Healing After Pet Loss: Navigating Your Grief

By
Losing a pet is a uniquely painful experience. For many of us without children, our pets aren't just animals; they're our family. They're our confidants, our daily companions, and a source of unconditional love. So when they're gone, the silence they leave behind is deafening. I recently lost my guinea pig, Cinnamon, after almost five years together. The worst part was that I had to sit there and watch her die, completely helpless. There wasn't a single vet in a 100-mile radius who would see her. The feeling of watching a beloved friend suffer and not being able to do a single thing about it is something that will stick with me for a long time. R.I.P. Cinnamon! ðŸ’” This kind of loss brings a complicated type of grief. It's not just sadness; it's layered with guilt, anger, and a profound sense of failure, even when there was nothing you could have done. The world keeps moving, but your little world has stopped. People, often with good intentions, might say t...

This Shea Butter Body Cream by CNAAN Doubles as a Hair Mask!

By

Note: This was resurrected from Tumblr thanks to Google cache and was originally posted on August 2, 2016.

A couple days ago, I did a review on CNAAN’s Shea Butter & Aloe Vera Hand Cream. This is a body cream by the same company that is pretty similar to the hand cream. It has a super thick consistency (almost like cream cheese), smooth texture, natural ingredients, and a strong scent. Additionally, it doubles as a hair mask, which is pretty cool and makes it an even smart buy (if you ask me).

Shea Body Butter Enriched with Coconut Oil and Organic Shea Butter

The only downside to this is the strong powdery and lavender scent that it has (and lingers for some time after applying). It’s stronger than the hand cream and bothers my sensitive nose if I use too much at one time. So, I have to use it sparingly.

Besides the strong scent, I have no complaints. This does a great job of moisturizing and nourishing my ashy skin and dry feet. Plus, it leaves me feeling soft and smooth - no greasy. A little goes a long way, which is great since the jar is on the small side (just under 4 ounces).

Shea Body Butter Enriched with Coconut Oil and Organic Shea Butter
"Introducing CNAAN SHEA BUTTER, which provides you with a 24-hour moisturization and helps to soften, tone, and smoothen your skin. CNAAN Shea Body butter melts at body temperature and absorbs directly into the skin, thus preventing dryness. Care for your skin with this tropical body butter body blended from organic Shea nut, Cocoa beans, Olives, and mixed natural oils rich in Vitamins A, D & F, which are rich in antioxidant Vitamins A and E to soften and protect your skin. 
It also provides a natural UV shield, thus assuring you an all-round protection. The natural latex in the CNAAN SHEA BUTTER helps prevent allergies, stimulates cell rejuvenation and circulation, and hydrates the skin, leaving it with a silken texture. It may be used to help prevent stretch marks during pregnancy and help in reducing wrinkles."
If you’re looking for a rich, decadent body cream with a girly, perfume-like scent, this is a great choice. If you’re looking for a thick hair mask or even a hair moisturizing for your thick and/or dry hair, this works for that, as well. Shea butter is great for many things, so you’ve got a lot of options with this.

My personal preference is to use this as a body cream because I feel it might be too much (scent-wise) for my hair (too close to my nose). However, I may try a little dab one day! ðŸ˜Š

200+ Must-Have Mods for The Sims 2 (Ultimate List)

The Sims 2, while a classic, can feel a bit dated compared to newer games. However, with the right mods and custom content (CC), you can breathe new life into your game and make it even more enjoyable. I've compiled a list of must-have mods and a few CC items, many of which I personally use and love. They add so much variety and personality, and many even fix pesky bugs. So, let's get modding! © A Little Bit Of Me Important Notes:  Some of the graphics and UI enhancement mods are not needed for the 2025 Sims 2 Legacy Collection since this version  is already optimized for modern hardware as detailed here . Clean UI and Starship UI (mentioned below)  already include multiple UI improvements ( e.g., custom loading screens, widescreen CAS, and improved family tree ), so you won't need to install additional mods for those things. The TS2 Starter Pack ( a completely free version of The Sims 2 available on Github )  already comes with numerous graphics and UI optim...

50 Exciting Mods to Enhance Your Sims 3 Experience

Remember the good old days of The Sims 3? That game was a total game-changer when it hit the scene back in 2009 — and it's still one of my favorite games of all time! It took everything we loved about The Sims 2 and cranked it up to eleven. Let's take a quick trip down memory lane and see why The Sims 3 still holds a special place in our hearts, even with The Sims 4 out there. The Sims 3: Why It's Still Awesome Picture this: You're controlling your Sim at home, and suddenly you decide you want to visit the park across town. In The Sims 2, you'd have to sit through a long loading screen. But in The Sims 3? Bam! You just walk or ride right over. No waiting, no fuss. That open-world concept was mind-blowing at the time, and honestly, it's still pretty cool today ( yes, I still play occassionally ). The Sims 3 also lets us get super creative with our Sims' looks. Remember spending hours tweaking every little detail of your Sim's face? And don't even get...
