Everyone knows it’s impossible to go shopping at Target without making at least one impulse purchase…it’s a scientific fact. Well, over the weekend I went to buy a few things for reorganizing my home office area and ended up in the pet aisle (of course).

I found this awesome $2 gadget (it was on sale for $1.69 but I don’t know for how long). Anyway, it’s the Boots & Barkley Slow Feed Accessory Plug and you can find it at your local Target store or buy it online here.

It fits in just about any bowl, and has a suction cup on the back so it sticks in place, but spins around as your dog eats.

Daisy has several different types of slow feeders and interactive feeders, and we rotate between them, but sometimes it’s just easier to use her bowl. We worry about her eating her food too quickly because it can be unhealthy and even dangerous for dogs to eat too fast, so I’m super happy to have discovered this cheap little gadget and thought I’d share!

I’m often asked what I program use to create my blog graphics, Facebook images and for editing photos. The answer is PicMonkey Royale!

While I do know how to use PhotoShop and Illustrator, and own them both as well, I’ve been using PicMonkey for a couple of years now and find it fast, easy and fun…plus it’s the least expensive quality graphic design and photo editing tool I’ve found! It’s web-based and works in your browser, so there’s nothing to download or install. You just login and use all the fabulous fonts, overlays, backgrounds, filters, frames, textures, touch ups, special effects and more.

While the free version of PicMonkey is ok, here’s all the extras you get with the Royale version:

  • 50% more Frames, Fonts, Overlays, Textures and Effects
  • Twice the Touch Up tools
  • Extra layouts and customization in Collage
  • Absolutely, positively, not a single ad

Whether you need to edit some family and pet photos, make a photo collage, or want to create your own original holiday cards, invites, menus, signs, newsletters and decor, PicMonkey Royale is the way to go! It’s also great for creating gift tags and labels for DIY holiday gifts, cookie exchanges, dog treats, and any other homemade gifts you’re proudly giving to friends, family and neighbors this year.

Be sure to snag this rare FREE 30-Day Trial Membership. With PicMonkey Royale, there is no obligation. You can cancel anytime…but I don’t think you’ll want to once you try it. If anything, it’s super addictive and you’ll keep finding new ways to use it every day!

The best photo editing features for free.

red green and black meowy christmas ugly christmas sweaters and shirts

Have you been invited to an Ugly Christmas Sweater party this holiday season? Even though it sounds really fun, we live in South Florida and have NO desire to wear hot and heavy sweaters when it’s 80 degrees outside! I was searching for something lighter but still keeping with the theme and found some super CUTE t-shirts, tank tops and sweatshirts designed in the style of ugly Christmas sweaters.

I especially love the “Meowy Christmas” design on these fun holiday shirts and they come in blue, green, red, black, pink and a few other colors…it varies by which style and size you get. I think these look like a super comfortable and affordable twist on the traditional ugly sweater trend!
