3 Things You Do That Your Dog Hates

There are a few seemingly good things most dog owners do that dogs don’t like. Sometimes we love our pets so much that we don’t control our emotions and actions. You may think that your puppy loves your hugs, but he may actually hate them. We all have bad habits and we believe that our pets love us for who we are and they accept even the most annoying habits we have. But why not make their lives easier? Here are three good things you do that your dog hates.
1. When you pet your dog’s face. Whether you pat your puppy’s head or pet his face, are you sure that he likes it? In fact, most dogs, as well as most animals, hate being patted on the head. It can be painful and annoying, especially if strangers do it. If your dog pulls his head back and lean away when you are trying to pat his head or pet his face, it’s a sure sign your dog doesn’t like it. If you have kids, you should teach them to gently pet your dog’s back, and avoid touching his face and patting his head. Your puppy will definitely thank you!

Cyber Monday and Online Shopping Season

When it comes to Christmas shopping, there’s very little appeal in battling crowds on the high street and spending half the weekend queuing in a shopping centre. Therefore, it may come as no surprise that online shopping enjoys an annual boom over the festive period. So much so that specially-created events off the back of such buying habits have now become tradition, such as Cyber Monday. Online holiday shopping continues to grow in popularity. According to American Express, for the first time, more people are expected to shop online on Cyber Monday than visit brick and mortar stores on Black Friday.

Secret Santa Gift Ideas

While Thanksgiving and Christmas might be all about food and merriment, gifts play an undeniably important role during the holidays. Finding an appropriate secret Santa Christmas present for colleagues and friends can be pretty damn difficult.
In fact, if we had the choice, we'd rather debut on Takeshi's Castle than go out and track down a gift. It's THAT hard. So what do you buy? Or should we say, what shouldn't you buy...Firstly there are the totally inappropriate 'joke' presents, which are just terrible and should be avoided at all costs - unless, of course, you know the recipient extremely well. Even then, it's pretty risqué. Anything with boobs or a penis on should be discarded immediately. Don't even pick it up off the shelf, unless you want your boss to look like this. There are also the completely useless secret Santa gifts that nobody really wants. A colourful knitted 'tea cosy' to keep your toilet roll covered being one of them. Or a sparkly custom hat. What you do want, however, are useful items that people won't feel compelled to throw away. Anything from stationery to homeware, or if in doubt - chocolate!
What's the worst secret santa gift you've ever received?

Wondering how to fit it all into your schedule? Here's a solution. Custom items at Snapmade.com, where you’ll find a collection of unique and affordable gifts for everyone on your list.
Last weekend, I started to think of gift ideas for my Grandma’s birthday. I wanted to give her something that she could use on a daily basis while also being personal and customizable to her.She loves drinking coffee and anything to do with flowers, so I decided to make her a custom coffee mug with colorful flower designs. I thought about going to a pottery shop where you can go and paint a mug, but after looking at their prices of $30 for a mug, it was a bit too expensive for my budget. With that, I decided to look at my favorite custom products website. After seeing several custom products while scrolling through Snapmade, I saw an idea for a custom photo mug. Immediately I thought this would make the perfect birthday present because it looked fairly fun and cheap to make. Mugs are suitable for everyone no matter men, women, or kids. If you have a coffee mugs design by yourself, it would be more meaningful. Besides, you can design a personalized sports bottles for your boyfriend or girlfriend as a birthday gift. There are different kinds of custom travel mugs for your choice. They are all 100% high quality, and rush delivery! Creating your own custom mugs is easy now. So, whether you are looking for a gift idea or feel like doing a cheap and easy custom project, recommend making photo mugs and spicing up those boring white mugs by adding some color and personalization.

Holiday shopping season is here

The holidays are approaching, bringing with them that annual lineup of family gatherings, goodies and gift-giving – and one other thing: the age-old problem of “How do you shop for a person who already has it all?” Gift giving can be stressful.

