My thoughts on Kitty Litters

 

For the cat lover that I am, I try my best to test out what products are good for my cats, like the most effective litter and kibbles. For cat lovers out there, here’s my thoughts on certain cat products that I’ve tried, tested and researched about. First off, let’s talk about kitty litters. As we all know, cats’ feces smell horrible and can leave the area where the litter tray is placed smell bad. So you need to buy something that would really work for you and your kitty.

My top 3 picks for kitty litters:

1. Catsan 5ml for P200 (depending on where you buy it)

 

Catsan has fine like grains, which is good because it does not waste up too much of the product compared to bigger grains. As for clumping, it does it's job well and does not harden too much compared to another brand named Happy Cat, which hardens like cement (almost), as for odor control, It's quite tolerable and can last for 8 days maximum. But I'd suggest that you put baking soda or arm & hammer litter deodorizer which costs about P138.95

  The best litter deodorizer out there, but others use baking soda, that I have to try too!

2. Feline Essence 5ml, I buy mine either at Dog City Makati P350 and Ace Hardware Cash and Carry P299

Feline Essence has different scents where you can choose from, I bought mine with a fresh lemon scent. If you have clear eyes, you can see that it has fine grains, finer than Catsan actually. I have tried 2 scents already, the Lemon and Rosemary, I prefer the lemon scent though as for the rosemary has a very subtle smell. It’s much cheaper if you buy this at Ace hardware, just P300 bucks.

3. Prize Litter

   This one is really hard to find these days at Shopwise or Rustan’s Supermarket, although it’s not clumping it works really well and the scent smells really good compared to the Feline essence. This one costs only P183.75 at Shopwise but for the longest time they have not been restocking this great product. Grains are not that fine and color is ash black. I really hope they will restock this, I’ve only seen this at Rustans.

  Other brands I’ve tried are Tidy Cats, which is probably my next best bet. Happy cat, well, I hated this product as it clumps so hard and does  not do anything in absorbing the smell. After trying out a few, I now stick to the brands that work for me and my cats. Although, there is one product called Kitty Comfort but it’s so expensive, costs around P700+ or more but it’s a big box and I think it can last a month and I’ve heard good reviews about it so far, maybe next time.

In my experience, it’s not only the disinfecting and choosing the right litters that would help lessen (somehow) the smell of a cat’s poop. I’ve noticed every time I feed them Whiskas their poop smells soooo horrible. So it’s the food as well. I’ve stayed away from feeding them Whiskas since it’s just junk food and has a high content of ash magnesium which is bad for the cats. Well, it’s okay to give them that, just not too often. Well, so there you go!

For cat lovers out there, what brands do you buy for your kitties?

Much Love!

Rewarding Myself

   It’s been a while since I made a make up review for the past month, I haven’t bought anything new lately since my make-up kit is still full of foundation powders, blush and lipsticks to finish. Probably next month I’ll be buying a new set to reward myself from working hard, no lates or what so ever. Reason for that is, I feel overworked, all work and no play (no time to attend worship or even go to the mall, of course except Robinson’s Galleria just to buy food) and I haven’t even bought anything that I REAAALLY like, like make-up. Most are just necessities I need.

   

  I was really happy to come across projectvanity’s blog about Makeup on a budget: Get the best for under P5,000!. I’ve read good reviews about In2It’s Oil control foundation powder and now I am convinced to get it, the price ranges as the same price of Maybelline’s Angelfit foundation powder P700. That’s why I was hesitant to buy In2It but then again, It’s worth a try, since I really need good coverage and keep my face from being too oily at the end of the day. And from Whimsical Whatnots And Whatever.  I was highly interested with her make up haul, which consisted of Etude’s Sleeping pack P498 and Dr. Oil foundation powder P378, Lastly, from projectvanity was Etude’s Concealer for only P298.

                                   pictures are not mine, grabbed from projectvanity’s blogsite.

  For Lippies,  I’m planning to buy the new Revlon Colorburst Lipstick, it costs around P500+ not bad I think. And almost every beauty blogger is raving about it.

  

    I’m sooo looking forward in buying these babies and have my own experience about it. Of course every product varies to each person so we’ll see!

Till then!

Mongolian Quick Stop – Schezuan Squid

 

   Hello readers, weekends are almost here, what are you all up to?

