a.k.a. Teddy Brewski. “Do you want to go for a walk?” should be a pretty straight forward question to most dogs. Right? Wrong. Not when you are dealing with a Havanese named, Teddy Brewski. I present you with……. wait for… Continue Reading
As some of you know, I have been volunteering for the Arizona Humane Society with their annual Compassion With Fashion 2020 Fundraiser. Sadly, the event had to be cancelled this year but in the spirit of celebration and to raise much needed funds for our furry friends, the Arizona Humane Society is holding the silent auction online and offering it to the general public! That means you and you, no matter what state you live in. You will be able to bid and support from the safety and comfort of your own home while giving back to this amazing organization… Continue Reading
Last week, during my self-imposed quarantine, it became clear to me that I need to write about the pandemic we are facing in the world because it is unlike anything we have ever seen. Some people have decided to rewrite history to make themselves feel better by destroying bits and pieces of what actually happened in the past, but this is going to be an honest and true documentation of what is happening for me, if not for anyone else. We may not be proud of things that have happened in the past, but they happened, and we need to… Continue Reading
Dear Spoiled Americans, This is for you! The Coronavirus is affecting every, single one of us. You are not the only one. Ok? So, let’s get that straight. Someone has it worse than you and you need to remember that. It is really easy to be a keyboard warrior while there are real people doing their JOBS going above and beyond to protect you, the ungrateful. They are risking their own lives daily so you can sit from the comfort of your own home, in your pajamas, eating cookies, with your family and complain that you are able to work… Continue Reading
The Snuggle Is Real! Puppies make me very happy but so does that fact that YOU voted for my puppy, Teddy Brewski to be in the 2020 Puppies Make Me Happy Calendar. He is Mr. December and his caption reads “The Snuggle is Real” and fits him to a tee. We have had a ruff 2019 but the fact that over 600 votes were counted from YOU (real people with a pulse) for the snarkiest Havanese, makes this New Year much sweeter. Teddy Brewski and I wish all of you a fabulous 2020. May this be the best year yet!… Continue Reading
You can’t reach your goals for the future if you have one foot still chained to the past!!!! No looking back. Follow me in moving forward with the RIGHT foot first into 2020! Wishing all of you a happy and healthy new year. To quote one of my followers on Instagram: @gregaltmeyer ” There is a reason why the windshield is large and the rear view mirror is small! Here’s to your best year yet!“ Lots of love always, Melany and Teddy Brewski a.k.a. Mr. December. You can’t reach your goals for the future if you have one foot still… Continue Reading
To all my family and friends who observe, wishing you a very happy and sweet Rosh Hashanah. During the commencement of the Jewish New Year let this first night begin a spiritual journey of introspection and repentance. Let us sit quietly for a moment away from our electronics and focus on ourselves. Spiritual healing and forgiveness must begin from within. From there we may then ask ….. To those I may have wronged…..I ask for forgiveness. To those I may have helped….I wish I had done more. To those I may have neglected to help….I ask for understanding. To those… Continue Reading
Nothing like deleting 7,500 of 44,572 photos for 2 hours from my phone to realize: 1. How many selfies it takes to get a sharable melfie. What a waste of time. 2. How many dumb asses I have dated. All of them…. but it’s a learning experience, right? 3. How many “emotional vampires” I have known, dumped and how many I still need to get rid of (Thanks Steph for the perfect term). Cleaning house feels so good. 4. How bad shopping is online and that nothing ever looks the same once you order and try it on at home…. Continue Reading
HOO HOO HOO Hello. Is this thing on? It has been a little while and I am squeezing in this post in the middle of the most chaotic 6 months of my life because I have to share. As most of you know, Teddy Brewski (my Havanese) and I live in Arizona. He is never without me on the other end of a leash outside. Who is walking whom, is debatable but that is beside the point. Anyway, there are so many wild animals in Phoenix and I have named them all in hopes that they will play nicely but… Continue Reading
#AllAmericanPetPhotoDay I had to share this adorable image of my pupper Teddy Brewski on this here blog because it is too cute! Plus, he is first team all American in my book every single day. Thank you to 12 News in Arizona for recognizing patriotic pups like mine and sharing this image on the @12NewsAZ social media channels. Follow him… Continue Reading
1. Don’t judge someone’s life by what you see online – it is just a sizzle real 2. Don’t DM me if you want a response in near future or ever. Text me. 3. If you disappear or I cut you out- don’t try to come back. I don’t do reunion tours 4. If you reach out to me, begin with common courtesy aka manners like… “how are you” before asking me for something and if I have to tell you this the answer is always “no” !!!! 5. Think before you speak, act or react. Please. Actually just THINK… Continue Reading
Happy Monday beautiful people. I am sitting down this sunny morning to tackle 2000 emails in my Inbox but wanted to take a moment to ask you for a minute of your time. I was invited to be a part of the brand new influencer #SephoraSquad for Sephora via Fohr.co and I need YOUR help!! I use products from Sephora every single day! From intense workout days without makeup to a night rocking out at a concert loud and proud with high hair and a lot of eye makeup! Remember, the higher the hair the closer your seats are to… Continue Reading
