FineVine 30 Oz Handle for Yeti-Style Tumblers

This large handle by FineVine conveniently slides onto and fits on all 30 oz Yeti-style tumblers. I don’t have a Yeti, but I have an Ozark Trail and this handle is the perfect fit. I prefer these handles to the closed double handles with two rings that prevent your tumbler from fitting in your car cup holder. This one does. The single ring that slides onto the tumbler does not compromise the stability of the handle. The ring slides on securely and tightly and does not slide or move around once it’s on. I also like how the handle portion is curved and comes with a rubberized grip that is contoured to your fingers. It provides for a more secure grip and is ergonomic, providing a more comfortable holding experience even when the tumbler is full and heavy. The handle is surprisingly balanced.

Overall, I am satisfied with the quality and functionality of this tumbler handle attachment. My hands aren’t large and are pretty small, but I have had no problems with the handle being too large for me. I received this product for testing and use and this is my honest and unbiased review after extended evaluation.

4.5/5 Stars.

Wanderings Leather Notebook Journal


I enjoy collecting vintage and rustic looking items. This full grain leather bound journal by Wanderings is a nice addition to my collection of interesting real leather items. The journal is quite narrow, measuring 8.5”L x 4.25” W in dimensions and is quite thin. It contains 3 separate notebooks inside with 30 pages each (total of 90 pgs.). The pages themselves are made of good quality thick paper so if you’re using an ink or fountain pen, the ink won’t seep through onto the backside or opposite page.

The leather is a nice deep brown, the interior being unfinished while the exterior is nicely finished full grain leather. I did notice a lot of scratches on the leather upon receiving it, but I think with a little leather oil this can be somewhat remedied. The addition of the elastic band and the leather closure just gives it an additional charm while conveniently keeping your journal closed and safe. I often like to slip pieces of smaller notes and paper in my notebooks so this elastic band is a useful feature for me. You can also slip a pen between the band for convenience’s sake.

This journal makes a nice keepsake or an awesomely fashionable yet convenient notebook to jot down notes and things you want to write down on the fly. I’m a writer, lyricist, and artist, and sometimes inspiration and ideas just come when you least expect it. Since inspiration is fleeting, you can just quickly whip this journal out of your back pocket or purse and jot down your material before your forget it!

This leather bound notebook is actually similar to the more well known Midori Traveler’s Notebook and is the exact same size. You can always just purchase the Midori paper refills when your pages are filled. There are many kinds of refills for your preference such as blank (like this one), lined, graph paper, planner paper, etc.

Ultimately I’ve found this Leather Notebook Journal to be comparable in quality to the Midori Traveler’s Notebook but for a more reasonable price. It would also make a great gift to the close artists, writers, musicians, poets, etc., in your life who still appreciate the art of writing things down by hand. I look forward to more vintage traveler’s items from Wanderings. I received this leather journal notebook for testing and use and this is my honest and unbiased review.

5/5 Stars.

Attmu Silicone Travel Bottles

My family and I do a lot of traveling. We didn’t have any silicone bottles like these to carry our lotions and face creams, etc., and we would have to make do with whatever shampoos the hotel or place we were staying out would supply us with. We’d usually just used small plastic containers to store a small our lotions and creams. I received this 3 piece silicone bottle set by Attmu for testing purposes and this is my honest and unbiased review.

These silicone travel bottles by Attmu have an ingenious design. Molded of soft silicone, the bottles are easy to squeeze. There is a suction cup on each bottle so you can stick them on your bathroom stall or the mirror above the sink for super easy access. There’s also a rotating label head around the bottle opening so you can differentiate what you put inside the bottles, whether it’s a shampoo, a lotion, or a conditioner. The cap has a leak-safe design so the product only comes out when you squeeze. The silicone squirt design allows the product to stay in the bottle without leaking into the cap.
The three bottles are all different colors and different sizes, with the largest blue bottle having a capacity of 3 oz and the smallest pink one with a capacity of 1.25 oz. All the bottles arrived in a resealable zip vinyl bag so you don’t even need to put these in another toiletry bag.

I really like the design of these silicone bottles and am considering purchasing more for all my various creams, shampoos, serums, conditioners, etc. They’re really useful for organizing your bathroom and regular toiletry items even if you don’t travel. And if you happen to be traveling, you can throw these into your toiletry bag quickly and not worry about them bursting, exploding or squirting out or make a mess in your bag.
I highly recommend getting these Silicone Travel Bottles by Attmu. 5/5 Stars
