I can’t believe it’s that time to start our holiday shopping. This year has gone so fast and now it’s Black Friday already! While I’d love to take advantage of awesome Black Friday sales and discounts, I refuse to participate in the madness. I’m simply not patient enough for that.
Luckily many stores are offering good deals online this year too. Retail Me Not has assembled a whole section just for Black Friday specials. On this page you will find tons of links to special offers and sales to explore. There are even a few select coupon codes for use in some online stores. Good luck to anyone who chooses to fight the crowds. I’ll be snuggled up on my couch with my trusty laptop instead.

Pets seem to automatically be drawn to laser pointers. My pets on the other hand are not. I don’t know why but they could care less. I’ve seen cats firsthand that go bonkers chasing a laser pointer though. To the point of panting and exhaustion!
If you have a dog or cat that loves the laser pointer, you may want to spend a few bucks on the FroliCat Bolt. The great thing about this product is that you can turn it on, set it down and walk away. It projects the laser on it’s own in patterns. You can even set a 15 minute timer to keep them occupied after you leave the house! And it’s only $19.95 plus shipping. Make sure you order early if you want this for a Christmas gift.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I'm lucky enough to work from home with the help of my two cats and recently adopted puppy. I'm addicted to all things beauty so in my spare time, I enjoy shopping for new products and sharing them with you. I'm obsessed with Pinterest so every once in a while I'll throw in my favorite new recipes that my husband and I try and like. Hope you enjoy your time here!
