  1. Aw, your cat is adorable! She looks like a less-chubby version of one of my cats, haha.

    Batiste is one of my favorite beauty products, too, and it's by far the best dry shampoo I've ever used. Way better than those crazy-expensive ones from Sephora. How is the Original scent? I've only used the Blush scent, which I like well enough. But I'm almost out and really need to go get another bottle..can..whatever.

  4. Jean- It's light powdery scent. I don't find it overpowering or offensive.

    Caitlin- I just got Tahiti,Sweetie for the first time a few weeks ago. I've been wanting to wear tropical scented things since it started getting warm here. This is exactly what I was looking for. Fruity tropical not coconut tropical, which I also love but it reminds me so much of sunscreen.

    Everyone-My cat appreciates your comments, but if she could talk she would say she already knows shes cute. She's definitely a Regina George (from Mean Girls) type. She thinks she amazing :P.

  5. i love shea foot cream! I ran out last night and ran to pick up more!

    I've been eyeing some of the dollar tree items you mentioned but I'm just kind of weird about it... I know it's a #1, but most of the stuff, at my dollar tree anyway, is all older, retired products, so I'm afraid to try anything. hah.

  6. I wouldn't worry about that at all. Many people find great discontinued beauty products at DT. I've never had an issue with anything, and it's not as if they were used. As long as everything is packaged and sealed it should be good.
