Where To Find 13 Cat Gifts - Cat Lover Gift Guide 08/2022

Hi There..... Did you know today there is a cause for celebration? Are you a cat lover, and would you like some help to find great cat gifts?



If you are a cat lover, you may already know that every year on August 8 it's International Cat Day, and what better way to celebrate than to share some cat gifts with you? 😍

I have been a cat lover for as long as I can remember. There have almost always been cats in my life except for the 5 years prior to March this year. We rented an apartment where there was a restriction against pets. Oh my, those were hard times. 😢

After January, when we moved, it didn't take long before I browsed the internet to find a new kitten. I know my 6-year-old granddaughter would be stoked because she is also a huge cat lover. 😊

It was a bumpy road that led to a kitten named Ninoe. If you are interested in knowing more about this story, you can read all about it in this blog post. 😃

Ok, I bet you are curious to find out more about those cat gifts I put in this truly special gift guide. 😍

A resealable bag with 7-9 Matatabi Sticks (depending on vine thickness)
1 fl oz tin of Silvervine Powder
3.5 fl oz pop top bottle of Valerian Root
7.5 fl oz pop top bottle of Catnip
Handmade refillable fabric mouse toy (in a randomly selected fabric pattern) to make playtime fun and easy.
Typical behaviors of cats on catnip, valerian root, or silvervine include rolling, chin rubbing, meowing, chewing, drooling, and licking. Some cats will become kitten-like… with tons of happy energy! Others become more relaxed and like to chill out in a dreamlike state. However your cat reacts, they will have a wonderful time! It’s the perfect way to encourage play to relieve anxiety and boredom in house cats.

Simply add some of the catnip, valerian, or a blend to the refillable toy, then watch your cat enjoy! You can also sprinkle a pinch or two on a scratching post, blanket, or wherever you want to encourage your cat to play. To try a Matatabi Stick, gently rub off some bark of the stick to release the scents from the natural oils, or leave it as is – then give it to your cat to enjoy.

How To Revive Dull Skin - Morganna’s Alchemy 24 Carrot Glow Skin Moisturizer

Hi There..... Do you suffer from dull skin? Have you been looking for a good skin moisturizer to make it glow again?


Picture by Seadbeady

Ever since my Gastric Bypass surgery, I have had problems with dull skin. Ok, it could be because I'm aging too, but I refuse to accept that. 😁

It's a good thing there are so many products on the market already, like skin moisturizers or anti-wrinkle products, and if they don't work, you can always put on a few layers of make-up. 😎

That reminds me of the TV quizzes I was on in the past. They would always put on a thick layer of make-up on your face to make sure you would look your best. My face felt like cardboard afterward. 😬

One time, the make-up lady asked me if she could put on some red lipstick too. She said it would look great on me. I was hesitant, but she persuaded me to do it, anyway. I looked amazing she said. 😏

True or not, it was not me, so before I walked out the door, I took out my handkerchief and wiped it off as fast as I could. 😜

Enough about me, let me tell you about this 24 Carrot Glow Skin Moisturizer Morganna’s Alchemy sent me in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍

Picture by Seadbeady

About Morganna’s Alchemy

I started Morganna’s on a kitchen table in Belgium, with an anti-aging cream I created, called Break the Hourglass.

I made a lot of skincare products that I would send to my neighbors via my son and his bicycle. One day, my aunt asked me to develop a product that would allow her to go through long periods of time in between her Botox™ treatments. 

She did not want to stop the treatments, but she sometimes would get flu-like symptoms for two weeks after each session., She needed a product that would help her go through long periods of time in between treatments. That is how the Elixir came to be.

I noticed that with no marketing and only word-of-mouth to reach potential customers, the requests for bigger amounts of the Elixir were coming. No one had told me they were giving them to their friends … 

A year after the invention, I tried the Elixir myself, and the effects were astounding. I even stopped the car while driving to call my best friend and say, “This stuff works!” She answered, “I told you so.” 

That’s when I realized Morganna’s Alchemy could become a business. The whole thing quickly became a family affair, with my children always helping to make small samples and products.

