I’ve been playing around with various Photoshop filters lately, so I was excited to have a chance to try out AKVIS Oil Paint, a software program that allows you to transform your photos into oil paintings. You can install it as a Photoshop plugin or a standalone program. It comes with a variety of presets … Read more
Yay! The June Glossybox is here! You might recall from last month, a dear friend of mine gifted me with a subscription to this awesome service. Partially to show her how much I appreciate it, and partially because I just like to share, I am reporting the unboxing here each month! This is the special … Read more
Not that I need any more bath products, but the recent amazing Bath & Body Works sale proved irresistible. I managed not to go too crazy and got all of this, with the sale and a coupon, for around $30! I was apparently in the mood for summery scents, coconut oil soaked beaches, wildflowers and … Read more

For this mission, I brought in my guest product tester and self-proclaimed Spoiled Rotten King of the Universe, The Mighty Thor Thunderpaw. He says hi! Each shipment of Petbrosia is tailored to … Read more
