Scuddles Extra Large Picnic Basket Review

What a good find! A very well-constructed, quality plush picnic basket tote bag for everyday use! But this isn't any ordinary one, it's huge - which is impressive! From the outside, you might not be able to tell that it is a picnic basket bag, but being mainly grey, it blends well with any work or school outfit! Perfect for the outdoors but not limited to just that! It comes in handy when you're grocery shopping & don't want to waste any more plastic bags.  Using Scuddles helps the environment and reduces plastic so I can certainly get behind that :-) It is a fun, useful product to bring along on any outing/adventure/trip (whether it be the beach, pool, hiking, park, lake, camping, festival, cruise, car rides, concert, games, tailgating, BBQs, boat, hotel, lake, vacation, etc.)

One of my favorite things about Scuddles Picnic Basket is that it's waterproof & well insulated (keeps all the food & drinks cold/warm & fresh up to 12 hrs).  It's a unisex timeless kind of product that your whole family can benefit from.  Men & women can share! It's sturdy yet light and holds up pretty well!  It comes w/ a set of dinnerware (made stainless steel to be specific) for four and there's plenty of room for ice packs, picnic treats, or healthy options for on the go (home cooked meals, sandwiches, soups, fruit, cans, crackers, salads, bread rolls, water bottles & whatever else).  Everything is as advertised and organized neatly.  Nothing missing.  No need to buy or bring your own kitchen supplies as this comes with all of that already (plates, spoons, cups, forks, cloth napkins, salt & pepper shakers, cutting board) What sets it apart from the other coolers is the inside.  It is deep and can fit in containers of foods or bottles of drinks. 

Another thing I like about Scuddles Extra Large Picnic Basket is that it's easy to carry if I am bringing other picnic gear/items with me! (No struggling) The straps are indeed comfortable.  Overall, makes a good gift & saves the other person/receiver money! Clearly was well-made! Very versatile that you can take it pretty much anywhere.  I def. plan to use it as often as I could.

P.S. In a time & age like now, with all of the natural disasters, and talks of war, I honestly feel this is a must-have!

Cons:

-Blanket not included but I guess the jumbo cooler makes up for it

SwifTrans Camping Lantern Review

One useful tool to have (especially nowadays) that can make life better is a camping lantern! You never know just when you'll need it (like when the power/electricity goes out).  It's a life-saver & a must-have/essential in my emergency/disaster/survival kit for sure.  I know it will get a lot of use in the near future.  It's an alternative to a flashlight, lamp or candles as it shines bright in any room.  You can put it right by your bed incase of anything.  Perfect for the outdoors & indoors! (camping/tents, dark attics, shed, garage, reading, night walks, car rides, grilling at night, boating, dorms, sleepovers, repairing, backpacking, hiking & more)

This SwifTrans camping lantern that I received is ideal for regular usage.  Since it is portable, I can take it room to room - pretty much anywhere.  The handles can hook onto tree branches, so that's a plus for outdoor enertaining!  I can save energy, time & space w/ this one product.  A win-win! & it's easy to store away in my backpack, closet or storage box.  I honestly feel like a lantern is an item that every home should have at all times.

All in all, very convenient & handy! It runs on batteries (6 AA batteries to be exact; no big batteries) and lasts quite a while (12 hrs).  Unlike some lanterns out there, this one has a magnetic base & no buttons/switches.  You get to control the amount of light by simply adjusting the height.  Very easy to use & lightweight - 1 of my favorite things about it :)  & the fact that it's water-resistant/water-proof, making it safe to use in the rain.  If you're like me, & scared of fires, and don't want to deal w/ oily mess, get yourself SwifTrans.  Plus, you don't have to worry about it when you're around kids!

Makes a good gift for him/her! Also good to have in your car just incase!

Cons:

-Hope that it holds up!

No Knot Necklace Carrier Review

What a clever idea! A jewelry holder/carrier for on-the-go/vacations/travels :) Yay, to no more spending minutes detangling jewelry in hotel rooms and using zip-loc bags.  It can really drive you nuts sometimes especially after a long day of traveling, but this.  This is a game-changer and a travel must-have product for me.  I've been looking for something like this for some time now & grateful to come across it! I picked the one w/ the spring/summery green/white leafy design.  It's very lightweight which I like because it's space saving! One good way to keep all of my jewelry safe, organized & in good shape - whether it's at home or out!

