Officially a big boy now!

charlie vet 1 year

































That's right, I'm officially a big boy! I went last week for my 1 year checkup at Crater Road Vet Hospital, and Dr. Kinney (whom we all love) said I was fantastic!

Then again, we all knew that right?! Just kidding! Dr. Kinney is awesome!

Before she came in, I just hung out and relaxed! I always make myself at home no matter where I am!

They were really busy as always! My mom and Dad are super excited to have found such a wonderful place for my primary care! All of the ladies in there are fabulous and they really do love me!

Mom and Dad just couldn't believe how fast I've grown up! 19.5 pounds! Just right! Thanks to the walks with Grandpa and fetch with Dad every night!

I love my life and my parents so much. I'm always playing, smiling, and having fun! Here's to lots more healthy checkups!

My biggest seller without a doubt is this lovely lavender oatmeal!

Orange you lovely!

Orange Blossom - The Daily Scrub (30)

WOW! I am so excited about the latest batch of Orange Blossom!

Orange Blossom - The Daily Scrub (25)

































So pretty and colorful!

Orange Blossom - The Daily Scrub (20)

In the Orange Blossom, I use activated charcoal! It is a natural colorant and the type I use is made from bamboo wood (a renewable resource). Some say it helps to remove impurities. If you like my orange blossom, it's likely because of the activated charcoal I use. I think it adds a little extra something to the bar besides just being pretty!

Orange Blossom - The Daily Scrub (12)

































What do you think?

Orange Blossom - The Daily Scrub (5)

Of course the poppy seeds are included for exfoliation. Have you noticed that I just love poppy seeds?

Orange Blossom - The Daily Scrub (3)
