"Purr For A Cure" with Honeycat Cosmetics #Breastcancerawarenessmonth

Disclosure: We were not compensated for this post either monetarily or with product. Because of the importance of breast cancer research we would never accept compensation for this type of a post. Honeycat Cosmetics is donating 20% of their "Purr for the Cure" product sales to support breast cancer research.

 October is: "Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), also referred to in America as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), It is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer."

I am willing to venture that virtually every one of you reading this post have dealt with this awful disease, either directly or indirectly. I have family members who are breast cancer survivors and sadly I know others, (such as my mother-in-law whom I adored),  who have succumbed to this evil disease.

I am already a huge fan of Honeycat Cosmetics and recently featured them on our blog.  Sadly, our dear friend Theresa from Honeycat Cosmetics has also witnessed this ugly disease:

From Honeycat: Before starting Honeycat Cosmetics I was very active in Women's Health Care. Unfortunately, too many times I have witnessed first hand the ravages of this disease. Young women, old women and everything in between. I personally had to surrender a cousin and a close childhood friend to breast cancer, but where there is life, there is also hope. It's always too soon to give up. These are some of the reasons that Honeycat considers it an honor and duty to donate 20% of sales of our " Purr For The Cure " items in support of breast cancer research.  Like Daenerys Targaryen we must slay and subdue this dragon that is, breast cancer.

ITEMS AVAILABLE ARE:

Friday Fun Find! Pawz 'N' Clawz Unique Handmade Jewelry

There are many things I love about blogging, and right there at the forefront are the amazing and talented people I have had the pleasure of meeting along the way. I have been blessed to meet a number of them in person, but most I only know from my online interactions, Jenna from Love Is being Owned By A Husky is one I haven't had the pleasure of meeting in person (YET), but one day I hope that I will. She is truly one of my favorite people, and her blog is darling.

Click here to visit!!

Yes, the blog is primarily about the three incredibly gorgeous Huskies that Jenna has, but she also has cats "in da house!!" (She happens to have THREE cats.)

I love her blog for many reasons but at the top of the list is how much I have learned about the Husky breed. I think they are beautiful and have greatly enjoyed learning more about them through the information that Jenna regularly shares.

Jenna came on to the blogging scene like a dynamo! She is not only one of the most thoughtful, genuine, unassuming and friendly people I have had the pleasure of knowing, she also exudes love, you can feel it directed at her fur babies as well as everyone who has had the pleasure of meeting her.

Jenna makes it a point to visit each and every person who leaves a comment on her blog and she is a part of nearly every Blog Hop that exists! Her energy makes me dizzy!!! I often marvel at the amazing detail and information she puts in her blog and the amount of visiting and commenting on the blogs of others that she does,  because she is not only a fur baby Mom, she has human children of her own and a husband! I have no clue where she finds the time!

A few months ago, Jenna and her Mom (Lisa), decided to become partners and opened the online shop called:

Click to visit!

Lisa's mother has a talent for making handmade jewelry and also does quite a bit of work with wood.

I had visited Jenna and Lisa's shop page  a number of times, and finally, a few weeks ago I decided to make a purchase!

I was pleased with the entire ordering experience, and the speed in which my order arrived.

The item I ordered was the "I Love My Cat" charm bracelet pictured below:

This bracelet is even PRETTIER in person!!!! When it arrived it came in a lovely and dainty pink bag:

To me, presentation is EVERYTHING....I have ordered jewelry in the past from individuals who merely wrap their jewelry in tissue (if you are lucky), no bag, no box, NOTHING. Did I order from them again? What do you think? That's right, make that a resounding NO!  The packaging above impressed me and made me eager to open the pretty parcel immediately upon it's arrival.
Let me tell you I was NOT disappointed!

The photo doesn't begin to do the bracelet justice, it is soooo pretty in person! Green is my favorite color and the green hue in the stones above is beautiful!

Let's not forget the adorable cat charm!

One of my favorite features of this bracelet is the lobster claw clasp...it might sound minor to some, but to me it is HUGE. Those that know me know that I am FAR from petite. I have a hard time buying bracelets because they often don't fit my wrists because of my large bones. This bracelet has the lobster claw clasp and links that are longer than average, making the bracelet COMPLETELY adjustable!!! GENIUS!!!!! It fits me perfectly and a tiny-boned person would be able to wear it as well!! There is nothing better than an adjustable bracelet!

I encourage you to visit Pawz 'N' Clawz and see for yourself. Have a special request? Jenna and Lisa are here to help you!  From Jenna and Lisa:

We love our pets, and so do you! Show your love for pets through one of our unique designs!

