Agave Aloe Polisher (4oz)
Beija Flor Naturals is a line of vegan & vegetarian body treatments made in California from inspired minds who seek to create primo products. It’s a company that could easily make the list of “Secret Favorite Beauty Lines” for top celebrity’s known for being beauty savvy and nurturing their skin (see: Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rachel Bilson) . Beija Flor Naturals sent us some of their products to review. I was beyond pleased with the results of everything, so let me share with you guys what I tried. And we also have a giveaway of one of the Beija Flor Naturals products for you! Time for organic beauty product reviews!

Nature’s Notebook Review & Giveaway
Friday, December 25th, 2009
Unmistakably, Courtney Noelle really cares about seizing a moment of rich beauty expressly for you.
Courtney Noelle doesn’t just have a beautiful name, she creates beautiful pieces of art. Drawn to the mystical and magical connection that humans have with nature, Noelle was inspired to share a collection of gifts that let you permanently capture a sudden moment of beauty from the shore. Names, words and important dates are custom inscribed into the beaches of California, then photographed and presented as a special and memorable sentimental gift.
I think the coolest part of Nature’s Notebook is the customization aspect. For instance, when you choose the collection “Affirmation/Spiritual Inspiration College of 4 Photos” you then you pick the four words/symbols you’d like. Some images can be put onto canvas, but all can be framed in your choice of frame type. You can also decide whether to have the images in black and white or in color. With all of these choices, it’s easy to see how Noelle really lets you stamp your signature on the gift.

FroliCat BOLT Interacative Laser Toy Review & Giveaway
Thursday, December 24th, 2009
The BOLT thoroughly impressed me, and faithfully entertained my cat beyond my expectations.
Shopcat isn’t the first cat I’ve ever owned. My family growing up had three other cats for long periods of time. I say this so you know that I’ve bought and tried plenty of cat toys. You see, I was recently sent the BOLT Interactive Laser Toy by FroliCat to review, and I can wholeheartedly say that this is one of the best cat toys I’ve ever used.
It's difficult to see the red dot in this picture because of the fabric folding, but I'd wanted to include this gorgeous pillowcase that my friend, Kerstin, made for me!
Many cat toys leave your arm tired from playing, so companies invented all of these other toys that are meant to let your cat play by itself. In my experience? Those ‘hooked over the doorknob’ toys never work or ... Read More
Giveaway! Why Don’t YOU Have an Automatic Litter Box?
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009
I know you don’t want to deal and touch a cat box more than you have to. The ScoopFree self-cleaning litter box is the perfect solution.
Is there anything more annoying than cleaning out a cat box? Well, I’m sure there are some things that are more annoying – but it’s still definitely a major pain! As someone who’s has lived with both a cat and a dog I also know that a dog will (an eww moment is about to happen – brace yourself) go into the cat box and eat what’s there because of the protein content. So, keeping that box clean is not only important to ensure your cat uses it (cats are neat freaks) but in keeping your dog from being super-de-duper gross!
Enter, the ScoopFree Automatic Litter Box, which is a great self-cleaning litter box for your cat(s). After your cat has used the box a rake will go across the box and sweep the waste into a covered area. You never have to touch the stuff, because you throw away the tray. And the trays you buy have pretty blue Fresh Step® Crystals which will contain odor better than that normal, ugly litter. This means you can put this cat box anywhere – it won’t smell, and it’s actually p ... Read More
Bamboo Pet & Fat Cat Review and Giveaway
Saturday, December 19th, 2009
As a pet owner, I adore giving my pets treats and toys. I recently learned about the website for Bamboo Pet and Fat Cat, and the company graciously sent Shopcat and Shopdog some products so that we can see how they like them. And because we ended up loving this stuff so much, we’re doing a giveaway so that you guys can win some products!
Shopcat has gone just about flippin’ CRAAAZY for this Zoom Stuffers Catnip Toy that’s shaped like a funny-looking, cute-tastic bunny. The bunny has a pair of shorts on (with a carrot design – because this bunny is stylin’!), and there are these really amazing catnip “pods” included (2) which are little satchels of organic catnip. You stuff the pods into the bunny’s pants! Now, I’ve stood in aisles and looked over cat toys. You may have seen pictures of Shopcat where there’s a littl ... Read More

The Official Best of Fest ‘Chick Flicks’ Review & Giveaway
Saturday, December 5th, 2009
The snazzy Official Best of Fest gift sets aim to show you the best films you’ve never seen, or even heard about. I received a copy of the Chick Flicks gift set to review, but I’ve naturally had to take a couple days to watch enough of it to talk about.
These are substantial films that really make you feel.
Two disc’s are included. The first one has short films, and the second disc has two feature films. I was surprised by the short films, because while I thought they might all be feel-good, happy, mushy things – they were actually mostly dramas that kind of…well, there was a need for Kleenex! They’re ‘Chick Flicks’ in the sense that I can’t think of many guys who would appreciate watching these the way a woman could, but there’s nothing slap-happy involved here. These are substantial films that really make you feel.
I especially enjoyed the films The Republic of Love, Gafa, Charlotte’s Red and Danya. You can read the full list & synopses of the films included in the set.

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
Graphique is an online shop that publishes all sorts of goodies from stationery to wall decals. Because they have production centers in North America, Asia and Europe they are able to closely follow design trends to create the most fashionable products. Some people don’t realize how important a font can be (until it’s time to pick Wedding invitations – then they worry about font selection for a month). I love Graphique because they embrace style the way I want to embrace style in my everyday life.
I love Graphique because they embrace style the way I want to embrace style in my everyday life.
I received some products from GraphiquedeFrance.com to review, which included Home Decals (TM) from the Fashion-Forward selections (Chandelier, Framed) as well as the Lively Garden set which notably has a smooth surface of subdued glitter on the wall decals. I also received the absolute cutest notecards with a birds nest on the ... Read More
