The Monogram Tote (Daisy) by Krafty Chix is a homemade, customized beauty for sure! It is sturdy & holds everything I need! Quite impressive :-) I selected mine in a classic black with my 1st initial J in etiquette font & lilac thread color (my favorite). But you can choose whatever font & colors you like! The Monogram Tote (Daisy) also comes in brown! I feel like brown & black bags make good staple, everyday, go-to, year 'round bags! They're versatile & just work with so many of my outfits. Plus, I'm not one to change my bag every single day to match my outfits. Not my style. Simple is my go-to.
As for the texture of the bag, it is kind of rough & rustic, which gives it a slight edge. The 2 roomy interior compartments AKA open storage space makes it easy to fit in so much of my personal belongings (large or small). It handles the load like a champ! Between the two open compartments, is a zippered compartment for the more essential things such as your phone, wallet & keys. And as for the over-the-shoulder straps, it stays on just fine! It hits above the waist or close under the arm, which makes it convenient and ideal for shopping trips, & traveling or spending the day/night out in town.
I can tell that this bag was well-made & solidly built with organizational features for the woman on the go, so thumbs up to Krafty Chix! Another thing that I like is that I don't have to really worry about it getting dirty. Unlike my other colored bags that ruin easily, this one looks like it's "timeless" & here to stay. Let's hope that is the case!
I plan to use my Monogram Tote (Daisy) for basically everything. I know that I will get much use out of this bag. If you're an artsy & organized gal like me, you will be surprised with how much crafty supplies & DIY projects this tote can hold! Being the perfectionist that I am, having my essentials neat & orderly saves me time & frustration, so I am appreciative of organizer totes like Krafty Chix!
P.S. Monogrammed gifts = Unique

I was delighted to find out about Green's Home Style Cakes! There seems to be something for just about everyone including sugar-free options! They offer sinfully delicious kosher, Jewish assorted cakes, breads, tarts, pastries, cookies, rolls, desserts & more to make your celebrations the sweetest :-)
Hand Dipped Rainbow Cookies:
They're unique petite desserts!
Taste & texture wise, they were yummy, soft, quite fluffy & moist! Not dry or firm. The natural jam filling & the dark chocolate coating are a classic combination! Beautiful sponge four-layered (white, green, pink & yellow), part cookie, part cake w/ a bit of jam right smack in the middle! I'd say they're pretty addictive to eat in one sitting, so be careful lol!
Also can be dipped in chocolate sauce (if you find them to not be sweet enough for your taste buds).
Freezes well too!
I don't know about you but I like my cakes...layered! (Something about them)
Assorted Mini Cup Cakes:
I like the idea of 12 mini cup cakes! They're like bite-sized versions of regular cup cakes.
I can't believe these are natural, kosher & made from nut-free ingredients. Taste like cupcake heaven to me! The perfect cake to frosting/sprinkles ratio! Upon taste-testing, they're moist, light & fluffy! Vanilla cup cakes can be dry & flavorless but not these. They melted in my mouth quite easily. They were baked properly - not underbaked or overbaked, just right! If you don't want to be too much/extra at a party, event or family gathering, then get yourself mini vanilla cup cakes like Green's Home Style.
An instant pick-me-up for any occasion :-)
I should also note that they arrived beautifully, nicely wrapped & ready to eat!
(The chocolate & colorful sprinkles almost make them too pretty to eat!)
Chocolate Babka AKA Traditional Eastern European Dessert:
Kosher Chocolate Babka won me over :) At first sight, it looks like ordinary plain chocolate swirly loaf bread. But it's more than that! It's better than cake & brownies in my opinion. I'm surprised that I did not find out about it sooner! Did you know that it was featured in the Huffington Post & New York Times? It's sinfully yummy!
It can be eaten as breakfast, snack, or dessert. You can have it w/ a cup of coffee, or tea. Green's Chocolate Babka is made of yeast dough & high-quality rich chocolate fudgey filling with sugar crystals. The yeast dough is braided/twisted to form the chocolate swirly design. It looks like it takes a long time to make. One slice is addictive, so beware! They come in chocolate & cinnamon flavors. I've never tried the Cinnamon Babkas, but the chocolate one is legit!
There's a balance between the bread & the chocolate - so nothing's too overpowering. It pulls apart easily. The crumb topping & the sides are quite firm, but the dough is fresh, moist & buttery. All natural & nut-free!
I placed mine in the fridge, but you can eat at room temperature or heat them up.
Babkas can be given as a gift.
I did not know that Whole Foods carry them...sweet! You can also purchase all Green's Home Style baked goods on their online store. They ship worldwide!

Such a clever idea! Unlike regular ankle socks, you don't have to worry about awkward moments of them slipping off, going into your shoe or restricting your calves. Hidey No Show Socks have a simple, feminine, ballet Mary Jane look/style to them, which I find cute! You get a barefoot feeling (so I'd say they're the closest it gets to bare feet). They can be worn everyday, anywhere (including hospital stays, the gym, around the house & outdoors while jumping on the trampoline) - in the hot or cold months. I don't usually like to walk around barefoot (because I like to keep my feet clean), but at the same time, some days, I don't like to wear thick, heavy/bulky socks, so these are just right/perfect for me!
Hidey Socks are also soft, lightweight, & flexible. They're not any ordinary socks. They're eco-friendly, antibacterial & thermo-regulating socks which means that they keep feet cool in hot weather & warm in the winter (in other words, comfy all year long). With the open air cut-out style on the top, they allow your feet to breathe and not sweat as much. They're machine-washable, protect your feet from blisters & dirt (with the gel section) & can be worn with any shoes.
AKA my go-to exercise socks :)
Because Hidey Socks are practical & functional they can also be worn with jeans or tutus.
Not sure of lifespan of Hidey Socks, but hope they last long!
P.S. Must be the right size to work!
