My Review~

We had such a blast putting the costume on our cat and then parading her around. I do not think she had fun at all but we did. I love everything about this costume. It was soft and looked adorable on her as you can see by this pics below. Whether you plan to make your pet’s costume yourself or go with a store-bought option, you’ll need some inspiration. This product is all the rage. No matter what costume you choose this Halloween, we’re sure your pet will look cute as a button! It was so very easy to put on Harley.

I highly recommend this product and give it my thumbs up. You can order one for your very own by going HERE.

7 Natural Remedies for Anxious Dogs

Reviews · October 22, 2018

Anxiety is common among dogs and can be caused by a number of things, sometimes based on their personality type, and sometimes situational. This anxiety can manifest itself in a number of ways including excessive grooming or licking, constant barking, acting aggressively to members of the household, eliminating indoors, and destroying everything in sight.

While many anxieties, such as separation anxiety, can be improved through a process of training and conditioning, as well as positive reinforcement, some dogs need calming down before this training can begin, and others are anxious in general as opposed to for a specific reason. In these cases, there are some natural remedies that you can try. Below are some of the best options often recommended by veterinarians for anxious dogs.

1. Exercise

In the same way that exercise is a really good stress reliever for humans, it works in the same way for dogs. Exercise stimulates the production of serotonin, the happy hormone, which helps to relax while improving mood. It also helps to relieve the dog of any tension and pent-up energy that could be contributing to the anxiety. Whether you run, hike, or even play fetch with your dog in the park, all of these activities could help to lower the levels of anxiety your dog is feeling.

2. Distraction

Distraction is a good solution for dogs who tend to get anxious in specific situations, such as when fireworks go off, or when in a crowd. The trick here is to engage with your dog’s brain so that he starts to focus on you, and the things that make him feel safe, as opposed to the things in the exterior that are making him anxious. Some dogs find that toys such as puzzle balls and Kong toys filled with peanut butter help. Other pet owners find that rewarding their dog for following commands such as ‘sit’, and ‘walk’ also helps in these situations. Plus, there is a long-term bonus here as well. As you reward your pet during stressful situations, he should begin to associate them with positive thoughts instead of frightening ones.

3. Massage

You may laugh, but it is definitely possible to give a dog a relaxing massage, and it can help to relieve their anxiety as well. TTouch is a popular form of dog massage. Invented by Linda Tellington-Jones, it involves performing circular movements with your fingers and hands all over your dog’s body. The aim of TTouch is to activate your dog’s cells while awakening cellular intelligence. It sounds scientific, but your dog should end up feeling much more relaxed. In addition, studies have also shown that giving your dog a fuss can do wonders for your own stress and anxiety, so this method is a win-win for both of you.

4. DAP (Dog Appeasing Pheromone)

Research has shown that certain scents can help to quell a dog’s anxiety. One of these scents is DAP. A synthetic chemical, it is based on the hormone produced by lactating dogs. The scent of this helps puppies to relax and increase their bond with their mother, and it is believed that the same scent is effective in adult dogs for lowering levels of anxiety. While no research has been done to show just how effective it is, it is worth trying if your dog tends to be anxious on a regular basis. DAP can be placed into a plug-in diffuser with each vial lasting around thirty days. Humans aren’t able to smell it so you can place it in the room where your dog spends most of his time without worry.

5. CBD Oil

CBD oil is a relatively new phenomenon that has been proven effective in reducing anxiety levels in both dogs and humans. As this site shows, it is available in both a tincture and a soft gel capsule. If your dog finds either of these hard to swallow, you can also purchase CBD dog treats, which taste just like beef. CBD oil can be used to treat both general anxiety and situational anxiety and it has no known side effects, making it a popular choice with pet owners throughout the United States.

6. Music

Humans aren’t the only species that find music relaxing, and you may be surprised to discover that your dog finds it as beneficial as you do. In fact, some pet owners make a point of leaving the radio on when they leave the house to help pets suffering from separation anxiety to calm quicker. There are even specific music compilations available for dogs that are intended to lower levels of anxiety, Through A Dog’s Ear being one such compilation. The music from Through A Dog’s Ear has been specifically designed to be simple and minimizes the intricate auditory information found in the majority of music, so that it calms anxious dogs.

7. Thundershirt

A popular solution for dog anxiety, the Thundershirt wraps tightly around your dog providing him with a feeling of constant pressure. The thought is that this pressure helps to calm a dog’s anxieties in all manner of situations, including noise anxiety and travel anxiety. Surprisingly, there isn’t much scientific evidence to prove that it actually works. However, with that said, a lot of pet owners have found it to be incredibly beneficial, and many now swear by it as a means of calming their dog down. How well the Thundershirt performs may depend on the personality traits of the dog it is used on, as well as the specific situation in which it is used. Either way, it is a good option to try, especially if you use it in combination with some of the other natural treatments we have described above.