Signs Your Kids Are Ready for a Pet

Pets play a vital role in a family’s life, but it’s important to know when to bring an animal into your home. Introducing a pet into your home’s environment before you’re ready can cause complications for both your family and the new pet. Take a look at the following nine signs to ensure your children are ready for a pet.
Your children are comfortable around animals. Don’t get a pet to cure your children’s fear of animals. A fearful child could easily make mistakes that result in injury and deep-seated fear of animals. Instead of bringing a pet into such environment, take your child to a friend’s home or an animal shelter to get familiar with animals. Don’t force the child to pet or touch the animal while you’re there; give him room to observe the animals and let your example be the guide on how to interact with pets. Consider getting a pet only after your child feels comfortable around animals.
Your Child Shows Respect for Animals. Kids must respect the guidelines for appropriate behavior around animals. For example, they must understand pets should not be tugged or hit. They must be touched gently and left alone while eating. Just because a child wants to interact with a pet doesn't mean it's an appropriate time to do so, and kids need to have the self-control to leave the animal alone.
Your Children Want a Pet That Is the Best Fit for the Whole Family. Children need to understand not every pet will be right for your family. Pelar says every animal needs enrichment, but some need more than others, so consider which pets fit the time and space you have available. Birds require the most time investment, followed by dogs, then cats.
You're Prepared to Take on the Responsibility. Lastly, if your family is going to get a pet, the adults in the house need to assume responsibility for the animal. Pelar says the appropriate way to think about it is that you are getting a family pet in whose care the children can participate, rather than expecting your children will be the main caretakers. Even if your child shows every sign of readiness, if you're not ready, then it's not the right time.
There are many benefits to having pets. They provide companionship, lessons in responsibility, emotional well-being and countless other perks. However, pet ownership is only a good thing when your family is ready for it. If you're considering bringing an animal into your family, let our experts' advice guide your decision, so your introduction to pet ownership will be the best it can be.For your pets:custom pet tags, custom pet bowls.

Celebrate Christmas with Your Parents

Nothing beats a traditional family Christmas spent unwrapping gifts, playing parlour games and sitting around the table for lunch. Whether you have been living away from home for a few months or several years, your parents will be overjoyed at the prospect of having you home for Christmas. One of the hardest parts of being a parent is watching your kids fly the nest as they get older, so reuniting on special occasions is a wonderful way to spend quality time together. I know that I will always remain a little child for my mom and dad, regardless of how old I actually am. And whenever I visit my parent’s home, they always treat me like I’m still their little daughter. Sometimes every adult needs to feel like a child again. So why not celebrate this Christmas at home and make your parents happy?

6 Ways to Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

Think you're leading a healthy lifestyle? Aside from occasionally veering off the path, most of us think we do a fair job of maintaining our health with good (or at least OK) eating habits and physical activity whenever we manage to fit it in. But is that enough to be considered "healthy?" Being healthy should be part of your overall lifestyle, not just a New Year's resolution.

What Should We Look for When Buying a Bib?

When buying a bib, the most important consideration is safety. Bibs with tie closures are an old standby, but after hearing all the dangers associated with hoods that tie, many parents avoid ties on any article of clothing. Some bibs also come with plastic backing, which can smother babies or small children if they are left unattended. This style provides good protection for clothing because food and liquid is absorbed into the fabric on the front, but kept away from clothing by the plastic backing. However, it is somewhat more difficult to clean.

Why Do Men’s and Women’s Clothes Have the Buttons on the Opposite Sides?

The most widely touted theory by far is that the practice of reversing buttons on men’s and women’s clothing stems back to the time of elaborate dress of gentlemen and ladies when upper-class women, particularly during the Victorian era, wore so many layers that it was necessary for them to be dressed by a servant or maid.Men’s clothes were left with the button on the right, as has been common throughout the history of buttoning, because most men tended to dress themselves.

The Develop Story of Hats

Some while ago, a century or so, there was a time when only beggars went bareheaded.But up until World War II and the period just after, a gentleman was not considered properly dressed without a hat.Then the hat went the way of the dodo.The real blame probably belongs to automobiles, though. Hats were knocked off when you entered a car and inevitably got squashed beneath a passenger’s wayward behind or went into orbit when you lowered the top to a convertible.

