Can’t get enough crazy cat videos? Friskies has a purrrfect new web series for you (pardon the pun). From crumbled paper to bottle caps cats find the most unusual things entertaining, almost everything. – leaving you to wonder, “what won’t this cat play with?”. Friskies new game show, “Will Kitty Play With It?” will answer this very question!

Friskies releases new episodes of “Will Kitty Play With It?” during February on the Friskies Facebook page. Each episode of the game show focuses on one specific item, hidden under a cardboard box, to be revealed to a curious cat. Once the box has been lifted, suspense builds as the item is revealed and described in detail before the big question, and moment of truth: “Will Kitty Play With It?”

Items featured for consideration include a red plastic cup, a toothpaste cap, a parking ticket, and more. Fans of the Friskies Facebook page may have opportunities to vote for items to be featured, and make predictions about whether or not the cat will play with the item during the show.

Fans also may have opportunities to request their very own home versions of the game – complete with cardboard reveal box, string and a few items to get started. Friskies wants to see the fun cats and owners create. Fans are encouraged to film the fun and post their home videos on the Friskies Facebook page to see if cats everywhere play with the same items as the cats on the game show – or not. Fans can tag their videos and comments with #willkittyplay and upload to Twitter @Friskies, or Friskies Facebook.

There are plenty of benefits your kids get from gardening. Besides being fun and educational, studies have also shown that kids who spend time participating in outdoor activities, like gardening, sleep better, show improvement in class, and have better eye sight. Getting your kids interested in gardening is not as hard as you might think. Here are a few tips to keep your kids having fun outside while gardening.

Let them be unique!
Letting your children pick the seeds or plants on their own lets them get to grow what they want and have something different from their siblings. When you go to the store, help your children pick out different seeds and plants that are easy to grow. Getting plants that are easy to grow will help encourage your children to develop their gardening skills and keep them interested since it is more likely that they will be able to see results. Some easy to grow flowers are sweet peas, sunflowers, and nasturtiums. There are even some fruits and vegetables, like potatoes, tomatoes, strawberries and radishes that are also easy to grow. To keep everything unique to each child, you can buy them their own gardening supplies. One mistake that parents make when buying their kids gardening tools is getting the plastic ones you would use at the beach. These simply won’t get the job done. Instead, you can get tools that are small enough for little hands, come in a variety of colors and will work for all of your kid’s gardening needs.

Setting up their garden space.
No matter if you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out; you need to pick out where you are going to set up your garden at. If you have a big enough back yard for a small garden, let your children pick a spot to claim as their own and then block it off. You can buy a little picket fence to block off each garden, or you can simply line the space with some string and some stakes. If you don’t have a lot of space, you can easily build your own garden box. Your children can then paint the outside of their box and then pick a place to put it. Another thing you can do is create different plant markers for each kid’s garden and plants. You can do this by painting rocks or even just writing on Popsicle sticks. Letting your kids help pick out their garden spot and fixing it up themselves is a fun activity that will get them excited to finally start their garden. View Post

Amidst the chorus of Auld Lang Syne, it hits you: how do I want this year to be different? The usual suspects roll through your mind: to tone up and lose that last 10 pounds, to slow down and just enjoy life a little more. But how can you accomplish them all? Make your New Year’s resolutions feasible by breaking them down into small bits. Here are four mini makeovers for your life to start 2013 off with a bang:

Create a Peaceful Space

You begin and end every day in your bedroom, so make sure the decor is helping you to slow down and relax instead of winding you up. Revamp your bedding for maximum comfort, adding a plush mattress topper, luxe sheets and pillows. Get new decorative pillow shams and find a duvet cover at Macy’s that complements your decor. Choose a duvet set in soothing colors for some ultimate relaxation.

Fine-Tune Eating Habits

Skip the drastic dieting and instead focus on making small steps toward improving your eating habits over the next year. To increase your chances for long-term success, it’s best to ease into resolutions to maximize willpower.

Social psychologist Heidi Grant Halverson recently noted to Huffington Post, “willpower is like a muscle that grows with use, so you’ll find that as you’re doing it, it gets easier and easier– it becomes a new habit.”

Create list of healthy eating goals for each month to help guide you through the year. Some goals may include: View Post

When it comes to creating a perfect gift for the fashionista in your life, DIYing them adds a unique and creative touch to the act of gifting. Nothings makes someone feel special than knowing that you took time and effort into creating a special present for them. But are you lost for ideas? Do not fret, the following are some of the best DIY projects you can make for the fashionistas in your lives.

Feather Accessories

Custom Made Feather Earrings Very Beautiful

Feathers are a wonderful addition to any fashionista’s jewelry, and feather flowers are beautiful and easy to create. All you need is a bobby pin with a glue pad, exotic feathers (pheasant or peacock are great choices), 2 penny-sized circles of suede or felt in a color of your choice, and a sturdy, clear drying glue. Simply place glue on the felt or suede piece and place the colorful feathers in a circular design until you have a full circle. Then glue in place the second suede or felt circle and allow to dry. Place the feather flower on the bobby pin’s glue pad and voila- feather flower that is bohemian chic. These feather flowers are also great as brooches- simple replace the bobby pin with a plain brooch backing for an accessory to wear with clothing.

Hats

Hats are also fun to make, using scrap pieces of yarn that you have lying around for a chic and fun appeal. Simply tie together all pieces of yarn you have, varying the colors and textures, and allow an inch of the tied ends to be exposed. As you knit the hats, the pieces of yarn tied together will stick out, creating a look of homemade whimsy, and the blend of textures and colors will create a fashion statement.

Handbags

Shierly's Buri

Handbags made with recycled bags create a green fashion statement that any fashionista will love. Simply shred into one inch thick pieces a variety of plastic bags, including bread bags, grocery bags, and even garbage bags, and tie them in a long strand to create a sturdy and adorable handbag knitted by hand. This unique bag is attractive and earth-friendly as well for anyone with an earth-conscious side.

Dye-ing!

Dyed shirts can be a creative gift for any fashion-loving diva as well, and the process doesn’t have to be hard. Simply take any material that is 100% cotton in any color that you choose (be sure it isn’t pre-washed or pre-shrunk) and tie it around any plain white t-shirt in the washer. Wash in a small extra hot cycle, and the colors will bleed together to create a beautiful shirt that is one-of-a-kind and incredibly easy to design.

Headbands

Headbands can be easily decorated to create a chic look that any fashionista will love. Beads and feathers create a whimsical style on any headband, and when glued to a one inch thick strip of suede or felt, are easy to make as well. Simply place clear drying glue on a strip of suede or felt, adhere feathers and beads to the strip in a design of your choosing, and allow the piece to dry. When dry, glue to one end of the headband for a head-turning look that is stunning without being overpowering.
