I can certainly attest to this I have two lovely fur babies – Bichon Frise puppies both females, a mother and daughter. Bella (left) the mother had 6 puppies and Cindy (Right) was the pick of the litter …. the one with the most spunk who jumped out of the pen first! Who could resit these two beautiful puppies, so gentle in nature, well trained, do not bark unless you knock hard on the front door! Use the bell and there is no problem. Do not shed fur, they have wool, not fur. They make you go for regular walks, love unconditionally and require lots of cuddles… which is extremely calming to you. By the way, I strongly recommend you have two pets they are great company for each other – our two are always cuddled up together – check out below for more added benefits. 12 Ways Your Pet Can Improve Your Mental Health If you are feeling down and weary, and can barely lift yourself off the couch, your dog will always come to your rescue. They will cuddle with you, then motivate you to get up, dressed, and out the door for a walk or some play time. It turns out that all pets, not just therapy pets, can help your mind, body, and spirit. Here are a dozen reasons why: 1. They get you outside: Sun and fresh air elevate your mood and the sun gives you an extra dose of vitamin D. Vitamin D exposure helps fight physical and mental conditions, including depression, cancer, obesity, and heart attacks. Also, when you go outside with your pet, you are engaging with nature.

They get you moving: Walking your dog and engaging in outdoors activities like tossing a Frisbee gives you a natural energy boost, and allows you to let off steam. It also makes you more physically fit, strengthening your muscles and bones, which helps not only your body, but also your self-esteem. Studies...

Welcome To The Wonderful World of Colour You probably know that colour is the first thing we meet someone for the first time. But did you realise that we also make virtually instant judgments about a person’s status from the colours they are wearing. For instance, in medieval times, the lower classes weren’t allowed to wear the colours of the upper classes, or they were fined, sometimes up to a half year’s wages! The lower class had to wear the colours of the earth – brown and green tones, that came from dyeing cloth with things that were immediately to hand and were cheap – grass, soil even dung! The most expensive dyes were brand-new colours at the time, particularly purple and red. These colours were kept for royalty and the bigwigs in the church. Just at one glance and everyone will know instantly they are in the presence of massively powerful individual. This instant recognition of status still happens today – every single one of us makes judgments about other people based on what they’re wearing – how they present themselves. What We Wear and Why – Is Totally Fascinating Have you ever wondered why Colour is so important? Image a world without colour – colour impacts our personal and business lives – colour enriches our lives -Why? Colour is light reflected, without light there will be no colour. Colour communicates subconsciously. Do we sometimes take this powerful tool for granted? Colour is a powerful tool; it is in our food, clothing and environment and is used constantly in advertising.

How you present yourself is a very important part of who you are. Your first impression is vital to you and how you communicate with others.
