Introducing ... Razor Read II

Before there were any thoughts of a baby ... we decided to share our lives, hearts and home with our very own fur baby ... Razor Read II.

Razor at 5 weeks old 

Razor is only 9 months old but he has been with us since he was around 8 or 9 weeks old.  He is a Lachon puppy which is a cross between a Lhasa Apso and Bichon Frise to you and me.

Words cannot describe how much we adore this little one.  He is super friendly, mischievous, cheeky and smart, he is an absolute joy.

Razor was named so, in a bit of a tongue and cheek way as he is pretty fluffy and cute but it was also an old nickname of my husband, Garrath which is where Razor Read II comes in to it.  We thought it would be fun to resurrect it for our pup who is far from being anything fierce or razor like but somehow the name seems to suit him so well.

Before Razor, I wasn't much of a dog person but now I would offer my home to ALL the dogs (if only my husband wasn't allergic to most breeds!).  Even passing a dog in the street, I just want to stop and pet them.  I really do need to get a grip.

Razor even has his own dedicated instagram page and Facebook page.  It's ok, I can hear y'all judging me.  I was prepared for that.

We only hope that he and the baby become the best of friends once he/she arrives.  I am currently reading up on the best way of introducing a pet to your new baby as I don't want Razor to feel jealous or left out but equally he will need to learn his limitations.  So, if any of you are dog owners or other pet owners and have had to introduce your pet to babies/children, please pass on any tips you may have!

Razor is a big boy now! 

LOVE

Before I start, I just want to say thank you to everyone who left a comment on my recent Ombre hair post. I can't tell you how lovely it was to return from my weekend away to see such positive comments so thank you all! :)

Following on from the ombre hair post then, I have already started thinking about another change for my hair. I quite like the lighter ends and wonder whether I could go so light all over, strawberry blonde if you will.

Then to add fuel to the fire I had a look at the recent cover shots for LOVE magazines September issue and noticed this gorgeous image of Rosie Huntington Whiteley.

There are 2 things I love about Rosie - her boyfriend Jason Statham, and the underwear she models for Victoria's Secret. I had never given her much noticed other than that until this picture.

Rose looks like the ultimate Hollywood Siren in this photo. Her hair is the exact shade I had imagined I would like mine so now I am picturing myself in winged liner, beaute masochist on the lips, leopard print and hollywood strawberry blonde waves. Do I dare?

I think I will have to ponder on this one a bit longer.

My hair debate aside, LOVE magazine have issued 8 different covers photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for their September issue to promote beauty diversity. From pin up to rebel, bombshell to sweetheart, it's a taste of the many different faces, age, moods and perception behind the beauty.

Other covergirls featured on the September issue are Kelly Brook, Gisele Bundchen, Agyness Deyn, Lauren Hutton and Sienna Miller and Alessandra Ambrosio. Sienna's is a must see, you won't believe it is her at first!

So what do you think about my possible transition from ombre to strawberry blonde?

And, who is your favourite LOVE cover girl?
