Should you really have to be told you can’t use your CHILD SUPPORT or UNEMPLOYMENT check on clothes from a store that sells Motorcycle clothing?

With Father’s Day creeping up on us, I know you must be thinking about what to get your Father or husband for Father’s Day. Well, why not check out the Fogless Shower Mirror from Toilet Tree Products?

Fogless Shower Mirror

Seriously…it is truly fogless. The Fogless Shower Mirror comes with detailed instructions (pictures and everything!) on how to install and keep it from fogging up! The mirror has a reservoir behind it that you fill with hot water. The hot water then heats up the mirror temperature preventing it from fogging!  I really like the fact that it durable and has been hanging in our shower for a few weeks now, getting daily use and it has not fallen, not cracked, not fogged up – Not once! And when you have two tweenagers and a big man using the same shower that is saying something!

 

 

My husband loves using the Fogless Shower Mirror to shave. I am so glad, because quite frankly I am getting sick of cleaning up the mess after he shaves! I, on the other hand love the fact that I can remove my makeup in the shower without walking out of the shower looking like I have raccoon eyes. The Fogless Shower Mirror also comes with a squeegee so that when the water from the shower head (no not fog!) lands on the mirror you can easily wipe it right off.

This is definitely a unique gift for anyone, but not only is it unique – it has a purpose and works properly. So if you are looking for a unique, useful Father’s Day Gift, check out the Fogless Shower Mirror from Toilet Tree Products.

For the last few days, poor Maggie (the dog) has been sick. Vomiting, diarrhea, and plain old upset stomach. And let me just tell you – YUCK at having to clean it up. I was trying to figure out what in the world was making her sick. We didn’t change her food. She is not on any medicine.

But then I remembered. We have a peach tree in the backyard and there are so many peaches falling off it Maggie uses them to play catch. And yes, she plays catch with her self. However, I have also seen her chewing on them. And what do you know. Peaches just happen to be poisonous to dogs!

List of Fruits/Vegetables which are known toxins to pets:

Apple, Almond, Apricot, Peach, Wild Cherries, Plum, Balsam Pear, Prunes and similar fruit

Diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, (Stem, Seeds and Leaves) The seeds of most fruits contain cyanide.

Avocados


The fruit, pit and plant are all toxic. They can cause difficulty breathing and fluid accumulation in the chest, abdomen, and heart

Broccoli


Potent gastrointestinal irritant

Cherries


Rapid breathing, shock, mouth inflammation, heart rate increase

Mushrooms


Acute gastric effects, liver and kidney damage, abdominal pain, nausea, salivation, vomiting

Onion


Gastrointestinal upset, anemia, hemogloinria, destroys red blood cells

Grapes, Raisins, Prunes


It takes anywhere from 9 oz to 2 lbs of grapes and raisins to cause severe vomiting and diarrhea, and possible kidney failure

The ASPCA has a HUGE list of other fruits, vegetables, and plants that are potentially poisonous to your pets.

This list was compiled from multiple resources and should not be intended to diagnose any dog or cat. Call your vet immediately if you suspect your animal has been poisoned.

I remember planning my wedding and thinking, “Holy Moly! Anything with the word “wedding” in it is expensive!” So I had to really work at finding the best quality wedding supplies, but without a hefty price tag! I found a lot of stuff online, but unfortunately for me, I did not know about Ann’s Bridal Bargains.

At Ann’s Bridal Bargains you can find just about everything you need to plan a spectacular wedding. From Wedding Invitations, to Wedding Favors, Wedding Decor, Bridesmaids Gifts and everything in between, I think you would be hard pressed not to find exactly what you were looking for, and for a good price, at Ann’s Bridal Bargains.

And check out these Wedding Napkins! At Ann’s Bridal Bargains you can get your Wedding Napkins Personalized for Free! How awesome is that?

These Wedding Napkins would have worked perfectly in my wedding.

With prices starting at 21.50 for  100 napkins, a wide variety of colors,  AND FREE PERSONALIZATION, it is really hard to beat that price.

But, that Periwinkle color would not match Jenny & Mitch’s Wedding theme.  I am thinking they would like this Plum Color better!

Who are Jenny & Mitch you ask? They are a couple who will be starting their lives together on June 18th.

I had the opportunity to ask Jenny a few questions about her life and her wedding and this is what she said.

1. How did you meet?

My fiancee, Mitch, and I met while we were both attending Ohio Northern University.  I was studying pharmacy and he was studying sports management.  We had several mutual friends but didn’t actually meet each other until Mitch’s senior year in 2008.

