About the Dogs
This week has been quite the adventure for our furry friends. Despite Ike’s continued disdain for his shoulder brace, he hasn't let it slow him down. While up at the cabin, he joined Lincoln in a lively game of chase, showing his playful spirit is still very much intact. The two also braved the freezing lake for a short swim, proving that a little cold water won’t deter them from having fun. It's also turkey season, and Lincoln has been absolutely fascinated by the turkeys in the neighbor’s yard, watching them intently from afar.
However, Lincoln’s curiosity hasn't stopped at bird-watching. He’s been quite naughty recently, indulging in a lot of digging and even creating a bit of chaos in Grandpa’s meticulously manicured lawn. Despite his mischievous behavior, his antics always bring a smile to our faces, even if it means a bit more cleanup afterward.
Meanwhile, Gabby stayed home while the big dogs got to enjoy the cabin. She didn't seem to mind too much, as she loved getting one-on-one attention from Cameraman’s brother. The extra pampering and undivided attention made her feel extra special, ensuring she had her own enjoyable week despite missing out on the cabin adventures.
Winner of the Week - Indie Skincare Brands!
When given the choice I love smaller brands that were started out of a passion! So many brands get gobbled up by the “Big Five'' such as Estee Lauder, Shiseido, Unilever, Loreal, Johnson & Johnson, Proctor & Gamble, and Avon.
Some of my favorite Indie Brands include:
Loser of the Week - Bad Habits!
So many of us are prone to bad habits that can negatively affect our skin. One of the worst habits to get into is not washing your face at the end of EVERY day. I will say, last week I was pretty tired and lazy- I decided to just quickly use a micellar cleanser. This was a big mistake! I should have at least tried to rinse off stubborn waterproof sunscreen. What bad habits do you have that prevent you from getting the skin of your dreams?