Having OCD, it's quite relieving to find a system for traveling w/ jewelry that actually works! The No Knot Necklace Carrior is small yet long in size and has many padded slots/compartments for all kinds of jewelry.  The individual pockets are perfect for storing rings, small earrings or hair ties, while the large pocket for bracelets or the bigger pieces! It can even be used for camera accessories or charge cables.  In the middle section, is where the necklaces go to keep them from tangling.  It doesn't take a lot of space in my lugguage or duffle bag and it keeps everything all in one place.  Also makes my mornings simpler & better as I am not a morning person.  Usually the night before I like to pick/plan out my outfit & jewelry for the next day, so this gadget definitely comes in use for that.  Getting my stuff all ready & prepared helps decrease my anxiety & gets me going, so I'm about that.

Overall, a convenient & worthy travel accessory! I can throw it in my purse & go.  It makes traveling easier & 1 less problem in my daily life.

Cons:

-Zipper is sensitive so be gentle

YakFaino Wallet Review

There's something special about eco-friendly, vegan 100% handmade things made from the heart.  There's nothing quite like them.  They cannot be duplicated & for that reason I plan to take extra care.  With that said, the YakFaino Wallet that I received is perfect for out & about! I don't have to carry my entire bag with me as it's a good size! It makes a beautiful gift and helps any woman stay neat & organized!

The feel of the YakFaino Wallet's detailed floral fabric/print on the outside is soft & high-quality construction-wise.  I'm impressed with how it's made with only natural, vegan materials.  There is different floral print/pattern on the inside as well that is just as pretty & the colors are as shown in the picture! I can never get tired of looking at it.  It's currently my new signature go-to, daily/everyday wallet at the moment.  It's feminine, sturdy, and well-made! There are three compartments that fits all my important cards, id, driver's license, cash, receipts, coupons, notes, bills, documents,concert tickets & what not- so plenty of room/slots/space without being too heavy/bulky.

YakFaino Wallet is easy to carry around and find in a big purse so that's a plus! (No struggling there) It can double as a clutch.  Look forward to using it for daily errands, grocery shopping, paying bills & international travel! It will certainly be handy and useful.  It opens and closes easily and there is a large zippered interior compartment pocket (in the middle) perfect for storing coins, my emergency money, cell phone and car & home keys!

Out of all of the beautiful designs, it was definitely hard choosing one! But all in all, it's everything I need from a wallet.  It suits my needs & I know that I will be getting lots of use out of it.  It can be paired with both causal and business attire & a good addition to my accessory wardrobe!

P.S. Made in Ukraine w/ <3

Con:

-May be too big to some

The Koolshopp Tee Review

Classic readable literature quote text ("They laugh at me because I'm Different; I laugh at them because they're all the same" -Kurt Cobain) in one of my favorite colors (purple) on a short sleeve tee-shirt :-) Pretty creative & fun if you ask me! These professionally printed short sleeve crew-neck tees are 1 of a kind, exclusive/rare, & hard to find! I've been looking for a unique tee that not many people have & is different that would separate me from other people! After discovering The Koolshopp, I realized that they not only offer a wide variety/selection of tee-shirts, but hoodies, footwear & accessories with different colors & sizes for women and men! All have a personalized/customized touch - making them a special, thoughtful gift for him/her for any occasion!

Koolshopp tees are ideal to wear for lounging, traveling/vacations, sleeping in, shopping and playing sports.  Some of the tees are just so relatable to life.  They can truly bring out your personality and sense of humor without even saying one word.  It's actually one way to meet people and start a conversation.  As for the material, it is comfortable, smooth, & quality cotton  - which is my favorite because it doesn't irritate/bother me.  Although, it does kind of feel like there is a little bit of spandex in there, but there is actually none according to product description.  This  may be my new night shirt as it is breathable and not too tight, not too loose, but just in-between.  My kind of fit...cozy.

Suitable for all seasons especially hot summer days! You can get many outfits out of this one piece.  It's easy to match w/ almost anything - pants, jeans, leggings, pajamas, capris, shorts, & skirts.  I also like that it's not see-through or sheer like other shirts! (therefore no tank top is needed underneath) And the neckline & sleeve length fits me well! The tee has a fit slim shape and a bit of stretch to it so I'd size up or two if you're considering it.  I plan to take extra care of mine, so that the lettering does not come off. 

Overall, very fast shipping, came clean & a unique gift idea idea for your loved ones! (whether it be your friend, daughter, sister, cousin, co-worker, etc.) The message written on it caught my eye & is motivational to me.  I could use a much-needed reminder every now & then.

Cons:

-Runs small so may need to size up for comfort
-May start a conversation w/ a stranger lol
