Hello there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a very long hiatus from blogging I'm back!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am now the very proud owner of my Counselling diploma. It took 4 years of study. It was tough on many levels, but also amazing on just as many of those levels.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm now enjoying crafting again and finding new fabulous things to showcase here, including reviews and giveaways!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will see great products for your pets and handmade creations that I find or make and want to show you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may also include some DIY/upcycling posts too because who doesn't love a transformation, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really hope you will enjoy what is to come.</div>

I love my dogs so much and I want them to be here with me for as long as possible, which is why I feed mostly a raw meat and bones diet to them.</center>
<center>
This diet helps both their health and wellbeing and is great for their teeth too.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I'm not always perfect though and do give my Chihuahua boys a "nice nice" which is basically a kong filled with yummy cooked treats like quinoa, sweet potato, sweetcorn, cooked turkey...it really depends on the day, oh and they also get a quail egg once a week.</center>
<center>
I also sometimes give them something very naughty like a crisp or some biscuit :( </center>
<center>
So I am not perfect and because of this some tartar started to build on their perfect teeth, oh no! </center>
<center>
Once I got over my guilt I thought about how I must get to brushing their teeth again but I didn't want to use a tube of dog toothpaste that I had no idea what on earth it contained, so I decided to make my own.</center>
<center>
<br />I looked on the Internet and it seemed to be that bicarbonate of soda and oil was the main ingredient in homemade toothpaste for dogs.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
The link below is the recipe I followed. </center>
<center>
It gives you a rough guide on amounts, so eyeball it to get a nice consistency that looks/feels right.</center>

</center>
<center>
My dogs hate having their teeth brushed but it is so important for their health, unless you only feed raw meat and bones.</center>
<center>
<br />
</center>
<center>
Dog's mouths are more alkaline which encourages plaque build up.</center>
<center>
Plague builds on teeth, which is unhealthy bacteria and that bacteria can go into major organs in the body and cause all kinds of issues to the kindneys and heart, yikes.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Clenaing your dog's teeth can make them live longer!</center>

<br />
Many moons ago Iggy Starpup,the magical pug, was sent on a mission to bestow cute crafts and illustrations upon the people of Earth. Iggy has travelled far and wide across the galaxy and in her travels she has learned much about cuteness, love, and the power of tail wags. She uses this knowledge to enrich the lives of the human race and as an extra special treat she sprinkles a bit of moondust onto all of her creations. If you look real close you can see them sparkle!<br />

I had to share Chep art with you.</center>
<center>
Colourful, sweet and cute!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Here's a lovely little bio about Chep Art!</center>
<center>
<br />
<span class="null">Chep is a self-taught artist from Sheffield specialising in a cute, bold style. She recently graduated from university in London where she gained a First in English Literature, majoring in Philosophy. During university she balanced her art with her studies and managed to fit in a couple of exhibitions in London. She still hopes to pursue her love of Philosophy and writing, and is currently in the early stages of writing an academic article. But is now able to focus predominantly upon art. Her art is designed to make you smile and "make your walls happy". She works mainly with acrylics & more recently, exploring techniques with spray paints. Her usual materials are canvas or wood, but has started to make ornaments and will soon be producing prints of her pieces and expanding her product range. She regularly completes commissioned pieces for customers and has some new projects in the pipeline. An on-going project for the near future is to begin a children's book. This is very much in the preliminary stages, but hopefully from early next year, will become something she can dedicate some time to. Chep hopes that people will enjoy her characters and art, and perceive the fun she portrays within it.</span></center>

Hi there!<br />
Recently I had the pleasure of being involved in a photo shoot by a very talented photographer Jo Emmerson.</center>
<center>
The shoot was held at my friend Dotty's new store in Blackpool. </center>
<center>
Full of handmade and vintage wares.<br /><h2>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span itemprop="name">Eclectic, Dotty's Delightful Emporium & Handmade Heaven</span></span></h2>

