Making the Holidays Relaxing for our Kitties

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Comfort Zone® products for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ok  – so you might know I’m a bit of a cat person. And I have two little babies that I love dearly.

This is Xray -

Who apparently feels that the camera will steal his soul and under no condition whatsoever should he look directly at it.

And this is our baby, Kato.

Who isn’t really a baby anymore (except to me) and isn’t afraid of anything or anybody.

Christmas time is an adventure with these two. We put up the tree and it’s all – “woohooo – Christmas is here for us all”. The tree is the place to hang out and nosh on. And have epic play battles under and nap near. It’s the bessssst.

But with Christmas also comes some decor changes  – and if you have cats you know that anything different is something not be trusted for many weeks. And by that time all the decorations go away again.

It also means lots of family, and other family pets, that come to visit. Which makes Xray hide under the bed. :)

So I’m trying something new this year to help them to relax. Have you heard of Comfort Zone® with Feliway®?

Comfort Zone® products help to reduce stress in pets, and stress usually results in behaviours like scratching and marking. They release natural pheromones that help them to calm down and relax! How cool is that?!

Now our guys have never done the marking thing. (thank goodness). But there is some scratching naughtiness that will get them coal in their stockings occasionally. ;)

And since new sofas are on my wish list for next year – I would reallllly love this to stop.

Since this is in one of the two rooms we are in the most, I’ve added the Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Diffuser to the nearest outlet, and I’ve used the Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray to this part of the sofa. Which is the only part they ever mess with, silly things.

I am hoping it helps them to relax and cut down on the scratching and to not be stressed out with all the decor changes – and all the family coming!

Awww look.

I just love finding the nearest iron object and snuggling up to it all cozy, don’t you?

If you’re intersted in finding out more about Comfort Zone® with Feliway® products, you can check out their Facebook page.

How do your pets do during the holidays? Do they love it? Stress out? Climb the tree? :)

Sporting Some New Specs!

So a couple of weeks ago I told you I was heading out to do some glasses shopping! I am so excited to show you what I picked out!

I think they’re such a fun style – a little retro and fun. And they’re Tiffany! Hello.
(Not that I’m all about the brand you know, but seriously, these are so cute!

My old glasses felt a little outdated – I think these are a more current style – but also a style that will last me quite a while!

I went in to LensCrafters to get my eyes checked and pick out some cute frames. They were super helpful. Especially since I took forever – why is picking out glasses so hard?

They had a great selection which made it a lot easier though!

I was especially drawn to the Tiffany, Coach and Burberry lines – though they had lots of brands and styles to choose from.

So once I picked out my new babies, I was able to try out the LensCrafters AccuFit system. After wearing glasses for years – this is really much better than the old way of fitting glasses – just a little ruler and a sharpie or something.

The sales associate takes photos of you facing forward, and to the side, so you can see how the glasses fit. (No laughing at these – it’s better than the DMV photos but a bit obvious that I missed out on some photogenic genes)

Next they fit your glasses into the AccuFit measurement frame and take a closeup of you then plot out several measurements to make sure the glasses are focused and fitted correctly!

I picked out some new sunnies while I was there that I love too!

My new glasses even have a cute little case – and a little “sleeping bag” for my glasses like you get with cute shoes or purses! (Yes. I’m easily amused.)

So stinkin’ cute!

I’d love to know what you think of them!

Time For New Glasses!

I love being able to see. Finding glasses that I love? That’s a little tougher. But it’s time to go shopping – and I’m pretty excited for this time around!
I found a new place to try – LensCrafters!

I started wearing glasses when I was in Elementary School – and when I found out I needed them I was thrilled. I thought glasses were coooooool.
(of course back then, glasses were the size of dinner plates. And no. I won’t post a photo.)

Glasses are so much cuter now – you can really make a fashion statement with them!

Shopping for them is so much easier too – let me show you what I found at the LensCrafters site!

LensCrafters has a new technology called AccuFit. It’s a Digital Measurement System that helps you with your frame and lens choices, and helps them fit better based on your eyes and the shape of your face!
I’m all about glasses that will fit better.

The fit is 5 times more accurate – which is great since those of us in glasses know how uncomfortable it is at the end of the day when you’re in glasses that don’t fit. Ugh. No more sore ears and pinched noses please. The AccuFit Technology is complimentary too – so you don’t have to pay extra to get a great fit!

I spent some time looking around the website – they have a great Lens simulator tool that I thought was super helpful.

You answer a few questions based on how often you wear glasses and what for, and then it shows you what they recommend. I loved the question in the photo – How often do you perform work on a computer or a hobby that requires intermediate vision? Um. All. Day. :)

I also loved that you could do a little Frame Shopping online – and yeah. I’m sort of lusting after these Tiffany frames.
I can’t wait to go down and try them on.

I love frames that have a bit of a retro feel to them – but still look current and cute. They have several on the site that I can’t wait to try out!

I also was able to make my eye appt. right from the website! So super easy. I love companies that are current with technology and make things so easy.

You can also check out their Facebook page for info on how the AccuFit Technology works – they have a great little video there to watch.

So I can’t wait to show you what I get – I will keep you posted!
