Blogging Cats Calendar 2018- Hurry! 25% off expires November 16!

Cover Art by Ann Adamus of Zoolatry

Looking for the PURRFECT gift for a cat lover in 2018?

Are you a blogger who has a New Years "intention" (I HATE the word "resolution" , it is too definitive and confining, but I digress....) of being better organized?

I don't know about you, but if  I didn't maintain an editorial calendar for each of my blogs I would be even more disorganized than I am now!

That being said, you do NOT have to be a blogger to enjoy seeing some of your favorite kitties from the blogs you love, (and some you have yet to meet!),  beautifully showcased in the

One of MANY things that I love about this calendar is that the area where you  write  is large enough to include quite a bit of information. I use my calendar EVERY SINGLE DAY WITHOUT FAIL. I literally would not be able to function without it.  Have writer's block? I can't begin to tell you the number of times this calendar has been the impetus for a post on my blog(s).

I have seen comments on blogs when people blog about a certain event and someone will say they "didn't know about it." Well, there is a good chance if they have this calendar that will NOT happen again!

Kitties from all over the world submitted photos to Mom Paula from the adorable blog, Sweet Purrfections (starring Truffles and Brulee)who had the painstaking and rather daunting task of adding all of the kitties to this incredible "week-at-a-glance" planner! Once again, Mom Paula outdid herself. The calendar is exquisite!  And...this year there are special contributions to the calendar (keep reading this post to learn more!)

Cat Ladies! Release your inner Feline with Honeycat Cosmetics! "Get Your PURR On!" (Give-Away and Discount Code!)

Hello my fellow cat loving friends!! As you and I know, there are a number of things that cats take quite seriously. Two of those are their grooming habits and making time to relax. There is something about watching a cat meticulously groom every part of their body in a loving way, and then, moving on to a yoga-sized stretch afterward, followed by a loooong nap, that just watching them, makes us want to forget the cares of the world and  relax with them.

Forgetting all of the tension taking place around us can be hard, but it is imperative that we learn from our feline friends, that  for our physical and mental-well-being, it is a must that we learn to relax. We need to learn to relax AND pamper ourselves, just as cats inherently know how to do for themselves.

My pawtastic items that I received
from Honeycat Cosmetics,
the packaging itself is exquisite!
Honeycat Cosmetics, with their USA made boutique line of gourmet bath, body, spa products, and more will enable you to do just that! 

" In ancient times it was believed that a parasite living on cats could infect their female owners, rendering them sexy, desirable, fun-loving, and, ahem..., unfaithful. Welcome to the world of Honeycat Cosmetics, we put a fresh, sexy spin on bath and body products which appeal to the sexy, feline/cat woman in all us gals! There is an emphasis on the cat as a symbol of female sexuality, and sensuality. All of our products relate figuratively, colloquially, or literally to the cat."

Now, let me tell you I never have considered myself to be a "girly-girl." Normally anything pink or sweetie-sweetie is NOT for me. But...when I received my Honeycat products to sample , I could not WAIT to get my paws on them. They are EXQUISITELY AND TASTEFULLY PACKAGED, These products not only smell INSANELY INTOXICATING, (they smell good enough to EAT and smell better than catnip!),  they say their scents are "gourmet, NOT ordinary" and it is TRUE!

"Honeycat makes grooming time an event." Their products promise pleasure for your entire body. They are sexy, sensual, safe and chock full of what's-good-for-your-skin-stuff.  Honeycat offers products ranging from emollient rich bath bombs, sassy lip balm, delicious edible body powder, body lotions, creams, bath salts, bubble bath, milk bath,    They offer women of all ages, skin indulging treats!

Remember when I said above that "all of their products relate figuratively, colloquially, or literally to the cat."? I LOVE people who "play"with words and these names, as you will see,  will make you purr as they did for me!

There are many things I love about Honeycat Cosmetics, from their scents that are "gourmet, NOT ordinary", to their branding, to the fact that there is no "junk" in their products. Honeycat products are natural, and never tested on animals, "especially sexy felines."  Their product descriptions are fun, sassy, sexy and tantalizing without being sleazy.  "Sexy, fun, clean and hip...that's Honeycat!"
Honeycat Cosmetics are the creation of Brooklyn native, Terri, a vegetarian and cat lover! (my parents and MUCH of my family is (or was) from Brooklyn, so anyone that comes from there has a special place in MY heart!). The name Honeycat came about by accident when Terri thought her fiance said "Honeycat" but he REALLY said "honey, that...."it was meant to be!!


I have already showed my husband the Honeycat brochure  NUMEROUS times (because I am SUBTLE like that....), and told him "I LOVE THESE PRODUCTS!!"  They would make GREAT birthday (my birthday is in October and I already started my campaigning for him to get me more Honeycat Cosmetics!), Sweetest Day (also in October in certain parts of the country), HOLIDAY (Christmas, Chanukah, Anniversary, Bridal Shower gifts, ANYTIME AT ALL GIFTS!!) Looking through their brochure I think their pricing is EXTREMELY reasonable and affordable for many different budgets. Some items are as low as $10!  TO GET YOU STARTED Terri is offering you a 30% OFF COUPON CODE GOOD TIL SEPTEMBER 18, 2017. JUST ENTER PURR30 AT CHECKOUT. "So go ahead lovelies, get your purr on!!!!!!"

Our Top 12 Small Business Product Picks For 2014 #shopsmall

Hi every one and Happy Day After Thanksgiving!
Guess what?
Saturday, November 29th is
 SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY!

I am not one who loves shopping AT ALL, never have, never will. Back in the days before computers I ALWAYS preferred shopping in "Mom and Pop" stores, or small boutiques that to me were gold mines when it came to finding items that I wouldn't see everyone and their Mama (or Papa) having or wearing. I have always been drawn to things that are unique, and that are often much better crafted than mainstream products found in every large chain store in the land.



Small Business Saturday is one of my favorite days! It was created by American Express back in 2010 for the sole purpose of encouraging people to shop small businesses the day after Black Friday, (a day that I will NEVER in life participate in).

Throughout 2014 Cody and I have done A LOT of product reviews, and today, we would like to feature some of our favorites from 2014 that were created by SMALL BUSINESSES!  (To see products that we loved from larger businesses, visit us the week of December 8th for our Holiday Gift Guide!)

For the purpose of this post, I am  featuring our small business faves, with their name, a photo of the product and a link to our previous reviews, which you can visit to learn about each product by clicking their name! ( Many of these earlier reviews included give-aways which obviously have ended. Also, this is ONLY a list of SOME of our favorites and ONLY feature products that we showcased in 2014. There are many other small business products that we love, but if we didn't feature them in 2014, they did not make the "cut"). Enjoy and if you are looking for gifts this holiday season, give them a holler! Sit back and enjoy!!
