t want to make on the first date.

Pre-dating. Ever looked up your date online (Google or social media) before meeting them? Not only does it increase the risk of you canceling it can mess with potential chemistry that naturally develops.

Not preparing for the date. It’s important to look and feel your best on a first date, which means you need to prepare a little. Have your outfit picked out ahead of time. Make sure you give yourself enough time to get where you’re going, park and prepare yourself mentally for the date. Remember you want to put your best self forward.

Leading with physical. If you come off as too physically available, he will be thinking about getting into your pants instead of about a long-terms relationship with you.

Put your phone away. It’s inconsiderate to take calls or text. Period end of story.

Don’t talk about your exes. Your date does not need to know the deets about your break-up, divorce, child support or custody arrangements.
