5 Ways to Heat Up Your Pup!

Sometimes Zoe and Luca get the shivers and that’s when I run to the rescue with a dog sweater or a dog coat. Sure, they may be shivering because they see me with these items in hand, but I like to pretend they’ve got the chills.  Here are some of the cutest dog chill preventers (or inducers) around.

Flat Out Insane

One of my biggest pet peeves is purchasing an item only to find a much cheaper version a few days or weeks later.  Seriously, it eats me up, drives me to the brink of shopper breakdown. This is how I became the bargain hunter that I am today.  Before you go flat out insane from similar circumstances, check these flats out….

Beauty is only $3.00 deep in your wallet

Ok, so I am a drug store troller in addition to a bargain hunter and crazy dog mom. I admit it, you can find me lurking in makeup aisles of the area drug stores on any given day. Some of you may hit up a movie or pick up a good read to get your kicks… not me. Give me a Walgreens or CVS makeup aisle… and you will see what true happiness looks like.

Recently, I have found some gems in my quests. These babies will turn your frown upside down, I tell ya. Each one of these items is like $3.00  max and badass. Cheap thrills…gotta love ’em.

Hump Day Happy Hour: 3 Steps to Cocktail Heaven

I’m usually a beer girl, but every now and then I like to dive into a fruity and delicious cocktail. One problemo folks… fruity cocktails have about, and I’m roughly estimating here, a zillion calories. I’ve come up with a solution… and get ready because this is going to blow you away the first time you try it.

der-drink crack water

Step one: Order yourself a vodka and one of the following: soda, tonic, or water. ( I prefer soda because I’m a fizzy drink type of gal)

Step two: Have already smuggled in a Crystal Light  sugar free single serving drink mix packet in your purse. (Here at Tipsy Society these are called crack water packets.. well, because they are addictive, highly addictive)

Step three: Mix ordered drink with crack water packet and consume with complete and utter glee.
