PSA: DON'T USE THIS PET SITTER

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUCEMENT:

If you live in the West Chester, PA area and are looking for a pet sitter, dot NOT use Fuzzy Buttz R Us.  This woman let my aunt and uncle's dog STARVE for an entire weekend without a thought.
They have used her several times before and had scheduled her to watch their dog Katie this past weekend.  Upon arriving home, they found a huge mess all over the house and saw that all of her meals and medications were untouched.  She was left from Friday morning to Sunday evening.
My aunt called her and asked what happened.  She claimed that she had called to confirm that they still needed her and when she did not get a response, she figured they didn't need her.  She called and left a message on their HOME phone, after they had already left.  Having used her before, they had provided other numbers including their mobile's to her so while she had those numbers, she chose not to call them.
Katie is 15 years old and requires regular medication in addition to her regular food and potty breaks.
The fact that she went 3 days without food, medication or toilet breaks is APPALLING.  This woman obviously has no regard for your pet's safety or welfare.

Share this post so no other pet gets left to go hungry while under her care.

Yankee Candle Fall Haul

My favorite thing to see sitting on the porch when I get home!!!

For anyone who doesn't know by now, I'm OBSESSED with Yankee.  Like I have two 5 foot cabinets full of Yankee candles obsessed.  But thats another post.

I usually order my candles online about once a quarter or so and only when I've got a buy 1 get 1 or buy 2 get 2 coupon.  Most of the time, you can uses them multiple times in one order so I usually get enough to get me to the $100 minimum for the free shipping.  Sometimes a little more... 

Since we were moving this time last year, I didn't replace my fall scents so we didn't have to move them so this order was just fall scents.

I got 3 Spiced Pumpkin (one of my favorites, obviously!),  a Pumpkin Pie (meant to get 2, oops), Pumpkin Buttercream, Cinnamon Stick and Pumpkin Ginger Bark.

Spiced Pumpkin and Pumpkin Pie are my two favorite fall scents ever.  They both smell exactly how you would expect them to.  Spiced Pumpkin smells like fresh pumpkin with a bit of spice.  Pumpkin Pie smells just like warm pumpkin pie.

The Pumpkin Buttercream is one I havent tried before and I can't decide how I feel about it.  It definately has some good pumpkin scent but the buttercream is almost overly sweet smelling.  I'll keep burning it and get back to you on that one.

Cinnamon Stick is one we have ordered before and it is one of our holiday staples.  I prefer it more around Christmas.  It just smells almost overwhelmingly of cinnamon and it is just lovely.
Home Sweet Home was also a repurchase.  We have burned it the last few years and it is a favorite.  The online description says blend of cinnamon, baking spices and a hint of freshly poured tea and that is pretty close to what I smell.  I smell more cinnamon than anything else but I do smell the spices and tea.  It also has a nice warm smell once its lit.
The last one we got was Pumpkin Ginger Bark which was a new buy for us.  I think it smells like a little bit of pumpkin with a bit ginger and warm caramel.  We haven't lit this one yet but I can already tell I'll be ordering it again.

Chobani Family Greek Yogurts

We were invited to participate in the Chobani Family campaign through BzzAgent.com and sent 4 different kinds of Chobani greek yogurts to test.

The four that we we received were:


Chobani Greek in Strawberry flavor


Chobani Greek Simply 100 in Lemon Raspbery flavor


Chobani Greek flip in Peanut Butter Dream


Chobani Greek KIDS in Strawberry and Grape







The first one we tried was the orignial Greek in Strawberry.  The fruit in this cup is on the bottom so you stir it up before you eat it.  There were nice chunks of strawberry and the flavor is balanced.  However, we probably wouldn't buy this again.  The yogurt itself tasted just a little more sour than we prefer.  We prefer Muller greek yogurt for flavor and texture.  This was the best one of the Chobani's we tried in this review.

Before Stirred

After Stirred

The second one we tried was the flip yogurt.  We got the Peanut Butter Dream flavor.  Beau tried this one and he said that it was not his favorite combo.  He said the bits tasted like candied trail mix but the amount of the bits to the yogurt was a good balance.  He said he would not buy it again.

The next one we tried was the Simply 100 in Lemon Raspberry flavor.  The first thing we noticed about this one was that the cup was less than 2/3 full of yogurt.  I'm not sure if there was an air bubble or if they are all that way.  We did not care for this one at all.  The flavors were not the best combination.  The lemon flavor tasted more like a lemon zest than lemon juice which left a strange, acidic after taste in our mouths.  It says on the side that there is no sugar and whatever sweetener they used gave it a very fake sweet taste.  Almost like Sweet N Low.

 

The last one we tried were the KIDS pouches.  We all three tried them but Jordyn was our main tester!  Of the two, she went for the strawberry more than the grape.  We noticed while the strawberry tasted a lot like the original one we tried with real strawberries, the grape had a very processed tasting flavor.  Overall though she really seemed to like them.  If the price was right, I would buy these again for her.

See y'all next time!

Febreze vs Up & Up Fabric Refresher

Hi Everyone!
We are back again with another vs post!
This time we are looking at Febreze original vs Target's Up & Up fabric refresher spray.

Having two dogs as large as Abbey and Odessa, it is a constant struggle to keep the house from smelling like dog.  Between keeping them clean and my Yankee Candle addiction, we spray the furniture down regularly with Febreze.
I saw a sale on the Up & Up version of Febreze and decided to give it a try.
And I must say, we were not impressed at all. :(

I love Febreze.  I like that the smell doesnt fade quickly and does help to get rid of the odor instead of just covering it up.  The Up & Up acted more like perfume water than Febreze.  Every time I spray it, the smell is very faint then within a few minutes I can't smell it at all.  We noticed too that every time I would spray it, everyone would start coughing or sneezing.

Needless to say, we won't be buying this one again.  Just can't beat Febreze!
See the Amazon link below to purchase Febreze and click the image above to check out the Up & Up version at Target.com!

Thanks guys!

Kraft Cheese & Kraft Turkey Bacon Recall

For anyone who hasn't heard,













Kraft has issued a voluntary recall of some of their individually wrapped cheese slices as well as some of their turkey bacon.

The turkey bacon is being recalled because it might spoil before its "Best if Used By" date.  This is for bacon that was produced between May 31 and August 6th.  For a full list of the products recalled, see the full news release from the USDA here.

The cheese slices are being recalled because there is a possibility that a thin strip of the plastic film the cheese is wrapped in might remain stuck to the cheese after the wrapper has been taken off and could cause choking.

For a full list of the products recalled, see Kraft's press release here.








Have a great weekend!!
