😸 Cat sitting #2

 Time to have a little update on Masha, Sassy and their relationship. I think I can slowly see some improvement. 

As I mentioned in my previous post, I started using aromatherapy for pets to help them relax not only around each other, but also because I had people working in the apartment and I know Masha always feels stressed when someone she doesn't know is around. And even tho Masha is still nervous, I think they are more relaxed around each other now. Plus, they stayed in the same room while the worker was here.

Sassy looks much more comfortable moving around the house and she even slaps Masha when needed. Is good that she's showing her she won't allow her to bully her.  

I had 2 weeks off for Spring break so I had more time to be here and check on them, I no longer kept them in separate rooms and, I even saw them chasing each other (in a playful way) without any growling or hissing. Big yay!

It's funny because even tho I try to keep their food bowls and little boxes separated, the use them both without caring if it's their own. I hope it is not a bad thing~ Masha and Michee used to do that too.

Like I said before, Sassy is a very sweet girl, it's hard not to love her. She likes to nap in the closet, loves Masha's favorite lizard toys too and also had a video call with her mom this month.

This is a short update but I'm really glad with how things are slowly developing between them. I'll see you next month with another Cat sitting update.

In case you missed the previous one: 😸 Cat sitting #1

Aromatherapy for pets 🐾

As some of you already know, we have a little furry roommate staying with us for a couple of months, Sassy. But her relationship with Masha hasn't been exactly easy. Add to that, I've had people over working on the apartment so, life has been stressful for the girls. 

Searching online I found that using aromatherapy can help to relax cats (dogs too) and that can also improve their relationship cuz they won't be as stressed around each other. I knew I had to try!

Out of all the products and online stores, I found "El Rebozo de Dolce", which is a mexican store focused on cats and dogs. The stuff they have is cute but, what I liked the most is the way they answered to my questions about their product. It was very caring and nice. That's they main reason why I chose their product. Plus, their logo and main model is a cute chihuahua, Dolce, that reminds me of Tinkie a little. The whole concept is adorable!!

What I got is a lavender oil from their line Yokoxkayotl, that according to their info, means relaxation in Nahuatl.

It is made with natural ingredients such as: lavender essential oil, neroli essential oil, and orange essential oil.

You can apply some of the product on their hear, back and even ears, giving them a little massage. 

I do have to mention the presentation tho, cuz it is super cute! The product came in a fabric pouch with their logo embroidered in pink. 

Inside, there was a cardboard bag with the product. 

They included the spray applicator too. Idk, I just love these little details. It makes a brand special.

I started using this product earlier this month on both, Sassy and Masha. Masha won't let me apply it on her so, I like to spray some on her blankie and the places where she likes to nap. I did apply it on Sassy's back tho. I think it's also a nice way to pamper the babies.

Sassy seems to be more relaxed than Masha when the workers are over, but relationship wise, I think it has improved the way they interact a little. They are not as grumpy and nervous around each other. 

The smell of the oil is actually pretty nice and soft, I like it! Cuz I read that other products were to strong and they kinda scared the pets away. This is defo not the case. 

El Rebozo de Dolce also has clothes and accessories for the furbabies.

🍷 Gato Negro - Cavernet Sauvignon Limited Edition

 

"Wine a little and you'll feel better"

Here comes another wine post! It's funny cuz I only wanted to get this wine because of the name and the bottle, you know... crazy cat lady.

Gato Negro Cavernet Sauvignon is a Chilean red wine that has notes of strawberry, chocolate and a hint of vanilla, according to its information. It's very fresh and they say it goes well with red meat and cheese. 

Like I mentioned in my previous wine post, I tend to ignore this and just have it with whatever I crave at that moment.

I got an special edition bottle because it was too pretty! It has all these colorful flower details that other bottles don't have. 

It contains 13% alcohol and even tho it wasn't exactly sweet, it was nice and easy to drink.

This wine is surprisingly cheap! And when I got it they had a 2x1 kind of thing so I had the chance to have it as it is, at room temperature and also with soda. Yup, with soda. Mom and I mixed it with Yoli, a lemon soda she really likes, to make an easy-homemade sangria type of thing. It wans't bad! It was actually pretty refreshing. I just thought it needed more wine cuz we only used 1 bottle.

I've mostly seen red wine but, looking online I saw they also have Rose wine. I defo want to try that one next.

Loraine 花見 🌸

Last year when we first visited Café Loraine we heard they were having a Hanami event and even tho we really wanted to go, we couldn't because of work and well, the pandemic was a lot worse than how it is now. 

Earlier this month, some of my friends wanted to have our own Hanami to celebrate the beginning of the Spring season. We didn't really see many flowers and as some of you might know, "Hanami" means Flower viewing so, I guess it was more like a Spring picnic. It was still fun tho.

Loraine's Hanami is an indoors picnic under a fake Sakura tree. We don't have real Sakura in my country so, is the closest we can get, hehe. 

You have to make a reservation because they only allow 2 groups of 6 people max. And it's only on Thursdays. I believe they'll have it until April. I'm not sure tho.

