The Stray Cat Who Chose Me: My Kitten Rescue Story

It all started with a stray cat, a beautiful black and gold tortoiseshell. I began feeding her back in April, just leaving some food out for her. By mid-May, she was a regular visitor, and I noticed she was pregnant. My heart just went out to this expectant mother. I made it my mission to keep her well-fed, which, let me tell you, was a task. Her appetite was huge, and she was eating three to four times a day. She practically lived in our yard, a silent agreement that this was her safe space. She'd be there to greet me in the morning and would come and go throughout the day. My indoor cat, Adah, eventually got used to her presence, a big step considering her initial reaction was to lunge at the window. The stray, whom I affectionately started thinking of as “Mama Cat” (I even called her “mama”), seemed to settle in, making our yard her home. As June progressed, she started staying even after sunset, a sign of her growing trust. The dynamic was peaceful, and I was happy to provide ...

Image
Did you know that May is Hypertension Awareness Month? It's an important time to focus on keeping our blood pressure in the healthy range. Withings Body Comp and BPM Connect are excellent tools to stay on top of your health (among other things). I'm in love with the scale, as it measures a handful of things to help you know more about your overall health. The digital screen and animations are a huge bonus, too; I actually look forward to weighing myself! The BMP Connect cuff is also a joy to have and is so convenient to use. You just wrap it around your arm (the correct way, as shown in the instructions) and press the button. It'll take care of the rest. Now, let's dive into the seven ways these fab health gadgets can help you live your best life while keeping your blood pressure in check!

Pure Vitamin Club Daily Multicaps Review

Note: This was resurrected from Tumblr thanks to Google cache and was originally posted on May 6, 2015. Not all multivitamins are created equal. I was really intrigued by Pure Vitamin Club’s daily multicap for a couple reasons. One of them is, you only have to take one a day. The second is that it’s confirmed on the product page that you can open the capsule and add it to a glass of water or smoothie.  Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links and is sponsored by Pure Vitamin Club. I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. All opinions are 100% mine. This is awesome for me because I have trouble swallowing pills and this is one large capsule! I would never in a million years be able to swallow this capsule. I can, however, easily add it to my daily bottle of water and drink it with ease. Best of all, it’s practically flavorless, so I barely notice it in my water. It also turns the water a nice orange color.

Detox and Boost Your Health With Maxx Herb Pau D' Arco Plus

Note: This was resurrected from Tumblr thanks to Google cache and was originally posted on September 10, 2019. The older I get, the more concerned I am about my health. Sadly, I have a hard time swallowing pills, so I’m always on the lookout for alternative supplement types like gummies, powders, and liquids. I also prefer the “all-in-one” types that can help with multiple health issues and concerns. Maxx Herb’s Pau D’ Arco Plus Liquid Extract is one of those supplements. Not only is this therapeutic blend conveniently in liquid form but it tastes great too! This supplement has a slightly sweet fruitiness to it that enhances whatever you add it to. So, I tend to use it as a sweetener and add it to my tea – meaning, I’ll use a little less sweetener than usual and add the daily dosage of this in place for the rest of the sweetener. Along with the ingredient Pau D’ Arco Inner Bark, this supplement also contains Dandelion Root and Red Clover (two great cleansing herbs). My duty to you: I ...

Vita Sciences Nervex Neuropathy Pain Relief Cream Review

Note: This was resurrected from Tumblr thanks to Google cache and was originally posted on July 3, 2015. I thought that I had tried all of Vita Sciences’ amazing creams, but I was wrong. I’ve most recently tried their Nervex Neuropathy Pain Relief Cream and another, which I’ll be reviewing later this month. I often get nerve pain in my extremities due to pinched nerves - which often occur from sitting too long at my desk. It has been happening to me for years, but I’m just too nervous to get it further checked out. Maybe one day. Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Vita Sciences; it contains affiliate links.
