A Bathrobe for Your Dog
Why leave your dog freezing to death after a bath when you can wrap him up with the most luxurious designer bath robes. They add warmth to your pet, look fabulous and only make your dog more worthy of being snuggled.
Why a Bath Robe over a Towel
Both bath robes and towels can be used before and after bathing. However, if you want something that’s more convenient, especially for a dog, you’d definitely go for the latter. First, pooches are known to run around after every bath; thus, towels tend to fall off easily. When this happens, don’t be surprised to see your floors all wet and messy. Second, a bath robe allows your dogs to dry up completely. You have, after all, a choice to leave it for a longer time, until the robe absorbs all moisture from your dog’s coat.
How to Choose a Dog Bath Robe
Picking the right kind of bath robe for your dog is essential. You want to give him something that’s comfortable, easy to wear and clean, and stylish:
1. Measure the size of your dogs. Dog bath robes can come in different sizes; however, sizes tend to differ depending on the designer. Hence, what could be small for designer A may be medium for designer B. Just to be sure, measure the dog’s size and compare it to the size chart you can usually find in the store or website. Normally online shopping sites also have a measuring guide, so it’s quite simple for you to follow.
2. Choose the material you want for the robe. A bath robe for your pooch may be made of fleece, terry cloth, silk, cotton, or satin. You can also match the material based on the season or the climate of your location. If you’re living in warmer climates, terry cloth is the most ideal choice, along with silk. This is because the fabrics are thinner and allows air to pass through. When the weather gets cooler and during winter, you can change the bath robe to something that is made of fleece or flannel. The fabrics are a lot thicker, allowing your dog to gain warmth and get rid of chills and coldness right away. Cotton, on the other hand, is perfect since it can absorb water quickly.
3. Make sure the fabrics are of great quality. Softer fabrics get easily broken or worn out, especially when the dog loves to move around. You may want to stick with average- to high-priced fabrics that will last.
4. Check the inside and outside of the robe. As much as possible, you want your dog to feel comfortable with the robe. Thus, make sure it feels good on their skin. If you find them itching or scratching, then it’s a sign that you may need to change his bathrobe right away before he starts to get irritated.
5. Go for those with straps or ties. Ties or straps will allow you to secure the bath robe to your dog. Hence, no matter what movements he does, it wouldn’t be removed.
The next time you’re shopping for dog apparel, don’t forget to include a bath robe for your pooch. There are many quality online stores offering a comprehensive range of dog clothing, including bath time accessories.

A bit of pampering every once in a while will help you feel more balanced in your life and ready to nurture those around you. And creating your own mini home spa is simple and affordable. Once you set it up, it will be a cinch to recreate as often as you like.
Whether it is a daily, weekly, or monthly indulgence, here are six steps to creating your own luxurious at home spa:
1. The first thing you will need to do is clear out the toys or any other tub clutter. If there are lots of items in your tub, just get a plastic washtub or even a cardboard box and place them there temporarily, outside the bathroom. Make sure your tub is nice and clean, too, so you can relax during your spa treatment (instead of feeling like you should be scrubbing grout instead.)
2. Set yourself up with a pile of big, fluffy towels and a couple of washcloths. You will want at least one extra large towel for your body and another towel for your hair. If your towels are looking a bit shabby, invest in a few new ones. There is nothing like a good, luxurious towel for your home spa experience. Wash and dry your towels with your favorite brand and scent of fabric softener so they smell heavenly.
3. If you do not already have one, invest in a plush bathrobe and nice slippers. This is a one time expense that will make you feel pampered each time you treat yourself to your at home spa.
4. Decide on a theme (relaxing or energizing, for example), then set the mood with music and lighting. Choose a tranquil or energizing CD, depending on the mood you wish to create. Light several aromatherapy candles in a scent such as lavender (for relaxation) or citrus (for rejuvenation.) When you set the right mood, you will intensify the effects of your other spa treatments.
5. Get your spa treatments ready. Whether you prefer to create your own products from kitchen ingredients that you have on hand or to purchase a few samples from the drug store, put them in an attractive basket or bag for easy access each time you create your at home spa.
Again, you will want to make a theme with your selections. If you want to relax, for example, try lavender oil in your bath, with a rich, soothing and moisturizing mud mask. To energize, try peppermint oil in your bath with a cucumber mask.
6. Put aside at least 20 or 30 minutes to fully enjoy your luxurious home spa. Fill the bath with hot water and turn on the shower for additional steam. Then place a few teaspoons of Espom salts along with a few drops of your favorite essential oil.
Turn off the overhead lights, light the candles and turn on the music. Wash your face with a warm face cloth and apply your facial mask. Then take off your robe and slip into your hot bath. While your facial mask is working, start with your exfoliating scrub or pumice and let yourself relax while you pay attention to all of the spa sensations. Sink into the experience and pay attention to what you smell, feel, and hear.
When the time for your home spa has come to an end, rinse off the facial mask and dry off with your luxurious towels. Then take time to moisturize from head to toe.
Conclude your experience by wrapping yourself in your soft robe and enjoying a cup of your favorite relaxing or invigorating herbal tea, selected to compliment your homemade spa experience. Choose peppermint or citrus tea, for example, to end a relaxing home spa or select jasmine or chamomile tea for a relaxing home spa.
Creating a home spa is so simple and affordable that you will have no excuse not to indulge at least once a week.

