Friday’s Rant from the Soap Box in MY Living Room
Dear parent in the park this week… I’d like to point out three things to you: It’s illegal to smoke in a children’s public play park. It’s illegal for children under 16 to be smoking. Allowing your under age (and I know the children’s ages) children to be smoking in a children’s play park, […]

Fuss free & easy leg waxing with Veet
This is the blog post where I share a confession and talk about waxing my legs… Summer is on it’s way, it’s time to think about summer clothes, and getting my legs in shape for warmer weather. Little Man and I are also starting swimming classes for him, next week, at the local pool, and […]

Dear Human… You shall not brush my teeth!
The vet apparently thinks you need to be brushing my teeth, every day. The vet is clearly deluded and has no idea how strong my will is, how hard I can bite, or how sharp my claws are. Why he thinks that I would let you grab me, wrap me in a towel, then prize […]

Rosalena Facial Oils
I am not a person who tries a lot of new things on my skin, I tend to stick to what I know, and my skin care regime is pretty basic and simple. I don’t like fuss, or things that take huge effort to use or get used to. I recently discovered an amazing product, […]

A moment of parental anxiety
I am having a moment, I will probably have another moment or two, tonight, and tomorrow morning. It’s a parental anxiety moment, mainly a mix of anxiety and emotion. It’s a very silly little wobble, I know, but I can’t help it. My boy, my lovely boy, is going on his first school trip tomorrow, […]
