Did you know that you could sign your dog or cat up to receive a monthly box of goodies? Since Jack loves getting presents particularly when they’re in the form of a new toy or treat getting him a monthly subscription is a no brainier. I recently tried out Pawalla (products are based on pet size and age) and not only did I like what the box had in it, Jack absolutely LOVED it especially the squeaky lion. I think getting this box is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it if you have a dog or cat. Have you ever tried a monthly subscription for your pet?

 What was in the box: 
• REDBARN Naturals Lamb-BAA-DA (I couldn’t give this to Jack because it was wet food)
• REDBARN Naturals Stewey Louie (I couldn’t give this to Jack because it was wet food)
• Balloon lion squeaky toy (Jack LOVES it)
• I (heart) Pet Head Dry Clean Blueberry Muffin Spray Shampoo (LOVE)
• Dynamo Dog Salmon Treats for skin and coat (Loved)
• Dynamo Dog Pumpkin and Ginger Treats for digestive support (Really Loved!)

Yesterday a friend invited me last minute to lunch at the beach. Since I hate showing up empty handed I made up a quick batch of kicked up crackers. They’re the perfect summer time snack and simple to construct. I used half a box of each Cheez Its and mini club crackers, combined with 2 tablespoons dry ranch dip mix, 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (2-3 tablespoons for a real kick) and 2 tablespoons of oil.  Mixed around in a bag and placed in an airtight container.

DIY: Citrus Summer Bouquet

During the warmer months I love to give vases an extra touch of color by adding citrus slices. Peonies (from my parents backyard) paired with lime slices offer the ideal pink and green accent to any room. You can see what I have done to vases previously here and here.

Step 1: Cut up your citrus slices.

Step 2: Place a smaller vase inside a larger vase (or container of your choice).

Step 3: Fill the outside portion of your container with citrus slices.

Step 4: Stack your citrus slices on each other.

Step 5: Pour water into the inner vase and enjoy your summer bouquet.

The Best Sunscreen: For Your Face

On Monday I had a dermatology appointment and we got talking about sunscreen. The conversation was so informative I knew I had to share what I had learned with you! One of the common problems with people avoiding putting sunscreen on their face is the fact it’s oily and will cause breakouts almost instantly. Well Dr. Julie recommended some great over the counter sunscreens that will not only protect your skin from aging, but also prevent breakouts.
