He told me it's a present I have to open now! :)

Bored Inc. - Review - Tote

I love baking, as you already know.

I'm always looking for something with cupcakes, or something sweet.

And I think I found just the site, Bored Inc.!

Bored Inc. has the cutest clothes, purses, totes, accessories and much more!

They are unique and adorable! I love the sayings and characters, they are too cute for words!

Bored Inc. is a mother daughter team based out of Los Angeles they are dedicated to their work and it really shows.. You can find more info about them here.

I am so lucky, Bored Inc. gave me a tote to review!

And of course, I love it! I like to do my part by shopping green, and now I can be super cool with my Life is Sweet tote while buying my Sweets! It has little cupcakes, ice cream cones, candies, just really cute!

Okay so verdict? I took the tote to the grocery store. Got a few essentials for baking.. here's the pictures!!

I think I bought too much... I couldn't resist! :)

Here's everything that I fit in there while shopping!

Honestly Life IS sweet when you have a sweet tote!

I love this tote, it's adorable and fun. The fabric is soft and really held up well with my shopping trip!

I definitely recommend this tote!!

Everyone always thinks about gifts during the holiday season.. but let me clear something up..

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful for all the amazing people in my life.
My family, my friends, and our health.

I'm thankful for my amazing husband, he makes my life so complete. I don't know how I functioned without him.

I could be so sad, so upset and he always knows how to put a smile on my face. :)

I'm thankful for the time I did have with my mom and dad.. They were amazing parents. I'd do anything to have them back.. I love them so much.

I'm thankful for my baby sister.. who's turning 21 this Monday!! We use to fight like crazy, now we're best friends! My mom always said you'll be thankful you have a sister when we're gone (referring to herself and my dad) She was right :)
