Back to school is just around the corner, so now is the perfect time to pick up a new backpack for both work and play.

   Whether you work from home full-time, part-time, or on your own time, a functioning and comfortable office space is an absolute necessity.

 The school year has only just come to an end, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start thinking about back to school supplies. I know, you might think I’m crazy, but why not get some of the basics out of the way now so you’re not scrambling come the end of August. A great place to start is with one of these new backpacks from Best Buy.

 I love to bake, and have since my high school Home Economics teacher introduced me to scones many moons ago. I’ve been coveting a KitchenAid Stand Mixer for as long as I can remember.So I was beyond excited to take the newly released KitchenAid Artisan Mini for a test drive. 

 I read once that it’s not about “what you carry” but “how you carry it” and I couldn’t agree more. See, I have what some might call a bag fetish and am always adding to my collection. Whether you too have a weakness for bags of all kinds, or are simply looking for something practical and stylish to get you from point A to point B, I’ve got you covered with this round up of what I think are the best new bags for the season.

 Our refrigerators are where we keep all our perishable food, so it makes sense that they should be kept clean and tidy so food stays fresh and free of bacteria. But do you know how you should clean your fridge and how often? If not, don’t worry, because that’s exactly what I’m here to tell you.