Hi there!<br />
I decided that to help my talented artist friends out in my own way this season that I would feature them here through the whole of October and November, in the hope that you awesome people will throw some delish cash their way in return for some handmade fabulousness for you, your family and friends for Christmas!<br />
<br />
Without further a do let's start off with a real cracker (see what I did there).<br />
<br />
Deborah Darling!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Deborah makes wonderful vintage style dolls and mohair friends that are sure to be a family heirloom, should you buy one.</center>
<center>
She also makes charming accessories too.</center>
<center>
Deborah holds workshops in the U.K to teach you how to make these wonders for yourself , something I long to do with her.</center>
<center>
Deborah also hosts children's parties! Lucky kids, beats the musical chairs and ice cream I got!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Deborah also kindly offers a layaway payment system, if you pay a deposit to secure your treasure.</center>

Small glass bowl...</center>

<center>
Careful not to get turmeric paste anywhere you don't want it, it will stain! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Take a warm wet washcloth and dampen your face, this will open your pores.</center>
<center>
Add ingredients to make a paste then apply mixture to your face and neck. Including under your eyes, but be careful!</center>
<center>
The reasons we add to under our eyes is because turmeric is so anti inflammatory and helps pull out toxins, which is great for reducing puffy eyes etc.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Leave 5-10 minutes and then rinse off in the shower. </center>
<center>
Once all face mask is rinsed away, cleanse your face using the oil cleansing method, because the face mask will stain your skin slightly, and the oil will remove the any yellow staining.</center>
<center>
<br />
</center>
<center>
Because this will stain your face slightly this is best done in the evening. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Great way to improve your skin is the oil cleansing method. I do it daily and it is life changing!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Check out oil cleansing method online for more info!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Reduce the chemicals in your body, go natural! </center>
<center>
<br />
</center>
<center>
Now go enjoy great skin!<br />

It is that time of year in the U.K when the fleas are out and about ready to pounce on our fur babies.<br />
Those pesky pests! </center>
<center>
<br />
I stopped using chemical ridden and expensive flea treatments 12 years ago when one of my cats Oreo actually lost hair where the flea treatment was placed on the back of his neck...this really woke me up to what I was using on these trusting cats at the time. I realised how I was putting harsh chemicals on their skin every month...and therefore in the body of my precious cats, These harsh solutions were likely tested on animals too!<br />
<br />
Since those early days I researched the heck out of the subject.<br />
I have since only used natural flea repellents for my 2 dogs and 3 cats. In the 14 years I have had my cats they have only had fleas once..it was about 8 years ago.. we had such a wet summer that fleas were coming into the house and running rampant.<br />
<br />
I am so thankful that I learnt all I did and that my 5 year old dogs have never ever had harsh chemicals in their system.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our animal friends are far too precious for all those chemical ridden flea treatments.<br />
<br />
<br />
All of my animals are fed a grain free, raw meat/bones/organ meat/eggs diet which makes them much less desirable to fleas and other bugs. Fleas are very attracted to animals that eat a grain based diet, since it makes them quite “yeasty.” They also like pets with lower immune systems and who are not as healthy. </center>
<center>
<br />
The more healthy your animal companion is, the less likely they are to be nibbled.<br />
<br />
<br />
I make my own natural flea repellent! It's so easy to do.</center>
<center>
<br />

<br />
All you need:<br />
<br />
Spray bottle<br />
lavender essential oil<br />
Citronella essential oil<br />
Tea tree essential oil<br />
cheap vodka<br />
water<br />
<br />
To make things even easier, you can just use water and citronella oil as citronella mixes with water just fine...I say that as some essential oils need oil or alcohol to blend well.<br />
I only added alcohol to help blend the lavender and tea tree oils, as they do not blend well with water.<br />
Put the lavender and tea tree in your bottle first and fill the bottle 1/8 with alcohol, mix well, then add water and citronella (leave an 1/8 of the bottle empty so that the solution has room to mix and shake well)<br />
<br />
Simply spray some solution close to your pets neck and base of tail and work in to their skin with your finger tips, avoid their ears, eyes and mouth.<br />
Wash your hands after applying this solution to your fur baby just in case you have any on your hands..your pets hate the smell.<br />
<br />
You can also use this to spray on your skin too, to act as an insect repellent.</center>

