Turn Your Home into a Cozy, Cat Condo

Gracie on her Catty Stacks./Tracy E. Hopkins

I love cats. There, I said it. My cat, Gracie, is my baby. She has the run of our Brooklyn condo. She can do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. But luckily, she's a good girl and rarely gets into too much mischief (it was a different story when we first brought his precious tabby home).

Fellow cat lovers can check out an article I wrote for SheKnows.com that spotlights four cool cat ladies who transformed their homes to suit their frisky felines.

One of the proud cat mamas I interviewed, Kate Benjamin, is a cat style expert whose been featured in The New York Times. You can find inspiration on how to make your home a haven for you and your kitties on Kate's website, Hauspanther.

To the right, there's a shot of Gracie chillin' on her Catty Stacks, stackable modular cat boxes made from durable cardboard and recycled vegetable-based ink.

How would you make over your home to cater to your kitty?

Memorial Day Summer Swimsuits in the Amazon.com Swim Shop!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner. Do you have your new summer swimsuit yet? If not, Everything She Wants recommends checking out Amazon.com's Amazon Swim Shop . Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands. While I'm usually partial to the figure-flattering tankini, at a press preview for the Amazon Swim Shop, I noticed that the often unforgiving one-piece suit has made a compelling comeback. Thanks to a generous gift card from Amazon I took a chance and ordered a Calvin Klein one-piece in a pretty nude/coral "Sand" color, along with several bohemian tunics. Now here's your turn.
