Back to School Pencil Pouches

Check out the cute pencil pouches in the So Sew Organized shop ...a popular item right now! I offered these last year as well, so there are a limited number available...and some have already been selling out this year already! Chandeliers , slim style Each pouch has two fun vintage-meets-chic fabrics. I can't pick a favourite! They also come in either a slim or boxed style. Clocks , slim style Vintage TV's , boxed style And even though I designed them with the right proportions to be a pencil pouch, these would be great for organizing lots of things - makeup, sewing supplies, nail files and clippers...you name it! Pink streamers , boxed style Vintage records , slim style...this is our most popular pouch! Quantities and styles are limited so reserve yours today . Once they are gone, they are gone! Which is your favourite, and what would you organize inside? Who do you know that would love one of these?

In the past few months I've been on a mission to discover and try some healthier options in my day-to-day routines. I have slowly been switching a lot of my personal care items to more natural options with less chemicals. I have seen great results and found some great products along the way! (Aaaand I know...I owe you an update post. Soon!) As part of this healthier journey I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review a fantastic product by a new company -  Criss Naturals  body butter!
