I used to struggle with finding pieces of active wear that I actually liked and let’s be honest fit right. I came across prAna last year, and loved that their pieces are stylish and durable. I liked them so much that I shared them in my Holiday Gift Guide. I’m happy to report that I’m still in lurve. I’m especially obsessed with their LEDA PANT (they’ve got pockets y’all). They’re not just for working out either. prAna clothes are made to be worn to yoga or the gym but cute enough to be worn to lunch, dinner, or other daily activities. #ActiveEverywhere
As if I didn’t already love their pants enough, their pants come with a guarantee that they’re not see through! Which is super important amiright? Y’all know what I’m talking about (cough cough yoga).

PetArmor Plus – Flea and Tick Prevention
PetArmor Plus – Flea and Tick Prevention. It’s available for dogs and cats. Because fleas and ticks happen.
Post sponsored by Mirum. Opinions are 100% my own.
Our pets are part of the family. I’m sure you feel the same way about your pets. No matter how vigilant of a pet parent we are, fleas and ticks can happen. It has definitely happened to my dogs. We’ve got a lot of woods around us and we’re outside A LOT. It’s not fun for us or them but we survived with a little help from PetArmor Plus. While we can all have parental guilt, it’s not a pet parent fail. It’s all part of the joy of pet parenting. Luckily, there’s an easy and affordable option to help prevent future problems – PetArmor Plus and it’s available at Walmart .
You can rest easy because it’s vet quality. Not to mention the sheer convenience of being able to pop over to your local Walmart to purchase the PetArmor Plus product that’s appropriate for your fur baby. The boxes are easily labeled making it a no brainer to pick the one that’s right for your pet. My Tilly, is not quite 7 months and already 50+ plus pounds, so I chose the 45-88 lbs box.

I am a dog person through and through. I have two. A 5-year-old Beagle and a 6-month-old German Shepherd. They could not be more different if they tried. They both however love to eat. While I’m pretty particular about the food I put into my body, I know we don’t always think about our pets’ diets – let alone how the icky stuff they might pick up throughout the day affects them. I remain blissfully ignorant as to what they may pick up playing outside.
Spring is right around the corner (hallelujah) and it’s the perfect opportunity for a little spring-cleaning. I’m not referring to our houses, although I should get on that as well. It’s time to tidy up the toxins that have outstayed their welcome from winter. This March and April Supreme Source is sharing their 10-Day Pet Detox program.
Supreme Source Pet Food is here to help you detox your pet’s system with healthy ingredients and informational tools to make it easy for you to switch your pet’s food to something more nutritious. In just ten days your pet can be eating better. We’re excited for our pups to get started on the detox themselves!
Don’t worry there’s no kale smoothies required with this detox.

I’m still incredibly stuffed from Thanksgiving. Yes, it was several days ago now, but I went in like I was training for a world championship food competition. I’m proud to report I was victorious. My pants gave me the award. Now that I’m looking down the glass of a protein shake I’m focusing my efforts on the remainder of the holiday season. Planning meals, thinking about hosting parties and of course the presents that I want to give to my friends and family. That requires shopping, during the holidays. Did that make you a little anxious?
Do you dread holiday shopping or love it? I actually am split between the two camps. How’s that possible? Let me tell you, I love gift giving, coming up with ideas for that perfect unique gift for each person on my list makes me ridiculously happy. I’m just not fond of the actual shopping part.

This is a sponsored by America’s Farmers Community Outreach programs, but views and thoughts are my own.
Last month I shared why I’m My Town Proud. I’m sharing more about this campaign called My Town. It’s a celebration of the people, places and stories that make small towns great through a series of video content that highlights the innovative and altruistic nature of rural communities. I’m pro small town if you couldn’t tell. I absolutely have a giant case of wanderlust. I love traveling (I’ve been all over the country and world) to experience other cities and cultures but I could never imagine myself living anywhere but in a small town.

This is a sponsored by America’s Farmers Community Outreach programs, but views and thoughts are my own.
I live in an extremely small town in North Carolina. I’m talking less than a dozen stop lights small. It exemplifies the term small town USA. Small towns are often portrayed as being full of challenges or being less than let’s say optimal their counterpart cities. I think that every town – city or metropolis is full of challenges. I also think rural communities are full of so many positive attributes that you won’t find in larger cities. I’ve traveled a good portion of the world but I always come home to a small town. I’m proud to say I am and will more than likely always be a small town USA girl. I’m excited to share what I love about my small town.

DIY Lavender Orange Sugar Scrub
DIY Lavender Sugar Scrub.
Have I ever mentioned that I’m obsessed with scrubs? I am. Instead of buying them in stores or at the spa, I save a ton of money by making my own at home. Not only am I saving money I can control what goes into my scrubs. Winning. It’s going on your skin after all. I also like making small batches (2 small jars) at a time so that I can experiment with different combinations. I’m guessing since a handful of our kitchen beauty products (both sugar and salt scrubs) are in the blog’s top 10 best read and loved posts EVAH EVAH that y’all dig them too. So we’ll keep on scrubbing until we can’t scrub no mo. Okay that was bad, I probably should’ve had more coffee today. Sorry.

Exactly that, you take the pizza home to bake in your own oven so it’s fresh and HOT right out of the oven when you’re ready to enjoy it. No more lukewarm pizza by the time you get home after picking one up.

DIY GLITTER RIMMED MASON JARS – Made using old canning jars. Add an arrangement of flowers or even makeup (even paint) brushes for a complete gift.
I can assure you I’m not the craftiest person in the world, more stubborn than crafty but if I can make these gifts, so can you. We’ve got everything from decorative jars, to candles, to scrubs (both salt and sugar) to play dough for the kids to even a DIY mirror spruce up from that goodwill or garage sale find. You might even find you don’t want to give a few of these away and keep them for yourselves. They’re all budget friendly and like I said incredibly easy to make. A little time, a little glitter (because sparkle all the things) and you’ve got yourself a thoughtful gift to give for the holidays (or just because you want to make someone smile, there should be more of that in life.)

Now that we’re all stuffed and working our way back into our regular clothes (please tell me I’m not the only one) it’s time to start thinking about the gifts we’re going to be giving over the holidays. I would love to tell you I’m one of those people that already have their shopping done and all my gifts wrapped but that’s SO far from the truth. I always wait until December to get started and I’m thankful that there are places like UncommonGoods where I can find things as unique as the people that I’m buying them for. My favorite rocks glasses came from UncommonGoods. I do enjoy a glass of bourbon and I like to drink it out of a glass as unique as my bourbon itself. The UncommonGoods CityMap Glass fits that bill. You can take a mental stroll through familiar streets with this rocks glass, etched with your city’s distinct grid. Grab a set of glasses, add a bottle of their favorite beverage and maybe even a set of the NeighborWOODS (yes, wood, they’re made from Cedar) map coasters and you’ve got the sipping aficionado on your list covered.

Charlie aka Chuck is our rescued Beagle Hound. He’s the most laid back dog on the planet until you open the back door and then it’s like he’s drank a gallon of energy drinks and off he goes into the woods to chase deer and squirrels and all the other animals that’s hell never ever catch. I do have to admire his persistence though. OR when it’s time for a trip to the vet or the groomer. Then he tucks tail and becomes a nervous Norman.