I'm going to be brave here and talk about something that is still slightly taboo, masturbation. God I hate that word! I am not in the least bit embarrassed about it, nor do I feel uncomfortable talking about sex in general. I think talking about sex and sexuality is healthy. However I realise many women are still uncomfortable talking about it, despite likely enjoying it and having (maybe) a few toys. Or maybe there are some of you that loathes those fake willy type toys, I know I do.</center>
<center>
So here is something a bit different!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Iroha designs.</center>
<center>
Made by the Japanese company Tenga. </center>
<center>
Three in total:<br />
<br />
Yuki<br />
Midori<br />
Sakura </center>
<center>
Beautiful designs that look like Japanese candy.</center>
<center>
</center>

<center>
<center>
<br />
Iroha is a Japanese company that make self pleasure/self care toys for women designed by women.</center>
<center>
All their designs are very different to what is on the market right now.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
<br />
</center>
I chose to review this toy for you because I don't like all those fake willies and scary looking probing toys that look painful and porn like.They turn me about as off as you can get. If you are a woman that loves that kind of thing, each gal to their own.... we are all different and unique creatures afterall...but I know from talking with friends that when we don't like those big probing numbers, that we tend not to use anything, so this range is for them in mind. I do feel everyone, no matter what their usual toy, would no doubt love this.</center>
<center>
<br />
</center>
<center>
So what are they like?</center>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The simple controls are underneath the toy with a magnetic stand/charger..keeps the toy in place whilst charging..pretty sleek huh?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is ther stand with acrylic top on...keeps the toy safe whilst not in use/charging.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The toy feels so soft, which is due to the supple matt silicone, which warms to your skin quickly.<br />
There is a product inside the silicone skin that create a squidgy, soft feel, bliss!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<center>
The silicone is soft and feels just like skin. </center>
<center>
The toy fits comfortably in your hand.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Located underneath the toy are + and - buttons. You simply hold down the + to switch the toy on and the - to turn it off. There are 3 settings, one being a pulse setting. All settings are quiet but powerful. </center>
<center>
The toy is quiet too.<br />
Charging the toy is so easy, either via USB or the mains, includes a storage case that doubles as a magnetic charging dock. <br />
<br />
Despite being little and soft the Yuki (which is what I have) is a powerful lil thing and gives you very rewarding self care as and when you want it, very quickly!! :) See what I did there?</center>
<center>
You can wash the toy with soap and hot water and better to use a water based product with it.<br />
<br />
I am so impressed, not just with the toy, that is beautiful and wonderful to use, but in the design, the thought that has gone into this, the technology, everything. Colour me impressed.</center>
<center>
<br />
With a £63 price tag, you would expect it to be good and it is. </center>
<center>
The only downside of the toy is the initial chemical smell which comes from the Polyurethane Elastomer inside the silicone skin...it makes the toy feel soft...the smell does go away though!</center>
<center>
The other downside to some will be the price, no it isn't cheap but to be honest you really get what you pay for! </center>
<center>
Pros are that it is safe, easy to use, beautiful, fun, different, designed by women for women!</center>
<center>

Have you heard of Method? More importantly do you use it? I do and have done for some time now.<br />
I LOVE it. I love everything about it. I love the packaging. I love the writing on the packaging. I love that it is cruelty free. I love that it is made using non toxic and natural plant derived ingredients... I love that they have a sense of humour and and I love the fragrances they use. I LOVE that they make something as laborious as cleaning, FUN!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
These products are cool, ethical, smell great, don't hurt the fur babies, us or the planet and guess what...they work GREAT!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I am always telling anyone that will listen about method and I swear I don't work for them but I would if they asked me to!<br />

This is my go-to cleaner for many things...glass mirrors, window marks, wooden furniture etc, it's great and the lavender fragrance is so soothing and fresh.</center>
<center>
<br />
In my home I use their washing up liquid, kitchen cleaner, floor cleaner, handwash, bathroom cleaner, toilet wipes and multi-surface lavender cleaner, so yeah...bit of a fan :)<br />
<center>
So put the hurt on dirt and go get some method in your life!<br />

My hubby and I are so excited to find out that we have been offered an allotment near our home!</center>
<center>
We want so much to grow our own food and have done for many years but never had the garden that was suitable for it.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Our allotment is overgrown and in need of a lot of work, all of which my hubby is happy to sort out.</center>
<center>
We are just so grateful!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
When we went to visit the plot we found some blackcurrant bushes growing there, which is pretty awesome!</center>
<center>
I'm thinking how wonderful they will be in fruit smoothie this year.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
We got talking to the lady in the next plot...her plot was incredible. She had everything you could imagine and is a wealth of knowledge...she said she would help us figure it all out and said that others will help us too...which is so heartwarming.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I have dreamt of an allotment for 5 years!</center>
<center>
<br />

