Are You An Earth Diva? {Giveaway}

I was contacted by Earth Divas about doing a review and giveaway for their handbags. Almost all of their bags are made from hemp, they're made under fair trade conditions, oh and are extremely cute.

I was told I could pick out any bag I’d like to try out for the review. Wait, I can pick any handbag, no restrictions? *swoon* It literally took me 2 days of going through every handbag they have before making my choice.

Now funnily enough, I have been needing/wanting a new handbag but had yet to find something. Kind of weird, right? I like crossbody bags the best and while I do have a few I don’t have one that’s “just right”. What I want is a bag big enough to hold my stuff plus a water bottle or two, have lots of pockets to keep the crazy amount of stuff I “need” separate and most importantly be light when empty because it’s heavy enough after I fill it up. And if it’s new it needs to be fair trade and made from a sustainable fabric, which I feel is covered with an Earth Divas bag.

So after searching I found what looked like the perfect bag on their site. It had 2 outside pockets, 1 inside zip pocket and 2 inside pouch pockets. The shoulder strap is adjustable so I can make it as long or short as like and it said that it weighed less than 1 pound. Plus it has super cute embroidery on the front.

So I sent off that this is the one I’d like to try and hoped that it would be as great in person as it was online. Let me tell you, when this bag got here it did not disappoint.

It’s big and roomy, super light and super cute. So happy, in case you couldn’t tell by the ridiculously huge smile on my face.



I’ve used this bag for everyday errands and just yesterday got to test it out on a big trip when we went to the state fair. I could easily fit a Litter Free Lunch sandwich bag filled with peanut butter crackers, Tyler’s water bottle and my stuff all inside. I probably could have fit Dylan’s bottle too but that would just have been too heavy all day, good thing Todd wore cargo shorts.



Even after carrying that heavy bag all day I didn't have any neck or back pain like I've gotten with some crossbody bags. I think it had a lot to do with the fact that the bag itself was very light and that I could adjust the straps to make them just right for my short little self.

I am super happy with this bag, love what I've read about the company and would definitely recommend checking them out.
