My dogs crave

Ruger and Remi are my fur-children.  They are a bit spoiled, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

Before the plush ban, Ruger and Remi loved these toys.  The company has both stuffed and stuffing-free options and puzzle-style toys to keep doggos engaged for hours.

When my dogs get finicky, I use this human-grade dog food as a topper.  It can be used alone as well.  I use the dehydrated version and store it and reconstitute small batches

My penchant for skin care and things that smell nice

Most of my skin care routine revolves around anti-aging products.  Hydration, firming and wrinkle minimizing are my current goals.  My current fragrances center on complex, yet fresh, and intriguing smells

Bond no 9 is chic and complex.  They are costly, but their quality stands for itself.  The notes are beautiful collaborations.  New York Patchouli is one of my favorites of all.  Some of the other close seconds are New York Musk, My New York, and Off Broadway.

Founded in 1872, Shiseido has remained a very popular global brand.  This serum is worth the accolades (238 beauty awards!!).  After cleansing, I apply this serum and then my tretinoin at night, followed by a rich Shiseido moisturizing cream, such as Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming cream.  It really seems to enhance the effects of the other products as well as provide some powerful moisturizing ingredients.

This fragrance is divine!  I love Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino.  This fragrance is similar, and some claim it lasts longer.  It's available in a small trial size.  It is fresh and light.

This cream is one of the first I have ever tried where my skin feels firmer after applying.  It is thick and luxurious.

This company is science-driven.  I was looking for EGF (epidermal growth factor) when I stumbled on their company.  They are so confident in their product that they sell whole products as well as purified extract to add to your existing products at home.

For the "Office"

Being a nurse is both challenging and amazing all in one.  The tools we use and the clothes we wear make our job a little more comfortable

These scrubs are my go-to for work.  They offer a core variety of styles and colors, and have limited-time colors as well.  The fabric and fit are fantastic and the price does not hurt the pocketbook.
