This page is a nod to some of my faves!
When we find something fabulous, it's natural to talk about it, share it - sometimes scream it from the mountaintops. I love watching people who love what they do, do what they love - and are good at it. Plus, I get to reap the rewards.
Here's to those who are the best at what they do, making the best for the rest of us! Thank you for putting the rest of us to shame, and making our lives all the better for it.
Pets & Home Goods
Smalls Cat Food
I just started my guys on Smalls but it's going well so far. Seems like a great company - fresh "gently cooked" human-grade cat food, high protein, minimally processed, preservative-free. Delivered frozen on a scheduled basis but VERY user friendly site. Prices reasonable for what you get. Thaw overnight and serve - easy peasy!
Sleepypod Pet Carriers
Sleepypod makes incredible pet carriers of all varieties. I suspect anything they make would be outstanding. You pay a premium for it, but they will last forever.
Bissell Little Green Pet Pro carpet cleaner
I just replaced my old Bissell spot cleaner with this Pet Pro and OMG it's fabulous! I have a kitty that loves to make messes (all body fluids), and this has done a great job on everything.
AspenClean eco-friendly cleaning products
AspenClean products - I have been using these for several years now and love them! Highest ratings by EWG. My favorites are the Eucalyptus dish soap and the lavender laundry detergent.
Window Gems
Window Gems are clear window decals that keep birds from crashing into your windows kamikaze-style. More than 1 billion birds die every year from window collisions. These don't eliminate the problem entirely but they do work pretty well. Little company out of Mount Shasta, CA.
