Bond with Your Cat this Winter with These 3 Easy Tips

March 5, 2015 by Kathryn 2 Comments

Even though the long winter is finally reaching its end, there are still some cold days left before families can run and play outside. Since so many of us are trapped indoors, it’s a great time to cuddle up and spend some extra time with a beloved cat! Sadly, according to the Ontario SPCA, nearly one-fifth of cats were returned to shelters in Ontario in 2013, post-holiday. The top three reasons included cats conflicting with other pets in the home, allergic reactions and behavioural problems, including litter box issues. Spend some quality time with your cat to make them feel at ease and part of the family with these three great tips!

Treat their Tummies

Make sure your cats maintain a healthy and balanced diet. This may require consulting your veterinarian. Just like humans, cats have different nutritional needs depending on their age and health. Otherwise, stick to quality food and fresh, clean water. Despite popular belief, milk shouldn’t be a main source of hydration and may actually cause stomach discomfort. [Read more…]

Nourish Your Hair with New Live Clean Coconut Milk Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner-Giveaway

February 10, 2015 by Kathryn 210 Comments

I’ve loved coconut ever since I was a child. In fact, I used to sprinkle it on top of cereal in place of sugar in the mornings and often have a spoonful straight out of the package for a quick afternoon snack. But it wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned more about how beneficial coconut is for the body. Since I’ve discovered its many nutritional benefits, my house is never without a jar of coconut oil and I couldn’t be happier about that.

Now one of my very favourite personal care brands, Live Clean, has added the benefits of coconut to its newest hair care line too! Live Clean Coconut Milk Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner feature coconut milk, vitamins and milk protein that hydrate and strengthen hair without weighing it down.