Today Morganna’s Alchemy is being distributed in many countries such as France (where Morganna’s Alchemy products were the top-selling skin care products on the French shopping channel ‘M6 Boutique’), Estonia, Poland, Romania, Haiti, Canada, Martinique, and Guadeloupe, all while being developed and manufactured in beautiful sunny Florida USA.

24 Carrot Glow Encapsulated Astaxanthin + Bakuchiol Skin Moisturizer

Our 24 Carrot Glow Super Cream is great for even the most sensitive skin types. It will help with dullness, its orange color will make the skin glow. 

The red-orange color is because of a powerful active ingredient: Astaxanthin, which is a powerful antioxidant, more potent and stable than Vitamin C or E obtained from Red algae. This active ingredient is the most effective free radical scavenger.

Astaxanthin helps our skin with premature aging and the formation of wrinkles. It reduces UV-induced damage and improves the regenerative capacity of the skin.
This natural complex (astaxanthin with ß-carotene, lutein, canthaxanthin, …) of components contained in algal biomass creates a synergistic effect that involves high bioavailability

Astaxanthin aids skin from the free radical damage that speeds up skin aging. It counteracts UV damage and improves elasticity via improved skin function. It promotes collagen production.

Sustainably sourced Super antioxidant Bakuchiol is a safe alternative to retinol that helps smooth fine lines and reduces dark spots and signs of sun damage. Bakuchiol improves the firmness and elasticity of the skin, giving you a more youthful appearance. It significantly reduced blemishes and other bacterial breakouts when using it. And if you are allergic to retinol, this is the best natural alternative. It doesn’t have all the downsides that retinol brings, such as flaking, itching, redness, or rashes.

Picture by Seadbeady
    

My opinion on the 24 Carrot Glow Skin Moisturizer

I love the handy pump on top. It's an orange cream that quickly absorbs into the skin and spreads out easily. 

You immediately notice the glow on your skin that's still noticeable after putting on your make-up. It makes my fine lines appear smaller, so you won't hear me complaining.

Picture by Seadbeady

The product doesn't feel greasy at all. I didn't get any rash or red spots from this product, even though I have rosacea. 

Perhaps one slight negative could be the weird scent. Not that it's that disturbing, and it fades away after a minute or two.

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Where To Find a White Polo Shirt in The Netherlands - HemdVoorHem Men's Fashion

Hi There..... Have you been looking for quality men's fashion in The Netherlands? 


Picture by Seadbeady 

Perhaps you still want a few polo shirts for men to pack for your next holiday. Did you know white is a splendid choice? It's easy to combine with any other spring or summer color. 😊

Another reason is that it highlights your nicely tanned skin. Also, white polo shirts for men are always a good option if you are going to an event because it looks just a little more formal. 😎

Something else most people don't think of is that you are more visible when taking a stroll out at night. Ok, for some with cheeky thoughts that could also be a disadvantage, I admit. 😄

Oh wow, now that I come to think of it, I don't have enough whites in my closet myself. Maybe I should trick my husband by saying he needs something and get some pieces for myself then. What a brilliant plan, if I say so myself. 😏
 
Ok, high time to tell you what today is all about. HemdVoorHem sent me this lovely white polo shirt in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍

Picture by Seadbeady

About Polo Shirts

Polo shirts are an obvious part of fashion all year round. The polo for men is nice, sporty, and comfortable, but still neat! Most polo shirts for men have short sleeves, but long-sleeved men's polo shirts are also appearing in more and more collections. 

The polo shirt brands of HemdVoorHem.nl are Lacoste, Olymp, Fred Perry, Marvelis, Eterna, Profuomo, Redmond, Casa Moda, and Calvin Klein

Redmond regular fit white polo shirts for men

Classic white polo shirt with a slightly scooped waist without sacrificing freedom of movement. This color is always easy to combine and can be combined with a cardigan or men's sweater on colder days. The white polo shirt from Redmond is made of 100% cotton in a pique weave that is so characteristic of the polo. 