They prepared this big tablecloth thingy with lots of pillows under the tree. Everything in pink and blue. This café is very pink, I love it.

We paid $343.00 for the whole thing that included: Maki, Pink Lemonade, Taro or pink Latte, a kiré, pink Hershey's, a plushie and socks because we couldn't stand on the tablecloth with our shoes. They also gave us a free milkshake coupon.

Our food came in cute baskets. And even tho the maki was a bit soggy for me, it was pink and blue, which made it super cute. 

The Kiré was delish! I believe it was strawberry with blueberries and some flower petals. I just loved it. My taro latte was pretty good too.

Even tho we got different drinks, they were all pretty and decorated. 

I think the bunny was the cutest

I think all in all, it was a great experience, defo worth it. I feel like they take care of the little things and I appreciate that. The staff is always super nice and the place is perfect for pictures!

Random photo dump 🌸:

We forgot to take a plushie group pic but we all got penguins. This is mine, Pen-Pen.

Can you see Pen-Pen?

Café Loraine has other seasonal events too. Hopefully we'll be able to go more often this year.

☾ Sailor Moon Crystal Crunch Cereal Box

 Today we have an unofficial Sailor Moon Cereal Box I got a while ago at the Kawaii Pop expo I went with my friends.

I bought it because I thought it was a unique thing to buy, I never saw something like this before! They had different designs and even sizes. I got a small box because they didn't have a bigger SM one. If I remember correctly, they also had SNK, The Simpsons and even Rugrats cereal boxes.

It's called Crystal Crunch which is a pretty good name for a SM cereal. It also says that it includes a Luna magnet~ It'd have been cool if that was true tho...

This is how the front and back of the box looks like.

And we have these cute pics on the sides.

When you onpen the box, the cereal comes in a separate silver bag, as most cereals do.

When I opened the box I found Froot Loops, I wans't surprised tho, I was expecting it to have random cereal inside.

Even tho it is not an offical item, I think the whole concept is pretty cool. I'd have chosen something like Lucky Charms for this particular one tho. 

I'll keep the box to display on my kitchen or something and I'll get the SNK one if I get the chance, the box featured Levi Heichou so, yeah.

This is a bit of a short and random post but you know everything Sailor Moon is worth sharing to me. Hehehe.

Miniso Color Me Liquid Foundation

 I feel like we haven't had a makeup post in such a long time! 

I recently bought a new foundation from Miniso and thought it'd be the perfect time for a little makeup review kind of thing.

Before this one, I was using the Fit Me matte + poreless foundation from Maybelline, which wasn't a bad product, it had a matte, velvety finish and that is pretty but isn't my favorite. Specially during winter, when my skin gets super dry. It was also light coverage and, right now, my skin needs at least a medium coverage. Wearing a mask has been giving me terrible skin!! 😢 I did finish the product tho. 

sorry it is all gross but, this is the shade I was using.

The one I got and recently started using is the Color Me Liquid Foundation in the color LR2. I believe it is the 2nd lightest one, the lightest was way too light for me. They had 4 different shades.

This foundation is medium coverage and has a creamy yet light texture which blends nicely and evenly. It contains gotu kola, leaf oil and fruit extracts and helps to even your skin tone. I'd say it gives you a dewy look, giving your skin a natural, healthy glow. 

I'm only wearing moisturizer and sunscreen on the first pic. You can defo see a difference on the 2nd one, where I do have some foundation on.

It comes with a dispesenser that makes the application clean and easy. Plus, it's easy to control the amount of product you want to use. 1 pump is enough to cover your face.

It doesn't really have a scent to it, so it'll be great if you are not a fan of scented products.

Durability wise it's pretty good.  It looks nice throughout the day. I actually apply it with my fingers to warm up the product a little bit and then pat it with my beauty blender after spraying some makeup setting spray. Idk if it makes any difference or not but, it works for me. 

All in all I think it's a good product for an affordable price. The only down side to it is that Miniso tends to stop restocking some products after some time.

See you next time~ ♡

Kimetsu No Yaiba Tomioka Mini Figure

We have another husbando figure guyssss! This time is a Giyu Tomioka figure my friends gave me. He was part of the Kimetsu No Yaiba Nitotan Figure Blind Bag (Series 1).

This blind bags feature 5 characters: Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, Zenitsu and, of course, Tomioka.

They were lucky tho, cuz you know how you can get a random character when you buy these type of bags and even tho we do like Nezuko and Tanjiro, they're not our favs. They got our 3 loves: Zenitsu, Inosuke and Tomioka. Of course, they kept their husbandos.

The chibi Tomioka came with a black base and it's just adorable! I love his serious yet cute expression. 

Even tho he is around 4cm tall, he has really nice painting details on his clothes. You can even see he has his sword peaking from his clothes.

I wasn't expecting to recieve this baby so, It was a very unexpected but nice surprise. 

I don't know what charachters come in "Series 2" and I'm not sure if I'll collect more of them. All I know is, I'm happy to have little Tomioka. Hehe.
