NEW! Kibbles ‘N Bits Bistro #ILoveMyDog

I was asked to do a shop and review of Kibbles ‘N Bits Bistro dog food. Well my dog is actually doing the taste part of the review. My dogs name is Bella, and she is just like a kid when it comes to food, she is very picky. So, this is actually an experiment as well, to see if she will eat it. She never eats dog treats or any other food than the 1 she always has eaten. The ONLY kind of snack she will eat is cheese! Needless to say, she doesn’t get a treat (of cheese) very...

Here is a Whrrl story of the Fuzzoodle Party we had. It was a lot of fun, not a...

Ethnic Hair Products From Dr. Miracle’s

I was recently asked to do a shop for Collective Bias for Ethnic Hair Products from Dr. Miracle’s. This opportunity couldn’t have come at a better time because my son turned 14 today and he has been wanting his hair relaxed/straightened for about 2 years now. I never knew what to use, and we went to a couple salons but no one knew how to go about doing it (or they were afraid to) because my son is biracial. His hair is very tight curls and rough textured but soft as well. So,...

Also, I loved the layout. Everything was perfectly planned and adjusted to entice and be a pleasant experience for children (of all...
