3P Naturals: Natural Chicken Necks

It can seem a little strange giving your cat frozen raw pieces of chicken carcass, but it's well worth it. Raw meaty bones are perfect for keeping a cat's teeth clean as well as entertaining them, not to mention how good it is for your kitty to be crunching the raw bones and getting them in their digestive system.
My cat, Meera, got a wing tip to try a month or two after I adopted her, and she didn't seem to know what to do with it. I figured she wasn't sure how to chew it. Fast forward about a year and I noticed she kept trying to chew on hard things, as well as picking up discarded chicken bones whenever possible and running off with them. So I decided it was time to try the bones again.
I got the frozen chicken necks (which were surprisingly easy to separate in the bag even while frozen) and I set one down, still frozen, for Meera. She left it for a little while and then went back to it still half-frozen, and started going to town on it. Since then I've bought a bag of wingtips too, and she loves these treats.
Some notes: If you get these, be present while your cat eats them. Also be prepared for the cat to eat it halfway and then leave a lump of bone and meat sitting there on the floor for a while before they come back to finish it.

Stumptown Cold Brew Coffee with Milk (Chocolate)

I picked this up on a whim because I'd never seen cold coffee chocolate milk before, and I had a long workday ahead of me so I figured I'd need the pick-me-up. I was faintly worried because I'm mildly lactose intolerant, but for the appealing idea of the drink, I decided to take the risk.
The milk carton packaging suited the beverage better than a bottle would, because the milk base is predominant in the texture and flavour. There was a nice soft bitterness from the coffee that didn't linger, due to the cold brew process, and instead served to underline the richness of the chocolate. Just like putting a touch of coffee into a chocolate dessert heightens the cocoa taste, the same holds true for this coffee-chocolate drink.
I wouldn't really call it a mocha, because that's a stronger coffee profile than the chocolate milk. Due to the richness and milkiness, it's not refreshing exactly, but it's good for if you want some energy and also something elementally familiar and comforting.

OGX Quenching Coconut Curls Conditioner

I have hair that alternates among straight, frizzy, and curly; my preference is curly, because it's forgiving of my slapdash hairstyles that change on a whim. I do tend to need a heavier conditioner, and as a West Indian woman I gravitate towards coconut-scented products, which made OGX Quenching Coconut Curls a natural choice for me.
Straight out of the bottle it smells like coconut but even more like the citrus oils the ingredients boast. More surprising is the odd texture; it's almost gooey and elastic and stretches between your fingers if you rub your hands together. It also tends to drip down onto your face more than a standard conditioner.
But the results are very good! The scent mellows more into a coconutty aroma, and you have to be diligent about washing it out fully. On occasion I don't rinse my hairline of conditioner as scrupulously as the rest, since my frizzies are in the front, but with OGX Quenching I find I need to rinse it out completely or my hair looks greasy. Used properly, the conditioner lets my hair air-dry soft and bouncy, even if its curl-activating properties are unpredictable.
