My 3 year old (super energetic) Boxer puppy LOVES this ball. The Boomer ball's smooth and hard plastic makes it very DURABLE, even against my dog's teeth which seem to so easily shred every other toy he has. It's about the size of a bowling ball, so my DOG CANNOT PICK IT UP... THIS IS A GOOD THING!! It means he cannot 1. get it stuck in his mouth, or 2. chew it up or make those awful grooves in it with his teeth which would make the ball sharp as happens with many other hard plastic dog toys . Plus, the fact that he cannot pick it up with his mouth makes it all the more addictive and challenging for him. He bats it with his paws and pushes it around with his nose, or tries (with fail) to grab it with his mouth. However, because it is so LIGHT WEIGHT, the boomer ball doesn't leave him with swollen or bloodied paws or nose as many have said happens with the jolly ball Jolly Pet 14-Inch Push-n-Play, Purple. It's pretty noisy inside when it's being roll...

Kong Wobbler Interactive Dog Toy Review There aren’t many toys that last a long time in this household but the Kong Wobbler has been around for a long, long time. I was hesitant at first because I’m cheap and they make me skeptical given my fur babies track record for destruction. I will say it’s not completely indestructible though; when I first got Harvey the Wobbler,  I accidentally left him with it for a few hours and after that it wouldn’t close anymore, he managed to break a few pieces off. I replaced it because it is such an easy way to keep my dog occupied.  Our new Wobbler wont have a scratch on it; it’s pretty durable and tough.   Harvey Loves His Kong Wobbler Even with repeated uses Harvey still gets excited to play with it. It’s fun watching him push it around with his nose and paws. Jumping around and growling at it. I don’t have to worry about him eating too fast. Large deep chested breeds are predisposed to bloat...

Long-Wearing Cream Flatters and Wears Well     I love "swipe-and-go" products which flatter me and last for hours. Benefit's "Creaseless Cream Eye Shadow/Liner"  is one such product. When I don't want to fuss with shadow but know that I cannot leave the house without it, I use "R.S.V.P.," a sparkling champagne which gives me a wide-awake look. "Skinny Jeans" is a sultry hue I use for lining and on my lid. I t is truly a gorgeous shade, a blend of pewter and taupe. These shadows have a lot of pigmentation and do wear for long hours sans creasing or fading, especially over a great primer. The best part is that you can use them by themselves or as a base for other colours to create unique tones.                All in all, I absolutely love these shadows. You can create so many different looks for different occasions. Highly recommended!!     Disclaimer - These products were...

Hi Everyone. Im sorry I have been away for such a long time. I have been crazy busy with work and the cake business I haven't had time to update you all. However, I have received some awesome items in the post for myself to review so I will be doing a few posts in the coming weeks. Love you all Hixxie Pixie xoxox

Hey Jelly Beans. So yesterday I had a very rare day off from baking which was pleasant. Anyway a gorgeous day, to do what I like, where shall I go? So I jump in my car and head down to Cornwall to a lovely small town St Ives. I haven't been here since I was a small child, as this was destination for many a summer family holiday, and I though it would be nice to go back and see if anything has changed. The image below for those of you who have never been, is the beautiful town of St Ives. It is a small fishing town whom harbour is dot with hundreds of tiny little boat. The sandy beach you can see in this image brings back memories of my grandparents sitting here waiting for my parents to return from parking the car miles away, while my sister and I always had to buy a bucket and spade to build sand forts then watch it get washed away as the tide came flooding in. (Image Not My Own)   After parking the car and wondering through the narrow streets, I headed to the plac...

Hey Jelly Beans, I can not apologize enough for the lack of blogging lately, but I have been so busy I haven't had time. Let me fill you in on what's been happened. Firstly my, last day in Berlin took a turn for the worst as I had to leave in the morning due to the illness I posted about the night before. This really upset me, as I had planned a trip to a Christmas market there to get a few bits for a competition and a few bits ready for Christmas its self. But with that said, I'm hoping to get back there again before November even if for a day trip. So I came home from Berlin with this illness which lasted for nearly 3 weeks. Doctors had told me it was a very, very bad case of a flu like bug and it would just leave my system when it was ready. This sadly ment I lost out on 3 small trips away so couldn't blog for you. But now I'm fighting fit and carrying on with life. So as many of you may know, I own my own cake business which from the middle of June, went...

Hello Jelly Beans, So todays post is going to be short and sweet, simply because I visited one place and then had to come home due to feeling a little poorly. So first thing was breakfast. Being summoned to the breakfast room this sight greeted me. Freshly squeezed juices, different teas and coffee. Doughnuts, croissants, toast, muffins both sweet and savoury, a huge selection of cereal and of course a fried breakfast. I went for some simple toast and a cuppa tea. Before heading out in the taxi to my next location to explore.   So I hear you all shout "where did you go today"? Well my dear friends, I shall tell you. Today I took a trip to the iconic landmark that is. The Berlin Wall. Well what can I tell you about this wall. The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. The barrier included guard towers placed along large ...
