My brother got a hamster for his birthday about a month ago and, seeing as it’s just about the only house pet I’m not allergic too, I’ve quite enjoyed it. The dog has also been enjoying following it around when it’s running around in its ball. That’s quite funny actually. I don’t have any pictures of the hamster with the dog. I should really get some sometime, but I do have a few of the hamster.

It enjoys crawling all over people (or atleast me)!

It’s amazing what it can climb up. (Well my back isn’t that exciting, but it can also climb up the backs of the chairs and couches.

And it doesn’t really like getting its picture taken.

On another note (if you haven’t noticed), I’ve switched over to my domain name (lisa-s.ca) and changed my layout. I don’t know if anyone links me, but if you do you might want to update your links.

If you’re wondering why I haven’t posted in awhile, it’s because I’ve been busy and haven’t really had anything to post about. That’s not what this post is about though.

Last month, Feelin’ Feminine has been putting out a monthly e-magazine/newsletter called Challenging Femininity. I’ve really enjoyed reading it the past couple of months. Some articles of note from the past two months include:

• Featured Femina: Miss Paulina – I really like this interview, particularly because I can relate to the struggles the young lady interviewed, Miss Paulina, and it let me know I’m not alone in my struggles.
• The Hair! Hair! Hair!: The Twist & Ponytail Wrap – How-to’s for different hairstyles – that would actually work in my hair… Needless to say, I really like this column.
• From the Mailbox: Hair Donations? – Miss Jocelyn pretty much sums up my views on hair donation: If your hair will still be long after the cut, and you want to donate your hair, go ahead and cut it!
• In Proper Perspective: Fathers and Daughters – How important is the father-daughter relationship? This article explains that it should be no more important than the mother-daughter one and should not have so much stress placed on it. I don’t agree with everything in the article (particularly the part about children departing from the path always being the parents fault), but on this I do agree.
• What is Feminine? Culottes? – I personally think they are ugly, but did you know they are actually undergarments? Interesting article.
• Outside Looking In: Walking Alone – Miss Paulina shares some of the struggles of living with parents who do not agree with your beliefs and gives some advice for coping.
• The Beauty of Coconut – Miss Rachel shares some of the ways virgin coconut oil is used by her and her family members. Feelin’ Feminine is also giving away a jar of VCO.
• To Edify… Or Not: April Showers – It’s Seasonal – This article talks about seasons in life and throughout the year. Feelin’ Feminine is giving away a black and white portrait from The Tinker’s Pencil at the bottom of this post.

There’s a large variety of information in these e-magazines. I really suggest you check them out!
