Shopping with Cherrybrook

It’s no secret I’m a pet person, specifically a dog person although I love them all. I recently found Cherrybrook Premium Pet Supplies, an online retailer of pet supplies (but they also have stores!), and I’m super impressed. I love that they specialize in pet foods containing healthy, natural ingredients (with only named protein sources) – whole grains and holistic ingredients. They have exceptional customer service that help top show professionals to groomers to loving pet parents. They also host rescue groups and donate to pet causes – a major plus and something I look for when creating a relationship with a company. I want to know that a business I spend my money at gives back and cares about its community. But, let’s get back to the shopping – it’s so easy to find top quality items with Cherrybrook. They only carry top quality products at great prices. Cherrybrook is run by animal lovers and they only offer products they would choose for their pets. They care about the healthy and happiness of pets.

I’m listing out a sampling of their great products! From grooming products to food and treats, they carry it all. One of our favorite busy toys available at Cherrybrook is a benebone. It’s a tough chew toy made with real Jack Salmon, and made in the USA! My dogs love the smell and the curved fish shape gives a little added challenge that keeps them stimulated.

I have to wash my dogs every two weeks to keep them fresh and clean – especially because one is a puppy and always getting into mud. I found Nature’s Specialties at Cherrybrook and it’s a brand that has been trusted and relied on by professional groomers for over 40 years. I’ve seen it in my groomers station! Their products are high quality and safe and effective for pets. I also have Chris Christensen Signature Scents Grooming Cologne for after a bath session, or even in between. A light spritz creates a super yummy scent – you’ll want to snuggle your dog or cat all day long.

The Chris Christensen Breeze brushes are a dog owner’s essential. The brush I have features a new pad design and is super lightweight with beechwood handles. They have several types available featuring different pad flexibility and sizes. My dog Otto loves a little brushing session!

Since I live in a state with all four seasons, keeping my dogs skin and paws soft and smooth is important. Snow and salt can majorly effect their paw pads. iGroom Skin Rescue is made from all natural and organic ingredients (think pomegranate oil, mango butter and beeswax), and creates a soothing wax barrier to protect my dogs paws. It’s an essential for winter season, but is just as important for sand and heat!

I have a Fluff & Tuff pet toy because my dogs love a stuffed animal, and I try to keep them away from my kids toys. Fluff & Tuff is a line of cute and safe pet toys meant for play and snuggle time, using superior materials with special construction methods to ensure durability. They also have charitable initiatives that benefit dogs in need!

Last but not least, I have an awesome cooler bag (great for summer travel!) from Cherrybrook’s BirdDawg store that offers a bunch of gifrts and apparel that are customizable by breed. They have over 300 designs available – I of course picked the poodle because all of my furbabies have been poodle mixes. I’m partial.

Take a look at Cherrybrook Premium Pet Supplies here – they have made it super easy to shop for my dogs. I love the selection and trust their knowledge in products. They have a huge offering of gifts for all my pet parent friends. If you’re looking for the best quality and healthy pet products, definitely check them out and use my discount code, DOGMOM10 to get 10% off their entire selection!

Maple Whisky Sour

This is the perfect cocktail to ring in the New Year – it’s sweet, has depth, and a tart pucker from the lemon. I used J.P. Wiser’s Deluxe Whisky for it’s smooth flavor. It pairs so well with the maple and lemon flavors. A sprinkle of cinnamon is the perfect touch for a cozy night in (or for a party, whenever we have one of those again!).

I was not always a whisky person – I’ve tried a few whisky cocktails here and there with my husband, and this is by far my favorite and one I love to make around the holidays. It’s great for sipping and relaxing. If you’re spending the night in, I highly recommend mixing one (or several) of these up! I am going to try a hot toddy with J.P. Wiser’s Deluxe Whisky next. Sign me up for warm winter drinks.

I’ve linked classic to chic whisky glasses + the ice cube trays we used to make the cocktails special. Any would make awesome birthday, housewarming, shower or wedding gifts. Cheers to the New Year and the hope of parties to attend!

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ ounces (3 tablespoons) J.P. Wiser’s Deluxe Whisky
  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3ish teaspoons maple syrup, or to taste
  • Sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a cinnamon stick to stir
  • Fun ice cubes

In a shaker, combine ice, whisky, lemon juice and maple syrup. Shake for about 30 seconds. Pour over “fun” ice cubes, such as large round or square. Sprinkle with cinnamon or swirl with a cinnamon stick.

Reduce the Burden of the Flu

We’ve all been through the ringer this year with the pandemic, and it’s so important to stay healthy going into this winter season. I am keeping up with my health checklist by eating immunity boosting foods, staying active, and getting my annual flu shot. I want to share my story about why I get the flu shot every year.

Charcoal Facial Soap

Fall is when I get crafty. Something about winter approaching and cool weather makes me want to create and stock up. I make this charcoal facial soap each year since one batch makes about 10 bars. I can gift them and make myself a nice inventory. I’ve been using this soap religiously for years. It’s gently cleansing, detoxing, and makes my skin feel smooth. I love that I know exactly what’s in it – no crazy ingredients, nothing I can’t pronounce, and I can play with it if I feel like adding anything new. I love the deep charcoal color and the smell.