My hubby and I have so much to learn but are excited about turning this plot of land into an organic food growing Eden! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
If you want an allotment you have to contact your local council, or if you have a garden big enough to have a food patch, then you can find out a fair bit online..this website if very helpful : a<a href="http://www.allotment.org.uk/">llotment tips website</a></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I cannot wait to grow lavender, herbs, tomatoes, spinach, lettuce..taters and more!</center>

Anyone that knows me or reads this blog will know I do love to bake! </center>
<center>
Cookies my most favourite (cupcakes being a joint fave) to bake. </center>
<center>
The fun you can have with different cookie cutter shapes, the icing, the flavours, sky's the limit!<br />
Cookie baking is something great for the kids too. I remember many a happy time with my late Nana when I was a child. We baked away together making all sorts, the sound of the kenwood mixer and the wonderful oven smells....good times.<br />
<br />
Hobbycraft sells some great cookie cutters....I have been eyeballing them all today. Here are my two faves!<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>"Do you have any idea what it’s like to be ‘that’ girl? The girl who is totally badass, speaks her truth, makes money, follows her heart and has crazy-mad adventures? The girl who people stop in the street and ask hey, g-friend, what is your secret?. </b><b>When you’re ‘that’ girl, there is no secret. You’re SASSY".</b><br />
<b>Lisa Clark.<br />
</b><br />
<br />
Are you sassy? Could you do with a little bit of sass training?</center>
<center>
I was always a sassy thing....but I needed to learn to harness my power.</center>
<center>
<center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
This is a great book and I love the way Lisa writes. Her style is down to earth, relatable, cutesy and fun.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
The book takes you on your own journey of self lovin'...doesn't matter where you are in that journey..I think you will find it helpful. I did. There was some info and tips I had already applied and many were new and a huge help or a reminder to me. </center>
<center>
The book is a workshop/self help style book but delivered in such a way I doubt any would be turned off by that.</center>
<center>
You'll likely shed some tears, laugh, gain insight about yourself and have fun doing it :)</center>
<center>
I'm reading and re-reading it and it really has helped me. Many know I lost both Grandparents this year and have had health issues too but I am still standing, stronger than ever, this is just one of my tools.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Go read this and find your own superhero power within!</center>

Lovely Gramps passed away on may 25th..3 months to the day Nana passed away.<br />
They were two peas in a pod and despite Gramps having terrible Alzheimers, I think he knew she was gone and gave up.<br />
This photo is the last I have with him..so glad I took it. It is the last one I will ever have with him. It was taken the day Nana died and I felt it important to take it. <br />
<br />
He was a sweet and gentle man and a decent one too.<br />
<br />
It is far too hard to write any more right now without ending up a puddle on the floor but I just wanted a tribute to him on my blog.<br />
<br />
Losing them both in a short time isn't easy. They were my soft place to fall and very much like parents to me.<br />
<br />
I didn't have a father, so Gramps was like my Dad in many ways.<br />
<br />
Very grateful for all they did for me.<br />
<br />
Love you Gramps, hope you are dancing with Nana again. <br />

I have the pleasure of introducing you (if you haven't heard of them before) to <a href="http://www.splosh.com/">Splosh.com</a></center>
<center>
Splosh is a unique range of household cleaning products.</center>
<center>
<br />
</center>
<center>
Angus Grahame is the founder of Splosh and back in 2010 had a stroke of genius.</center>
<center>
He was throwing plastic bottles in the recycling bank and realised just how insane it all was, just how wasteful to recycle perfectly good bottles, so he decided to create a range of cleaning products where the bottles could be reused time and time again!</center>
<center>
He wanted to create a range that was Eco friendly, using plant based ingredients, cost effective and easy and fun to use.</center>
<center>
Splosh is only ordered online, cutting out the supermarket.</center>
<center>
I was eager for my Starter box to arrive in the mail. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>

