Everything Orgo Travel Organizer Review

Happy Monday! Looking for a great holiday gift? Today, I’m reviewing the Everything Orgo Lite Travel Organizer. 

In April, I was at The International Travel Goods Show and came across this unique product. 

When traveling, have you ever come across the problem of not having enough counter space for your toiletries? Have you dropped your products in the sink? 

Orgo solves these problems and more. The creators came up with a water resistant, organizational case that expands over the sink and enhances storage space.  

I travel frequently and the majority of my traveling is 2-4 weeks at a time, which means I take a lot with me. Orgo is sleek and compact, so it doesn’t take up much space in my suitcase. While compact, it does give me ample room to put all of my items. There are also removal organizational inserts/dividers.  

As you can see, I have room for my skin care products, toothbrush, shaver and deodorant, as well as my makeup. There are zippered compartments on each side and I like to put my jewelry in them, or a makeup palette. 

I use mine for toiletries, but the possibilities are truly endless. You can use this for children and put some snacks, crayons and small toys --- Or, put a small tablet, pens, a journal etc.  

I decided to play around with mine and see what I could fit in it. 

I was able to fit snacks, sunglasses, an essential oil, crystals, perfume, lipstick and chapstick, earbuds, phone charger, a book an IPad, and more.

Specs:
Comes in black with hot pink, black with lime green, or plain black (On their website, you will also see some other styles/colors)

Dimensions: 
15" x 11" x 2.25 (zipped)
22" x 11 x 2.25" (with ORGOsliderTM  extended)
36" x 11 x 2.25 (fully expanded)
Weight: 1.65 lbs

To open case fully and have it expand, unsnap the tabs (found at bottom of case) and slide the two pieces apart.

Yom Kippur Resolutions 5778/2017

Today, is Yom Kippur, which is known as the day of atonement. It's a time to look back on our year. I love this holiday because I see it as a spiritual cleansing of sorts. It's not only a time to say we are sorry and vow to change, but it's a time to be more mindful. To create new patterns. To evaluate our last year and start to determine how the next one might look. I choose today to let go of what is no longer serving me, make amends with those I may have wronged and to set goals for the person I'd like to be in the upcoming year. 

Here are some of my resolutions for the year 5778...

• Drink more water  
• Inspire people
• Journal and write more  
• Listen to my intuition - Instead of second guessing myself, I should listen to my gut instinct
• Continue to weed out negativity and toxicity in my life
• Become more involved in both the Jewish and spiritual communities around me 
• Continue to step out of my comfort zone. If I'm fearful or nervous about an experience, do it anyway! 
• Speak my truth 

In the coming year, I strive to love and honor myself, let my inner goddess flow, and remain grateful and count my blessings.

I pray for peace and compassion as we move forward....

Gmar Chatimah Tova! May you be inscribed in the book of life. ️

We have 93 days until 2018 - What is something you'd like to accomplish before the year is over?

Best Dressed at the 2017 Emmys

Happy Monday! This week's blog post is on the fashion of the Primetime Emmys. Below, you'll find some of my personal favorites! 

Jessica Biel always looks great, but I really loved her look last night (Her dress is by Ralph and Russo).

Besides loving Michelle Pfeiffer as much as I do, this has to be one of my favorites of the whole evening. Michelle looked incredible in this Oscar De La Renta dress. The intricate detailing is beautiful.

How is this woman nearly 80?? Jane Fonda sure stood out in this pink Brandon Maxwell dress. She also shook things up by sporting a new hairdo! Love it!

Ellie Kemper wore a Jenny Packham dress, which featured such delicate embroidery. How stunning did she look?

Laverne Cox shined! The gunmetal, Naeem Khan dress seemed futuristic and gave me an art deco kind of vibe. 

Gina Rodriguez is a breath of fresh air. How gorgeous is her Naeem Khan gown?

Jessica Lange looked elegant in Gucci!

I'm sure some won't like Ajiona Alexus's jumpsuit/gown, but I happen to like it!

Also....Cutest couple award is a tie for me...Between Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban and Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy.

Did you have a favorite look? Let me know in the comments below!

Goddess Provisions (August Unicorn Magic Review) Subscription Box

Happy Monday! Today, I'm reviewing a subscription box called, Goddess Provisions. I discovered them in December and have been receiving their emails ever since. This is my first box and I'm super excited to show it to you. 

Their August box is called, "Unicorn Magic" and after opening it, I was really pleased. It costs $33 a month. They offer you the option of purchasing as a one time "gift," so that it doesn't automatically renew. If you provide your email address, you'll get updates on the box of the month as well as their special edition boxes that you can then sign up to receive. 

On their website, it's says there are typically 4-6 full sized items. I received 8 items (totaling $90 according to their listed value). The items vary from aromatherapy, beauty products, teas, crystals, etc. A definite pro is that everything is vegan and cruelty free!

1. Soul Sunday Unicorn Aromatherapy Roller $18 Value

This roller has a blend of lavender and peppermint essential oils. It is vegan, hand-blended and what I really like, is that the roller ball is silver and feels nice when you apply it onto your pulse points. 

2. Soul Candy Chakra Diffuser Stone $5 Value

There are seven different chakras, therefore I could have received any of them in my box. The universe happened to give me the third eye chakra stone which is definitely fitting.  

So what is neat about this product is that you can add a couple drops of essential oil on the white surrounding portion of the stone and then place a crystal in the center. You then can place the diffuser stone on your body and the little disc will keep your crystal in place. 

3. Awaken Essential Oils Rainbow Energy Inhaler $12 Value

I have a natural peppermint inhaler that I purchased at my local health food store, but I'm absolutely obsessed with this one. It smells amazing. There is a blend of rose, orange, lemon, lavender, green mandarin and blue chamomile. I'm definitely putting this in my purse!

4. Unicorn Makeup Brush $11 Value

Who doesn't want makeup a brush that reminds you of a Unicorn?? This fan shaped brush can be used to apply highlighter and get that glowing unicorn look! The quality of this brush didn't blow me away, but I was able to apply highlighter pretty well. 

5. Sweetapolita Twinkle Sprinkles $9 Value

This made me smile. How cute! Vegan sprinkles with edible gold stars. You're probably supposed to be putting these on some sugar cookies or a treat, but I prefer to just sneak a handful every now and then. Shhhh! 

6. Heart + Hands Self-Care Sticker $4 Value

I'm always happy to get a sticker...especially this one! I love the intention of it and want to obtain a poster or jumbo sticker that looks like this. I found the creator of this sticker on Etsy and her shop is adorable. Click here, to check her store out! 

7. Let's Put A Bird On It Unicorn Dust Highlighter $12 Value

So, we started off with a makeup brush to apply highlighter and now we have unicorn highlighter to try out! This highlighter is organic and is made with flower infused oils and vitamin e. This is a new favorite because of its creamy texture. It starts out subtle, but you can apply more to achieve that glowy goddess look! 

8. Crystal Rose Amethyst Orgone Wand $18 Value 

This wand is filled with rose quartz, amethyst and crystal quartz. You can use it for reiki, your altar, etc. It's also a loving tool to be used to massage your feet or back. I keep staring at this because of how pretty it is. When holding the wand in my hand, I can feel the good juju. Rose Quartz is one of my favorite crystals to have because it's known for being the stone of love and having healing properties for the heart chakra. 

The Goddess Provisions box far exceeded my expectations. I am so in love with all my new goodies.