We have now launched a new program! 
For every $100.00 Pawz 'n' Clawz makes, we will be donating a portion of the proceeds to our local shelters!

• Flat rate shipping charge $4.00 WORLDWIDE!

Questions? Feel free to contact Lisa or Jenna at :

Nope! I was not compensated to feature Pawz 'n' Clawz, nor was I given my bracelet in exchange for this review. I BOUGHT it myself! I am quite pleased with it and wanted those of you who might not be familiar with them to go and check them out!

Custom Body Pillows are the Cat's Meow! World-Wide Give-Away!

To say I was completely thrilled is an understatement when I was contacted by Custom Body Pillows asking if I would like my own free personal keepsake pillow in exchange for an honest review on my site! I was ecstatic! I had seen them featured on one of my favorite blogs and was honored to be offered the same opportunity!

Everything You Love.... Pillowtized!

Custom Body Pillows are unique, and make an incredible gift for housewarmings, weddings, graduations, new babies, they are a thoughtful and unique gift that is pretty much suitable for nearly any event, or for any person that you can think of! . They aren't a gift that will be tossed into another room and forgotten, your custom designed pillow will become a cherished keepsake for years to come!

The process couldn't be easier, if I could do it, anyone can!

From the Custom Body Pillow website:
Simply upload your own high resolution photograph and we will transform it into a wonderful body pillow.
We do not recommend using photographs taken from a cell phone.

Images are digitally printed onto silky smooth satin. The image is permanent. It will never crack or fade and colors will never wash out.

For the back side of the pillow, you can choose from a variety of materials and colors.

The back side of the pillow is the black pillow above. It is soft and cushy!!!!!

I chose a photo of a painting that was done of Cody and Dakota because I wanted them both to be included on the pillow.

This is the photo I chose.

 It is a photo of a painting that was done for me by Ashley Beech Reid.

I was also one of the first people to use a cell phone photo (of course), instead of using a photo from a digital camera and trust me, there is no way that anyone could tell the difference when they see how gorgeous my pillow is! The process of choosing your photo and uploading it onto their website is as easy as 1-2-3!!

You decide upon the style and size pillow that you would like, the pillow that I received was a CUSHION pillow, also known as a Half-Size pillow. Don't let the name fool you, there is NOTHING small about this! It measures 21"x18" and sells for $69 (plus shipping and handling+tax if applicable. When it arrived I was SHOCKED by how large it was, I never expected it to be such an impressive size) The FULL size measures 42"x20" and sells for $119.00. Pillows are made 100% in the USA.  ORDER WILL BE SHIPPED IN 10-15 BUSINESS DAYS. EXPRESS SHIPPING AVAILABLE. To order your pillow click here.

I have done MANY product reviews on this blog and this is one of my FAVORITES BY FAR.  My pillow surpassed ALL of my expectations, the quality is superior, and the "magic" that was worked with the cell phone photo that I used, (remember, that is NOT recommended!)  was a miracle!

NOW WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!!
Our kind friend at Custom Body Pillows is offering a WORLD-WIDE GIVE-AWAY! ONE LUCKY READER LOCATED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD will win a Half-size pillow (valued at $69), with the photo of their choice displayed on it!

Meet Burger and Friends!

from www.burgerandfriends.com

A number of weeks ago while blog-surfing I stumbled upon Burger and Friends Etsy Shop that was featured on a blog (I wish I could remember what blog I was reading when I found them, but for the life of me I can't!)

Anyway, this is what I found and what I purchased, it sums up my persona purrfectly and I just had to share it with you because I thought that you would enjoy it as much as I do!

From www.burgerandfriends.com

For some seriously succulent style, look no further than Burger and Friends, the Denton, Texas-based t-shirt and accessories line smothered in mouth-watering colors and neo pop-inspired illustrations - the eye candy to please any palette. Sci-fi meets 80s fab meets fast food? It works. The common theme running through sexy space-themed wallets, fry-shaped cardholders, and glam-geek wristbands with zipper pouches for loose change is refreshingly simple: fun. Founded in 2006 by designer Austin Tinius, the kooky collection continues to satiate every fashionista's childhood craving for a carb-loaded couture confections.

Words by Jeremy Allen

Another creation!

If you would like to check out more of their items, you can visit www.burgerandfriends.com or their Etsy Shop

and you may find them on Facebook!

I was not compensated for this post. I bought my T-shirt!
