World's Best Cat Litter for Picky Cats - My thoughts as a seasoned foster mom



So I'm leaving my thoughts here as a foster mom of between 5-7 cats/kittens at all times plus my own two cats. I wanted to try Picky Cat because I have tried World's Best Cat Litter before and didn't like it. I tried the regular kind and the lavender scented one. They both flopped in my foster room. I also wanted to try it because I wanted something to attract the young kittens to the litter boxes more instead of random corners. My one personal cat also is stubborn to the point of pooping in the bathtub or random spots around the house.

So I gave it a go and mixed it in little by little as instructed. When the litter goes down fresh it is really pleasant. You get no dust and it smells nice. After a couple of days of heavy use I have noticed the litter grinding down to a fine sand. It can become a little dusty around where the cats go in and out. The smell is what bothers me a lot after its been used. It will take on a scent of barnyard. I feel like I'm sitting in the middle of a petting zoo farm. I am meticulous to keep the boxes cleaned at least twice a day. I did notice most of the cats gravitated towards the box with the Picky Cat in it. (I left the other two without it to test)   So the cats like it but the kittens didn't have less accidents.

I used some Picky Cat in my cats personal box. He is the pooper! He used it as usual but it also didn't stop him from pooping in random spots as usual. I did notice that if this litter isn't used in a heavy traffic area then it's a bit better on the consistency and smell over use.

So the cats didn't mind using it and maybe a few preferred it. I would probably use it as a sprinkled additive to help attract them to the box more but that would be the extent of it. It is a little expensive but the coupons help relieve that. I only found the litter at Petco so it kind of is a letdown I couldn't find it at Walmart or Target locally.



Here's a video I made of my thoughts

To Be Honest… Growing up Isn’t Easy! Help is Here! Shampoo & Conditioner Review



The choices of hair care products for adults in general can be a bit overwhelming. There are so many miscellaneous chemicals in products these days so what can you trust? It's hard enough to think about yourself but when you're a parent you have to worry about these chemicals going into your kids hair/body.



I'm always aware of simple things I can pass onto my kids and trust it will work without throwing them into some sort of allergy fit. I love ingredients I can read and trust. I know I wanted to try To Be Honest Shampoo and Conditioner for them. My daughter's hair is curly so its extra hard to find something nourishing for her. They both loved the packaging and thought the product smelled good. They are 13 and 14 years old so it's tough sometimes to catch their attention with needed products for everyday hygiene.

So what's in these products I got to try out?






TBH™ Shampoo is a gentle formula that cleanses and nourishes the hair. Nettle, cedar bark and sage work to help control sebum (oil) levels on the hair, while maintaining pH balance.

TBH™ Conditioner is a lightweight formula that detangles, moisturizes and adds shine to hair without leaving any build-up. Jojoba, nettle and quinoa along with Vitamins B & E help to control oils and condition hair.





What's the verdict? Everyone loved the shampoo and conditioner. They commented and said the smell was really good. I even used it myself to try it out and thought it was great. I think they are happy to have their very own shampoo and conditioner in the shower caddy. Their hair looks really good and smells fantastic. I'm so happy the kids are being a little more proactive with their personal hair care. My daughter thinks the conditioner makes her hair a little more manageable which is really important.

How awesome is that?

Silky Swedish Beeswax Lip Balm Lypsyl - The Best Kept Secret for Soft, Hydrated Lips!


My lips are always getting dry so I decided to check out this new lip balm I have never seen or heard of before. It's called Lypsyl and the packaging is adorable. It's just green and creme colored packaging but on the side of it is a tiny yellow bee that is the slider for the lip balm itself.


I'm not a fan of dipping my fingers in flat lip balm pots nor do I have the time to take a lip brush to apply. This is super convenient and I can keep one in my purse easily. It's minty so if you don't like the feeling of fresh tingly hydrated lips then this might not be for you. I actually like that feeling because it makes me remember that I have it on and it's working. If I feel dry on my lips then I feel uncomfortable. This will definitely come in handy later on in the Fall and Winter weather. I love to use this under application of my lip sticks to make for a creamier and more natural appearance.

