Haute Dog Review and Giveaway

Let me just start off by saying I am sooo sorry to the lovely folks at Haute Dog. We got so swamped between school, surgery and personal problems that we have fallen behind in our reviews and giveaways. We will be posting 3 between now and tomorrow to catch up, so this is SUPER giveaway week! Who is ready to win?

This review was a little hard to take pictures for. Since I bathe my dog alone, or when I do have help it still takes 2 people to not have a soaking puppy run through the house. Let me just say, the package that we got from Haute Dog was sooo high end and beautiful! They sent us the Like A Rose Revitalizing Bath Gelee, let me say, it has the perfect amount of rose in it. The rose isnt all you get, it is a refreshing light scent, perfect for bath time!
Peaches is a difficult pup to wash, she loves to not get washed, she always tries to run away. And Kitty, well he loves to cry and act like the worst thing ever to happen to him. So, washing them weekly is a task, but let me say this scent has lasted on Peaches for over a week now, she didn't smell as bad after we went out in the ran as she normally would. Kitty, well he made a mess in the garage and his amazing scent lasted about a week, which is great for that guy!

Peaches says I smell amazing now, thanks to Haute Dog! I love the Bath Gelee, it was so rich and made my fur softer then ever. My mom said she even thinks it calmed my skin like I need since I like to scratch. The AMAZING 2 PAWS up Bath Gelee goes for $19 at Haute Dog, and let me tell you, it is well worth it! It doesnt take nearly as much as the cheaper brands to get a great lather and the scent last much longer.

Other great products from Haute Dog. Well they offer everything from sprays to aromatherpy tonics. They have it all! Made in the USA by someone who cares about my pup as much as I do. Not to mention all the products are vegan and shipped FREE to the continental US! How awesome is that, they even donate 5% of each sale to an animal charity, makeing them PAWTASTIC!

So who is now ready to bathe their furry best friend in an amazing bath gelee from Haute Dog?

Bow Bows 2 Go Go Fur Babies Line Review and Giveaway

Bow Bows 2 Go Go Fur Babies Line

Peaches wearing her Fur Baby Bow

When I started this month's giveaways, I was trying to think of ways to help bring awareness to stray pets and pet cancer. While I bought Peaches (I know, bad me) I bought her in honor of my childhood dog, Timber. A dog my parents adopted when I was about 5, they got him from an amazing rescue here in Oklahoma City, Free To Live. www.freetolive.org is an amazing group that I personally love! They have given us many pets that needed a good home and yes I did search shelters for a small dog before i found Peach and fell in love. I would like to announce that Bow Bows 2 Go Go gives 5% of all Fur Baby line bows to local animal shelters. So with that in mind, what Fur Baby do you want to put a bow on?

So with that said, on with the review! Peach and I understand not everyone dresses their dog like I do. While she loves her hoodies, jackets and of course her super cute dresses, she knows some of her furry friends dont. But she wants to let everyone know why she LOVES Fur Baby bows! Peach was sent a mini Fur Baby Bow to try out, it was orange and pink and PERFECT for her gameday hair do's. The bows over at Fur Baby's are a great deal! They are handmade with love for each pup and are better quality then those you could buy at the store. With a price tag of $2.50 per bow or $4 for a set, why wouldn't you give them a try.  Now it is time for Peach to tell you her view.

Well, I'm Peaches, I am almost 3 years old and I am a lovable Papillon. My mom found me 2 1/2 years ago at a local pet shop and said I was perfect for Timber, now this Timber guy, my uncle looked just like me except he was HUGE, so I always figured I was going to grow, well surprise to me, I stopped at 6 pounds. I am a tiny petite little pup, who loves to dress up. So now on to why I got this bow! I got the bow because I have long pretty hair, while I am not 100% on if I love bows on my head, I still think they are super cute. This one really was, so small and perfectly sized for my tiny head, and I loved the colors. Here is the bow I got!

My bow is so nice, the colors match perfectly and they even covered the clip, not something any of those big chains do. The people over at Bow Bows 2 Go Go were so nice to send me this bow to make sure that it is pup worthy and I say yes! Not only did I wear my bow, but I even played with it once I managed to shake it off my head. My mom says this bow is great, it didnt break when I got it off like the last one and it matches my jersey for the games. My cousin Bella was sad that she didn't get to be part of the review, but she has no hair..she is a pug so she cant help. But she did say it was pretty and that she wished she could have one. So now on to who wants to win a cute set of bows? Some lucky winner will win this set of bows. 

These are super cute and perfect for someone like me with long pretty hair.

