Hi friends! 

We all have some pretty weird nicknames for our pets, don't we? I was just thinking about all the bizarre names I've come up with for my dog over the years, and I'm curious - how many do you have? I won't judge, I promise. In fact, I'll go first. My dog's name is Dexter, but I also call him dexterpop, squishy pond, frog face, beano, bean face, pinnie (short for min pin, which is short for miniature pinscher, it's so logical) and asshat (only if he's been super annoying). I'm sure there's a lot more, but that will do for now. Can you beat that?

The etiquette rules for modern society linked below have done the internet rounds, but I kind of still love them. Some interesting, some weird, some a definite no. But No 11. is likely to be spot on for the dog lovers…

An amusing 140 point article on how to text, tip, ghost, host, and generally exist in polite society today. Agree, disagree, but interesting points of view nevertheless!

Femeconomy

Whether you are a female consumer, business owner or a woman in the workforce, you can create gender equality by choosing female led businesses. 

Femeconomy certified businesses have at least 30% of women on the Board of Directors or are 50% female owned.

My Gear Vault

MyGearVault is a free app designed to help photographers and videographers keep track of what equipment they have and what it’s worth.

I use it to store the serial numbers of my equipment, pictures of my receipts, date purchased etc. Even if your item doesn’t have a serial number, you can still add it to your vault.