As A New Pet Owner,Have You Ever Made These Mistakes

The squirmy puppy in the cardboard box was so adorable. The fluffy kitten on display at the pet store touched you with her paw. The docile bunny rabbit seemed like such a nice Easter surprise.Many of us mere mortals fall in love with animals on the spot and impulsively take them home with us. That’s not always the wisest move to make, though, especially in economic times like these. It’s all too easy for inexperienced pet owners to step on financial land mines before they know what hit them.Even in flush times, hasty decisions about animals can prove to be hard on the humans and the animals involved. To avoid unnecessary heartache and steer clear of some of the most common mistakes new pet owners make, consider these tips.We also provide tons of ideas of custom dog tag for your pet.I hope these all help you.
1.A tiny dog’s bite can be bigger than its bark. It’s easy to think that those adorable toy breeds can’t cause much trouble. But all dogs need to be trained not to chew, dig, bark — and yes, bite. “Don’t skip training class just because you think Tiny is too small, cute or sweet to do any damage,” Thornton advised.
2.Carefully dog- and cat-proof your home. Wires, remote controls, shoes, poisonous plants and easy-to-chew-and-swallow items such as socks and gloves can all pose serious threats to your pet. “Get down on your hands and knees ... to see what’s down at that level that might look chewable or fun to drag around,” Thornton said.
3.Just say no if money is tight. If you’re even a little bit unsure about whether you’ll be able to afford a pet over the next few years, then this may not be the best time to bring a pet home. Far too many people are losing their jobs and even their homes these days — including plenty of people who never imagined that anything like this could ever happen to them. Having to make accommodations for a pet during a difficult time can make the whole experience that much more stressful.
4.Take steps to avoid having a scaredy-cat (or dog). Socialize your pet through exposure to lots of different people, experiences and sounds before he or she turns 4 months old. “By that time, a puppy should have met 100 different people,” Thornton said. “Puppies and kittens that don’t get lots of early handling and socialization are likely to be shy and fearful for the rest of their lives.”
5.Start training early. Don’t wait until your dog is 6 months old to take him to training class. You can begin teaching him to sit, come, stay and walk on a leash when you bring him home at 7 or 8 weeks of age, and he can start puppy kindergarten by 9 or 10 weeks.

Keys To Love Yourself

When we speak of love, we think of others and what they mean to us; we think of those we love.Love is all about giving and receiving and if you can give enough care, attention and sympathy to yourself, most probably you can give it to others as well. You must have heard the old truth that we cannot love others if we cannot love ourselves. Love flourishes when we give it to other people, but love always starts with ‘me’. We are the only ones responsible for our life, choices and deeds so we just have no right to be neglectful of ourselves. However, I’ve never thought about why it’s so important to love yourself even though I completely agree with the statement. The reasons stated below show that loving yourself is really essential.
1.When you love yourself, you look better
It’s really simple. You can concentrate on your strong points instead of bothering about your weaknesses and imperfections. Everybody has imperfections but most people don’t care about them. For example, I’m short and will never change it. Moreover, I hate high heels, can you imagine it? I’ve been obsessed with this problem for years and I couldn’t see that I have a nice body, beautiful eyes and kind heart. But when I accepted that imperfection about myself I became even more beautiful.
2.When you love who you are, you accept who you are
I know perfectly well all my positive and negative sides and I accept them. It doesn’t mean I’m satisfied with all my traits. Loving yourself doesn’t mean that you should stop improving yourself. It just helps you realize that you are the only one, with your unique traits, qualities and potentialities. It gives a great sense of confidence. When you accept who you are, you feel no need to counterfeit someone or compare yourself to others. And this is the most powerful and inspiring feeling ever.
3.If you love yourself, you are more likely to have a better family life
When you love yourself, you know what you deserve. In this sense I’d like to follow my mom’s example. My parents still have a very tender and warm relationship, even though they’ve been married for more than 25 years. I’ve never noticed the slightest sign of contempt or lack of respect between them. I know perfectly well that my mom wouldn’t stand such a treatment. When you love yourself you will never be ill-treated. And this is very important for a healthy family life.
Self-love can make you a better person. It improves your physical, psychological and emotional state. Give it a try and you’ll see that you attract more good people and circumstances into your life. Do you agree with my list of reasons why it’s so important to love yourself? Take the first step now,custom a necklace for yourself at Snapmade.com and share your thoughts, please.