Aegean Apparel Incorporated, established in 1991, is a heavy hitter in the wholesale sleepwear industry. Focused on producing quality products out of their family owned factories in Denizli, Turkey, this company has kept a keen eye on doing things the right way, not the cheap way. That might be why it has grown from a tiny textile shop to a multi million dollar bathrobe and sleepwear powerhouse in the nearly 20 years since conception. Its client range spans from close out stores like T.K. Maxx and Marshalls to the epitome of department store couture, like Nordstrom, Sak’s 5th Avenue, and Neiman Marcus.
It’s no question that the backlash of a poor economy can crush any business, and this had been proven true for a lot of Aegean’s competitors. “Everyone is feeling the aftershock” said Mehmet Panayirci, President and Founder of the company. “We knew that the best way to pull through this was to get in touch with our customer and their needs.”
It was that idea alone that birthed GreenApple Production Studios. By merging Aegean Apparel’s signature line of bathrobes, pajamas, shower wraps, and beach and bath towels with their sister line of quirky and original printed tee shirts and totes under the name RNP Tees, Aegean Apparel Inc. has a established a tight grip on today’s recession. Though many of Aegean’s styles can retail anywhere from $59.99 to $129.99, this website provides about 100 of their best selling pieces for a price point of between $39.99 and $89.99.

With the back-to-school season soon to be behind us, one question will be left on the lips of those doing a little holiday foreshadowing. What should I put on my holiday shopping list? Whether it’s a meaningful, heart felt Christmas gift or a rather nonchalant way of saying happy holidays, choosing the perfect present can be a lot to handle.
That first commercial for the newest toy/power tool/luxury car/diamond tennis bracelet often strikes a kind of fear equated to the shot heard ‘round the world. All of the time you’ll spend at the crowded mall, waiting in lines, watching your wallet run dry, and wondering if your gift is going to portray your feelings the right way is to blame for those famous holiday blues. But what if there was a better way?

From there, major department stores, catalogs, online shops, specialty boutiques, monogram stores, hotels, and spas reacted with great enthusiasm and helped us skyrocket to the top and become a household name. Then, in mid 2008, the first inklings of the current recession began to hit. As a company, we knew that our product was valuable and could make a real difference in the day to day lives of normal, hardworking men, women, and children. But what could we do to reach out to them directly? That’s how GreenApple Production Studios, or GAPS Retail, came about.

Baby’s day out is fun from A to Z, regardless of what the baby does. All the time the child may be enjoying himself and his activities will also be a treat for parents to observe.
Why let this fun end when bathing the child? With some application of mind, you could make baby bathing an interesting activity for the child, and hence for yourself as well. All you need on hand are a few baby-bathing products, bath toys, and robes that are not only baby skin friendly, but also handy bathroom accessories any mom would love to stock her bathroom with.
Baby Bath Products and Accessories
Baby bathing products or accessories are numerous, but there is one item that is most essential – the baby bath towel or baby bath robe. A baby bath towel or robe must be soft on the child’s skin. If the child shows some discomfort while you use it on him, assume your child has not taken a kind view towards the new accessory and it is paining or irritating his skin. Also, the bath robes or towels must be sufficiently large so that it can easily and fully wrap around the baby. If the bathrobe has interesting pictures of animals and birds, it may help your child to remain inside the robe for at least some time. Usually the soft cotton hooded towel sets cater to children right from their newborn days to 12-24 months, depending on the child’s size. Such towel sets also make great baby gift items. It is quite possible to find all of these items on the net from sites such as SpiffyBaby.com where imagination is your boundary.
Baby Skin Care
The same theory of baby skin friendly concept applies to baby soaps, lotions, oils, and toys. While purchasing baby soaps and baby lotions ensure that they are sensitive enough for baby’s skin and do not contain any potential skin irritants. In that sense, if you see artificial or synthetic ingredients in baby skin products, you may want to avoid them. These products can cause terrible skin irritations.
The major task of baby’s bath time, however, remains to be baby’s entertainment in the bath tub. The baby most likely won’t like anyone to disturb his playful mood by pouring water over him in the confines of a bath tub. This is where bath toys play a crucial role, in ensuring that the playful atmosphere indeed carries over to the baby bathroom, giving the little ones full company all throughout the bathing ritual. Bath duckies, rubber animals and shapes, baby bath seats, bubble bath buddies (for kids of certain age), even the bath water thermometer, are some good bath time toys that could give your child good company in the bathroom. These items usually make decent baby shower presents, as well as being relatively low-cost items.
Above all, the most important thing for a child during bath time is the interaction with his caregivers, and the presence of an adult for safety at all times.
SpiffyBaby.com is a luxurious online children’s store specializing in upscale baby gifts and stylish toys, European designer children clothing and shower presents. Offering beautiful selection of elegant baby jewelry, baby nursery bedding and natural skin care products.
