Once a very long time ago, I had pets … dog, budgies, cockatiels, guinea pigs, fish (but generally not all at the same time). I had dreams of becoming a veterinarian when I grew up, because that would mean that I could spend all my time with animals! I was an avid reader of James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small novel; I watched Doctor Doolittle as if my life depended on it; I pored over books that featured animals in prominent, if not leading roles (Where the Red Fern Grows, Black Beauty, and The Black Stallion, to name a few); and you could not tear me aware from the boob tube when the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge Agility and the Westminster Kennel Club Best in Show shows were being televised. I had memorized some 200 breeds of dogs before I turned 10; and still, there are so many breeds out there that, to this day, I am left amazed and wonder, “How come I didn't know about this breed?” So this list shows the breeds, old and new, that have piqued my interest, plus my recs for pet essentials.

I have never been the biggest fan of cooking, so I never dabbled in the craft much. However, now I am a SAHM and do mostly all the cooking… So I am constantly on the lookout for new recipes to try.

Makeup girlies with sensitive dry skin and contact dermatitis… this is the list I WISH existed when I was reacting to literally everything. I need formulas that don’t sting my eyes, don’t burn my barrier, and don’t trigger flares — while still looking smooth, hydrated and not cakey on dry skin. These are products that genuinely perform AND don’t destroy your skin in the process. These are my everyday safe makeup staples that actually cooperate with fragile skin. Nothing irritating. Nothing sneaky. Just gentle, barrier friendly, non-sensitizing makeup that still looks beautiful and wearable daily.
