September is halfway over and I just realized today that I hadn’t shared my favorites from last month. I spent the first 3 weeks of August visiting my son, daughter-in-law, and grandsons. When I arrived, I was not happy to discover that I had left my toiletry bag with all its contents, at home! Argggh! I had it filled with everything I would need over the next few weeks and I turned right around and drove off without it.
I hopped on the computer and ordered a bunch of the things I needed from Kroger and Amazon to be delivered over the following two days. I thought about ordering a toiletry bag to store everything in but figured I would just make do until I got back home. Well, that didn’t last long. When everything started arriving and I realized I had nowhere to put it all, I decided to order a bag I had seen a while back for a great price. It came in several colors and I went with black thinking it would be the most practical for travel.
I have a similar bag to this one back home–the one I left! I like that one but this one is even better! The pockets are deep enough that it will hold full size bottles. When I visit family, I always hang my toiletry bag on the closet door hook inside the closet, then I can easily access whatever I need each day. The last pocket on the end snaps off so it can be taken into the bathroom, if needed. My old bag had a removable pocket, too–but it zipped and the zipper would occasionally try to creep open. I like the way this one snaps on a lot better.
I don’t wear a lot of makeup, but if you do and travel with makeup brushes, there’s even a pocket for holding those. Love this bag! You’ll find it available here: Toiletry Bag, Great for Travel or Everyday.
I’ve purchased this blanket twice, one for home and one for my son’s home. It’s just so soft, I like having it with me in both places. The last time I was there, I brought it back with me so I could have one on my bed and one in my office.
I brought it back to my son’s home on this past trip in August and my youngest grandson could not stop snuggling up in it. lol So I left it there this time. I’m thinking of ordering it again in another design/color, just so I have two here at home again. It’s just soooo soft and snuggly! I love it! If you need a super soft snuggly blanket or throw, it’s available in several sizes here: Softest Blanket Ever!
I couldn’t share all my faves without mentioning a few of the lamps I purchased last month. I ended up buying 5 lamps total.
I was worried the company would vanish from the site, so I replaced all the lamps I needed to replace over the space of a few weeks. Hopefully, they will be around for a while! If you are in need of a beautiful lamp with a quality lampshade, you’ll find the company I purchased all my lamps from here: Beautiful Lamps.
