LUCY LOVES: CAT’S BEST CAT LITTER

I wouldn’t usually be this boring about products, but being a relatively new recipient of a second cat that can’t go out yet litter trays and what goes in them have become something of an obsession. Otherwise, my house frankly smells revolting. This Cat’s Love organic litter made from 100% pure organic fibres (of what?) was recommended by my local pet shop. Everything the cats do in there properly clumps and it’s easy to remove with very little smell. I’m impressed.

My friend declared that she has been told by a dermatologist that we should forget about all the expensive stuff and simply use Vaseline. Around our lips and eyes. Every night….

It was lucky that I clarified that because I thought she meant just smear it on your entire face and then apply your foundation – which would no doubt give an overly shiny, “why is everybody ignoring me?” sort of look.
