It's been a Hot Minute

Hello!

Well how the hell are ya'll?

It's been a hot gosh darn minute since I've been able to blog and oh man have I missed it! So much has happened and it's all got me topsy turvy!

Where to start?

How about with the biggest change. As you may or may not know I am a professional dog groomer, I've been grooming since 2004 from my home. Back in November I was having a hard time with my job, my relationships and just life in general. So before my birthday I told myself to make a choice. I either quit grooming, get a 'real' job, take the money I've been saving, and move to another state; or open my own, larger shop downtown that I've been dreaming about for the past 10 years. After a bottle of wine, a good nights sleep in a haunted house and a phone call later I moved my shop downtown.

It is one of the scariest things I have ever done yet one of things I've always wanted to do.

I've only been open since April 1st at the new place but I've been on the go since March 16th trying to get all the T's crossed and I's dotted. I've never done something so....grand before. All of my eggs are in this basket and one by one I hope and pray they all hatch. I've given my self 6 months to make sure this pans out and if not.....then I don't know and that fucking scares me. So if you could send a good thought or two my way I would truly appreciate it.




Lots of other smaller things like cleaning out my old grooming room and moving all things around. Working away from home has actually given me more time to read, going to the gym 5 days a week, running around with kids and trying to get them where they need to be. 

Life, it's all moving very quickly and the weekends seam to fly by now.

I have done some more grown up things like by new tires for my car, went out and watch a live band and interacted with other humans. Been re watching some of my series DVD's lie Sex and The City and True Blood.

Anyway.....

I have so many idea for videos and blog post, once I get my life in order I'll be able to make regular content again!

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...
