Best Christmas Presents for Pets!!

November 28, 2022

I absolutely love this time of year because I love sharing my gift guides! I figured I would kick off this series with the best Christmas presents for pets! Furry friends are usually the easiest to grab for but I wanted to put together this really unique list of presents you’ll both love!

I love shopping for my Frenchie Sky all year so I always find Christmas to be tricky! You don’t want to purchase too many things you know they won’t use but you want to make them feel like part of the family! This list is actual things I am planning on or already have purchased for her this year!

Furbo 360 Pet Camera

Shop Here

This camera will truly be game changer as I have the original but this one swivels! You can turn it all the way around which means you have full view of the room your pet is in. I have such piece of mind knowing I can see Sky when I’m not home and I love that now I can literally see everything. I also pay for the Furbo dog nanny subscription which means it sends me all sorts of notifications on things she’s doing! This is also a great gift idea if you don’t want a whole new camera!

Béis Pet Carrier

Shop Here

Now that the world is open again we’ve been doing a lot of traveling with Sky! For some reason she only likes to sit on my lap in the car which isn’t safe at all so she will be getting this travel carrier this Christmas! We’ve tried car seat but I love this one because it’s TSA approved and fits dogs up to 30 lbs which she is! I like that this expands and has an attachment to slide a seatbelt through or just your suitcase handles so she’s secure!

Pet Stroller

Shop Here

Now this was something I didn’t know I needed, until I got it! I joked for awhile that I was getting stroller for long walks but I finally got one and it has changed everything! First of all, Sky loves it! We went to the boardwalk with it and she even walked around on Halloween in it! It’s perfect for her when we’re in busy places that make be nervous to have her on the leash. This one was also incredibly inexpensive and she fits perfectly in it.

Bocce’s Treat Subscription Box

Shop here

First of all, have you ever seen anything cuter?? Also, this treat box seriously makes her month! We signed up for this box because I love the ingredients they use and all the flavors Sky loves! This is a great gift idea because this ensures that you’re only getting what you need every month! From treats, to poop bags and dental treats this box has everything you and your dog or cat need to get through the month!

Walking Leash

Shop here

Sky and I are obsessed with this hands free leash! It makes my life so easy because I have 2 hands to do whatever I need with. She’s also not big so this works perfectly for us because she’s not pulling me down. This is perfect for coffee runs or now as it gets colder you can keep your hands warm in your pockets and she still gets a walk in!

I hope these best Christmas presents for pets gave you some ideas on what to get your furry friend this holiday season! Filling up a stocking for her is also my favorite so I always add her treats and favorite bones in that!

My Pet Travel Essential Must Haves!

July 18, 2022

Traveling with your pet can be so much fun! As long as you have a clear game plan and items to help make your life easier, it can truly be a breeze. I wanted to share my pet travel essential items with you so can bring your pup wherever you go!

My biggest tip for traveling with your pet is plan it out right. We like to leave either first thing in the morning after she has breakfast and pottys or at night after dinner. It just helps to eliminate potty trips and we know she’ll be ready to sleep.

Pet Carrier- Click Here

I think this one depends on where you’re going but I love this carrier from wild one. It is perfect to pop sky in and just go. Wild One also has an airplane carrier too at I would be interested in testing out because it’s TSA approved. Carriers are just great when you don’t necessarily want your pet on a leash and need to comfortably carry them.

Stroller Fan- Click Here

This is absolutely a stroller fan for babies but is so perfect for your pet. I like it in the back seat with Sky when traveling just to ensure the air is reaching her and keeping her cool. I like that this is portable so it can come on walks, in the car, or just use it in the house on really hot summer days.

Car Seat- Click Here

I have shared my Pup Saver car seat so many times but we’ve found on a longer drive, this kind of carseat is way comfier for her. It is similar to her bed so she can just curl up and sleep. Car seats are essential in keeping your bet save and I love this one to keep her comfy.

Calming Treats- Click Here

We’re not big on calming supplements for Sky but these treats are great. Not only do they smell great but they have some ingredients that help promote relaxation. She usually is fine in the car but I like to have something like this on hand just to be sure we’re covered if she gets a little anxious.