It is soft to the skin, wonderfully airy, and has maximum moisture absorption. Finely finished with a handy chest pocket with logo application, reinforced elastic cuffs at the sleeves, and three buttons at the top. Easy to maintain (easy-care).

Picture by Seadbeady 

Fit: Roomy (not fitted)

Suitable for the man with a curvier and/or who likes nice loose clothing.
Straight cut for maximum freedom of movement.

How do I know what the right size shirt, polo, or other items of clothing are for me?

At HemdVoorHem.nl you can choose from different fits within the categories of shirts, polo shirts, sweaters, and T-shirts. You can use the filter on the left to choose which fit you want to be shown. With every shirt, you will find a size chart, which will help you choose your size. 

If you would like advice or more information, please contact our customer service. You can contact our customer service 7 days a week for all your questions by e-mail. We can also be reached by phone on working days between 9.30 am and 5 pm.

My opinion on the Redmond Polo Shirts for Men

As usual at HemdVoorHem, they delivered the package in no time. They are quick to ship your order, and their packing is impeccable. Their website is clear and easy to use, and they have an extensive choice. 

Since my hubby tans easily, he usually looks great in white. He loves the fresh white of his beautiful new polo shirt. We are celebrating my birthday in a few days and I have already booked the restaurant. I know what he's going to wear. 😍

By the way, they are having sales at the moment with discounts of up to 50%, so you'd better hurry if you need some men's fashion. 😊

Get Rid Of Dry Scaly Skin With Kneipp Goodbye Stress Body Cream For Soft Skin

Hi There..... Do you suffer from dry scaly skin? Would you like to learn more about the new Kneipp Goodbye Stress Hydrating body cream to nourish and give you that soft skin again?


Picture by Seadbeady

Oh no, don't take that literally. Nourish doesn't mean you have to eat it. 😲

Ah, talking about food made me hungry, so let's both take a quick break and we'll come back after our meal. 😋

So I had a sandwich with turkey salami. How about you? Ever since my Gastric Bypass, I learned to make better choices in food. 😃

I am trying to reduce my intake of fats, and I hardly eat anything sweet anymore. I no longer have a sweet tooth, either. Hmm, or perhaps it's the one that was pulled a while ago. 😁

Some people think it's the easy way, but there are a lot of sacrifices when you want to maintain a good weight after the surgery. It feels as if I have gotten a fresh start now. Wish the wrinkles on my skin would have gone back to when I was 20 too. 😜

My only regret is not having done this much sooner. Since my joint problems got worse, I felt as if I was gradually losing grip on my weight, and the numbers on my scale only went up. 😵

Enough about me. Let's get back to that body cream Kneipp sent me in exchange for my honest opinion, to give you the nourished, soft skin you deserve. 😍

Picture by Seadbeady

Supports and stimulates the natural regenerative capacity of the skin and offers extra protection.
Vegan and, of course not tested on animals.

Picture by Seadbeady

My opinion on the Body Cream

I love that this is vegan. It's a rich cream that doesn't get absorbed into your skin immediately. You really have to rub it in, but I suppose that's just the point to have your partner, mom or friend give you that wonderful moment of relaxation while rubbing in that body cream. 😋

At first, my skin felt a little greasy, but that feeling didn't last long and made way for soft skin. I also love the scent, which is definitely present but not too strong. 😍

I applied the body cream immediately after I took a shower. You are probably thinking, why? I found on the internet that your skin has the maximum moisture after a shower and dermatologists recommend using your moisturizer right after the shower. 😊

They have a complete line of Goodbye Stress products for your special moment ranging from candles to bathing products, so don't hesitate to browse their website.

If you are having a lazy moment already, this could be the perfect moment to check out some of my previous blog posts about Kneipp. 😍

How To Look Good With Professional Quality Make-up - Pink Avenue

Hi There..... Do you like to look good? Have you been searching for professional quality make-up?


