Treat Your Pets Like Family and Feed Them Delicious and Nutritious Freshpet!

This post has been sponsored by Freshpet.  All opinions are mine alone.

As you may have noticed by now, I am a very proud pet parent to two adorable pups.  Lola, my soon to be 10-year-old, has been my furry best friend since the beginning of her life.  She has been through more life changes with me than the majority of my friends and I take her health veryseriously.  After years of Lola being an only pup, my husband and I expanded our family last year when we adopted Flynn, who is now just over one-year-old.  The two are at very different stages of their lives, with Lola now officially a senior and Flynn just on the brink of adolescence.  With such varying needs, it can be challenging to find food options that work for and nourish both pups which is why I have chosen to feed the two of them Freshpet.

Freshpet allows you to make smart health choices for your beloved pets by offering delicious and nutritious all-natural pet food.

The Best Essential Oil Blends for Winter

I don’t know about where you are, but here in Kansas City winter has arrived in full force.  We have officially experienced our first two Midwestern snowfalls and, I have to say, I am in awe of how beautiful this city is when covered in a fresh dusting of snow.  To get my household in the holiday spirit I have been using this collection of the best essential oil blends for winter around the clock.  These blends are all rich, vibrant, and sure to get you in a winter mood, regardless of whether you have snow on the ground.

As with the collection of summer and fall oil blends I previously shared, each of these blends can be made from a $20 set of 14 essential oils that you can purchase on Amazon.  The cute little diffuser I personally use and recommend is $15.  That means you can test out the advantages of using essential oils yourself for $35!  I swear by both products and can attest to both their quality and durability.  You can learn more about the fabulous benefits of using essential oils, and find links to my recommended essential oils set and diffuser, after the jump.

This collection of the best essential oil blends for winter is full of rich, intimate scents certain to leave you feeling excited to celebrate the season.