#lypsyllipcare


Here's a list of ingredients in this wonderful lip balm

Ingredients

Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Petrolatum, Beeswax (Apis Mellifera), Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, Ceresin, Beeswax (Apis Mellifera), Flavor, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Retinyl Acetate (Vitamin A), Bixa Orellana (Annatto) Seed Extract



Check out Lypsyl's FB page here: https://www.facebook.com/lypsyllipcare/

You can buy Lypsyl at your local Walmart or online : https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lypsyl-Intense-Protection-Lip-Balm-Original-Mint-10-oz/10824509

Freedom Foods Barley + Toasted Muesli



I tasted this with my whole family and we all had key points to agree on together. You don't need a large bowl of this because just a little bit goes a long way. I think any type of milk with compliment this cereal. I actually think vanilla flavored soy milk really compliments the taste. My personal favorite was the Cranberry & Nuts variety. The Pink Lady Apple was a tad sweet but still good. I am not so sure I like the packaging of the cereal inside and didn't care for the foil type bag. I would suggest putting the cereal in a canister or container after opening. This would be excellent on top of a yogurt snack or you can even make your own home made granola bars if you don't opt to buy their already made ones. The blueberry bar that I tried from them was good and I had no complaints. Your tummy will feel good from just having this type of cereal as a snack compared to others loaded with sugar. The texture was fantastic. I'm sorry that I did not get to try the Maple & Nuts but might visit it later on at the grocery store. If I could change one thing I would probably think to add some honey clusters into the cereal.

You can find this wonderful cereal at your local Wegmans which is where I found it. I'm sure it's also available at any health food store.

Rachel Ray Nutrish Inner Health Cat Food FULL Review Influenster 2018




My cats are already familiar with Rachel Ray Nutrish since its the food I feed them every single day. The Inner Health variety is something new for them but they seemed to like it as I poured it in a bowl and they went right for it. I loved the simple ingredients and the fact that the color is natural brown. I have moved my cats off dyed foods a long time ago with Rachel Ray and love it. The food itself doesn't have a bad smell and the small bits are easy for my cats to eat. So happy with my free sample and I think my cats are thrilled with it as well.

Drippin' in Finesse! Treating my hair to Finesse MAX Deep Conditioning Keratin Treatment with results


I've always loved Finesse shampoo and how it has made my hair feel/smell. I , of course, wanted to try out this deep conditioning keratin treatment. My hair is not pin straight naturally so it was cool to see how this Finesse MAX Deep Conditioning Keratin Treatment worked with my natural hair and after I used the straightener (hot iron) on it. I enjoyed both results very much. I usually keep my hair in its natural state because my boyfriend likes the natural waves in it.


With just 5 minutes a week in the shower after shampoo use I am able to keep my hair looking its best. My hair looks very healthy , full and shiny. I usually shower at night so you can see how my hair looks the day after using Finesse shampoo and keratin treatment together.


I want to show you more photos on another day of how my hair looked naturally. The lighting is not the best indoors but you can see how the camera focused in on my dark brown hair which is the focus of the treatment results.




Now that you have seen my natural results I want to show you how the results turned out for straight hair using the hot iron.



I also made a video showing my hair and how it feels.


My hair smells wonderful and feels fantastic. I'm so happy with the treatment that I will be buying some more for future use.

You can find Finesse MAX Deep Conditioning Keratin Treatment at your select Target stores. I recommend checking Target.com to find the closest store with it.

 It's also available for purchase online at Target.com
It's only $1.79 for the packet online so it's an affordable option to keep your hair healthy.

Finesse shampoos, conditioners, and styling products are available at super affordable prices at top mass, drug, and food retailers nationwide (i.e. Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Shoprite, HEB, Publix).

Getting in some "Me Time" with Yardley Soaps


What does “Me Time” mean to me? Relaxing in the shower after a long day of cleaning up after my foster kitties. I seriously am cleaning up after my little furry orphans the whole day. It's so worth it though when they go to their forever homes.



 What else is my Me Time? I like to indulge in a few video games here and there like Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch and PUBG. I don't get much gaming time anymore but other things have become more important, Meow! There's always a little time to do what you love to keep your identity bright and apparent. Never give up on your hobbies.



So getting back to these amazing soaps!! I actually have tried Yardley soaps in the past and I thought they were smaller so I think the size may have been improved. I also think the lather seems better and the soap seems to last longer than I remember. I'm so happy about it and enjoy every minute of my shower. I can't help myself but to even re-wash myself a couple of times over with it. It makes me feel great!



 Getting that spa treatment feeling is everything especially when it’s affordable. I’ve seen Yardley soaps at my local Rite-Aid but you can find them at Walmart and Walgreens as well. You can buy them for just $0.97- $1.49 per bar. ( Talk about Beauty on a Budget ) Whether it’s Oatmeal & Almond, English Lavender or Creamy Coconut I’m sure to have a luxurious shower!



Check out below for more info on these wonderful soaps.
