The perfect sandals for any adventure this season!
Empty Provisions Footwear is an ethical line of footwear that is committed to designing and producing items that are sustainable, comfortable, and stylish. After noticing a gap in the market for shoes that are modern, cute, and durable while being kind to the environment, founder Chrissy Durden sought to create a brand that followed these goals and ideals. Every shoe is designed in Somerville, MA and crafted by hand in small batches in central Maine with the materials also being sourced locally.
I absolutely love these sandals! They are so comfortable and flexible and move with your feet. This is so important for me since I had my surgery last year and am still in recovery. The sandals stay securely on my feet. The design is simple and so pretty. The straps are very comfortable because they’re not stiff. They’re soft and flexible. I can not wait to live in these all summer long. They’re great for the beach, park, running to the store, and so much more. They’re the perfect sandal because they match everything and can be worn casually with shorts or dressy with a sun dress.

ReviewI received one of these beautiful totes and I am in love. This tote is so perfectly designed. There is so much room for an overnight or weekend getaway. It can easily double as a diaper bag as well. I love the handles and shoulder strap. They’re nice and wide and sit comfortably on the shoulder. The material of the tote is soft and the stitching is very professional. There is a large zipper to keep the bag closed. Inside are large pockets and a spot for a laptop or iPad. There is also a key strap inside to make finding keys easy. This tote makes a great gift for a man or woman. With Mother’s and Father’s Day coming, it would nice to give along with a spa gift card or weekend trip.

Retro Bag Leon Messenger Bag Review
I was sent this bag that I requested to review. It is a perfect crossbody for weekends and vacations. I hate being weighed down with purses and with my current situation, carrying a purse around isn’t easy. This retro bag is a nice light weight cross body with the perfect amount of room. It has a zip top and also a side zip pocket and a side snap pocket. There’s plenty of room and easy access to get my phone and keys. This bag is great for holding passports when traveling overseas. Available in four colors. Purchase link

Sun Patch is the only peel-and-stick UPF+ silicone sunblock on the market (UPF measures the amount of radiation that can penetrate fabric to reach your skin). Think of it as an accessory to your sunscreen. The patches feel like a second skin and have a California vibe that’s irresistible. They look like cool neon stickers in bright colors, with neutral options coming soon. Founder Gena was a mom looking for a solution to applying and reapplying suncare products on her kids, eliminating the fuss and mess. She also wanted protection and anti-aging benefits for herself too. The more she talked with other moms, the more she realized she had the perfect background to launch a sunblock brand. Hence, Sun Patch was born.
