**I received product in exchange for my honest review.  All opinions are my own. ** This is my grandcat, Bean.  He was our guinea pig since my cat is a jerk and won't eat wet food.  Bean loved Hills Science Diet Adult Savory Entrees.  I chose the variety pack and he went nuts for every flavor!  There were turkey, chicken and turkey liver.  I really liked the consistency; it seemed more like human food to me.  And with Hill's, they make sure their food is as nutritious as it is delicious. They include vitamins, minerals and amino acids.  I would highly recommend this for your cat!

**I was given product in exchange for my honest opinion.  All opinions are my own and my granddogs'** Look at those good boys waiting patiently for their Merrick Fresh Kisses Holiday Mint treats! These treats are adorable.  They look like little toothbrushes.  And they really make their breath smell better.  They are infused with mint breath strips.  I have to say,  Bolt liked these more than Bentley.  Bentley could take them or leave them.  He's not a minty kind of guy I guess.  But Bolt loved them.  These would make a great gift for the fur babies in your life this Christmas! Go check them out on Chewy.com !

As some of you know, I am over 40. Almost 42 to be exact.  And a few weeks ago, I got it in my head that I was too overweight.  If you consult a BMI chart and look up what I should weigh based on my height,  I am morbidly obese. That says I should weigh 120. Let's just say I am no where close to that, nor have I been for quite a few years.  I decided to diet.  I am horrible at dieting.  I have a mean sweet tooth and no self control.  But I bought my Slimfast shakes and started.  I was miserable. And only lost 2 pounds.  Then I had a realization.  No matter what I do, this body will never be the body I had in my teens or even 20s. It has gone through too many changes.  My hips will never fit into a size 3 again because I carried three children.  They destroyed me.  (Kidding) And now, after all those changes it's been through, we are headed into perimenopause. This realization changed my perspective immensely.  I am ...

 We have a lot of stomach issues in this house.  BothBubby and Doodle have been to a stomach doctor before.  They never really were diagnosed with anything, but from time to time, their stomachs will be upset. I'm always looking for natural ways to relieve their symptoms. I was thrilled to find UpSpring Stomach Settle.  These little hard candy- like stomach reliever is all natural.  It contains ginger, spearmint, lemon and B6. It works for nausea, upset stomach,  indigestion, gas and motion sickness.  I tried one three other night when I had some indigestion and it tastes really good! I really liked it.  And it helped my stomach quickly.  I like you can give this at any age, as long as they are big enough to have hard candy.  You can find them on Amazon and Wal-Mart .
