  • Unlocking Travel Ease: The Benefits of Using a Cat-Tastic Luggage Identifier

    In the hustle and bustle of travel, amidst crowded airports and bustling train stations, it's easy for luggage to get lost in the shuffle. But fear not, there's a simple solution that can alleviate this stress: the luggage identifier. At Comfort Diva, we take extra care to make sure our luggage tags are not only beautiful, but also a conversation piece. Let's get into the numerous benefits of using this underrated travel accessory. Easy Identification: The primary benefit of a luggage identifier is right in its name. By attaching a distinctive identifier to your luggage, especially one of ours, you instantly make your bag stand out in a sea of similar-looking suitcases. This makes it easier for you to spot your luggage on the conveyor belt, or in a crowded baggage claim area. That saves you precious time and hassle. Prevents Loss or Theft: A conspicuous luggage identifier not only helps you identify your bag quickly, but also serves as a deterrent to potential thieves. Thieves are less likely to target a bag that stands out from the rest, as it draws attention to their illicit activities. Additionally, in case your luggage does go missing, the identifier makes it easy for airport staff or fellow travelers to recognize and report it, increasing the chances of recovery. Personalization: Our luggage identifiers allow you to personalize the reverse side by writing your info with a Sharpie pen, or with the use of a label maker, or by letting us print it with your information on the back. It becomes a reflection of your personality, too. Our tags range from bright colored to more demure to irreverent, funny sayings. They are sure to be a conversation starter. Conversation Starter: Want to meet someone new on your travel journey? A unique, fun luggage tag is a great opener to pique the interest of your fellow traveler. You may find yourself swapping cell phone photos of your furry friend with your newfound friend. Peace of Mind: Travel can be stressful. Knowing that your luggage is easily identifiable provides peace of mind. You can relax knowing that you're less likely to lose track of your belongings or encounter the inconvenience of a mix-up at baggage claim. Then you can focus on the fun and not the fear. Environmental Friendliness: In an era where sustainability is increasingly important, using a luggage tag, particularly one that's durable, reduces the waste of disposable tags. This helps to minimize your environmental footprint while traveling. The benefits of a luggage identifier go far beyond mere convenience. From easy identification and theft prevention to allowing your personality to shine through, this small accessory packs a big punch. Safe travels with plenty of catitude!

  • Pawsitive Vibes: The Mood-Boosting Benefits of Cats

    In a world filled with stress and chaos, finding moments of tranquility and joy can feel like a luxury. Fortunately, for cat lovers, those moments can be found right at home, curled up with their feline companions. Cats not only offer unconditional love and companionship but also provide a myriad of mood-boosting benefits that can significantly improve our well-being. 1. Stress Reduction: The gentle purring of a cat has a soothing effect on the human nervous system. Studies have shown that the act of petting a cat can lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress, and reduce blood pressure. Spending time with a cat at the end of a long day can help melt away tension and promote relaxation. 2. Companionship: Cats are not just pets; they are beloved members of the family. Their presence provides a sense of companionship and alleviates feelings of loneliness. Whether lounging beside you on the couch or playfully batting at a toy, cats offer unwavering support and affection, making even the toughest days feel a little brighter. 3. Mood Elevation: It's hard to stay down when you have a playful kitten or a contented cat rubbing against your leg. Interacting with cats triggers the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine, which can lift your mood and increase feelings of happiness. Their playful antics and affectionate nature bring joy and laughter into our lives. 4. Routine and Responsibility: Caring for a cat can provide structure and purpose to our daily lives. Having a routine, such as feeding, grooming, and playing with our feline friends, can help us feel more organized and in control. Additionally, taking care of another living being fosters a sense of responsibility and fulfillment, boosting our self-esteem and overall sense of well-being. 5. Mindfulness and Presence: Cats are masters of living in the moment, and they remind us to do the same. Watching a cat explore its surroundings with curiosity and grace encourages us to slow down, be present, and appreciate the simple joys of life. Spending time with a cat can be a form of mindfulness practice, helping us to reduce anxiety and find peace in the present moment. 6. Unconditional Love: Perhaps the most significant benefit of all is the unconditional love that cats offer. They accept us just as we are, without judgment or expectation. Coming home to a purring cat who is thrilled to see you can instantly lift your spirits and remind you that you are loved. In conclusion, the benefits of cats for our mood are undeniable. From reducing stress and loneliness to elevating our mood and promoting mindfulness, cats can remarkably improve our overall well-being. So, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed or down, take a moment to snuggle up with your furry friend and bask in the pawsitive vibes they bring into your life. At Comfort Diva, we celebrate the cat. We know that surrounding ourselves with cat-tastic style is sure to make us smile. That's what our brand is all about bringing comfort and joy to your world.

And of course, we had to show each other pictures of our kitties in our cell phones. This new journal is a great way to document your day. You can use it as a self love journal, because we can all use more of that.

  • Meow for Comfort & Joy

    It's progress not purr-fection. When I started Comfort Diva, I was caring for my father with dementia. There were times when I felt so alone and isolated and my fur babies were there to remind me that I was not alone. They also brought great joy to my father who couldn't communicate well verbally, but needed the tail wag or the brush up against the leg that the kitties offered. This brand is so much more than just a humorous phrase on a cup or a t-shirt. It's about uplifting the spirit and bringing a smile to your day, which can have a positive affect on your mental health. As the line evolves, it will expand with items that are not cat-related, but still offer the daily chuckle. I also wanted to bring items for the cat lover that were upscale. As a cat mom, I am always looking for cat-themed items to reinforce my affection. Unfortunately, so many of the products out there are cheaply made or just not that attractive. Comfort Diva will bring products to market for the sophisticated cat lover, who wants to express their love for cats in a unique and upscale way. This blog features the Diva Chill Wine Tumbler, which is artistic and funny. You may not know that I am also a wine lover and possess a certification in wine knowledge. There is a huge wine scene in the Texas Hill Country with new wineries opening every day. I get inspiration from the culture here, which is about enjoying good food, good wine and good friends. I feel a connection with everyone who purchases a product from my website or etsy store. Let me know how you like the products and message me with any feedback or positive vibes that they bring to your world. Lisa Sheppard Chief Diva

  • Pear & Brie Croissants

    I am the "appetizers for dinner girl" or "appetizers for breakfast girl" or "appetizers anytime girl". These pear and brie croissants are easy to make and are good for pretty much any time of day or night. I made these during the holidays when I did not feel like fussy cooking. INGREDIENTS 2 Fresh Pears - peeled and chopped 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar 1 Teaspoon of Rum 2 Tablespoons of Melted Butter Store Bought Croissant Dough (Such as Pillsbury) 1 Block of Brie Cheese Apricot Jam DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 F. Peel and chop pears. Toss pears in 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of rum and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Separate store bought croissant dough on a non-stick cookie sheet. Spread a layer of apricot jam on each croissant dough. Top each croissant with a slice of brie cheese. Top the brie cheese with a spoonful of the pear mixture. Roll-up each croissant at the wide end and bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes. #holidayappetizers #holidayfood #holidays #pear #brie #briecheese #croissants #pearbriecroissants #appetizers #breakfast #brunch
