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!

Natural and Cruelty-Free Body Care and Deodorant from Primal Products

As pet parents and animal lovers, most of us take extra care to be selective about the products we use for our pets, home and family. This means watching for natural and non-toxic ingredients, as well as those that are better for the environment and that have not been tested on animals.

cruelty free

I recently received some samples to test from a company called Primal Products, a small Florida company that makes handcrafted deodorant called Primal Pit Paste, and several other body care products, using organic and natural ingredients. The timing was perfect because over the past several months, we’ve been trying to swap many of the conventional products we use around our place, with safer and more natural alternatives.

I’ve been spending time reading reviews online and using the EWG Guide to Healthy Cleaning and Skin Deep Database to help find smarter choices, so the first thing I did when I was offered the samples to review, was look up Primal Products! The Skin Deep Database lets consumers search for beauty and personal care products by brand name or type of product, and look up ratings for how safe the ingredients are. I was super happy to see that Primal Pit Paste is rated 0 which is the BEST rating on the Skin Deep scale from 0-10 from low hazard to high hazard products and ingredients.

Over the past several weeks Woof Woof Papa and I have been using several of the Primal Products and are ready to give you our impressions. All products are Natural, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free and contain No GMOs. Here’s a rundown:

popo powder

Primal Popo Powder

This is an herbal body powder made with organic arrowroot, aluminum free baking soda, kaolin clay, magnesium, and organic cocoa butter. We’ve been using the unscented but it also comes in Lavender or Thyme and Lemon Grass made with natural essential oils.

Popo is a cute sounding nickname for your “down under” region, which as runners and other athletes know, can need some extra care due to perspiration and sweat glands in that area…but the powder can be used all over the body. It’s gentle yet effective, and I like to sprinkle it in the hubby’s stinky running shoes when he’s not looking.

pucker paste

Primal Pucker Paste Lip Balm

Proof that this company really does make everything to cover you from head to toe and in-between, they make an awesome natural lip balm. The hubby has always used lip balm when he runs, to avoid chapped lips…especially when he was training for his marathon. I just wish we’d known about this one sooner! It’s made with all-natural ingredients including Organic Coconut oil, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Beeswax and different Essential Oils depending on what flavor you choose. He likes the unscented, and I love the Vanilla Peppermint.

Check Out My New Eyeglasses from Firmoo!

new glasses

A few weeks ago, a company called Firmoo asked if I’d like to try out their service and offered me a coupon code for a free pair of glasses in exchange for my honest opinion about them. I usually wear contact lenses but have been needing to get a new pair of prescription glasses so the timing was perfect! I was also pretty curious about the whole process because I’d never ordered glasses online before.

The first thing I noticed was how GREAT the prices are! There are loads of really nice styles under $30, and Firmoo frequently has FREE Frames promos and coupon codes to help keep your total cost low. Even if you don’t need prescription glasses, you can order just about any pair with tinting and have some awesome sunglasses! Visit Firmoo HERE to see what free frames or other offers are going on now.

Firmoo has some great tools to help online shoppers select the right size, style, shape and colors. I knew I wanted something with plastic frames in a bit of an oval shape. I’ve got glasses that are very square, so I thought it would be fun to get something different.

Sitara handcrafted jewelry

Mother’s Day will be here before you know it so it’s time to start thinking about getting Mom something special! Sitara Collections recently invited me to review their work on my blog, and sent me a few lovely pieces from their handcrafted artisan jewelry collection. One lucky reader is also going to WIN something to keep for themselves or give as a gift!

Sitara Collections is an online boutique specializing in handcrafted, artisan jewelry, home decor, gifts and fashion items that you won’t find anywhere else. All the items they sell are handmade and the company supports fair labor practices to ensure that all their artisans are fairly paid for their beautiful work.

Although my photos don’t do either piece justice, they’ll still give you a great idea of what you can expect if you order something for yourself or to give as a gift. Each item arrives with a gold gift box and beautiful drawstring jewelry pouch. You or your recipient also receive a card explaining where the jewelry was handcrafted, and about it being fairly traded. Because the sale of Sitara Collections pieces helps support women artisans in locations such as India and Latin America, it’s a really nice idea for a Mother’s Day gift; give your mom something special and help other women support their families, too!

I love these earrings!

Aren’t these earrings gorgeous?!? When I saw them online, I just knew I had to have them! The color is more vibrant than my photos portray. These Pear-Shaped Gemstone Drop Earrings come in Smoky Quartz, Green Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Chalcedony, Garnet, Green Onyx and Black Onyx. The ones I’m wearing are the Chalcedony and I love them because they look as great with a ponytail, t-shirt and jeans as they do with a sundress and sandals.

stacked bracelets

I also love this beautiful Carnelian Om Bracelet. It looks gorgeous on its own but I have several other silver bracelets from Mexico, Thailand and India and love wearing them all stacked together. This one adds just the right pop of color! Sitara Collections has a really nice assortment of bracelets, so whether you like to mix your metals and gemstones or keep it simple, you’ll find some amazing arm candy to match your style.

In addition to the handcrafted jewelry, you’ll also find lovely home accents and textiles, handbags, hair accessories and wraps plus Ayurvedic health and beauty products and even stuff for kids and babies. Each time I’ve shopped the site, I’ve noticed that they offer a discount code for your first order, so be sure to keep an eye out in their Shop, or sign up for their newsletter. Right now, the offer is 15% OFF with Sitara Collections promo code SAVE15 at checkout. You can also visit them on Facebook for more photos and other offers.
