August Favorites 2014

My Favorite Things In August

It is finally September! All of the Autumn things are coming to the shelves and Pinterest is filled with Halloween and Fall ideas. I can not wait for the season to change.

This first thing is: Physicians Formula Wonderful Brow Wand. I found this at my local Dollar Tree so I'm  not sure they even make this on the regular anymore but it's freaking awesome. I had my brows dyed when I had my hair done last time and with this product it take just a few seconds to make them look full and natural. It doesn't budge and keeps the hairs in place as well.




Next is Simple Smoothing Facial Scrub. I am in love with the Simple line of face care. It has been a blessing for my problematic skin. I have been using the face wash and lotion for a couple of years now but have just recently tried the exfoliating scrub. I use it once or twice a week.

Next is the Paul Mitchel TeaTree Oil: Lavender and Mint shampoo and conditioner. It has been a savior for my scalp and hair. I have a horrible reaction to drugstore/cheap shampoos. But with their TeaTree line my scalp and hair have never looked of felt better. If you have dry/itchy/flaky scalp then I would strongly recommend trying this product out. It smells amazing, feels amazing and a little goes along way.



Next is TRUEBLOOD the HBO series. It's amazing and I have been watching it non stop all August long. I found the 2-5 seasons DVD's for just $14 each and have been loving every minute of it. (I bought S1 during Black Friday) I'm a little sad the series ended but it will always be one you can watch over and over again finding something new each time you watch.



As a former resident of the great state Arizona I should damn well know that you ALWAYS apply sunscreen. I have forgot once or twice this summer and paid the price. So the lesson of the month is Sunscreen is an always, never a sometimes.

Ta for now,
Kayla

I Used To Groom Dogs

Image
Hey Everyone! So as you may or may not know I am an avid animal lover but my personal faves are dogs. I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I wanted stuffed puppies before ever wanting a baby doll to play with and The Littlest Pet Shop was the shit. I was in 4-H for 5 years with dogs, even briefly trained dogs. Dog shows are my sporting events of choice. I rescued dogs for many years but purebreds will always have my heart. I started grooming dogs in 2004 when I was 18. I loved it, getting to be around dogs all day meeting new breeds and making the dogs (and owners) feel good. In April of 2016 I was able to move my little home run shop into a rental space in the heart of downtown. I was so excited. I though this is it. I'm doing the thing I've always wanted to do. But it seams that happiness for me is only a fleeting notion because my body can no longer cope with the demands of my job. Long story, an MRI and a couple of months of physical therapy, short I g...

November Favorites 2014

Image
It's December ya'll! That means that Yule and Christmas are just right around the corner, before you know it it will be 2015! I did film a faves video. In fact I filmed it twice but both times I forgot a few things and the quality was not very good. So...... A good old fashion blog post it is! Lets begin with the first beauty product: NYC Sky rise Lengthening Mascara. It's kind of amazing and for just a couple of dollars you can't go wrong. It has a thin traditional brush that helps gets extra close to the lash line. I used it every time I applied makeup in November because it helped me reach those tiny curled lashes I have on my left eye. Also because of my astigmatism helped to not stab myself in the eyeball. The second beauty fave is: Not Your Mothers: Way to Grow Long and Strong I was needing a new shampoo and preferred one that was sulfate free and I found this at my local Wal-Mart. I have used their hair spray before and thought why not gave...

Dogs.

Hey everyone! I am a self proclaimed Dog Snob. I love dogs and the sport of showing dogs. Anything involved with dogs, I love. Now I say Snob because I prefer purebreds. Mutts are great, I have several but my heart is pedigreed. This is also why I love being a pet groomer, getting to be hands on with so many different breeds and making them look as close as I can to their breed type is a thrill for me. I have always wanted to breed/show purebred dogs. Westminster is like the Super Bowl for me, I love reading about animal genetics, and raising puppies. But getting a breeder of quality dogs to give a virtual 'noobie' like me a puppy in the my chosen breed is nearly impossible. Now my breed of choice is the Poodle. Big or small I love them all but trying to find a healthy, well bred companion Toy Poodle is nearly impossible, almost as impossible as getting one from a show breeder. I was heavily involved with animal rescue for many years and I will always lend a hand to a d...