Picture by Seadbeady

It doesn't matter what your answer might be, because I can't wait any longer to publish this blog post. Can you imagine writing a blog post with just one or two questions and nothing further? 😁

Then, a few days later, after you tell me you like to look good with make-up or not, I would tell you more about the subject or otherwise about who knows what. Sounds exciting, right? 😉

Nah, a tad too exciting if you ask me. Anyway, I don't think brands would let me keep on doing reviews for them. 😜

It doesn't work like that, so that will not happen. Sorry to those who liked the idea, but it's my blog, so I get to call the shots. Ooh, I just love to be in charge. 😎

Ok, it's time to tell you about the make-up products they sent me from Pink Avenue in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍

Picture by Seadbeady

About Pink Avenue

They are a cosmetics wholesaler with several professional products of high quality. There's a wide range of the brand Affect on their webshop. You will find make-up for the face, eyes, lips, and eyebrows. In addition, you will also find various palettes and make-up accessories.

About the intense color eye pencil

The formula of the eye pencil ensures a soft and comfortable application. Thanks to the high pigmentation of the pencil, the color comes out beautifully and you can enjoy your eye makeup for hours without having to make any corrections. The eye pencil is available in eleven different colors.

My opinion on the intense color eye pencil

I chose the color marine blue because I thought it would bring out the blue in my eyes, and so it did. 😃

Well, that's just my opinion, of course, but I love this dark blue color, and I could easily draw my line and fade it out to the middle of my eyes. 😊

The moisturizing make-up primer

This primer is made in collaboration with the PRO MAKE UP Academy school. This foundation is suitable for all skin types, especially dry and dehydrated skin types. The primer is the perfect base for applying other make-up products and ensures that you can enjoy your make-up for a long time.

The light water-based formula enriched with moisturizing ingredients improves the condition of the skin and ensures a rested and healthy complexion. Your wrinkles are optically reduced by using the base. The aloe vera extract in the primer soothes irritations. The base also prevents moisture loss and strengthens the protective barriers of the epidermis, leaving the skin nourished and soft.

My opinion on the moisturizing make-up primer

I was drawn to this primer because of its characteristic to enjoy your make-up for a longer time, and because this product promises to optically reduce your wrinkles. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want that. As I applied the product, it felt silky soft on my skin. 😊

I can't compare it to other primers, since this is the first one I tried. I have only one regret, and that is not discovering this earlier. My make-up looks much smoother and therefore more natural. 😍

The matte foundation cover touch HD

It was made in collaboration with the PRO MAKE UP Academy school. It is perfect for oily, combination, and sensitive skin types. The cover touch foundation is available in 4 shades. The formula of the foundation has been specially developed to provide strong coverage with a light and delicate texture that does not aggravate the skin. This allows you to enjoy your makeup for hours.

The algae extract present protects the skin from harmful external factors and pollution. In addition, the foundation helps to reduce moisture loss from the skin. It gives the effect of a smooth and delicate satin-mat complexion. The foundation comes in a bottle with a hygienic pump that ensures accurate dosing.

My opinion on the matte foundation cover touch HD

I probably told you once or twice that I have Rosacea, so I chose this product for sensitive skin. The foundation seamlessly blended into my skin color, and it didn't make my make-up look cakey, which is super important. 😎

This feels so close to my natural skin tone. I love the consistency. It's not too thick and seemed to melt right into my skin. No redness on my face afterward either, so I'm absolutely satisfied with this product. 😍

Volume mascara exciting lashes

The renewed formula of the mascara provides thicker, longer, and silky soft lashes. Thanks to the silicone brush, the lashes are separated perfectly and thanks to the shape of the brush, you can easily apply mascara to the corners of the eyes. The intensive black color ensures that the lashes are already clearly visible after the first layer so that you do not have to constantly rub the brush over your lashes.

Create the perfect smoky eye look with our Volume mascara – exciting lashes and the Smoky and shiny eyeshadow palette.

My opinion on the Volume mascara exciting lashes

Who doesn't want thicker, longer, and silky soft lashes? I was really curious how this would look on my eyes. It really lifts your lashes, neatly separates them, and makes them curl beautifully. 😊

There are no nasty black spots underneath your eyes from applying the mascara, either. I only needed one layer to make my lashes, as shown in the picture above. 😃

I don't know if you ever tried the products from Pink Avenue, but they won me over, and I know where to go next time for make-up if I want to look good. 😍

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Interview With Fashion Stylist Jennifer Koch

Hi There..... Have you ever met a Fashion Stylist or Personal stylist in person?

