Legally, I have to start this post by letting you know I received these items for free in exchange for an honest review! Y'all know I'll be honest no matter what I'm given so no worries there. 

These might be the nicest accessories I own right now. 

Erase the "might be" because HOT DAMN these feel fancy. 

As soon as I opened the box I knew they were quality products. I was hit with the immediate scent of leather. My eyes got wide and I told my husband, "Holy crap. Do you smell that? IT'S ACTUAL LEATHER!" 

I'm easy to entertain, y'all. 

​Let's start it up!

Buffalo Hide Leather, y'all. 
 
Let me say that again:

Buffalo Hide Leather

There is a lot of space inside. There is plenty of room for your approved size liquids if you're flying! 

AND it comes with this nifty addition:

• TSA APPROVED LOKSAK BAG • Keep liquids away from your essentials with a TSA approved Loksak waterproof bag. Featuring a hermetic airtight seal and waterproof certification up to 200 feet/60 meters, this bag offers leak-free protection.

(Disclosure: I did not receive one of these loksak bags so I can't review that part personally BUT IT SOUNDS SO NEAT!)

This is one of my favorite inventions ever. 

I take a lot of cords with me when I travel. My phone, my kindle, my husband's phone, my kids' tablets, and a laptop. Oh! And headphones. 

Yes, they end up a tangled mess that would revel Christmas lights. 

But this has neat pockets, loops, and a cloth bag to store all of that! 

Again, high quality leather! 

​Here's a pic from their website of it in action!

I am IN LOVE with this bag. 

There are so many pockets! SO MANY OF THEM!

I can easily fit my kindle, my phone, cords, snacks, my wallet. I could probably put a kitten in here if necessary. (You never know, okay?) 

Crossbody is my favorite style because I like having my hands/arms free. With 4 zippered pockets, 2 snap pockets, and a velco pocket...I'm set for the long haul. It's seriously a great "mom purse" based on pockets and storage size alone! 

Plus, again with the quality leather! 

You can click on the pictures to go directly to that product on their site! Be sure and take a look around because they have other fantastic products beyond bags!

Thank you SO MUCH to Dwellbee for sending me these awesome bags! I love them so much!

I love a good YouTube rabbit hole. 

Sometimes I search something outlandish and click through the "recommended" videos just to see where I'll end up. 

OR I'll explore a channel's various playlists and older videos. 

So, here are a few playlists I've discovered and recommend you spend time on...

It's super cheesy and based on a book I haven't read (I think I put it on a list somewhere)

I went through a period of time where I watched a lot of vid series like this. This is one I remember actually liking enough to finish it. 

Vegan, vegetarian, or food allergies/avoidance readers! 

She cooks and tries various VEGAN fast food items. She's pretty engaging and honest AND I've learned a few things about food customization from her channel. 

How many times have you seen a pin on Pinterest and thought, "But would that really work?" 

How many times have you thought that and immediately thought, "Well I'm not wasting my time and money to find out..."

(How many times did you pin it anyway?)

Fear not. Rob tests many of those outlandish and weird pins. He's loud, he's inappropriate, and he's reckless at times...but he's saved me the frustration of failing a pin.

Recently a post went around Facebook where you asked your friends to request Top 5 lists from you. 

Of course, the first person on mine asked me to list off my Top 5 books. 

That's like asking me to name my favorite child! 
(hint, it's actually one of the cats)

I think I've figured out what to put on my list.

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: 

​

The Hobbit

This book was one of my first forays into a more grown up form of fantasy novels. I probably didn't grasp it "properly" at that age but I enjoyed it enough to read again over the years. 

No, I haven't seen the movies. The book is NOT 3 movies long and I've refused. 



​The Giver

This book was my first glimpse into the world of Dystopian Fiction (even though didn't know what to call it then) 

Again, I haven't seen the movie because I hold the book in such high regard and it's a bit of nostalgia for me. 



Darkfever

This isn't the first time I've recommended this book. 

Because it's fantastic. 

The "love story" is totally unhealthy but the characters are so engaging you end up cheering for them. The world-building is fantastic and the writing is beautiful.



​​The Scarlet Letter

I know. I actually liked a school assigned book. 

It's actually one of the few I read most of the way through. I've written several papers for English classes (both mine and others ha!) about this novel. 



​The Clan of the Cave Bear

BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD JUST BECAUSE I SAID I LIKED IT

Trigger warning for a rape scene. It's short but totally makes sense for the characters and plot development. 

I've read this book so many times I can't remember. The rest of the series was very meh and this book works fine as a standalone!
