Le Garcon Grooming Pomade Review!

I like to offer different viewpoints on the reviews that I'm approved for. Not only does someone else in my life get something to test for free...but it also offers a different outlook on products that I might not be crazy about. Le Garcon's Grooming Pomade is a prime example of this! I can't stand to have ANYTHING on my hair. I don't use hairspray, gel, mousse....nothing. My husband, on the other hand is a hair fanatic and he burns through product quickly. When I saw the opportunity to have him try something new, I seized it! I thought he might enjoy it. Luckily, I was right. :)

The biggest aspect of the Le Garcon Grooming Pomade that he pointed out was it's hold. He slept with it in his hair one day as we were taking a nap and when he woke up, his hair still looked great! Using this product means that your hair won't fall throughout the day and you don't have to worry about your style splitting.

The thing that I noticed most was the smell. It's not super strong, but it's noticeable. At first I thought it had a mint smell...but that doesn't quite describe it. It smells familiar, but I can't place it. It's not a bad smell...just unique. After a while, I didn't notice it at all.

This pomade goes a long way! It only takes a little dollop to do the job, and since it holds all day, you don't have to reapply! It's a little thicker than other products, so that means that you're going to use even less.

If you're looking for an affordable alternative to high-priced and short-lived products, I'd highly suggest Le Garcon's Grooming Pomade!

OmegaPet Nail Clipper/File Combo Review!

Any time that I can review a PET product, I'm on it. When you've got around 30 mouths of various kinds to feed, anything helps! If I can test a product that will improve any of my pet's lives, I won't hesitate to do the work to get it!

Recently I was selected to review OmegaPet's Nail Clipper and File combo. My old pair of clippers was ancient (from my days of working at PetSmart) so I was excited to get a new pair to work with! It just so happens that I love this pair than my old pair (not something I thought I'd be saying) for several reasons! 

First: The handle is rubberized. It's easy to grip and, more importantly, hold on to. There's virtually no chance that your hand will slip mid-cut (which could result in pet injuries!). This also makes it comfortable to hold and easy to find a good angle to cut from. 

Next: The overall design is very efficient. The clippers fit in my hand, are easy to grasp, and the file slips in and out of one side of the bottom of the handles. The file is sturdy and works really well on cat nails! This isn't really a matter of use, but I love the color scheme and design! It's cute and sharp looking! They're easy to find quickly because of their coloring. 

Finally: these clippers cut quickly and with no resistance. If your clippers are being "difficult", it's time to replace them. You don't want to continue to use dull clippers or clippers that don't operate smoothly. Luckily, my old clippers hadn't reached that stage yet...they just left a lot to be desired in the comfort of holding. These clippers make cutting quick and painless.

I'd highly suggest these clippers if you're looking for a new pair or even a better pair! They're such high quality and have so many awesome features that you can't go wrong! Get your pair here! See my video below!

FurMaster is FURnominal!

Hello, hello all!

I wanted to take a minute to give you a review of an awesome, game-changing product that I was recently selected to review for...you guessed it! FREE! Anyone familiar with our household knows that we've rescued dozens of animals! Needless to say, between the cat army and the dogs (two of which are long haired!), we can't catch a break from hair! It gets EVERYWHERE! I decided to apply for this promotion after I got fed up with our BED being covered! We've bought cheap brushes from local retailers previously, and while they did take out a lot hair, I've discovered they weren't REALLY getting to the root of the problem: the under coat, or, deep down.

I really like the FurMaster! Not only has it taken out a LOT of hair that I didn't realize was still clinging to our pets, but it's convenient for brushing multiple animals in one setting. The handle is comfortable to hold and grip, the brush is a good size for large cats/small/medium/large dogs, and the BUTTON! This button is my absolute favorite part! When the blade is full, push the button downwards, and a rake-like mechanism pushes the hair into your trash bag (for the purpose of this demo, the floor! The blade didn't get hot and didn't seem to irritate the skin. It was easy to clean up and the blades are very sturdy!

Arrow was my initially-hesitant volunteer. I'm very impressed at how it got down into his extremely long Pomeranian hair. He weighs MAYBE five pounds and this brush worked fine on him. After his brushing, he was extremely soft and his hair shone. He even got comfortable and laid down towards the end! I have no doubt that he will learn to love his grooms with time!

I plan to use this brush on all of of cats and our Great Pyrenees!

One for the Kitt-ays!

If you're familiar with Mc Chris or Aqua Teen Hunger Force, you'll know EXACTLY how to say the title of my blog post!

Skottie loves her new Kitty Cat Arch!

Typically, I'm reaching for beauty products to review because my skin is HORRIBLE on more days than not. However, because of mine and my husband's rescue efforts, I've decided that another section of my blog will be pets! Yes..pets. Although it's not necessarily up the same alley as health and beauty, I decided to go for these kinds of reviews because of the work that my husband and I put in to rescuing, adopting, and rehabbing animals. Our current brood includes: 12 cats (I believe we only took three or four of these in of our own initiative...the rest were rescues), four dogs (taken by our initiative from some TERRIBLE conditions), a bearded dragon, a chameleon, a Russian tortoise, two hedgehogs, four pythons, a rat snake, and a sand boa. Whew!

Anyway...I really wanted to try a product that I could recommend to those who visit our kitty clan or even those who adopt from our selection of rescues in the future. So in return for being able to test this scratch post, I've promised to provide the link and my recommendation to new cat-parents! It's easy to do with such an awesome product, honestly!

I didn't know what to expect, but I knew that I had high hopes that I would FINALLY get a quality scratcher for the cats. I've bought a few over the years from Wal-Mart and PetSmart and they ALWAYS fall apart after a while. If not that, they don't go together well in the first place!

The Davidson cats approve!

When the Kitty Cat Arch Self Groomer arrived, the first thing I noticed was that the box looked professional and was bright and eye-catching. Sometimes, with product reviews, the packaging isn't the best. Already, I liked it based on first appearance! When we opened the box, the pieces were easy to slide out and the scratcher was VERY easy to assemble. So far so good! BUT the real test came with one cat hesitantly approached the scratcher. Then another...then another. Soon, there were five cats clawing, scratching, rolling on, and trying to pull over the toy. And guess what? It survived! It didn't come undone and it didn't break! In fact, it has held up through daily use by all 12 of our cats! Another added bonus (besides the catnip you get with it!) is that the base of the toy is carpeted! My Sunshine LOVES sharpening her claws and NOW she has a place to do it BESIDES my couch!

Overall, I rate this toy at 5/5 for quality, affordability, and attractiveness to cats! It's very sturdy and much better than those other brands you find online and in stores!
