Momentum Carnivore Nutrition sent me cat treats for review. All opinions are my own. These days, I only have a cat, but I used to have two dogs. One thing all three of the pets I've owned have in common is that they absolutely LOVE single-ingredient freeze-dried treats.

I recently received the Le Serey Sequin Shimmer bracelet. This bracelet is gorgeous! I've been wanting more gold-filled pieces that I can wear every day without worrying about them, and this one has been a great addition. Read more [...]
