Organizing!!!

I am spending the morning ORGANIZING! My desk drawer looks especially fabulous thanks to our new Office Accessories- all conveniently packed in kraft boxes, to keep everything in the right place and looking good. Sold individually or as a set. Anything that helps keeps us on our game is not considered a want, but rather a need. You need these.  Go for it! Desk Accessories- sold individually starting at $7, or as a set for $50.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE….

I am in LOVE with these new tea towels. Can’t have enough tea towels I always say. Easy As Pie, Piece of Cake or Keep it Simple. Lovely housewarming present, makes a pretty gift! Easy As Pie Tea Towel- $25.

Coolest Ice Pack EVER (& VERY functional)

Stainless Steel Ice Pack

My love for inanimate objects keeps growing–the latest item I am smitten with is this Stainless Steel Ice Pack. It’s slim enough (about the size of an iphone) to fit into our Stainless Steel Lunch Containers (which by the way are airtight and very cool looking and compact), but also super helpful on many levels. As a mom, I am now always in need of ice packs to keep little Cocobeans’ bottles and food cold while we are out & about, so am thrilled to find these. Stainless Steel Ice Pack- $15.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions: the non-technical kind

We are all set for Back to School at the shop (check out lots of awesome goodies for headed back to school/work/whatever here) but we have all spent countless hours debating one important question: which planner should we buy. I tried to go all digital, but it’s just not working for me people– I need to see my crazy handwriting to realize something important is happening tmrw at 2. Jess gravitated to Knock Knock’s Academic Planner, above- in our fav Kelly green (it comes with a plastic sleeve in there which would be great for biz cards, receipts, even extra cash). I am leaning more towards the Draw Your Tomorrow Planner that we talked about earlier. And then there is also this cool TOMORROW White Planner that is sleek and cool and just the right size for my everyday bag. All of them are thin and portable, but also are spiral bound which my friend Jill pointed out will be good for laying flat on my desk…. Lots of choices! And many great options…. Academic Planner- $16.

Digging it. Draw Your Tomorrow Planner…

Draw Your Tomorrow- digging it. A cool planner with lots of room for doodling & creativity. Perfect to start anytime. Yeah Mon. I’m feeling it… Draw Your Tomorrow Planner- $36.

LOVE this Amazing Market Tote

I’m totally obsessed with this Market Tote- there are so many things to love: the Woven Palm Leaves durable texture, the supple leather trim made for lazy summer days, the 2 sets of handles: one long, one short- to be carried over the shoulder or in your hands… it’s the perfect combination of fabulousness. Double Handle Market Tote- $40.

Where did I put that menu?

After you’ve lived in one place for awhile, the take-out menu mess is inevitable! I consider myself a pretty organized person but the menus – definitely last on the priority list. That’s why I’m in love with this nifty Take Out Menu Organizer! I have stacks of menus from neighborhood places that I love stashed in different piles and most of the time, they come pouring out of that cabinet I placed them in. But with this new organizer, I have hope that the mess will no longer be! Not only is it bright and easy to find, it includes handy meal-rating stickers, a tipping guide, helpful ordering advice, a frequently called numbers list, and so much more.  No more excuses, clean out that cabinet! And the next time you order take out, you won’t be searching high and low to find the menu for your favorite pad thai from that new place down the street.
