But I think their latest creation takes the cake (so lame I know :p) I LOVE the idea.

Cupcake sausages, or cupcakewurst as they called it. Yes, that is really cake INSIDE a sausage case.

Noice, or not noice?

Check out how you can make your own, I know you want to!

I’m a bit of a smell junkie, I have a very heightened sense of smell.  My candle habit was getting a little expensive. With so many dogs and cats running, about regular candle oil burners were just too impractical. So I can across some lovely electric oil burners on eBay and went in search of some yummy scents to fill it with.

Came across Veeanca‘s store on etsy and she has a fabulous range, and they smell A-MAZ-ING. I have ordered 3-4 times now, trying out all the flavours. Our favs have been the Coffee, Musk Stick, Vanilla Chessecake and Orange and Vanilla.

What’s even better is that she is Sydney based, so I can often get my things the next day if I order early enough. Awesome service!

Check out Veeanca on etsy. Soy melts are only $2 a tub.

They also have a great range of other charms and jewellery.

Available from Crave Jewellery on etsy from $22AUD

Personalised hand stamped necklaces, rings, bracelet and bangles. They would make a great gift idea For Mother’s Day ;) (you had better get in quick to order to insure delivery in time).

I have been looking around for a necklace myself for months, there are so many..it is hard to decide.

The lead-up to Christmas is a critical time for puppy farmers who rely on impulse purchasing at pet shops in order to profit. We can stop the puppy trade by not buying puppies from pet shops and showing others why they should do the same.

Oscar’s Law aims to change the way our pets are kept, bred and sold.

• Abolish the factory farming of all companion animals.
• Ban the sale of factory farmed companion animals from pet shops and online trading sites.
• Promote adoption through rescue groups/pounds/shelters.

Watch and share this video to help educate others why we should not be buying any animals from pet shops.

What can you do to help?

• Don’t buy anything from businesses that exploit these poor animals, especially puppies and kittens.
• Help educate family and friends why is it is not OK for puppies and kittens to be sold in pet shops.
• Sign the online petition
• Join Oscar’s Law on Facebook and become proactive!
• Email the Premier, the Leader of the Opposition and Minister of Agriculture in your State, you can also email Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott. The website makes it easy, they have the letter for you,  just add your details and hit send!

Redkite is an Australian not-for-profit charity and they have asked that we all give a Gift-in-Kind this Christmas and lighten the load for families affected by childhood cancer. A gift of $75 can connect parents across Australia to vital counselling support over Christmas, no matter where they live.

Do you have people in your life who already have everything? This is the perfect practical gift to give to those very people — they can then start the new year feeling warm and fuzzy in the knowledge that they’ve helped a family who’s doing it tough.

It’s hard to think about sick kids at Christmas, but they’re out there. Imagine the  joy you could give these littlies and their families.

Redkite provides a range of services that help support families caring for young kids with cancer. This Christmas, over 8,000 families on the cancer journey will feel weighed down emotionally and financially. These gifts can lighten that load:

• A gift of $55 can pay for a child’s mobile phone bills so they can stay in touch with their family this holiday season.
• $75 can connect parents across Australia to vital counselling support no matter where they live.
• Donating $120 can help a child manage the stress of gruelling treatment by funding a Redkite music therapy session.
• Giving $800 can help a bereaved parent talk with others who are grieving in a Redkite telephone support group.

To donate, please visit www.redkite.org.au or call 1800 334 771.

Most have been eaten, or peed on and ruined. I came across Molly Mutt beds about 12mths ago, and they are the perfect pet bed!

The best part of these beds is in the stuffing. Regular pet beds can be near impossible to wash. But the molly mutt bed is just stuffed with your old clothes and blankets, washing the insides is just as easy as washing the cover.

I wash mine at least once a week, and it still looks great. I have just bought a second cover, so we can rotate them so the robots last a bit longer ;) To make it even easier to keep clean, they have recently released a water proof cover to go under the regular cover. Perfect if you have a peer like me.

Molly Mutt beds come in a range of funky fabrics as well as different shapes and sizes. So there is a perfect bed for all the furry family.

It’s a custom item on Etsy.
