Tips for a Safe Pet Holiday

November 23, 2016 by Alisha 6 Comments

Tips for a Safe Pet Holida

This will be our 2nd Christmas with our dog, Murphy.  The good thing is that he’s pretty much done with all of that annoying puppy chewing and destroying of things that don’t belong to him…LOL!  But that doesn’t mean that he won’t become curious with all of the the commotion going on during the holidays.

Keeping your furry family members safe during the holidays can be a difficult task. Many pet parents plan to include their furry companions in the festivities. This holiday season, it’s important to be mindful of your pet’s eating and exercise habits. Also, remember to steer pets clear from harmful toys and other gifts. Dr. Julie Hansen, DVM, cVMA is the Program Chair of the Veterinary Technology program at Argosy University, Twin Cities. [Read more…]

Mull Over the Holidays with the Perfect Drink – Mulled Sweet Wine with Cognac

November 21, 2016 by Alisha 4 Comments

I don’t know about you but this time of year always seems to creep up so dang quick!  A few days ago it was almost 80 degrees in Nashville and now its in the lower 50s.  Mother Nature can’t seem to get her life together and let folks deal with temperature changes gradually.  She likes to just toy with our emotions and drop the temp 30 degrees overnight.

The good part of this sudden arctic blast of air is that now I can actually get myself into the holiday season.  The bad part is that even the cold weather isn’t getting rid of my Grinch mood.  If it wasn’t for being a parent I would probably just throw a Christmas wreath on the front door and call it a day.  I’m determined to wait until Thanksgiving before we put the tree up and I’ve got the perfect drink to get me in the mood.

Last year I shared a mulled wine recipe and it was a big hit.  This year we are kicking it up a notch by adding cognac.  If you’re planning to host parties this year, this drink will be sure to get everyone in the holiday spirit!  And the best part about making this drink is that you don’t need any fancy ingredients that can only be found at that one store 20 miles away and cost a small fortune.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups good red wine
  • 1/2 cup cognac
  • 1/4 rosemary honey
  • 2 1/2 cups honey crisp apple cider
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • orange slices
  •  6 whole cloves

Derevos: Natural and Stylish Solution to Protecting Your Pet & Yourself!

November 17, 2016 by Alisha 1 Comment

This past Summer I took Murphy to get his usual face, feet & fanny trim.  Came home with a puppy with less fur but more problems.  He had a tick on him and fleas!  Ugh!  I searched all over Google for some tips and tricks to try and naturally get rid of those pests and nothing worked.  Ended up buying one of those expensive collars but hated that it was so full of chemicals.

For many of us, our pets are more like family. They’re our best friends, companions, and keep our families from harm’s way- making it that much more important to keep them healthy and safe. And while we usually have only the best intentions when using flea and tick collars to keep pesky insects off of them, most don’t realize what kind of harsh chemicals we’re putting on our furry family members. In fact, the toxic sprays and repellents are incredibly dangerous, the pesticides commonly found in most flea collars often contain propoxur and tetrachlorvinphos (TCVP), which pose significant threats to both pets and humans.

Derevos is the revolutionary cedar wood pet collar for dogs and cats with powerful flea and tick repellent without harmful chemicals. Not only is cedar wood is the world’s natural defense against insects and fungus, but Derevos collars also boast stylish designs and pleasant aromas that pose no threat to pets or their families.

See why Derevos is quickly becoming the top choice of pet owners:

  • Safe for pets and their families: Contains no harmful chemicals or poisons
  • Long-lasting: Lasts two to three months, add a protection plan and be covered for 5 YEARS! You can also rejuvenate flea repellent by applying cedar oil to the collar
  • No more plastic collars: Choose from several beautiful Eastern Aromatic Red and Siberian Cedar Wood designs
  • Great for your pet and you: Derevos also offers bracelets and ankles. No more mosquito bites!

Halloween Ghost Nail Art

October 10, 2016 by Alisha 16 Comments

Boo!  Did I scare you?  I love playing around with different seasonal nail art even though my skills suck I still like to have delusions of grandeur and pretend I’m this amazing nail art designer…LOL   I don’t know about you, but I’m still trying to figure out where in the heck this year went. Before you know it, Christmas will be here and I haven’t even started shopping for that.

Since I started doing MANICure Monday posts on my blog, my addiction love for polish and all things related to nail art has grown… a lot!  Along the way I’ve followed other people’s blogs and joined several groups.  While on google+ I stumbled across a nail art group.  Some of the work is simply amazing and I feel it should be shown in art galleries…seriously!  One of my favorite nail crushes is Margriet of 365 Days of Nail Art.  She was on a journey of doing nail art every day for 2014 and she finished!  Now that ladies and gentlemen is no small feat.  While trying to get some ideas for how I wanted to do my Halloween nail art I immediately fell in love with her orange/black gradient with a witch riding a broom.
