Save Oliver James Giveaway!!!

By
Sweet N Sour Deals has put together a giveaway in honor of Oliver James, a rescued Golden Retreiver Puppy.
Oliver James was rescued before he was even born by Laura Kody.
At 8 weeks old Oliver suddenly lost his ability to walk, and Laura began taking him to vets to find a cure. They saw 9 vets and spent thousands of dollars on testing, but no one knew what his condition was or could give them much hope for his survival. Finally, They saw a specialist and he was diagnosed with Hypertrophic Osteo-dystrophy.
Over the past year she has tried every treatment available for him and watched him go through recurirng bouts of joint swelling, lameness, and pain so terrible that he couldnt bear to be touched.
A few months ago he started screaming when she touched his mouth, and at that time the vet diagnosed him with his second condition, Craniomandibular Osteopathy.
Over the next few weeks his jaw went through similar bouts of swelling, pain, infection, and calcification that his legs had felt before. Finally his jaw closed shut permanently. He has been unable to eat, drink, pant, chew, or even lick his lips ever since. Laura bottle feeds him 6-10 times a day to keep his weight up, but despite her many efforts he weighs only a very scary 15.4 pounds. To put that in perspective, his littermates all weigh around 60. His toenails have begun to fall out from malnourishment.
You can read Oliver's Full Story HERE
Laura also posts daily updates on the Help Save Oliver James Facebook page HERE

    I just donated to another cause (a sweet 22 year old lady with stage 4 ovarian cancer) a while ago, otherwise, you would have gotten a donation! Praying for the little puppy, poor thing ! :( I am not a pet owner due to have kids with allergies but I still love pets ! I wish I could have them cause so many need homes and caring owners such as them!! Bless you!

Life has been anything but normal lately, in fact it's been nothing short of hectic! I went back to work in the service industry, my daughter turned 2 years old (help me), I got an amazing new job (big girl panties are on now!), turned 30 years old, my grandfather (the man who raised me and who is my best friend) was diagnosed with Cancer, we almost lost one of our dogs to a deadly infection (I'll explain that later), and my fiance' and I are finally going to take the plunge and get married! Holy crap, reading all that back just made me tired! Anyway, I really wanted to get back into blogging before my one year blogiversary, so to jump start this I thought we'd celebrate all the good that has happened lately.

Herbal Essence Naked Volume Collection

By
**I received this item for the purpose of a review. I was in no way compensated for my opinion as they are my own. Your opinion may vary from mine.** Herbal Essence has a new collection out called the Naked Collection Volume. Obviously I was intrigued by this because naked to me means no crazy chemicals and my hair loves products like those. I used to have very thick and healthy hair but it has thinned out dramatically since I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease over 5 years ago. Nowadays, my hair is very picky about the products I use. I wouldn't say it's damaged, it actually looks and feels pretty healthy, but it goes flat and becomes greasy quick because of how thin it is. Because of the autoimmune disease I have, I like to watch what kind of chemicals my body comes in contact with. Anything is mess up the balance in a compromised immune system. Needless to say, I was excited to learn more about the Naked Volume Collection by Herbal Essence.  The naked Naked
