Now that Summer is at its sweltering height, I am obsessed with cold drinks. I received a Sodastream for Christmas. At the time, I was slightly less than enchanted. My first thought was "Oh no, another appliance!" I have done a complete 180 and I am obsessed with it. There is nothing better than a cold fizzy drink in Summer. What is even better is knowing that I don't have to keep running to the grocery stores because I have an endless supply at home. As it was a gift, I don't know where it was purchased from but I know Bed Bath and Beyond has them.
We used to buy multiple bottles of fizzy water every week and switching to a Sodastream has saved us a significant amount. As well, it helps the environment as well as we don't have to worry about recycling all those empty bottles. You can buy all sorts of syrups to flavour the water but I prefer it plain. I think I may have to buy a couple more spare bottles as I go through the single bottle that comes with the Sodastream quite quickly.
Next up is my gorgeous Kate Spade crossbody bag. It was a gift from family. I had requested a crossbody bag as my shoulders were not taking kindly to having a heavy weight constantly dangling off one side. I was beginning to list to one side like a drunken sailor. However, I wanted one that looked stylish as many crossbody bags tend to have a more casual vibe. First of all, the packaging that it came in was so pretty. It was ordered from the Kate Spade website and delivered to Canada. Delivery time was approximately 2 weeks.
The tissue paper features the "spade" symbol in a repeating four leaf clover design.
I love my bag. It isn't overly large which keeps me from overstuffing it. I keep the essentials in it like my wallet and phone. There is one inner zipped side pocket. The adjustable strap is excellent quality. Oftentimes, the crossbody strap that comes with a bag is just an afterthought but this one has pretty, matching goldtone hardware and the strap itself is made of sturdy woven nylon.
I was surprised that it didn't come with a dustbag as my Kate Spade satchel came with one. Maybe nylon Kate Spade bags don't come with one? Anyway, I love it. It feels so comfortable to wear but still looks very stylish.
