During our recent travels, I have noticed that a growing number of restaurants are getting rid of plastic straws. We have all heard how those single-use straws are bad for the environment, so not using them is a step in the right direction. However, sometimes a straw comes in really handy. Enter the Zoku Pocket Straw!

The Zoku Pocket Straw is a reusable stainless steel straw that includes:

• 1 telescoping straw
• 1 carrying case
• 1 cleaning brush

I really like the simple design of this straw. It has a lightweight, “telescope” design which makes it compact and easy to carry on the go. I also appreciate how everything fits in the small carrying case, which features a loop hole for a key ring. The cleaning brush makes it easy to clean, and it is dishwasher-safe. It is also reassuring to know that this straw is BPA and phthalate free.

The Zoku Pocket Straw is available on the Zoku website, Amazon and Target.

Do you prefer your coffee hot or cold? I’m actually a fan of both, depending on what mood I am in. Within the past couple of years, I have been drinking more cold brew coffee at home. I enjoy the taste because it is smoother and less acidic than regular hot coffee.

The process to make cold brew coffee is fairly simple; all you have to do is add water to ground coffee, let it steep for about 12-18 hours and then strain the coffee grounds. However, my method was kind of messy, since I would use a large plastic container, a metal strainer, a coffee filter and a pitcher. There would often be spills or extra grounds that would sneak in to my coffee. Whether you have never tried making cold brew coffee at home, or you make it all of the time, the Zulay Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Maker streamlines the process. It makes cold brew coffee with minimal effort and mess!

I really like the quality of this cold brew coffee maker. It is made of thick and sturdy glass and stainless steel. The silicone seal at the top ensures freshness, and the silicone bottom provides a sturdy base.

It also features a beautiful, classic and neutral design which I appreciate. Isn’t it pretty?

To make cold brew coffee, all you have to do is fill the stainless steel filter with coffee grounds about 2/3 full. Add water to the 32 oz. line and let it sit in the refrigerator for 12-18 hours. Remove the filter and the cold brew coffee is ready to go in the carafe. It can then be stored in the refrigerator for later use if there is extra. So easy!

The cold brew coffee is pretty concentrated, so I like to add milk. You can also add non-dairy milk such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk, to taste.

The Zulay Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Maker can also be used to make hot coffee and hot or cold tea. Check out the rave reviews on Amazon!

Kawaii Box is THE subscription box to gift if you are in search of a present for someone who likes all things “kawaii” or “cute”. This Japanese subscription box is filled with fun surprises every month. I received the November 2019 box to review, and the theme was “Magical Kawaii Adventure!”

This Kawaii Box was filled with an assortment of whimsical products, some of which I will highlight below:

This fluffy, pastel octopus plushie comes with a key ring so you can attach it to a backpack, purse or bag. It can even be used as a Christmas ornament, as shown here.

When I first opened the box, I was not exactly sure what this was. Turns out it is a “Magical Anime Girl Wand”. It makes sounds and lights up when you wave it!

These glittery 3-D stickers are great for decorating letters and cards.

This sparkly mermaid hair clip would be an adorable accessory for a little girl.

Additional items in the November Kawaii Box included:

• Magical Bunny Pastel Gift Bag
• Magical Wish Notes in a Bottle
• Metallic Mermaid Tail Pen
• Meito Pukupukutai Yumekawa Wafer Snack
• Unicorn Heroine Pocket Mirror

A Kawaii Box subscription can be purchased for 1 month, 6 months, or 12 months and ranges from $19.90/month-$21.90/month. The subscription price includes free world-wide shipping, which is a good deal!