The Loving Bowl,Feed Your Pet With Love!

To witness our four-legged friend struggle to eat comfortably can be heartbreaking for a pet owner. Our flat-faced pets often have the most trouble during mealtime. Animals with very short heads are called brachycephalic. Due to this condition the main problems associated with this breed are linked to breathing and eating. The Loving Bowl has officially launched and was specifically designed with Brachycephalic Breeds in mind.

The Loving Bowl was designed over-sized with a simple sloped modification into the bowl. Flat-faced breeds instinctively use the sides of the bowl to help with grasping the morsels of food. The Loving Bowl with its over-sized feeding area provides an always- exposed slope or ridge that pets will quickly instinctively learn to use also. Older pets also find the many merits of this simple modification. It is like giving our pets a Knife and Fork!Brachycephalic breeds will no longer have to chase their food around the dish. Grinding their face into the bottom of the bowl is a thing of the past! No more food embedded in the wrinkles of their face and far less mess and waste to clean up.Our flat-faced pets make adorable and loving companions, but they often struggle daily with health and breathing complications. Eating should be an enjoying and satisfying experience for them, not a challenge. The Loving Bowl will provide our furry friends with the necessary tools they need to eat their meals comfortably.

The Loving Bowl makes a great water bowl too. The slope of the interior provides more water with less effort. This is a huge advancement for older pets with jaw issues. This veterinary approved bowl is a beneficial and life changing product for Brachycephalic Breeds around the globe. The launch of The Loving Bowl will allow pet parents to feed their pets with the love they deserve!Custom a pet bowl for your best friends at Snapmade.com will be a good choice.

Ways To Dress Thinner,Never Look Fat Again

Do you know how to explain why some days you look your thinnest and other days, not so much? The question that every woman I know asks herself before she walks out of the house is not "Do I look chic?" or even "Do I look good?" but rather "Do I look fat?"Making strategic clothing choices for your specific body issues is the secret to dressing Fit Not Fat! Of course, you can (and should) diet and exercise, but neither of those are going to get you looking 10 pounds thinner, 10 years younger and 10 times sexier by tonight.

Trim Your Top Half
Live in V-necks -- camis, tees, cardigans, anything and everything. The downward diamond shape elongates you. Just be sure to stop short of major cleavage; it looks tacky at any size.Wear a minimizer bra. Seek out styles that dip low in front to go with your V-necks. (If you've never been professionally fitted, do it ASAP at your local department store.)To cover less-than-toned arms, pick three-quarter-length sleeves. Check that the body of the shirt or sweater is tapered -- you don't want an allover blousy effect.
Manage Your Middle
Buy a pair of high-waisted, supercontrolling shaper shorts, such as Spanx Hide and Sleek Hi-Rise panty.Go for jackets with feminine details to draw the eye upward. The best silhouette is fitted at the shoulders and bust and hits at the top of the hip.Opt for monochromatic dresses. Styles like a simple sheath or an A-line with no natural break in the center can whittle your waist.To slim your tummy, Charla suggests a one-two punch: compression and diversion.
Downsize Hips and Thighs
Make over this region with Charla's below-the-belt fashion regimen.Choose skirt styles that flatter, such as straight, pencil, and trumpet. Get extra "slim" points for finding fabrics with a Lycra blend that offer some support.Look for wide- or straight-leg trousers and jeans with built-in panels to smooth bulges. Avoid pleats, pockets, and buckles whenever possible -- they're fattening!
Hope these tips will be helpful and make you look slimmer instantly.If you want to find some t-shirts for your casual outfit,please welcom to Snapmade.com to customize your own t-shirts.

