KAVU Rope Bag

 

review-image

I am not one to sit at home and I love nothing more than taking my daughter with me on life’s adventures. I am truly passionate about babywearing and love the ease of having her so close to me, while having my hands free. As much as I love babywearing my biggest struggle is finding a bag or a purse that is comfortable for myself and my daughter. I can’t seem to keep shoulder bags on my shoulder along with the straps of my carrier. Cross body purses always seem to be too high, getting in the way of my daughters legs or too long and seem to swing behind my leg while walking. I was talking to a friend of mine about this just the other day. She loves designer bags and has some gorgeous genuine pieces as well as a few knock off purses in her collection. I can never tell whether her designer bags are the real deal or replicas, and I am incredibly jealous of the way that she can pull off carrying just about any bag so effortlessly! As for me though, I’m always on the lookout for something new and exciting. However, one day I spotted a woman out wearing a KAVU Rope Bag. Looking at the unique design I couldn’t help but think that this bag could solve my problems when babywearing.

KAVU’s Rope Bag has perfectly met my need for a bag that can easily be worn while babywearing. Their rope bag hasbabywearing-kavu enough room for not only my belongings (wallet, camera, notebook, chap-stick, phone) but also a days worth of stuff for my daughter (diapers, wipes, hat, snack, water bottle). I would consider the rope bag a medium size, big enough to hold all my stuff but still trim and sleek enough to be snug to my back. The KAVU Rope Bag is full of pockets and compartments, making it easy to stay organized. There are two vertical zip compartments. One allows access to the main part of the bag, which also includes a inside zip pocket. The other allows access to a smaller side pocket. The rope bag has two front pockets, one zips and one velcros; perfect for keys, cell phones, camera or chap-stick. With it’s adjustable rope strap the bag is not only comfortable, the buckle is perfectly placed making it easy to take on and off.

The rope bag is so versatile that I use it as a purse, a day pack, or a diaper bag. Most days it is all three. It is so light and comfortable I often forget it’s on my back. I am easily able to shift the bag from my back around to the front to access it without having to take it off. The wide rope strap evenly distributes the weight across my shoulder and keeps the bag in place, perfect if wearing while biking or hiking.

KAVU has designed the perfect bag for every situation. They have a huge selection of bookbags, duffel bags, totes, purses, rope bags and waist bags all offered in bright colors and beautiful prints. You can match your unique style with a bag durable enough for everyday use.

Belabumbum

As a first time mom I thought that I could get away with having just a few nursing apparel and intimate items. Boy was I wrong! I quickly learned that I needed nursing bras, nursing sports bras, nursing night bras, nursing tank tops, nursing shirts, and the list goes on! Not only do I need each of these, I need multiples of them! Finding something that fits well and is comfy is my number one priority when looking for nursing intimates. I wear at least one of these items every hour of the day, I have to be comfortable in them. Belabumbum is a company that has met my nursing apparel necessities, and can meet yours too.

Belabumbum offers apparel to pregnant and nursing moms; I’m sure you’ll find something to love from their inventory. Their products are top of the line, so soft, and ultra comfy. Belabumbum has me [and you] covered – literally!

For 15 years [and counting] Belabumbum has encouraged women to care for themselves. This company strives for their customers to feel great and their employees to feel secure in their work. Belabumbum stands out because of the work they do as a social enterprise. They are ‘a company that contributes to improved social and economic outcomes as it does business.’ The company seeks to give their employees an improved livelihood; they truly care for their workers. With family-run production facilities in four South American countries, they are boosting job security and nurturing entrepreneurs.

When I received my products I was instantly pleased with the packaging. I could tell they really took time to put my pieces together well and with care. My products were individually wrapped in plastic and nicely placed in a clean white package. The beautiful Belabumbum sticker on top was a cute, extra touch.

Ultra Smooth Nursing Sports Bra

Upon receiving the Ultra Smooth Nursing Sports Bra I was so excited to put it on and try nursing my son while wearing it. I wanted to know if it was really going to work well. After using it just a few times I quickly learned that this bra is perfect for nursing. The one handed clasp makes it very easy to use; and it allows for quick access to feeding.

This bra is the softest bra I’ve ever felt. Seriously, when I pulled it out of the packaging it was the first thing I noticed. The bra is true to its ultra smooth name.

Another feature that I like about this sports bra is that it has the capability to convert to a racerback. This is my number one priority when shopping for a sports bra. All my bras are racerback, it’s what I’m used to; so having the option to convert is great! I found that if I am exercsportsbra-backising I will use the hook and convert to belabumbuma racerback, but if I’m wearing this bra as an everyday bra, I un-hook the straps. Doing this makes the bra feel less like a sports bra and more like a day to day bra.

 

As a small chested woman I appreciate the pad cups in the bra. These pads add to the comfort, fit, and quality of the bra. Giving options to use the cups or remove them allows you to choose to wear the bra whichever way is more comfortable.

Moon Goddess Robe

I never wear a robe and honestly I’ve never even owned a robe before, but I am so glad that I ordered one from Belabumbum. This Moon Goddess Robe is perfect for any woman – pregnant, nursing, or neither.

The super soft fabric is made of 100% prima cotton jersey; and it is so soft. I wear the robe every morning when I wake up, it’s the perfect thickness to keep the chill off. The sleeves are full length and the robe reaches my ankles, so my whole body is wrapped in the soft warmth.robe-moon-image

 

On the back of the robe is a beautiful design that adds to the elegance of the black fabric. It is bejeweled with silver moon motifs in honor of the mother goddess who creates, nurtures, and loves”. The photo on the right is the moon design – very unique.

 

My favorite feature of the robe is the inner self-tie. This allows for the inner flap of the robe to be wrapped over to your hip and tied secure so it doesn’t slip open. If the outer belt comes untied the robe stays closed because of the inner tie.

 

Belabumbum makes quality, unique products that are perfect for any pregnant or nursing mama. Check out their line; you won’t be disappointed!

Kyocera Ceramic Camp Kitchen Knife & Mini-Prep Knife + Bar Board Set

kyocera-review

My family are camping fanatics. We love getting away for the weekend and reconnecting with nature. It’s a brilliant way to forget the stresses of life and connect with your family. We go camping so often that I think we’ve got every type of camping equipment possible – from a portable washing machine to an 8-man tent to a multipurpose shovel! But one bit of equipment I’ve always found difficult to find a high-quality product for is a camping knife. That’s why I was so excited when Kyocera approached me about their new products!

Kyocera Advanced Ceramics knives are preferred by professional chefs and home cooks alike. Ceramic knives are lighter while giving you precise cuts with a razor sharp blade that will retain its edge 10 times as long as a typical steel knife. You will be impressed with the purity of ceramic as your food will never brown and your blade will never rust.

Sabatier knives from KitchenKnives.co.uk have similar features and are also well worth considering if you’re in the market for some high-quality kitchen knives. The Sabatier knives make the top 6 best self-sharpening knife sets (learn more here) and so come highly rated.

Kyocera has so much more than knives, be sure to check out their Ceramic Cookware, Ceramic Peelers, Slicers, Grinders and Graters. Kyocera also has unique gift ideas for those who are hard to shop for, Ceramic Pens, Ceramic Camping Knives, Mill Sets as well as Knife sets that make a great introduction to ceramic products.
