DOG’S LIFE:

Dolce & Gabbana has introduced a new fragrance mist – for dogs.‘Fefé’ “blends fresh and delicate notes of Ylang Ylang, Musk, and Sandalwood”, resulting in a “tender and embracing fragrance crafted for a playful beauty routine.” Dog owners can preorder the fragrance mist for just over US$100. If that sounds like a lot, keep in mind that it comes in “a sleek green lacquered glass bottle, adorned with a vibrant red metal cap and a precious 24-carat gold-plated paw”

A poll of 2,000 dog owners found that 39% credit their dog with improving their emotional health, while over 25% report enhancements in their mental and physical health. Dog owners said the secret lies in their uncanny ability to comfort us when we’re down (69%), stand by us through stressful times (60%), and even lend an ear when we need to vent (45%). 81% reported increased activity levels as a result of being a puppy parent, and 49% admitted that their furry friend is often the sole reason they get any exercise at all.

CLEVER USES FOR AIRTAGS:

By now, everyone knows that AirTags are pretty handy for tracking down your luggage when it is misplaced by the airline, but here are some other practical uses that you may not have thought of.

→ Key & Wallet Tracking: If you’ve ever had to replace these things, you’ll agree that slipping an AirTag in your wallet or attaching one to a key ring could save you’re a world of inconvenience.

→ Pet Tracking: It’s pretty easy to fit one on a pet collar – and you can also buy pet collars that specifically fit AirTags. Not just to help find a missing pet, but it might also be fun to find out where your cat takes off to every day!

→ Bike & Scooter Security: Face it: These things are thief-magnets. Slip on an AirTag for valuable peace of mind.

→ Remote Control Finder: Not just the remote that always goes missing, how about that game controller, headphones, or any other device? Just tape an AirTag to it.

→ Child Safety: Depending on your child’s age, an AirTag might be a good way to keep track of them, by sewing one into a coat or attaching it to a book bag.

→ Senior Safety: If Grandpa refuse to carry a phone, maybe ask if he’d be OK with carrying around an AirTag on a keychain.

→ Workplace Tool & Equipment Tracker: Often, toolboxes go (ahem!) “missing” from job sites. Throw an AirTag in your toolbox or attach one to important equipment.
