Did you ever know someone who loved their pet so much that you wished you could get a gift that somehow tied that person to their pet and let everyone know how much they loved it? Or perhaps you are the pet lover, and you wished there was a place you could go to get things for your home or car or your life in general that reflected your pet. Well, I have stumbled on just such a place, Animal Den.
This online store offers gifts for animal lovers that range from pet themed address labels with an image of your pet, to license plate holders that say “I Love My Boston Terrier” to goat themed calenders. Want a set of coasters with cows on them? No problem, Animal Den is your place.

Let’s dig a little deeper and see just what they have to offer. Although Animal Den offers themed items for pretty much any animal you could think of, they specialize in gifts for pet owners. I own a Boston Terrier. When I go to the Animal Den site, I see a menu on the left that lists ten categories of pets. These include dogs, cats, bugs, birds, barnyard, freshwater, marine, reptiles, small critters, and wildlife. See what I mean when I say they have every animal covered?

OK, so I click on the dog category and am taken to a page listing all the different dog breeds Animal Den has gifts for. There are almost 180 different dog breeds listed! In my case, I clicked on Boston Terrier. I am then taken to a page with 55 different Boston terrier themed items. Everything from calenders to wind chimes.

It never occurred to me that there were so many items available themed toward a particular pet. Lapel pins, playing cards, picture frames, pillows, pencil holders, it just goes on and on.

So now I see an item I want to purchase. Have you ever been on a website and wanted to purchase something, but the site had such a bad set up to get you from product to check out that you ended up leaving the site without purchasing the item? That exact thing has happened to me and I find myself wondering how much money is lost by vendors on the internet because they have a poorly set up web site. I guess that is a subject for another article.

On the Animal Den site, you simply click on the item you want. You will then be taken to a screen with a large picture of the item and a large button to enter the quantity and “Add to Cart”. Click that button and you are taken to your shopping cart. Here you will see the items you have selected so far, and you are given choices to either continue shopping, or check out. If you are ready to check out, you will go to a screen asking for your shipping and billing information. Your items are on the way! This site has a very user friendly checkout system.

If you are an animal lover or know one and want to get them the perfect animal themed gift, go to Animal Den. I am confident you will be glad you did.

Spring is a sign of renewal in many areas of our lives, and our homes are no different! There is something energizing and refreshing about bringing that bright, airy feeling of Spring into your home. Here are the 10 best ways to spruce up and revitalize your rooms, on a dime!

1.Add white! White with your present color scheme will both cool and brighten, adding the freshness that only white can! If your room colors tend toward the warm side, such as yellows, browns, or reds…then choose creamier white such as ecru or ivory. If you have cooler colors in your room, such as greens and blues, go with the brighter, cleaner whites.

2.Try painting your focal wall, (that is, the one most seen) in a sunnier, brighter, or lighter shade of your current wall color. It will add lightness to the room without drastically changing the whole scheme. Don’t worry, you can always go back to that rich red in the fall, but how about a little petal pink, or sky blue? Remember, its only paint, its cheap!

3.Add a floral print fabric to your room. Using the primary colors already in your room, visit your fabric store and pick out a floral fabric you love with at least one of those primary colors in it. (The more, the better, but don’t feel you must have every color in the room also in the fabric!) Use that floral fabric to make table scarves, placemats, pillow covers, and simple seat cushion covers. Pair it with a solid fabric color already in the room, and you have a custom coordinated look, for just a few dollars and some simple straight sewing!

4.Pick up some pretty colored glassware from the dollar shop, and display it where the sun will light it up! You could even use clear glassware, and fill it with colored water to coordinate with the room. Use your glassware as vases, pencil holders, or candy dishes, but make sure it is seen! Glass sparkles and adds a bit of sunshine to a room.

5.Take down your curtains, and just leave your mini blinds underneath. Don’t leave it bare, though, we don’t want boring! Swag some dried or silk flowers over the top of the blinds, or use some muslin to twist around a curtain rod for an informal but airy valance. (No sew!)

6.Keep your windows sparkling clean. Dirty windows cut down on a surprising amount of light, and make a room look dull. As a bonus, clean windows mean more sparkling glass, and that makes room feel larger and brighter!

7.Pot up some pansies from the garden center and use them indoors as houseplants. They are cheap, easy, and add flowers to a room without the cost of replacing floral arrangements every week! You can even coordinate the flower color to the color scheme of the room. Don’t match the colors, just pick something complementary.

8.Clear most of the artwork and accessories out of your room, and just keep a few larger, simpler pieces. It declutters the room, and helps to put the focus on the freshness of a room. Consider picking up a white lattice from the garden center, and hang it on the wall as a focal point. Place a potted plant in front of it, or hang small framed garden catalog prints from it. Let it be a reminder of the outdoors all season long!

9.Use a stencil or a stamp to add floral and nature motifs to your room for very little money. Stencil vines around windows and doors, hand paint seasonal sayings over doorways with a paint pen, or stamp a floral bouquet on the front of cupboard doors. You can always paint over those small areas with touch up paint in the fall. (Or you might love them so much, they stay year round!)

10.Finally, don’t forget your entry area when you are creating that spring glow all around your home. Remember, your entries are a visitors first impression of your home! Add a pot of pansies on the porch, paint your entry a fresh spring color, and hang a handmade wreath or a basket of flowers on the front door.

All these ideas take very little time, little or no money, and do wonders for your spirit and the spirit of those who you love. Take a little time to brighten your lives!burn the fat feed the muscle review