A fall tradition....The Pumpkin Patch

Hi everyone! It's Ashley here. Well, if you haven't already noticed. It's fall and fall is my absolute favorite time of year! I'm not sure if it's the cooler temps, the pumpkins, the delicious (and fattening) comfort food, football season, fairs and festivals, the changing of leaves, the smell of cinnamon, or just knowing that the holidays are fastly approaching, but I LOVE FALL! So, to celebrate, my husband and I took our two children to Mitchell Farm in Collins, MS (http://mitchellfarms-ms.com/) a few weeks ago. The day was Saturday, October1. That day was their 1st Annual Peanut Festival and the opening of their pumpkin patch. It was Christian's 3rd time to go to Mitchell Farms and Presley's 1st time. You would think that boocoodles of pictures were taken of my two but they weren't. Why? Because my hubby forgot his camera. So, out popped the trusty Samsung Galaxy to the rescue. I think I managed to take just 4 pictures. I wasn't too upset because I knew we would be returning the following week for a birthday party. And boy, did we take pictures on October 8-too many pictures.

Christian's fave part was the huge sandpile and all the dump trucks he got to play with. Yes, I have a country boy at heart. Presley loved that she was able to strut her stuff. You would've thought that she was the model of Mitchell Farms. I enjoyed riding the trailor ride and learning that pumpkin seeds have to be watered as soon as they're planted. I didn't know that sunflowers require water as soon as they're picked. Did you? I posted a few pics for you to see. I would love to hear about how you're celebrating fall with your families.

P.S. If you love photo contests like I do, I encourage you to submit your children's fall photos to Whimsy Wildflower. You can visit her blog at http://whimsywildflower.blogspot.com/. Her fb page is  https://www.facebook.com/WhimsyWildflowers

Just email her up to 5 pictures and 6 winners will be chosen to receive custom pieces from her collection. Be sure to check her out and tell her that her friend, Ashley, sent you. Her email is whimsywildflower@yahoo.com

One more fun fall giveaway is from Thymes. I love Thymes products! If you haven't tried them, you definitely should. Right now on their site http://www.thymes.com/Autumn/, you can share your favorite fall memory. Three lucky submissions will receive a complete set of their Wildwood Collection (valued at $171.00). You better hurry. Both contests end on October 31! Good Luck!

Crazy Weekend..

 Okay, I know Peaches and I promised the post yesterday, but we had a bad weekend. It was one thing after another this weekend. Cole and our friend Keith put new rotors and pads on my car, problem was my bolts were so rusted they could not get them out. $40 later and 2 chewed up bolts, we got them out, then it was just putting them back on. We also Plasti Dipped my rims, a neat process where you spray rubber on anything, if you dont like it, it just peels right off and looks like it was never there! I love the results.. here is the before
and here is the after! Nice amazing rubber flat black rims!

 

I love the look! What do you think?

Next in the crazy..well we go to dinner with Cole's grandma, love going with her, she is a hoot! One heck of a lady who will make sure you get everything you can. Shortly after dinner, Cole and our friend started feeling sick, Cole got very pale and ending up loosing dinner. I made him stay home because I did not see him playing soccer as smart, so I tucked him in and went to my midnight game. After the game Keith, our friend, was pale as could be, he was racked twice during the game, on top of feeling like poo from dinner. Went home after the game and crashed! Woke up and went to Cole's Sunday, he was hungry so we went out with our friend Tab's for her birthday to Cafe Nova (LOVE the $15 ALL YOU CAN DRINK mimosas and brunch item). After that we went back to Cole's to finish my car..thats when I lost my world. I had my cell phone in my back pocket and it fell in the toilet! To put the cherry on top, it has all of my DR appts, which I know I have at least one this week and all my contacts for school, work and the blog! I was so scared! Come to find out, thanks to our insurance on our plan I only had to pay $130 to get a brand new phone! Bad thing is I have to wait till it comes in tomorrow. Then I have to try get the wet phone to turn on so I can get all the numbers and events. 

I sure hope this all works out, or I will be super sad. I have lost so much..but Cole was great and took me twice to go try and find a new phone yesterday. I love him!

That is all, back to my homework..hope everyone has a great day I will do the giveaway ASAP

Rough Weekend

Well this weekend has been one of the worst! I dropped my phone in the toilet..then the sink..and now I cant fully use my back up phone since my current one is a droid. So now I wait till my new phone comes in on Tuesday. I lost the cute photos peaches took, so I will post photos later, but put up our review and our giveaway!

Who is ready for a break from the bad world? ME ME ME! I hate that I cant even find anything on my phone.

Well, now it is time to go to class. Hope every one have a great day and I hope that I can not break or loose anything today.