We both ended up at the same party and one of our mutual friends introduced us.  We have been together ever since!  After graduation, Mitch was accepted to graduate school at Northern Illinois University.  So, the last two years we have been making a long distance relationship work since I was finishing up my Doctorate of Pharmacy degree in Ohio.

2. How did Mitch propose?

Mitch proposed to me in September 2009.  He made a surprise visit on our one year anniversary.  On our anniversary, we were just hanging out around the house when my dog, Shea, came bouncing in with a small pouch stuck in her collar.

When I removed the pouch, I found my engagement ring and then Mitch proposed!  The past year we have been planning our wedding while living a couple states away.

3. What is the theme or color story of your wedding?

My wedding is taking place on June 18th.  We are having a church ceremony followed by a reception at a local hall.  The main color in my wedding is plum.  We will also have little bits of pinks and greens as accent colors in the flowers and stationary.  The most important thing to us is that our wedding is fun!

We have tried to include details that are fun and summery. We will be having a “candy buffet” that will serve as the favor for our guests.  The candy buffet will include various chocolates and candies prepared by a local candy shop.  I have a hard time articulating the theme of my wedding beyond that.  However, my mother says that my wedding has a “whimsical” feel.

4. Was it hard to find inexpensive wedding supplies?

Our long engagement has allowed me to take my time in finding party supplies.  I think this definitely helps in finding inexpensive party supplies.  It still can be hard to find items anytime the word “wedding” is attached.  I actually have done quite a bit of shopping online for the wedding.  My bridesmaids will be wearing dresses that we found online.  The dresses are beautiful and were a pretty good deal for the girls.  I also found my flower girl’s dress at an online site.

My mother (my unofficial wedding planner) and I wanted something fun and beautiful for the table linens.  We were able to find a beautiful plum sheer overlay for the tables at the reception.  Buying this set of linens were actually cheaper than renting some of the linens from the reception hall.  I’ve tried to balance purchasing items for the wedding with making/creating items.  We are making our own programs, menus, table numbers, etc.

So you see, finding inexpensive wedding supplies can be done, but it can also be time consuming if you don’t know where to look. So, if you are planning a wedding, be sure to save yourself some time and money by checking out Ann’s Bridal Bargains.

Congratulations Jenny & Mitch!

Now, I am not going bald, but on the right of my head I can see this “widows” peak starting to form…GRRRRRRR! Are you serious? And the fact that my hair is already fine to begin with and I think it is time I looked at how to prevent any more thinning of my hair! Luckily for me, I have the opportunity to review the Bosley Professional Strength for Women Hair Treatment.

About Bosley Professional Strength for Women:

“Specially formulated to nourish and invigorate your hair and scalp, our 5-step Professional Strength for Women includes Hair Regrowth Formula Treatment, a 2% Minoxidil topical approved by the FDA to help women stop hair loss and re-grow hair.”

The Bosley Professional Strength for Women is sold in a 6 month supply and includes:

Nourishing Shampoo

Gentle, sulfate-free cleanser that helps to recondition hair and rejuvenate the scalp. Cleanses and removes toxins such as DHT, a primary cause of thinning hair and hair loss, from the hair and scalp. With a minty scent and a tingling sensation on your scalp, it is a great way to wake up in the morning! And I love the fact that it is has “colokeeper” because I don’t get this hair color naturally and I want to be able to continue to color my hair even while using this shampoo!

Volumizing Conditioner

Infuses hair with vitality, volume and a thicker appearance. People with fine, dry hair like me always seem to have a problem when they don’t use conditioner. I know when I don’t use it, is so knotty, it is the epitome of the phrase “You look like you have a rats nest in your hair.”

This conditioner also had the minty scent and the tingling sensation, but it also Soy Amino Acids & Vegetable Protein to restore & help with strength, thickness, and volume!

Hair Regrowth Treatment

Apply twice a day directly to the scalp.This is the only Minoxidil solution approved for women. However, before you use it, be sure and read the entire package.

This has been shown to stop hair loss and regrow healthy hair. Additionally,  you could possibly have noticeable results in 3 months  and most users see significant results in 4-6 months.

Dietary Supplement

Formulated for Healthy Looking Hair, this collection of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbs contains the essential elements to build protein, and promote stronger, healthier looking hair.

Follicle Energizer

For areas of thinning and low density hair.I love this because I can apply this only to the specific areas that may be thinning (my widows peak…ahem).

The Bosley Professional Strength for Women can only be purchased in a 6 month supply at a Bosley Center. However, do I have a treat for you!

Win It!

One of my lucky readers will a ONE MONTH supply of Bosley Professional Strength for Women!