Would you like to learn a little more about their background, and what drove them to become fashion stylists, personal stylists, or both? 😊

Humor me and just say yes, or I will unleash all the humor I got in me to get what I want. I’m not even certain what that would look like, but are you actually willing to take the chance? 😈


Nah, I’m a wimp. Not a total wimp though, because I can kill a fly, although they take revenge, you know. Ah yes, it happened to me yesterday. I was outside knitting when suddenly a fly had the nerve to take a seat on my bottle of water. 😲


No, that’s not all. It sat there and left a dirty black spot of feces on the top. I am telling you the truth, and I was just minding my business. 😝

Better beware next time you see one of those ugly black suckers. They may be out to get you. 😏

Let's fly back to our fashion stylist on the blog today. It's the 36-year-old Jennifer Koch, who is the personal stylist for Stylegasm.

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I am a personal stylist - I work 1-1 with women and men to help them express their true selves through style and image.  That includes Feng Shui wardrobe sessions, personal shopping, styling, style oracle readings, travel packing, and so much more. 

What made you decide to become a Fashion Stylist?

Actually, I never sought to become a fashion stylist, it just naturally developed that way.
I always knew my calling was fashion. I worked in retail sales at Saks Fifth Avenue and Kate Spade and also fashion PR in Paris. 

Then, I moved to Bali, Indonesia, and started a bespoke fashion brand. I got to know my clients deeply.  Naturally, they started asking for my help with services, like shopping trips, wardrobe clean-outs, etc.  

Over time, I realized my genius was actually in the services part of the business, so I ended up pivoting there. 

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Style expresses who you are! It really lifts your mood and helps you show up as your best self in the world. Me, I have always loved clothes. It’s my creative playground. 

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

My greatest success is being true to myself.  I’ve lived a very unconventional adult life, rich with many experiences like traveling the world, being an expat multiple times, and starting many businesses. 

I am grateful I got to really know myself and also have done a lot of healing along the way.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

I am not one of those label whores that buys something to show off some status, nor do I recommend this to clients. But sure, there is a meaning behind brands - I love to learn about a brand’s story, their craftsmanship, etc. 

Describe your personal style of clothing?

My personal style is bright, expressive, creative, fun, and polished. 
But this also depends on my mood. I can also be chic, edgy, quirky, etc.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

I don’t really believe in a “signature look.” For me, as a creative, that is so boring.  I love to mix it up! I somehow end up defaulting to pink, often, though. 

In what way do you influence other people’s clothing style?

With my clients, we start with a Style Oracle Reading (I created my personal oracle deck!). This is really fun because it taps into the person’s subconscious and brings out their deeper style desires. 

Then we move into creating mood boards, clearing out their current wardrobe, and then, of course, shopping and styling! My clients don’t dress like me - I help them dress in their own authentic way!

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

Well, I love all these feathers at the moment!  I am also excited that people are shifting away from the lazy pandemic dressing.  The shift towards more sustainability is great too!

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

The worst trend is conforming to trends that don’t align with who you are. Personally, I think some of these designer tennis shoes look a quack-a-ma-doodles, a term coined lol… meaning, a bit too quacky!?
 

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Be true to yourself - don’t worry about what others are wearing or tell you to wear. Many women get fashion advice that doesn’t actually serve them - like store associates or subscription box companies with their own agenda, or family and friends who give well-meaning but irrelevant advice.  

If styling is not naturally your strength, no shame in getting professional help with it!

Who is your style icon and why?

Queen Rania of Jordan - she is so poised and always a style icon.
Also, love Heart Evangelista, she has really great creativity mixed with luxury.  
 

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Your closet reflects your psyche - so if it’s cramped, filled with stuff you no longer love - know that you can make a change and it’ll ripple throughout other areas of your life too!  

Thank you so much, Jennifer, for answering my questions. I love you sent me those before-after pictures of your clients. This way we can see how much they changed. 😍

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day
