Out of This World!



How was everyone's weekend? I managed to see Endgame and survived that. I thought it was good! However it is 3.5 hours long including previews. I'm not sure I can sit through that again. It went by fast, but it is long! Also just finished watching tonight's episode of Game of Thrones! OMG that was way more intense than Endgame. Also hard to watch, not sure I can sit through it for a second viewing. It was brutal. 😭

So with that, I want to show you a couple of my most prized possessions. I love beautiful things and want to share two of my favorite mugs that I use everyday. I asked my husband, what should the title be for this post? His reply, "Things my husband doesn't want me spending money on." 😂

By the way, this is not a sponsored post. I just love supporting small businesses and artists.


This is a cosmic mug. It's pretty amazing. The artist is Joel Cherrico. My coworker introduced me to his artwork, and I eventually bought my first piece soon after, a cosmic mug. I've had this mug for over a year now. I paid $125 for it. A lot of people balk at his prices which I totally understand. Why buy a $125 mug when you can go to Target and buy one for $5? I'll argue that the cosmic mug is a piece of artwork. It's made by hand, and it isn't mass produced. Each one is unique. The colors and the glazing and the amount of time he's put into each one really shows. These photos really do not do it justice. 

Cosmic Mug



His prices have gone up since I bought my cosmic mug, but if you're patient he does have coupons and there's a sale going on now for Mother's Day. Last Christmas I asked my husband to buy me a moon mug. Joel's moon mugs are just gorgeous and I wanted one but couldn't afford to pay his full price of $495. He eventually had Christmas sale and my husband bought one for 60% off. I am really lucky to own one of these. 




I particularly really like the thumb pad. 


I drink out of his mugs every single day. I feel super lucky to be able to experience Joel's artwork. Maybe next Christmas I'll ask for a Mountain Mug!

What do you think? Is it crazy to drink out of a $500 mug? I will say I am super careful with my mugs. I definitely don't keep them around when my cats are tearing up the place!

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Did You Know There Are Two Different Ugg Companies? Review - UGG Lowmel

  So I was shocked when I learned a couple of months ago that there are actually two UGG brands. The original UGG since 1974 is the original Australian brand that are made from sheepskin. The other is an American company with the big G uses synthetic fabric and are made in China/Vietnam. Here are the two different logos.  The one the left with the big G in the middle is the company that's made in China/Vietnam. The one on the right is the original UGG since 1974. Each pair is made in Australia! I had no idea and feel so duped. I didn't learn this until after I bought the Lowmel's which are very popular at the moment. But I will order a pair from UGG since 1974 so I can support the original brand. Plus I really want to experience the real thing and I will report back my findings. 😅 That said, I still actually really like the Lowmels. UGG Lowmel Sand   Size Kids 4 I typically wear size 5.5 and I decided to try the kids size 4 which actually fit well, if just a smidge large...

First Impressions! On Cloudmonster Void

  Happy Friday! I've been branching out into other brands for footwear. I mentioned in a previous post I just don't think my Allbirds are cutting it anymore. Allbirds are more of a casual walking shoe. Anything over 10K, my feet start to hurt. I have tried Hokas, and they seem to be decent so far, I can walk 12K steps a day and haven't had issues. However, I am loving the On Cloudmoster Void even more! For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds which is my normal street size for sneakers and I am also wearing size 5.5 in On Cloudmonster Void. On CloudMonster Void Ivory | Wolf Size 5.5 (Currently on sale for 20% off -  $135) I'm not a huge fan of logos on my shoes. I decided on this colorway because I love the light gray and lilac combo and it does have a big On logo, but it blends in nicely with the colors. It still has a minimalistic vibe.  This shoe has a 6mm heel to toe shoe drop. This is a good height if you're a heel to toe striker which I am. This is...