It isn’t uncommon for a dog to have anxiety in the same way that a human does. However, before you rush off to your vet for a pharmaceutical treatment, it’s worth giving one of the above natural remedies a try. You can always discuss this with your veterinarian beforehand

Looking Your Best Needn’t Break The Bank

Reviews · October 22, 2018

Image

Hello everyone. Do you want to look your best but have a slight concern about spending too much on your clothing choices? Don’t worry; you’re not alone. I still ask myself “do I need to buy this?” on a regular basis. However, I have found ways to reduce the financial strains without compromising on the look. And you can too!

Here’s how.

Appreciate The Season

I know, I know – it’s almost impossible to resist and end of season sale. However, buying summer outfits that won’t be worn for another six-to-eight months is never ideal. Besides, next year’s hot colors and other trends may be completely different to what we’ve seen in 2018.

Ultimately, an item that will be thrown away before you’ve ever worn it is a waste of money regardless of the discount. It’s far better to focus on what to wear in the difficult autumn months and into the winter. If nothing else, it’ll encourage you to live in the moment and love your current styles.

You can worry about Spring/Summer ‘19 when the time arrives. And not a moment sooner.

Spend Wisely

We’d all love to have an endless pot of money. Sadly, only a very lucky few can head off to their nearest Zara and enjoy a spree without worrying about the price tags. If you are going to buy a more expensive outfit, make sure that it’s one you’ll love. That way you’ll still get value.

On a separate note, you want to think about the way you purchase goods. Find the best credit card bonus currently on offer, and the transactions can lead to positive outcomes. Of course, you still need to act in a responsible manner. While it might not be that fun, a little financial organisation is vital.

Besides, knowing that you have the available funds can help you shop with less guilt!

Seek Versatility

Quality often beats quantity, especially when dealing with daily outfits. However, you cannot deny the fact that you need enough outfits and looks to keep things fresh. Nobody wants to look like a cartoon character that dresses the same day after day. This can get very boring, very quickly.

Finding the balance between the two ideas isn’t easy, but versatile clothing will serve you well. Shoes can be the foundation of any great look, and some of these beauties are ideal for casual and evening wear alike. Lingerie that can be worn underneath an array of outfits in a range of situations should be on the agenda too.

Versatile clothing gives you far greater options without the need to buy hundreds of outfits.

Be You

Whenever I am asked how I always look so confident and comfortable with what I’m wearing, the answer is the same. It’s because I always focus on finding outfits that complement my natural shape, colorings, and personality. It’s all about me; your fashion should be all about you!

Gaining inspiration from others (hopefully my guides are helpful) is a natural starting point. However, putting your unique spin on things is the key ingredient that truly makes an outfit pop and helps you stand out. When coupled with the right makeup and accessories, you can achieve your dream look on a budget.

Be confident in who you want to be. The results will be great news for you and your bank balance.

6 Immediate Steps To Take After A Car Accident

Reviews · October 20, 2018

Do you know what to do if you are in a car accident? Many motorists do not as they do not expect to get into a collision despite how common they are, but this is a problem because knowing how to react is crucial to the safety of everyone on the roads and also for taking the appropriate steps afterwards. Even if it is just a minor accident, you will still need to follow a few basic steps to make sure no further accidents happen and also so that you can notify your insurer and establish who is accountable. These are the main steps to take after any auto collision.

Stop The Car & Check For Injuries

First, you need to stop the automobile and immediately check yourself and passengers for any injuries. Immediately call the emergency service if anyone is seriously hurt. If not, be sure to keep checking with those that are in your car over the coming hours as some injuries do not present themselves till later on or will get progressively worse.

Pull Over

If you are able to do so, you should pull the vehicle over to the side of the road, switch off the engine and put on your hazard lights so that traffic can continue to flow. Call the police if the road is blocked or if you believe that the other driver is inebriated, if they flee the scene or if you think that they caused the accident on purpose.

Exchange Details

Next, you need to speak to the other drivers involved and exchange insurance details – try to avoid placing any blame at this point and be civil. You should also take down the details of any other passengers involved and anyone who witnessed the accident.

Gathering Details

You should then gather as many details at the scene as possible in order to create an account of what transpired. This will include details of all of the cars involved, photographs of the crash scene, damage and any injuries sustained, the time and date, the weather conditions and what damage was sustained.

Insurance

You should inform your insurer about the accident as soon as possible and provide all of the details of the accident so that they can take appropriate action.