The amounts of caffeine plays a role in your DNA

Most of us drink coffee every day.But how much coffee do you drink every day? One cup in the morning? Or do you gulp it all day? Scientists have long known that your DNA influences how much java you consume. Now a huge study has identified some genes that may play a role.Their apparent effect is quite small. But variations in such genes may modify coffee's effect on a person's health, and so genetic research may help scientists explore that.
Marilyn Cornelis of the Harvard School of Public Health led the research.The project analyzed the results of about two dozen previous studies with a combined total of more than 120,000 participants. Those participants had described how much coffee they drink a day, and allowed their DNA to be scanned. The new work looked for minute differences in their DNA that were associated with drinking more or less coffee.Researchers found eight such variants, two of which had already been linked to coffee consumption.Four of the six new variants implicate genes that are involved with caffeine, either in how the body breaks it down or in its stimulating effects, the researchers said in a paper released Tuesday by the journal Molecular Psychiatry.The two other newly implicated genes were a surprise because there's no clear biological link to coffee or caffeine, Cornelis said. They are instead involved with cholesterol levels and blood sugar.Marian Neuhouser, a nutrition researcher at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle and study co-author, said identifying genes related to consumption may one day help doctors identify patients who need extra help in cutting down on coffee if recommended.
A good example, pregnant women are advised to consume only moderate amounts of caffeine because of risk of miscarriage and preterm birth, she said.None of the identified genetic variants was related to how intensely a person tastes coffee, and Cornelis said that surprised her.She doesn't drink coffee, she said, because she can't stand the stuff.If you are gonna custom a specific coffee mug for free coffee in the office,Please visit:Snapmade.com.

4 Scenarios Where You Will Need A Reverse Phone Lookup

We will have a few scenarios that dont't know how to deal with an incoming call from a number you don’t recognize, a tiny war breaks out in your mind: Do I answer, or let it go to voicemail? On one hand, you’re curious. What if it’s an old friend from high school who wants to catch up? On the other hand, what if it’s your annoying cousin, or some telemarketer? Fortunately, you can do a reverse phone lookup and instantly uncover the identity of an unknown caller.Here are just some scenarios where having this tool at your fingertips would come in handy.
1) When you get a hang up call at 3:00 in the morning What kind of sociopath wakes someone up in the middle of the night?! Unless you’re a night owl, hearing your phone ring at such an ungodly hour is more than a little unsettling. It can be so nerve-racking that you may even have a hard time getting back to sleep.Want a quick and easy way to alleviate your fears? Do a reverse phone search on the number, and if you don’t recognize the name that comes back, you can also order a full background check on the person with just one extra click. If some crazy sex offender was calling me in the middle of the night, that’s something I’d want to know. .
2)Right after you just broke up with someone You’ve just cut yourself free from someone who was uber-clingy. Awesome! The person has tried to call you a few times, but you know better than to answer (thanks caller ID). But, now you’re getting random calls at all hours of the night from numbers you don’t recognize. Is your ex calling you from a friend’s cell to trick you into answering the phone? If you run a search on the number and see that the call is coming from your ex’s roommate’s cell phone, then you’ll know not to answer. It may sound stalker-ish but people do desperate things when they’re heartbroken. Look it up before calling back.
3) When you get a text from a random number that says, “WHERE YOU AT?!?!” Hmmm. Is this a friend whose number you didn’t save who wants to party, or a weird stranger that literally wants to know your physical location? Perhaps this is an honest mistake, but it could be something more sinister. A reverse phone lookup is a great way to dig deeper.
4) When you want to background check someone, but you don’t know their last name You exchanged numbers with someone you met at a bar, (don’t worry we’ve all done it at least once) but now you’re not sure if you ever want see that person in the light of day.

