Looking for a new Facial Cleanser this New Year! Micrite 3D All Use Cleanser Cream by SwissVita is a must! I like it because it cleans my face really well without over-drying my skin. It also leaves my skin feeling fresher and more hydrated. It removes makeup easily and doesn’t have a strong unpleasant scent. I like that it washes off easily and only a small amount is needed at a time so it will last awhile. Retails for $29.99.

Rescue dog, Lucky, a.k.a. Turf Mutt, is encouraging students in grades K-5 to submit essays on how they are helping TurfMutt (www.turfmutt.com) and his band of superheroes, the Outdoor Powers, combat the environmental villains (Carbon Creep, Dust Demon, Dr. Runoff and Heat Freak) for the annual “Be a Backyard Superhero” contest.

TurfMutt teaches students and teachers how to take care of the environment and “save the planet, one yard at a time,” through classroom materials developed with Scholastic.

Since 2010, the TurfMutt program has awarded $35,000 to schools nationwide and this year, a teacher at the winning student’s school will also be awarded a trip to the 2017 NSTA conference.

Created by the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute’s (OPEI) Research and Education Foundation, the TurfMutt environmental education and stewardship program has touched more than 62 million children, educators and families since 2009. TurfMutt program materials are free and aligned to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) standards.

Entries are due January 23, 2017, and contest entry deadlines and rules are available at www.TurfMutt.com.

Are you looking for a high-quality diaper bag?  The  CiPU Diaper Bag is stylish, roomy and great for travels with your baby. I like that it is a good size and fits all the necessities and is perfect for weekend travels. I received one in a blue color (see the photo above) and I just love it! I do not have a little one so I gave this as a gift to a friend who has a one-year-old. She also loves it and she happily replaced her prior diaper bag. This diaper bag would also make a wonderful gift!

You can purchase on Amazon.com.

KZ is Pet of the Week!

KZ, a 6-year-old basset hound/pit bull mix, was dropped off by his owner at our shelter because he has a small mass on the neck. It doesn’t seem to affect the rest of him in any way, particularly his cuteness! He’s a little shy at first, but once he gets the idea that you love him for who he is, he’s ready to play! Meet KZ on the shelter side of the Companion Animal Village at 7700 East Spring St., (562) 570-PETS. Ask for ID#A583242.
