Hi Girls I was pretty lazy last week, I did not do any blog posts, but I was busy as well, I went to a beauty event in Hampton. This Lady who was kind enough to invite me to her event have a nice SPA and she uses botanical skin care and body products.
Her Spa is really lovely, and she has a friendly environment. She is also working on her botanical products, i think she is waiting for her grant/permission to release the products.
I had a chance to test her lovely products, Products are really good for the ones who loves botanic, vegan stuff.
Eg I can not use an architoke mask, while I can not even eat it as a vegetable.
She has 2 dogs and a black cat, her house was heaven for me that night.
As soon as I entered her living room, her black cat jumped on me, she was lucky cos I adore animals,
We had lovely time with the kitty kat, she was all around my neck & shoulders, I was giving her nice kisses & strokes as a reward.
Actually her master said I do not even kiss my own dogs & cats how can you not kiss & cuddle this lovely baby. If she was my cat I would be possibly cuddling and sleeping with her.
So in short words meet kitty cat &Bailey the dog
Bailey enjoyed sitting on my lap, but was not that fun for me, he is a big boy and pretty heavy for me, He did not want to get up

Companies Still Testing on Animals
After receiving an email from a friend decided to post this
As a deep animal fan,What I read is just disappointed me. We are living at in age that with just using technology we can do anything with computers.
While there are ways testing out these makeup, cosmetics & skin care without torturing animals, why choose the way to torture them.
I can not hit to my son (dog) with a newspaper when he is a naught boy, how can somebody torture them?
I am against animal torture and testing for whatever the reasons are. !!!
I have taken this part from PETA'S WEBSITE
For more than two decades, Avon, Mary Kay, and Estee Lauder have been among the largest mainstream international companies on PETA's cruelty-free lists. Avon banned all tests on animals following PETA's massive "Avon Killing" campaign, and Mary Kay pledged to go cruelty-free after cartoonist Berkeley Breathed mocked the company in his popular Bloom County comic strip. Since then, all three companies have enjoyed the support of PETA and millions of consumers who choose to buy cosmetics from companies that don't harm animals. But now we have learned that all three companies have been paying for tests on animals at the requirement of the Chinese government—and they did not inform PETA or consumers that their policies had changed. We have no choice but to downgrade them by placing them on our list of companies that test on animals.
When we learned that the Chinese government requires tests on animals before many cosmetics products can be marketed in China, we immediately contacted all three companies. While we understand that China is an enormous market that these companies aren't willing to ignore, we had hoped they would take action to eliminate this requirement or push for non-animal test methods to be accepted. Mary Kay had taken some steps to work with officials in China, and at our urging, promised to continue this effort—but Avon and Estee Lauder appear to have gone along with the painful animal tests without objection.
PETA is financially supporting the efforts of the Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS), which is putting together a coalition of corporate experts, providing training for scientists in China in the use of non-animal test methods, and working with officials there to promote the acceptance of non-animal methods that are used in the U.S., the European Union, and much of the world.
Fortunately, there are still more than 1,000 companies on our "Don't Test" list whose products consumers can buy with a clear conscience.
Please take a moment to let Avon, Mary Kay, and Estee Lauder know that you are disappointed in their backsliding and that you will no longer buy the companies' products as long they are tested on animals. "