National Coffee Day:What you need to know about your morning brew

National Coffee Day:What you need to know about your morning brew

Monday is National Coffee Day and there are a number of freebies with 1.7 billion cups of coffee consumed worldwide daily, there's no debating the need to celebrate. But how much do you really know about your morning brew? We've rounded up some favorite facts.
Let's start from what's in coffee covered.You may be surprised to find that a cup of coffee is 98% water. Or that the intoxicating coffee bean aroma comes from a cockroach pheromone -- coffee contains 2-Ethylphenol, which cockroaches use to warn one another of danger. Mix that with Acetylmethylcarbinol (also found in butter) and the sweet and earthy scent of Trigonelline, and you've got pure magic. Coffee also contains 3,5 Dicaffeoylquinic acid, which protects your brain from free radical damage.
Do you know how coffee goes from a bean to what you sip from your favorite mug? BizBrain.org released a handy graphic showing how coffee starts as beans planted in large beds in shaded nurseries, in an area known as the "bean belt" just above and below the equator. Countries in the bean belt include Cuba, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Guatemala, Mexico and more.When a coffee tree grows, its fruit is called cherries. When the cherries are deep red in color, they are ready to be harvested. A machine picks the cherries off the tree, then they are either dry or wet processed using the sun or a fermentation tank. Machines remove the parchment layer of the husk, then the beans are polished, sorted and shipped.Before the beans reach your favorite store, a "cupper" evaluates the beans by sight, smell and taste. Roasting turns the green beans into the deep brown color we're familiar with. And here in the U.S., we're excited about our coffee.

What awesome features of iPhone 6 camera you know?

What awesome features of iPhone 6 camera you know?

After years of eschewing larger screen sizes, These days,Apple has finally submitted to peer pressure and released two significantly larger iPhones,iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone 6 may be the more petite of the two, but it’s still significantly bigger than the 4-inch iPhone 5S.It’s pretty much standard that every phone release will debut significant camera updates. But identifying the ways that the iPhone 6 camera betters the 5S takes a little digging. There have been volumes written about the larger 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch screens, but lots of people are also clammoring over the extra crisp camera. Despite touting the same resolution as the 5S, the iPhone 6 has some notable improvements. Here are nine awesome features included in the iPhone 6 camera.
The big update is the iPhone 6’s Consistently faster autofocusing technology, a.k.a “Focus Pixels.” Faster and more consistent than past iterations, the camera will decrease the likelihood of taking a blurry shot, thanks to the phase-detection autofocus system. Reportedly, the 6 will focus twice as fast than the 5S. That means you won’t have to wait long after tapping the screen to focus the camera (or just let it handle focus on its own).The 6’s iSight rear camera has the ability to record Full HD 1080 video at 60 frames per second (fps). Considering that the 5S sports a similar camera – albeit at 30 fps – the 6 produces a slightly sharper picture.Ever wanted to take a sequence of selfies in one second from the front camera? Now you can. Burst mode – that camera feature that snaps 10 photos per second – has been built into the iPhone 6’s front camera. The phone can even analyze photos from your burst session and show you the “best” ones, a.k.a. display the clearest shots and the ones where everybody’s eyes are open.Better slow-motion shotsThe 5S introduced the ability to record slow-motion video. And the iPhone 6 gives several small updates. With the 6, you’ll be able to record slow-mo video at 120 or 240 fps. That’s a bit more flexible than the the slow-mo option on the 5S, which only allows for recording 120 fps. Though, be aware, slow motion video is a pretty easy way to create massive file sizes.With the release of iOS 8, all iPhones (including the 6’s) will get the ability to record time-lapse videos. The feature doesn’t allow for much in the way of granular controls, but it will automatically take photos in increments and then assemble them into a time-lapse sequence. This is significant, as time-lapse photography was a complex task to pull off in the past.
The release of iOS 8 has opened the gates for third-party developers to take advantage of some of the granular controls within the iPhone camera. Some apps are already available in the App Store.If you wanna get your iPhone 6 a special and protective casecustomize a iPhone 6 case by yourself at Snapmade.com.
