My new bengal cat!

So on the 8th of October 2014 I finally bought a Bengal cat. I've always been a fan of cats and I love leopard print so I decided it's the perfect cat for me. I also didn't want a cat that was too wild like the Savannah F1 or a Serval and the Bengal cat seemed more domestic.

I got her at the age of 9 weeks because the seller was nice enough to do it as a favour since we lived so far away. You'd normally buy a cat around 12 weeks when they're considered old enough to leave home. 

This was my baby's first picture as we took her in her comfy travel bed. I decided to call her Amira because I was told it means princess in Arabic. 

                                                       

When we got home after a long drive I took Amira's picture again as she's sleeping with the red blanket that belonged to her mum. 

On her first day, when I came back from work out of the shower and turned my hair dryer on she got scared and hid under my desk in a corner. It was so adorable I took this picture just in time.

I love how as soon as she got settled in she started following me around the house and taking short naps around the house loving the fact I'm caressing her.

I found that playing her relaxing music (such as Chinese) calms her down and allows her to unwind. This was when she first came on her second day settling in. 

On her second week, she got used to my scent so much she started jumping and sitting on my bed. She even slept with me for two nights and felt comfortable.

 She even likes pouncing as it's a natural habit cats like to do. 

 I love staring at her as she curls up into a ball in a deep sleep.  

Blanx White shock formula toothpaste

For the last two weeks I've been trying to make my teeth look whiter so I decided to use this toothpaste called Blanx white shock. This kit came with the toothpaste plus an LED light that makes your teeth whiter. 

The toothpaste is a tube that I would say lasts over two weeks maybe three. I'm almost at the end of the third week and there's still some toothpaste left in the tube so that's quite impressive!

This is how the LED light looks like. I find it fits nicely into the mouth and is comfortable to wear but please note it helps to time how long you've left it in your mouth because the instructions recommend you leave it a minimum of a minute. 

I found the blanXometer a little bit confusing to use because even when I looked in the mirror I couldn't compare my tooth shade properly.

On the side of the box there's a special tear line that you use to open the box and take the blanXometer out. Be careful when opening though in case you rip the inside up. 

I had so much faith in this product that I decided to buy a full sized tube. 

To my dismay, this toothpaste did nothing even though I followed the instructions brushing twice a day using the LED light after each brush. After two weeks of persistent use it did nothing and I lost hope. If anything I'd say it made my teeth more yellow! 

At least I've learned that if in doubt don't buy more otherwise it may cause disappointment. 

Next I'm hoping to try the boots whitening strips at some point to see whether it really works and of course the home made remedy of baking soda. 

If you know any good whitening toothpastes let me know in the comments below and I'll be sure to test those out too. I might do a video review of this toothpaste so keep an eye on my youtube channel here for more.

See you on the flip side

I'm back

Ok so I know I've had a two month break since my last post but bear with me guys, I haven't abandoned you! 

I had a recent breakdown with the computer and the next thing I knew I couldn't edit any videos let alone post them which was a shame. I did however manage to save up and buy a MacBook which I for one never realised could happen due to my horrid spending habits. 

This inspired me to make a budget series so people can learn what they can and can't go without which is really useful in times of crisis. I can't say I'm the best at saving up but I am trying. In an attempt to put away my pennies I decided to dedicate some of my time to watching a show called super scrimpers which I'm not sure is available outside the UK but for those who do live here this is worth a watch. Some ideas are so simple you wouldn't have even thought of it! 

Before anything else I'll be starting off with budget nail art designs you could do at home without any fancy equipment. This will be great to know especially for people who want to start doing nail art but haven't yet bought any equipment. 

I'll be back soon with another video. Hang on tight.