Inside my box was:</center>
<center>
<center>
Almond floor cleaner </center>
<center>
Pomegranate and melon kitchen cleaner</center>
<center>
handwash</center>
<center>
Lavender laundry detergent</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
They arrive as empty bottles with highly concentrated sachets , all you do is insert the sachet and add water!</center>
<center>
This makes them very lightweight to deliver. </center>
<center>
When you finish a product, you simply order more sachets, you resuse your splosh bottles time after time..great for Mother Earth huh?</center>
<center>

The 4 product starter box is £12.95</center>

Splosh is better for the environment than recycling all those plastic bottles.</center>
<center>
They smell great. They clean great and they are</center>
<center>
cost effective too. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I love using the almond floor cleaner, really shines up laminate flooring a treat and works great on wood too.</center>
<center>
I was very happy with the products and the bottle quality. The scents are Divine too. </center>

The recipe made the most divine biscuits/cookies.</center>
<center>
They were zesty and light to eat, so much so I ate 10 in one go...I know..terrible!</center>
<center>
I did give some away when I went to see one of my friends last night though! :P</center>

Morning! </center>
<center>
Well here in my neck of the woods it has been divine.<br />
Gorgeous weather...</center>
<center>
My husband put our little summerhouse up at the end of the garden and we have all been enjoying it.</center>
<center>
It needs sanding and painting (teal and cream) and floor covering..but it is wonderful. A welcome retreat from the sun, a place for me to craft, be with the fur babies and chat to a friend that pops over, bliss!</center>
<center>
I am going to make some nice Cath Kidston Curtains and cushion covers, how twee! </center>

<center>
Totally VEGAN! </center>

I get so happy finding tasty vegan treats :)</center>

Great in salads and on potatoes.</center>
<center>
Well done Zest!</center>

I love Lush...lush is the best smelling store on the planet and it is nice to bring their yums home and have my bathroom, (then me after my tub/shower time) smell like a lush store!</center>
<center>
I treated myself to a new shampoo...daddy-o...this is the most wonderful shampoo for me, not only does it smell like my most fave candy (parma violets) but it tones doen my blonde roots and helps my pink cotton candy stay a nice tone.</center>
<center>
After using this shampoo I went online and bought 8 packs of giant parma violets :)<br />

Well hello there!</center>

Nutritional yeast flakes, ever heard of it?</center>
<center>
It's flipping Divine!</center>
<center>
So what is it?</center>
<center>
Nutritional yeast is made from a single-celled organism, <i>Saccharomyces Cerevisiae</i>, which is grown on molasses and then harvested, washed, and dried with heat to kill or “deactivate” it. Yeasts are members of the fungi family, like mushrooms! It is a great vegan source of B12!<br />
It is a source of protein and vitamins, especially B-complex vitamins, and is a complete protein It is also naturally low in fat and sodium and is free of Sugar and Dairy and gluten.</center>
<center>
It's also super tasty!</center>
<center>
So what does it taste like?</center>
<center>
It has a nutty, cheesy taste to it. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
So what do you do with it?</center>
<center>
Well...I personally adore it on a salad or in a stir fry.</center>
<center>
People pop it on salted popcorn too for a cheesy tasting snack.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
If you are a vegan or looking to lower your dairy intake..this is perfect.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Next on my delish list is Himalayan pink salt.</center>
<center>
What is it?</center>
<center>
It is an old, untouched pure form of salt, unrefined and still contains all nutrient value.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Most salts are highly refined, devoid of all original nutrients and oftentimes with harmful ingredients added...Himalayan pink salt contains 84 minerals and trace minerals, it is pure and unrefined.</center>
<center>
Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt is one of the purest salts you can get.</center>
<center>
Good source of iron.</center>
<center>
Great for skin!</center>
<center>
Great for sinus health</center>
<center>
Increases bone strength and much more!<br />
<br />

It's also very pretty to look at and is classed as a crystal.<br />
<br />
This crystal is also used to make lamps with.<br />
The crystals are believed to help purify the air and they have been shown to increase negative ions in the air..making your indoor air more healthy.<br />
Great to pop by your TV, computer, alarm clock etc.<br />
<br />
I really want to try a lamp....i have one on my pinterest as a hit to hubby for my birthday :)</center>
