Every dog owner is aware that sometimes it comes at a price. More often than not this is your home. Just like with small children it’s inevitable that a dog will make a mess in your home. So you are going to have to invest in more time keeping it clean. With that in mind, I thought I would share with you some top tips to keep your home clean and tidy. Allowing you more time to enjoy with your dog.
Unpleasant smells As a dog owner, we know that they have a scent. One that can get stronger at times especially when they have been outside. These odours can linger in the home. So it’s important to ensure that your dog gets bathed regularly. But make sure that you don’t wash too frequently, or avoid not washing your dog often enough. Just like we have specific requirements for our hair, so does your dog. So take into account if your dog’s hair is particularly greasy or dry. While bathing your dog is a great way to keep odours at bay, consider making sure your home is ventilated. Also, use strong fabric fresheners to ensure the rest of your home continues to smell rosey.
Damaged items Another thing that dog owners are all too familiar with is damaged items. If your dog likes to chew things, then you sure know about it. Nothing is safe from your slippers to the carpets. To avoid your furniture and other items being destroyed consider bones for them to chew or indestructible dog toys for them to enjoy. You can go to the website online to find out more information on what’s available.
Dog toys everywhere Dogs are just as playful as young children. So it shouldn’t surprise you that there will be an accumulation of things like toys everywhere. It’s important to keep your dog occupied, especially when you are not around. But consider having a storage space where they can live at night or when your dog isn’t keen to play. Doing this will ensure that your home stays tidy.
Dirty paw prints The last thing you want is for your dog to go trailing through your home with muddy paws after a long walk. But these incidents can happen and cause stains on carpets, flooring and even the walls. However, training your dog to wait until you give the order to enter your home is one way to combat it. Although, you may find that these things do happen from time to time, so make sure you have a good stain remover spray on standby. Tackle the marks as soon as possible to avoid them staining.
Dog hair Finally, one of the biggest issues with dogs is the accumulation of hair that can gather all around your home. Of course, the amount of hair a dog sheds depends on its breed. Regular grooming is essential to make sure you brush away those stray hairs. A dog will shed its hair more at certain times of the years, so make sure you are aware of when you may need to groom your dog more regularly.
I hope these tips help you keep your home clean and tidy.

Do you ever feel like you want your lashes to grow longer or brows to look fuller? Are you wearing faux eyelashes and would really like to get rid of them?
I hear you loud and clear. I have never worn faux lashes and don’t pluck my eyebrows, but I do know what it’s like to fill in brows to make them look fuller.
New York Biology UltraLASH
New York Biology has an UltraLASH Lash & Brow Serum that claims to make those brows look fuller and grow those lashes longer. I am always a little skeptical for such claims being made but I don’t mind giving the product a try. My brows and eyelashes are already full but I do add powder or a brow liner stick for fullness.
The UltraLASH brow and lash serum comes in a 3.5 mil box and when you take top off it has brush applicator on the top. After I wash my face I apply according to the directions the brush gently along my brows . You only need to apply the serum once so it will last a long time.
My brows look full, healthy, however, my brows are already thick so not seeing a lot of change right now. I will keep using the serum and see how it works overtime.

When I apply the serum to the upper eyelashes I would apply the brush from the inner part of my lash line to the outer part. it was very easy to apply, and a little of the serum was all I needed. I have used this product a month and I can tell that areas were my lashes need to look thicker I am starting to see thickness.

With the hot and humid days of summer upon us, I want to keep my skin routine to a minimum. I do not want to put much of anything on when the temperature reaches 90 degrees and above. If you have heard the expression ‘sweating off your make-up’, that definitely will happen when the humidity reaches 100 degrees. I am always on the look for a moisturizer that will keep my face feeling fresh; but not oily and will last the whole day through. Vivo Labs recently contacted my about trying its Vitamin C and Amino Day Moisturizer. I was intrigued and curious to see if this moisturizer would be an ideal fit for those humid days of summer.
GIVEAWAY!!
A big “Thank You” to Mayank and the team at Vivo Labs for providing me with the opportunity to try the moisturizer; and to give one to one of wonderful followers to try as well. The moisturizer comes in a sleek and sexy bottle. It is a 1.62 ounce bottle and retails for $58. Details on the giveaway are at the end of this review.
Directions (from the box)
Apply the Vitamin C+ Amino Day moisturizer generously to the face and neck. For me, I only needed one pump. I do not like to waste any product. When I tried one pump, it was more than enough and my face did not feel oily at all. For dry skin, you may need two pumps or more. But I suggest that you start with one pump and see how it goes. You may need a second or third pump, but you don’t want to overdo it and be looking oily and shiny. The bottle should last a long time if you are only using one pump.
Applying the moisturizer Thanks to God and good genes, my skin is in pretty good condition. I applied the moisturizer by massaging from my neck to my face in upward motions. I apply moisturizer this way because it decreases wrinkles and it is just a great massage. The Vitamin C+ Amino Day moisturizer absorbed into my skin well. My skin felt soft and supple. The moisturizer never felt weighty or heavy, so my SPF glided on smoothly. It lasted the whole day through. My skin never felt dry or rough; always fresh and smooth.
