My life been particularly interesting and busy lately. I adopted my rescue kitty, Leon, started my small business, got into the top 30 of the Pacifica Beauty Muse contest, and started to workout more, adding hula-hooping in there!
Pacifica Beauty is looking for their 2016 muse. I’ve always loved animals, and that’s why I use vegan products like Pacifica. Winner gets the title, as well as some serious dough and products. I would love to win because I have been dying to start a vegan ice cream stand in my community! Be sure to check out the second round of the contest and VOTE FOR ME!
As for the small business, I created it out of need for myself, actually. But it turned out to be something other people needed, too. It’s a colored dry shampoo powder made by hand. It absorbs the oils in the hair and scalp so you can go longer without shampooing-making your colors last longer! Stores carry them in natural colors. However, mine come in pink, blue and every color of the rainbow. Fun, right?
Leon was a neighborhood kitty.
He became gravely ill quickly and my husband (having the huge heart that he does) immediately took him to the local vet clinic. They said he had a serious gut impaction, so he wouldn’t eat or drink; we thought we may just have him until he passed away. The cost for his surgery was far beyond our wildest dreams and is also very dangerous. I sat with him on my lap and started adding water to his food (per my mom’s advice). He would eat if I held him, which made for long days.
One day, I decided to take a chance and add ground flax to his food and water and had him eat it all up. It had been two weeks since he’d gone to the bathroom. A few days later, the hubby and I did the happy poo poo dance because Leon passed a giant log in the litter box! Leon seems to be my baby. He follows me and anytime I sit, he’s on my lap. Yes, I mean anytime, including bathroom time…
As for hooping, I recently bought a weighted hoop. It’s a pretty darn easy exercise, and I do it while watching TV or while chatting with friends. I am trying the 30 day challenge of 30 minutes a day for 30 days– not to loose weight, but just to get healthier.
Always strive to be better than you were yesterday!