Travel Water Bottle- Click Here

This water bottle is definitely the most important travel essential. I love that the water goes back in the bottle so that it can save the rest. This is great just to have on a daily basis and it’s super inexpensive.

As you can see, these pet travel essential products are wide ranging. Sometimes it can be really overwhelming if you are unprepared. I hope these travel products help you and your pet have the best trip ever!

Pet Favorites I Can’t Live Without!

March 16, 2022

Now that I’m a dog mom, I am always on the look out for new pet favorites. Today’s bonus post is dedicated to all the products I’ve found that make life so much easier. I think that the key to having a pet is finding products that work for the both of you.

As we head into the warmer months, I find myself grabbing for these products even more on walks and trips. I have affiliate links to each product below but there is no pressure to purchase from them!

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag- Shop Here

This little bag is essential for my walks. I find that since we’re not wearing jackets in the spring with pockets, I need something like this. It perfectly fits my phone, keys, and of course treats for Sky.

Not only is this bag functional but I love that it is stylish and comes in lots of colors. This was also a great travel bag when we were on vacation but it fit everything I’d want to carry!

Snuffle Mat- Shop Here

At first glance you’re probably like you are crazy. This snuggle mat is seriously the greatest part of Sky’s day. I throw some treats in it, pull it smaller, and then she’s busy for about 15 minutes.

Enrichment toys like this are a great addition to your dogs day. They help to keep your dog busy and stimulate their brains. I like these especially on rainy days when Sky doesn’t want to walk but I know she needs to do something.

Freeze Dried Treats- Shop Here

Sky picked these out herself when we were at the pet store. They were on a bottom shelf and she wouldn’t stop sniffing them. She ended up loving them so we are now freeze dried raw people.

It’s funny because these used to gross me out but they really have a lot of health benefits for pups. I use these as a high value treat for her when we’re out and about and I need her attention.

I told you these bonus posts would be short and sweet! I’ve been enjoying putting them together for you to get more content out!

Let me know any pet favorites that you have tried or if you are planning to try any of these!! For more pet posts click here!

My 2022 Amazon Must Haves

January 3, 2022

I originally had a completely different idea for this post but I thought you would all enjoy my amazon must haves! I’ve curated this list based everything I purchased in 2021 and used throughout the year. To make it easier on you, I broke down the products based on their categories!

Sometimes I find that Amazon is overwhelming so I love posts like these that break down products people have tried and love. I am constantly ordering from Amazon so I feel like this post can be super helpful if you’re trying to find new things to try. Buckle up and grab a snack because this is a long one!

Beauty Amazon Must Haves

Acne Patches- Shop Here

These are such a great and inexpensive dupe for the more pricy products. These patches are great to put out at night at help to protect and deal with the small acne breakouts you might get. I really like these for how discreet they are as opposed to normal drying lotions.

Lymphatic Drainage Paddle- Shop Here

After seeing this all over Tik Tok and Instagram, I knew I had to get one for myself. Lymphatic drainage is really good for your circulation but honestly this gives you a nice massage too. I like to use this with a little lotion and really helps to relax me after a day of work, working out, and being on my feet.

Dry Brushes- Shop Here

Apparently I’m all about circulation because these brushes were so great. They’re a two pack for $9.99 and the quality is great. I love this when I want to exfoliate off a tan or just need to exfoliate in general.

Fashion Amazon Must Haves

Matching Workout Sets- Shop Here

This set is a true gem. I was very apprehensive to purchase it because based on the picture it doesn’t look like it will be good but it was a true game changer. Not only do I love the color but the material is super thick and really keeps you sucked in. I love this for a MWH workout or just running errands.

Crop Tanks- Shop Here

Many of you know I’m a dancer and teach so I want workout clothes that are good quality and not super baggy. These tops were a reorder for me 3 times this year because they are everything I’ve ever wanted. They are perfectly cropped and the fit is amazing. The price for 3 is also unbeatable.

Sports Bras- Shop Here

Guys!! This is a dupe for a Lululemon Bra!! I am a true Lululemon gal but because I dance everyday, I need enough bras to get me through the week. When I found these and tried them out, I will never go back to the Lulu bras because this is pretty much the exact same quality for half the price.

