John Paul #Pet #Dog Lavender Mint Shampoo & Conditioning Spray #Review #HGG18

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

How do you bathe your dog? Ever since Sam(our 14 yr old 150 pd large breed German Shepard) passed, I never thought I would have another dog but it was so hard on the kids that we had to give in. So now we are the proud pet parents of Zola- a chocolate lab. The difference between her and Sam is that Zola loves getting a bath and Sam not so much. I was thrilled when the opportunity came about to review shampoo and conditioner  from JOHN PAUL PET.

The same year, he established JP’s Peace, Love & Happiness Foundation as a hub for his charitable investments, which support the core values of his companies: sustainability, social responsibility and animal-friendliness.

My Review/Thoughts~

I have never been the type to cut corners when it comes to my pets. My pets are family and I treat them like family be it their food, toys or bathing products. That is why I turn to John Paul Pet for all of my pet needs. Their products are out of this world and my pets even like the smell. Lavender Mint is one of their news products to date and we just got to try it. As a pet parent, I only recommend products that are awesome and work.

I give John Paul Pet products my thumbs up and my highest recommendation.

The Christmas Chronicles on @Netflix November 22 #TheChristmasChronicles, #ad #rwm

Reviews · 

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Review Wire Media for Netflix.

Christmas movies are all the rage in my home. During this time of the year, These type of movies are all we watch. I really think an action holiday movie helps to put us in the holiday mood~

The Christmas Chronicles is a wishful, hilarious, family festive adventure. This is our first live action family film with a well established director and big profile actor in Kurt Russell. From producer Chris Columbus (“Home Alone”, “Harry Potter”) and director Clay Kaytis (“The Angry Birds Movie”), The Christmas Chronicles, tells the story of sister and brother, Kate (Darby Camp) and Teddy Pierce (Judah Lewis), whose Christmas Eve plan to catch Santa Claus (Kurt Russell) on camera turns into an unexpected journey that most kids could only dream about. After staking out Santa’s arrival, they sneak into his sleigh, cause it to crash and nearly derail Christmas. As their wild night unfolds, Kate and Teddy work together with Santa – as you’ve never seen him before – and his loyal Elves to save Christmas before it’s too late. The Christmas Chronicles premieres on Netflix, November 22, 2018!

 

I  consider myself very lucky in that I was able to view this trailer of The Christmas Chronicles. This trailer has over  340,000+ views. So, They must be doing something right. I am such a huge Kurt Russell fan! I hope you will join me in watching The Christmas Chronicles on November 22nd.

Planning Ahead: Three Things To Think About As You Get Older

Reviews · 

As another birthday, Christmas celebration, and New Year’s day comes around on the calendar; it is getting every closer towards to the wonderful day when you get to retire and enjoy your later years in comfort and maybe even a little bit of luxury. After a whole lifetime of hard work, you will be looking forward to the chance to put your feet up and really enjoy the time you now have to yourself and your family. With this being said, there is still a lot to think about before this day can come as retirement does require some planning. To give you a helping hand, this quick and easy guide will go through three simple ways you can plan ahead for your retirement.

Life after the nine to five

After working at your job for a number of years and maybe even building a nice career for yourself, you will be ready for a rest. Even if you love your job, being able to have a lie in and enjoy the day is precisely why you have done all this work and saved up all these years. A question that many people around your age will be asking themselves is, “How much do I need to retire?” The answer to this can be found through talking to the professionals at Retiring Right, who can assess your personal situation to find out exactly what money you need to retire from full-time work when and where you want to.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Of course, one of the biggest things about retirement that makes it so great is that you will no longer have a job tying you to the current place where you love. For perhaps the first time in your life, you now have complete freedom to choose where you want to go and live out your days. If you’re really not sure where this may be then taking this quiz can help you to generate some interesting ideas to consider. For example, does a warmer climate entice you, or do you long for the hustle and bustle of the city?

Spending your time wisely

The last thing you need to give some serious thought to is how you are going to spend all the free time you now have, as you don’t want to waste this gift. A good idea is to write up a retirement bucket list you can work through with a partner or friend to ensure you’re staying social and enjoying life. Some ideas including taking a class to learn a foreign language, planting a garden with all your favorite flowers and fruit in, or even starting up a new fitness routine to take care of yourself. If there has always been something you have wanted to do but never had to time or the opportunity, consider retirement your green light.

Retirement is a wonderful time in your life that cannot be slept on. Make the most of it by planning ahead and giving this time of your life some thought.

My pets mean the world to me. They are part of my family and I treat them like family. There is always a toy on the floor to play with and yes that means stepping on a few but that’s o.k. too.

My Thoughts/Review~

I do not think I have seen anything cuter than My pets playing with their toys. Hartz sent an awesome package filled with some of their now favorite toys. They loved every single one of them. What will they come up with next. A toy where you put a treat in and even a toy that they think is a mouse. How cute is that? I like I always say- My pets are my family and I treat them like family.

I give this my thumbs up and my highest recommendation. I know you will too.

Salonpas Large Patch #Review #HGG18

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this review. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

As most of you know, I suffer from pain every day. Some days it is off the charts and others it is just annoying. No matter what, I choose to try other pain relieving options  first before I resort to my narcotic pain reliever. This is why I was thrilled when the opportunity came about to review Salonpas for my 2018 Holiday Gift Guide.

 About Salonpas~

History of SALONPAS®

In the century-and-a-half since our founding, Hisamitsu has pioneered the development of patches and other topical treatments to relieve everyday aches and pains. Our SALONPAS® product line gained early acceptance in Asia and now sells in 50 countries around the world.

Although our products now enjoy international recognition, we started out as a small, family owned business in Japan. Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical was founded in the mid-19th century under the name of Komatsuya. The company went on to create a large variety of health-related products. Our company has always prided itself on its ability to create new consumer products based on Hisamitsu’s comprehensive research, development, manufacturing, and sales capabilities.

SALONPAS® brand patches were first introduced in 1934, and their outright efficacy propelled our company to the position of market leadership that we currently hold today. SALONPAS® was developed through the application of Asahi Mankinko, the prototype therapeutic patch we introduced back in 1903. The original product gained quick acceptance and was considered cutting edge technology in its day. Thanks to sustained research and input from everyday users, our products continue to evolve. Moreover, our company has expanded the culture and use of patch treatment. Hisamitsu continues to develop and refine therapeutic patches that are safe and easy to use.

Salonpas is a brand name of a line of over-the-counter (OTC) pain relieving products manufactured by Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. of Tosu City, Japan. Introduced to the Japanese market in 1934,[1] Salonpas is now sold in over fifty countries.[2] The largest markets for the products are Japan and other Asian nations.

My Thoughts/Review~

As someone who suffers from daily pain, I can honestly say that I am so very happy that I found Salonpas patches as they are now made in a bigger patch that covers a bigger surface area. By covering a bigger surface area, You can now get the pain relief to where you need it.  My cats do not like the menthol smell but I find it soothing. They  are 20% bigger and have better flexibility.  This has been the answer to my prayers. You owe it to yourself to give these a try.

I give Salonpas my thumbs up and my highest recommendation.
