Why Two Dalmatians Are Better Than One

Image
On the many ‘Dalmatian Owner’ groups I am part of on Facebook, I often see people asking if it’s a good idea to get a second dalmatian, or if two is easier than one. Obviously, two Dalmatians means double the cost for food, insurance, toys, treats, beds etc, but to me, it is 1000% worth it. My younger dalmatian is 3 years old now and I got her as a 7 week old puppy. When Mia was around 6 months old, she was so desperate for a playmate, that we decided to rescue Ruby, who is now 9 years old. From day one, they adored each other (please note, this does not always happen and sometimes it can be difficult to introduce a second dog into the family). So this is what you can expect if you decide to take the plunge and get a second dalmatian. 1) They can play together So when we rescued Ruby, we were actually told that she was 2 years old, so we thought she would be the perfect match for Mia (6 months old at the time). We later found out she was actually 6 years old, but she still

The Best Of The Best For Pale Skin

I keep seeing people asking for the 'best concealers for pale skin' or 'best bronzers for pale skin' etc etc, so I thought I would summarise for each 'face make up' category, what my favourite products are for pale skinned beauties. I tried to keep it at 2 products for each category but there are too many amazing products to narrow them all down to 2! These include both high-end and more affordable options. White Mixers: Manic Panic Dreamtone Flawless Foundation - White - £9.99 This is a white foundation which doesn't take away any coverage of your foundation and also doesn't change the finish- it simply lightens the foundation. The bottle comes with a pump and 30ml of product. You can find this on eBay or Amazon and some gothic clothing stores.  NYX Professional Make Up Pro Foundation Mixers - White - £8.00 This mixer has a slightly thicker consistency than the Manic Panic Dreamtone, which means you don't have to use as much product.

The Best Boots Own Brand Products

For those of you who don't know, I work for Boots - not in a sponsoring way, but I physically work in a Boots shop so since I've been working for Boots, I've tried a lot of their own brand products. These products are all products that I have repurchased or just love and it is my 100% honest opinion. A lot of people don't know that brands such as Natural Collection, Seventeen, No7, CYO and Your Good Skin are all created by Boots. CYO is the new replacement for Seventeen, which is being discontinued between now and August, however, currently you can still purchase Seventeen on their website and in most stores and you can also buy CYO online currently. I was going to include a few haircare products in this post, as I love their hair mask and colour shampoo, however, they are no longer on the website so I think they have been discontinued. Natural Collection Blush & Glow (Pink & Bronze) - £2.49 each - These products were released when they repackaged Natu
