Maybe we should just be friends?

I have a Cavoodle, she is nearly two years old and is completely perfect for our family. She toilet trained quickly, doesn't lose hair or bark too much, she'll play any game with any child, she'll race to bounce on the trampoline first, jump in the bath when I tell her too and so much more.

So it's really not fair that I love her less when she's been groomed. I wonder if that's normal? She looks like a stranger dog, no, no, no, worse than that, a fancy little stranger dog. Lola is a little tomboy and suits looking a little scruffy (a little like me). But, the weather has warmed up a little and she loves to go for runs, so it was time to lighten her load a bit. The girls were begging me not to, the husband insisted and Lola was just happy to be in the car with her pack.

We took her to Perfect Pooch in Clontarf for the works. We returned an hour later, took a moment in the car to get on our happy face. Once composed, we got out and walked in. The girls screamed...with excitement. They have a poodle now, with pretty prissy bows. Perfect Pooch actually did a really great job and I'll definitely be taking her back then again. They are lovely ladies that are great at their job and love the dogs.

I still like Lola a lot, but it might take a few days until it's love again.

I showed Lola a mirror and she laughed at the girly dog looking back at her.  Poor thing doesn't get it all at.

Cheap as Chips

Too many people had been raving about the Aldi "Lacura" Skin care range for me to ignore it. I'll admit that I was hesitant to try them.  Screwing my nose up at the thought. I wasn't sure that products that cheap should even be washing my floors, let alone my face.

I don't usually go to Aldi, so if you are like me here is some advice, be prepared with a gold coin to hire a trolley and either bring your own bags or buy some there ($0.15 each), as they don't provide bags at the check out. I didn't have a gold coin or bags.  So I ended up juggling way too many things I didn't really need.

Once inside it was a little hard to locate the bathroom section and to work out where the prices were listed. Then you have to dig around in the boxes to find the correct products. There were a few ranges and I selected products from the normal skin range. These products are under $10 each and the hand cream is under $3. I got the products for normal skin, and they were nice and light with a pleasant scent and cheap, cheap, cheap. After a few days, I still liked them. I hadn't broken out, got a weird rash or grown a third eye.  I think I'll be back again.

Lacura Multi Intensive Serum $9.99, Lacura Hand cream $2.99, Lacura Face cream Renew $8.99 and Lacura Eye Care $4.99
