Ferret goes to the vet!

As already mentioned before, our ferret girl Maya seemed very weak lately since she stopped eating, which made us worry a lot. I immediately contacted a vet to get some advice and since the cause of her bad mood are hormones, we got an appointment for an injections to bring her hormones back to normal.
So, this morning I prepared Maya for a bit of bus travel and we went to see the vet.
I've ordered a pet carrier some days ago but it only arrived this afternoon, so it was a bit late and we couldn't use it. Instead I've attached her to her leash and wrapped her up in her blanket to keep her warm since the weather today was crazy and it was snowing overnight. The strong winds are back and it is freezing outside.
We got on every bus without any problems, even though Maya was not in a carrier. She was very excited and wanted to smell and see everything on the bus, but I tried to keep her wrapped up in the blanket, what she liked and didn't complain about. She looked like a burrito and it was just too cute. After an hour of travel on two buses, we arrived at the vet centre, where I had to fill in a form and Maya was just so hyper that I couldn't hold her any more. The doctor picked us up after some minutes and checked Maya. It turns out that she is completely healthy and very active, which is a good sign. Then the vet took her to a different room and gave her the Jill jab/ injection. I was happy that I didn't need to see this, because hearing her squeaking was enough for me. They quickly returned and Maya wouldn't sit still and it was just a nightmare to hold her and put her back on the leash, but eventually we managed to. After that the vet was explaining some more and then we left. Outside the vet centre I let her run around a bit before we went to the next bus. On the bus she only wanted to explore and I let her run around on the seat next to the window and she put her front paws on the window and watched the outside as the bus was driving. After some time we had to get off and get another bus and Maya was patiently waiting in the blanket, since it was very windy and ice cold. On the bus she actually fell asleep on my lap all wrapped up and it was just so cute that I didn't even want to get off. But we still did and I put her back into her cage at home and went to college.
Once I came back she was asleep and I quickly woke her up to feed her a bit.
Now she is very active and runs around the room so she seems to be happy and better than before.

I am glad we acted quick and got everything sorted already because I will be more calm about the whole situation now.

Hope this was useful to some people and that you won't be too angry about another ferret post. ;)

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water | Review

Image
Today I finally decided to write a short review about the Garnier Micellar water, that many girls consider as a dupe of the Bioderma cleanser. I've been using this product for about a month or so now and I think it is about time to let you know what I, personally think about it. What information is given about the product: *good for sensitive skin * hypoallergenic * no perfume * removes make-up, cleanses, soothes * 200 uses 1) As you can see, I've used nearly half of the bottle and it says that it lasts for 200 uses. I've probably not even used it 40 times yet and it doesn't really look as if I could use it for 160 more uses. Of course, I know that this number is just an average number, but still, I think that it could be used for about 100 times, more than 200 to be honest. If I use it, then I use two small cotton pads, so I also don't use too much of the cleanser itself. It is strong, because one cotton pad takes off the make up of half of my face,

Christmas Wishlist In October?!

Image
When I was a child I used to write my wishlists for Christmas already in October. I have no idea why, but I thought it was a good thing to write down all my dream gifts as early as possible, as by Christmas I'd already forget all of them and I would remember them again when it was already too late. So, I still like to write down what I'd like to buy myself, what I'd like to put money aside for, or what I'd like to get for Christmas or my Birthday. I totally hate it when people ask me what I'd like to get and I just can't think of anything, even though there are always some small things I dream of.. Well, today I thought I could share five ideas for Christmas, that would make me extremely happy if I got them (or bought myself). 1) I would like to have a new bag for College. I have one at the moment, the GABS one, but it is too colourful to wear it with every outfit, which totally annoys me. But this is my only big bag, and I need a big one because I nee

Ziaja Body Lotion Review

Image
Hi again! A few weeks ago I already posted a photo on my Instagram ( which is here ), where I showed the 4 Ziaja body lotions I got to try and when I saw their generous packaging my first thought was: When will I use these all? But I was very happy about that because I got to find out which one is my favourite and which one I like using more on certain days etc. Thanks to the big choice I can also stay away from buying even more body lotions, which is great! ( I'm so into body lotions, it's crazy) The 3 bottles are 400ml each and they are from the Cocoa butter , Goat's milk and Natural Olive range.  The Coconut lotion comes in a 200ml packaging, so it's good for taking it on holidays or on a sleepover etc.  To give you an idea of these products I will quickly talk you through them. Let's start with the Olive range: It moisturises your skin thoroughly and leaves it silky soft and smooth. What is also great about it, is that it can even be use
