The Ultimate Laptop Bag

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

We are forever trying to find the perfect bag to suit everyone's needs and this one is pretty high on our list. This is a great backpack for toting your computer or computers around with you. Think remote learner, distance learner, college, work, home. It needs to make transporting your computer equipment easy while keeping high priced items safe. 

In reality I could transport my full size laptop computer, my daughters smaller school notebook computer, and both of our tablets safely all in this one bag and still have room for books, pens, pencils, and notebooks. If you hook up a power bank to the included built in USB port you have charging ability for tablets and cell phones which is nice to have on hand as well. 

This bag from Insavant is also water resistant and considered Anti Theft. It has so many extras side pockets for water bottles, a hidden anti theft area, key ring, sunglass holder, card compartment, luggage strap, etc. I love that the bag is padded so that you don't have a hard computer jutting into your back, which protects both wearer and items inside. This bag has just about everything you need to get your computer and other items from point A to point B safely. Check out all of my pictures below.

I really could go on and on about this bag. One of the other things I love about this bag is the padded handle, this is very important to me so that I can grab and go. Even though I love this bag dearly my daughter has called this for her own unless my husband takes it first. I guess we might need to get a few more to make everyone happy. Like I said there is a lot to love with this bag. 

 

Bumble Road

One of my favorite ways to relax in the evening is to take a nice warm bath. While in the tub I usually read, watch a movie, or just sit back and unwind with a cup of tea. In my water I like to use bath oils, bubble baths, and Bath Bombs like these from Bumble Road. These Bath Bombs are made with epsom salts and essential oils for a nice relaxing scented bath.

Bath bombs are great because you can just add them to the water and they do all the work on their own. They are also fun to watch or play with while they are fizzing in the tub. These bath bombs do color the water slightly but so far have not stained my tub that is a big thing to take into consideration. 

With this set you get 4 different scents to keep for yourself or give as a gift. You can even split them up and make 4 gifts out of them by designing a basket around each scent or color. 

The Bumble Road Bath Bombs can be found on my affiliate link below.

Skinny Tie

I don't really put ties like this in the men's department only area because even women and teen girls can make a tie like this look good.

Brings back memories of the 80's and too me the look with wearing ties still fits in well with both work, and casual looks.

This tie is quite nice and even caught the eye of my 18 year old daughter who was  very interested in it. Glad I didn't get the orange tie because she would have called it for her own.

The Skinny tie is a much narrower tie then most ties and fits well in both men and women's fashion. This tie is available in many colors.

You can find this tie in many colors on amazon.

Be Prepared Period

Being a women, even if you have a regular menstrual cycle, there can always be a surprise. For tweens who have started theirs yet this is great to have on hand just in case. Think backpack, purse, locker, sports bag, etc.

This of course is a cute little starter kit that you can fill with whatever items you need. This is also a good item that can be made at home with a little makeup bag, then fill with things you might need for that time. I think a little bar of chocolate wouldn't be bad to add to the kit.

Adult Coloring Books

I have always loved to color, although I don't color nearly as well as my husband (he is so creative), I have yearned for a more intricate coloring book and this was just perfect for both myself, my older daughter, and husband.

Tattoos for Everyone

Looking for a fun new way to let your little ones try out some tattoo's? This might be a new option for you if you have a few extra minutes to help them out. They an take the templates and make their own creations. So many colors to choose from each tattoo will be unique to them because they make them.

Yes it is OK if the adults want to try on a few too, we won't tell. Great for sleepovers, teen parties, family get togethers, etc.

I love that it came with so many pieces, there is sure to be something for everyone. Enough supplies to make many tattoos. My 12 year old was able to do this on her own while my 7 year old needed a bit of help to remember the steps. Results were better than I expected which means no unhappy children.

Two times the fun

Sensei Cube is a great cube for those who like to solve Rubic type cubes quickly as it is lubricated for quicker turns. For our family it is just a fun cube to try and solve.

My oldest child was the only one in our family to actually solve the cube and continued to do so until he could do it quicker each time. Matter of fact when there is a new cube like puzzle out there we usually buy him one if he hasn't already bought one of his own.

This set however I kept for the younger children to play with and I took the mini cube to have in my purse for times when we are out and about waiting for an appointment or for when the kids get board so they have something to keep them busy. The small cube is also great to attach to backpacks for kids to have something to do on ride to school.

I really like that this came with a pouch, it protects it from dings scratches when it is't being played with.

You can buy the Sensei cube on Amazon.

XTRA-Fun with Bic

Back to school shopping is always fun. This year it is more of a challenge because we don't have much money. It is actually a little worse then that, but thankfully I blog and that has helped out with some of the things the kids need. 

I like to let them choose a few fun things to have that they don't need but are just fun. That was a bit harder this year but we were able to get a few surprises for them, including these new Big Xtra-Fun #2 pencils. 

They work like they say, they sharpen well, the leads don't break, erase easily, and are super fun for the both the children as well as myself. Yes even moms like to have cool writing instruments from time to time. Who couldn't use a little Xtra-Fun in their day?

#spacecatslovecheeseburgers

My daughter was very excited when the space cats love cheeseburgers leggings came in from Legz Unlimited.

I know I couldn't pull these pants off but she sure can, kind of wish they made them in sizes for my 7 year old. These silky king of leggings seem to be in style right now, but hard to find.

We have seen them in the mall and now online, so we can shop from the quietness of our home. She says she would like a few more pair like this for school, so look like they are a winner.

What she likes most about the leggings is that they have no tags. Tags are big bother to my daughter and something she had ripped and cut of our her clothing ever since she would use scissors. I am so glad to see companies making more clothing without tags that way my daughter doesn't chance ruining any outfits because of the tags. The fit was perfect for my daughter she is 12 and the large fit her just right.

You can purchase Legs Unlimted #spacecatslovecheeseburgers on Amazon.