Household Amazon Must Haves

Mason Jars- Shop Here

If you’re like me, your morning drink is what you look forward to. Mine is a chai and there’s nothing I love more than having it in a cute cup. I found this pack on Amazon and have been using a cup a day this year since I got it. They’re super inexpensive and seriously are great because they come in a pack with lids and straws.

Chia Seeds- Shop Here

I definitely didn’t think I’d ever buy food from Amazon but these health food items are actually pretty inexpensive. I wanted to get more fiber into my diet and heard chia seeds are great for it so I ordered these and they were organic and a great price.

Cameras- Shop Here

This one is technically for pets but I wanted to mention it here since it’s not just for them. I love my Furbo for Sky but I wanted another camera in the house when I leave so I can check in. Unfortunately they don’t make another small one so I got this one from Amazon and it’s perfect. We use the Blink camera system already so adding this mini indoor one was perfect and it’s so inexpensive!

Pets

Dog Harness- Shop Here

Not the cutest harness ever but it is perfect. Sky is a bulldog and she is so strong that she’s actually broken through some harnesses. This one is sturdy and I know she’s locked in safe. She also has this thing where she hates things going over her head so this one is great because you can strap around it.

Dog Pool- Shop Here

For less than $20 bucks this foldable pool is perfect for the summer! We took this on vacation when we went away and Sky loved it. Because we were at the beach I didn’t want her to get sandy everyday so this ended up being perfect because she got to cool off but wasn’t getting itchy and gross from the sand.

Pet Mat- Shop Here

This became an instant favorite resting spot for Sky. She really loved that this was near the door to lay on when she wasn’t laying in her bed. I also liked it because if she was wet it helped to absorb it all up. I originally saw this on Tik Tok and knew it would be perfect for her.

These are literally products that got me through 2021. Sometimes products can be hit or miss on Amazon so I personally find posts like these so helpful. Not only does it give your product recommendations but it let’s you know what products are worth it.

My biggest tip for Amazon shopping is to read through the reviews before you purchase. I have been disappointed so many times because I purchased without seeing if it was legit. I hope these products give you some inspiration for the new year! You can check out another Amazon favorites here!

French Bulldog Life Hacks You Need to Know

October 15, 2021

I love my french bulldog but as many of you know, they are a very particular breed. After having her for now 2 years I can say I have found many french bulldog life hacks that I want to share. I love this breed but you have to be prepared to care for them and their many needs. You can read more posts like these here!

Bentonite Clay Shampoo

I’ve found that shampoos with Bentonite Clay work wonders for my ichy Frenchie. This class has been shown to work wonders for itch and hotspots which is something Sky suffers from over the summer. I love the Moosh brand shampoo because it’s all natural and doesn’t have harsh cleaning chemicals. For me, I would never want to put something on her skin that would potentially have bad effects later on. I stick to all natural and organic ointments and creams. This shampoo does the job to clean her and keep her skin soft and itch free.

Dasuquin Hip and Joint Supplements

I became interested in giving her hip and joint supplements after some research. Dasuquin was recommended to me by my vet so I have just stuck with it. Starting a pet on hip and joint supplements early, especially if they are a breed prone to issues, can help lessen the chances of developing major issues down the road. One thing I’ve learned with French Bulldogs is the key is to make sure they are bred well and then do everything you can for preventative care.

Portable Fan

This one is life changing. Everyone knows Frenchie’s overheat easily so it’s important to have ways to cool them down. I am obsessed with this little fan because it’s perfect to carry for her wherever we go. The flexible legs are great because I’ll attach them to her carseat in the car to give her an added level of coolness. This little fan from Amazon is powerful and I actually got the recommendation from my cousin who uses this on a baby stroller.

Life Jacket

Because Frenchie’s are top heavy, this French Bulldog life hacks is essential. Life jackets might seem pointless but they can save your pups life. We have this one from ruff wear because we needed one that would prop her head up enough. Some have a buckle around the neck but we need one that was all floating material to support her head so that she can’t get her head stuck.

I hope this French Bulldog life hacks post helps you whether you have a Frenchie or not. All of these tips and tricks are great for a different breed as well. Let me know in the comments below your French Bulldog life hacks or if you have any pet tips or tricks!
