There's all kinds of tea infusers out there right now but I couldn't help to notice these super cute kitty ones from Zooki Gifts on Amazon. They come in two pretty colors together which are pink and grey. This is good because you can differentiate a friends cup of tea over your own. I can't get over how adorable they are! Talk about something that is kawaii and something any cat lover would adore. I love just having them in my kitchen and it fits in well with me since I foster cats. Check out the link below if you are interested in buying yourself a pair.
So I recently loss the adapter plug for my old scale. Actually, I didn't lose it but my foster kittens completely chewed through it while I was asleep one night. It's okay , I totally forgive them. This scale could not have come around at a better time for me. Sometimes I have to ship stuff out when I sell on eBay. I usually sell small items like jewelry or figurines I find at my local thrift shops for cheap. This is something I NEED to have on hand to weight my packages/envelopes when I'm getting ready to ship it out to the customer. So here is my review of this wonderful scale.
I love this little scale but with it had a plug in feature with an adapter. It uses 3 (AAA) batteries which are included thankfully. I didn't need this for my kitchen but instead needed it for weighing boxed items that needed to be shipped out. This is pretty accurate and I have tried it with unopened products that had the ounces of the product on the label just to check. It was probably a couple of ounces over but you would have to take into account packaging weight of said product. The temperature feature is interesting but not needed. You do have to set the time when you first put the batteries in which is simple enough. I like to stick with the ounces but it will switch over to show the lbs if it goes over 16 ounces. It's so lightweight and has been very helpful for my purposes.
So I decided to try out raw activated charcoal powder for many different things. Right now I could tell you that my favorite use was for teeth whitening. Some people use this for their skin and I'm still trying to think of the best way to use it for my underarms. I need to mix it with some honey to form a paste I can let sit. It's supposed to lighten up dark underarm but I wanted to see if I could possibly detox my underarm altogether to peel back stench. I will write more on that subject later on when I get to do it but for now I did try teeth brushing.
This particular pack of charcoal powder is triple bagged. This stuff can get messy so please be aware. This might also stain things. I recommend removing any hand towels nearby.
I probably used a little bit too much because it says to sprinkle it on the brush. I just let the bristles get moist and dipped it gently into the bag itself. You can put some charcoal powder in a jar just for this use.
I didn't think to take a before picture but I did an after shot. I honestly saw my teeth looking a little whiter right after just one use of this process. I'm sure if you used it a few times a week and you have bad yellowing of the teeth you will notice a dramatic difference. This is way easier than teeth whitening strips or toothpaste for sure. This is also cheaper than whitening strips in the long run plus you can use it for multiple things. #MoodyZookAC
I wish I could find more information for myself when I first started fostering cats and dogs. I actually made an in depth video explaining everything. Check out my video on my Youtube channel below. It's about 13 minutes long but worth it if you are seriously considering fostering animals. Placement is EVERYTHING when it comes to animals. Plan ahead and everything will go smoothly for you and your foster cat /dog.
Also, if you are fostering a bigger dog then I do recommend having a large crate instead of a pen like this especially if they have a background of chewing or being rambunctious. This playpen only works if the animal is relatively calm or smaller.
I also want to take the time to thank Litter Genie for providing a Litter Genie pail system for my foster animals. It has been quite helpful. If you don't know what the Litter Genie is I shortly explain it in my video above. Feel free to view the photos below to see how I put it together.
A helpful tip is to pull the bag down a bunch so you don't have to cut it often. Believe me, I have about 3 days worth of waste from 1 adult cat and 5 kittens with no poo/pee smell whatsoever and I still haven't cut it off. I'll probably cut it off tomorrow and roll it down again.
It doesn't take up much space at all and I just have it standing up by the litter box. The kitties don't even touch it. I really like the black and grey neutral design it has on it now. I had the old one before and this one is definitely better looking for my preferences. (I remember the old one used to be plain white)
Hey all you table top gamers out there! I thought I would share my most recent purchase off Amazon just to show you what comes in this pack. I got the Treaty of Champions expansion. I kind of wish I would have posted all the sets I got just to give people a little bit of eye candy on what comes inside the set. You see, Fantasy Flight on Amazon thought it would be cool to just put the stock photo of the box and nothing else. I just thought it was kind of ridiculous they didn't show the contents. I already posted pictures for those possible customers to view and so I will do so here just in case anyone decides to try and google it up. Ya'll can thank me mentally. :D
I usually don't travel much by air but I do often have cat and dog transports since I foster. It's always nice to have something light and airy for my car. My eyes are always peeled just in case I see an animal in need. Sometimes I find kittens outside and sometimes I just have to travel out to the vet.
Introducing the Fur Caddy! This lovely little bag can haul your small pet around comfortably. I tested this out with my foster kittens. They all took to it and loved laying in there. The bag itself is quite attractive (I'm partial to grey). The straps were sturdy and the bottom of it has nice grips.
I think I will be putting this in the back of my car for animal emergencies. Thanks to the Fur Caddy people for sending me out one for my fosters! Awesome company :}
Thanks to VOGUE Jewelry for the beautiful necklace. It's chunky but comfortable to wear and gives a nice pop of color to any outfit. I need to get dressed up more often to show it off now that it's getting nicer out. This necklace will look nice with Spring dresses. This same necklace comes in a silvery metal look but I think I love this one better.
