16 Things I learned in 2016

Hey everyone!

Just a good Olde Fashion Blog Post today.



As I write this it is 11:02pm on December 31st 2016, New Years Eve. In some parts of the world it's already 2017, I'm excited yet terrified. I've been though a lot this year, some good, some bad, and some surprising. So I wanted to do a 16 Things I Learned in 2016 like you do on your birthday.

Being a Pagan my New Year started in October but with the Gregorian calendar turning the majority of the World starts over today. So I don't have any resolutions but I do have some aspirations.

Anyway....
I learned that,

  • Fear is nothing to be afraid of.
  • You can be fat and pretty.
  • Leggings are indeed pants.
  • My beauty is unique.
  • Big girls get the charming prince too.
  • The number on the scale does not define who I am as a person.
  • I am not a morning person.
  • I have a thing for guys with nice hands.
  • One dog is more then enough.
  • Chipotle peppers are everything.
  • If you want it you have to ask for it.
  • He's just not that into you.
  • You never underestimate the power of a good booty photo.
  • It's okay to cry.
  • I am so much stronger then I ever knew.
  • I can be loved. 

I have a few favorite quotes that have stuck with me in 2016 and that I will carry into 2017.

"Keep Dreaming" - Justin/Pudding
 "Less Stress, More Love" - SoMo
"When I'm Good, I'm Very Good. When I'm Bad, I'm Better." - Mae West

My aspirations for 2017 are to,

Live apologetically, hug more and to write the words I need to hear.

Much love my friends!

Ta for now,
Kayla

I Used To Groom Dogs

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

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
