Recent Obsessions...

In the middle of taking new dog to rally obedience training classes, working tons, and taking occasional day trips here & there, I have come up with a few personal obsessions of my own:

Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleanser. Smells divine. Makes my skin feel great. Love it.

Algenist Multi-Perfecting Pore Corrector Concentrate. Not sure why everything I've been loving has been "anti-aging" lately. Whatever. LOVE THIS. Got it initially as a sample. Need full size ASAP! Unscented. Put it on before bed one night and the next morning, I swear, my pores disappeared. I've had samples of Algenist before and have always loved them - one of these days I'll just punt and get full sizes :)

And finally, two items I'm still trying to see whether or not I love them: (1) Peter Thomas Roth CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 - much heavier than my NARS tinted moisturizer, which is also heavier than my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. But it's virtually unscented which I like better than the NARS; and (2) Peter Thomas Roth Camu Camu Vitamin C Brightening Serum. This serum smells like hundreds of fresh squeezed oranges. Not really sure yet what it's doing, but I like the way it feels on my skin.

Run to Sephora or whatever place you get your makeup and at a minimum, get some sample of these products! Pretty sure you'll love them.

Thoughts on Honey

What type of honey do you feed your dogs? Or do you feed your dogs honey at all? Much has been reported about the healing properties of Manuka honey from New Zealand. I had a tiny jar of Manuka I purchased from Whole Foods (cost a small fortune, but again, it was Whole Foods) and I think it was only a 10+. Just received a new jar today from Amazon - Watson & Son brand rated 20+ - which is supposed to be excellent for wounds and infections. I chose the 20+ due to Flash licking a wound open near his tail, and Evie, after having her foot in a cast developed a pressure sore that seems to have left a lingering infection. Even the FDA has come out and said Manuka honey is effective in treating infections such as MRSA. 

I also have a jar of raw organic local honey that doesn't seem to have helped at all with Flash's wound. Yes, organic honey is somewhat of a misnomer (in the sense that you can't control where bees go to gather pollen - so paying for "organic" is silly)... but it's what was for sale and was raw, so I purchased it. Or is it possible the little jar of honey in the squeezy bear container any better or worse than the honey from New Zealand? Thoughts?

Packing Up!

Headed here tomorrow to visit a friend & her lovely greyhounds... so excited!

Then going here on Friday!

This should be super fun!

Lax due to change

I can't believe it's been more than a year since I've posted here. First and foremost, new name!
With all the changes since last year, it is seriously time for an updated name and URL! As many may know, we have moved across the country and are no longer in Seattle. Greyhounds in Seattle just doesn't fit. As such, travels have been part of our life fairly regularly now since we relocated - so the new name for our little site is Traveling Greyhounds and a new URL to match - http://travelinggreyhounds.blogspot.com!!! Come join our new adventure!
What has been new? A change was needed on so many levels, so we packed house and settled in the southeast! New friends, new opportunities for Evie & Flash, and all sorts of excitement! We've been to Texas among other places, and a big adventure awaits next week!
On a slow side, Evie broke her toe two weeks ago and she's been sporting a lovely little cast. She is also incredibly fast in that cast and it hasn't slowed her down a bit! That being said, we plan to be back and YES, post more often! I really don't want to be one of those people who gives up on a blog - so many friends have been so successful at it...