Speak To An Attorney

If the accident was not your fault, then it is important to contact a personal injury law firm that specializes in auto accidents, such as Zanes Law. They will be able to claim for compensation on your behalf which can be helpful for recovering costs involved such as hospital bills, time off work and any long-term treatment that may be required. This compensation can also reduce the stress and frustration involved and makes sure that the responsible party does not get away with it.

Even a minor auto accident can be scary and leave a motorist feeling shaky, but it is important that you know how to react in these situations in order to stay safe, get any medical attention that you need and to create a detailed account of what happened. These are the main steps to take immediately following any kind of crash and could help you to receive the full compensation that you deserve.

Why You Should Not Shy Away from Fashion

Reviews · October 18, 2018

Fashion is a beautiful part of everyday life. The various colors, patterns and style of clothes are constantly innovated, with more being released every day and new trends appearing every few months as well. The ubiquity of fashion is one reason not to shy away from it, but there are many more reasons, as well. It is your individual sense of style that makes a good first impression on people, and it’s directly tied to your personality.

When you finally decide to dress in a unique way, wear your favorite colors and patterns, you are also embracing who you are as a person and uplifting your mood in the process. One of the most beneficial aspects with fashion is the creative freedom that it gives you and the fact that you can have hours on end of fun with it. Just keep an eye out for inspiration and choose clothing options that are aligned with your budget plan, among other tips mentioned below.

First impression

The first impression that you leave on people is based on your appearance. While this does not mean that you should dress for other people’s sake, you should be mindful of finding a balance between professionalism, when it is necessary, and individuality. An impression once made is often hard to change or get rid of, so you might as well ensure that it is a good one to start.

Embracing your personality

Embracing who you really are will benefit your life in a number of ways and most importantly it will allow you to radiate a positive energy you never had before. Fashion is a creative outlet for many and mixing and matching different colors and patterns is always a result of personal preference, and thereby allows you to showcase your uniqueness.

Lifts your mood

Working in tangent with your personality, clothes also affect your mood. This is, in particular, is due to the colors that you choose to wear. Think back to the last time you wore warm colors and how it affected you throughout the day. It could be anything from a scarf, a hat, a shirt, dress, and so on. Not to mention, purchasing new clothes that fit you like a glove is always a good feeling.

Look for inspiration

When you are in doubt and have no idea what to wear, you can look for some inspiration online and through magazines. Social media has become a popular platform for many to post their fashion photos and has become a common source of creativity for many. Take a look at what your style muse has been wearing lately and get some ideas for what types of outfits you will put together moving forward.

Having fun with it

The point of personal style is to have fun with it and do what you want to do. You can read about the latest trends, find your inspiration from others, but at the end of the day, the best part and the most fun aspect is to experiment. Why not go vintage shopping and wear your old-style pants with a modern top? It is the mixing and matching that makes your clothing choices most unique and unlike anyone else’s.

Not expensive

Embracing fashion and clothes does not mean that you should spend your saved money on a shopping spree. Doing this will simply cause you to be stressed out at a later date, which is never worth it. Instead, you can look for coupons and promotions when you go shopping, so that you can both purchase the garments you want and save money while doing it. There are tons of online websites that offer these types of deals, with one example being a useful page for Topshop discounts. So long as you can continue to pay your monthly bills and are still saving money for future investments, there is no harm in treating yourself to a few clothing items every once in a while.

Practical

It’s important not to forget that at the end of the day, fashion is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. Without a fall jacket or sweaters during autumn, everyone would be too cold to go about their day-to-day. However, when you can purchase something that both does the job and is nice to stare at and wear, it’s always a win-win situation. It’s also important to invest in a few essential pieces that you can wear no matter what season it is, given that you can layer. These include a white and black t-shirt, black running shoes, a neutral cardigan, black pants, among other neutral items. The pops of color are where you make it more unique to your personality.

It’s everywhere

Fashion is everywhere, even if you do not often go shopping in-stores. With the widespread availability of technology, many people, in fact, nowadays choose to make their purchases online and have it delivered right at their doorstep. At the end of the day, there should be no rush to accumulate your perfect wardrobe, but you should do it throughout a few years.

It has been made evident in current society that fashion trends tend to repeat themselves, given the past few years, but no one can say for sure what it will look like a hundred or even two hundred years from now. The takeaway should be that you should have fun with your clothes and personal style! Have the confidence to be different and embrace it, as there is no one like you and that’s what makes you special to begin with. There’s a time and place for wearing any type of outfit, and it’s important to remain mindful of this, as certain occasions require more professional or serious attire, compared to others. However, that does not mean that you can’t experiment and have fun even with those outfits. It simply means that you should not wear a rainbow jumpsuit to your job interview, although you can do that on the weekend or after-hours. Fashion and style always leave a strong statement, and this is always important to remember.