  As for me, here’s another food review which is a backlog already. Didn’t have time to do this in the office these days. So anyways, I’ve been lemming on Mongolian Quick Stop for some time now and so far, I have not been disappointed yet with my orders. First was the Spicy fish pasta (which was just sardines btw) and the Schezuan squid which had rice, lots of white onion and green bell peppers. This one cost me around P110 ala cart, I noticed their prices are quite pricey though, but it’s good to reward yourself with something like this from time to time.

 

                                         Schezuan Squid P110 ala cart

    For the price, I would say that I wasn’t disappointed with how big the servings are, even with the pasta I ordered a few weeks ago, servings were pretty big and most importantly flavorful. As for this order, this one really filled up my tummy. I just wished that it had more squid pieces rather than the onions, but it was no biggie. And the texture of the squid wasn’t tough (which is the most important factor), you wouldn’t want to eat a rubbery squid do we?  Usually I love my food spicy so I asked them to make it spicy for me but then the lady said that it’s already spicy and YES it is! as for the sauce beneath the overloading toppings, the rice was smothered with the spicy schezuan sauce. Another happy spoon for me. Too bad I can’t order this everyday, since I’m on a budget. Looking forward to eating here with my significant other some day.

So the verdict? 3.9/5 Spoons (I have yet to taste authentic Schezuan, any suggestions?)

Will I eat there again? Of course I would! Will order something new this coming payslip (hehe).

Mongolian Quick Stop

A long over due review, but before anything else sad news my dear readers. Our house got robbed and the only thing that got stolen was my acer laptop, but they forgot to get the charger (stupid dumbass!) Oh well, was really glad nothing bad happened to us that night.

 

It’s time for my favorite review, food review! and for this week it’s Mongolian Quick Stop at Robisnons Galleria. I’ve been meaning to try this out with my significant other, but we always end up eating at our favorite places like Japanese, Italian or fast food. So for a change I decided to try it out on my own. I was torn between their rice meals or noodles and was surprised that they serve noodle dishes. I ordered the Spicy fish noodles which cost me around P85. Pictures below

 

 

      This was my order, at first I was expecting huge chunks of fish since it says on the sign board fish noodles, but then it was just spicy sardines. 1 spoon down, as for the taste? It was flavorful and is indeed spicy! So I was not disappointed there. Servings were quite huge too. My thoughts about it, they should have said sardines instead of fish.

 

My verdict: 3/5 spoons

Will definitely eat here again :)

Berry Licious

 

   Hey there, I know I’ve been slacking on my reviews on beauty products and food, been caught up with work and before I could even take a picture of the new things that I’ve tried particularly food, It’s gone! haha. But anyway, today is sweldo day, unfortunately my supposedly hair color date is cancelled, I just have to prioritize things first. I’m sure that by next month I’ll be to open my own savings account, WOOT! I don’t really earn that much, but it’s not that small, since I’m just a fresh graduate with no work experience yet so It’s all good. Work has been the same, although it will get more hectic in the coming weeks to come since our “boss” from Hong Kong will be visiting us and have a meeting, so yeah, this will be my first time to meet Sir Louise. But enough about work, I may be boring you, haha.

 

  My haven or stress reliever would be going to beauty stores like Watsons, PCX, SM beauty (makati) etc. And of course, I needed to buy a few stuff (although I made sure not to overspend though). So here are my beauty haul

   It’s not much really, and excuse the background, I may not have time to do this tomorrow so I took a picture of it at my work station. Some were not included anymore as it’s just the basic like a whole lot of pack of tissues and others were brought at Shopwise like deodorant, etc. What caught my eye was this yummy looking shampoo, Nature’s Organics fruits in wild berry scent. Sounds yummy no? haha.

  It’s actually cheap, for only P170, not bad, although I didn’t buy the conditioner, just wanted to try out the shampoo first since I’m a loyal user with creamsilk. lol.  But maybe next time. There’s 3 scents I think and each depending on to what your hair needs. I think my hair’s kinda limpy or maybe because it’s in a scent and color that I love, haha. Oh well. I haven’t tried it yet, and I’m not even sure if this one is new in the market. I’ll make an update regarding this yummy looking shampoo, until then!

 

Enjoying the Weekday so far ladies?
