Organizer Backpacks for Everyone

 

This week I have been creating unique designs for backpacks at Zazzle.  In the past Zazzle has offered a variety of backpacks but what I like about this product design is the size and the inside organizer pockets that are big enough for your laptop, tablet and phone. There is also  interior space for everything else and a mesh holder to keep your water bottle upright and secure.

I enjoy hiking at the nature center and my current backpack does not have the mesh holder for my water bottle nor does it have compartments.  I just pack the bag and when I need to find something I always end up taking everything out.  So when Zazzle came out with the organizer backpack know that I love them.

 This backpack is lightweight yet durable with padded shoulder straps.  It’s a perfect size backpack for gym, school, travel and for day hikes at the park

The backpack is 17x12.5x5 so its on the small size. The bag is made from durable polyester poplin with prints all over.  The manufacture recommends spot cleaning and I recommend “scotch guard fabric water shield. You can pick up a bottle at Walmart or Amazon and this product will protect the bag from the weather, snow, rain and dirt.

UBUNTU Life Afridrilles /Espadrille Shoes at Zazzle

 Zazzle.com is a website that is known for its support of independent artists and creators.   One of their creators features Afridrilles which are personalized espadrille shoes.  These shoes are made by hand by women in Kenya Africa and each shoe purchase helps to improve the lives of African women, and mothers who are raising special needs children.

The sale of these shoes makes it possible for these women to be financially independent and it’s also a way for these women to be educated by learning skills that will help them to provide a better life for their families.

You may be wondering about the Afridrilles handmade shoes' quality and fit.  These shoes are made very well, if you like to walk then you will enjoy wearing these 100% East African cotton-made shoes. 

Know that the shoes do have a tight fit when you first put them on but with wearing they ease up and conform to your foot.  I love them and wore them all last summer with casual jeans and sundresses.
