In last month’s post, I wrote about Zazzle Notebooks.  You can find that blog post here.

This post will be about notebooks from Red Bubble.  (On a side note, they also sell hard covered journal notebooks.) Hopefully you find this post helpful in getting an idea about what the spiral notebooks from Red Bubble are like.

The two spiral notebooks I bought from Red Bubble were Monster Bear and Orange Slice Fruit.

Here are the backs of the notebooks:

The nice thing about the Redbubble spiral notebooks is that there is a folder towards the back of the notebook.  This is super helpful for people like me who make notes for various reasons on loose paper and then shove it into the notebook, only to have the paper constantly fall out!

Redbubble also included a sticker.  The art work is by Sophie Corrigan.

Another bonus is that the Red Bubble spiral notebooks seem super durable.  I’m very hard on my notebooks.  Whenever I go somewhere where I know I’ll be sitting around for along time, I always bring a bag full of stuff to keep me entertained.  I’ve been known to accidentally rip the cover off of a notebook.

Luckily, I was able to bring the Red Bubble notebook back and forth in an over stuffed bag and it looks just like new! Yeah!

For those of you that are interested, here is how Red Bubble packages their notebooks:

I like the fact that each notebook comes in its own protective bag.  The box that Red Bubble uses is also very sturdy.  This  seems to help in protecting the notebooks during the delivery journey.

I’m note going to lie.  I also like the fact that Red Bubble includes a fun surprise sticker. It feels like I’m getting a bonus!

Just a heads up, if you’re frugal like me, but still love cute notebooks, Red Bubble does have good sales.  You can sign up for their emails or check their website.

Hopefully this post gives you some insight into what the spiral notebooks from Red Bubble are like.

In case you don’t know, Zipz shoes allows you to separate the cover from the base by unzipping them. The reason for this is since the covers come with different designs, you can get different looks without buying a new pair of shoes every time!

Unfortunately, you can’t buy just the covers from Zazzle. You have to buy the whole shoe. However, you can buy covers from Zipz website.

When I saw these, I knew that I had to buy a pair! For those of you that are interested, I bought the White Quarterfoil Pattern Black Background low tops from my Zazzle shop.

I will admit, when I first put them on I was worried that the zipper charm would cause a problem. Would it get caught on things? Would the charm make a continual clicking noise as I walked and become annoying? Would it keep hitting into my foot? Would things like dirt get in through the zipper? Would the shoes come apart when I didn’t want them to?

Luckily, the zipper charm hasn’t caught on anything. Yea! Also, the zipper charm is far enough up on the shoe, that it usually doesn’t click against the ground. The only problem I’ve run into with zipper charm was at the movies. Apparently, after I’ve been sitting for a while, I position my foot sideways and the zipper charm did prevent me from doing that once in a while.

These sneakers are surprisingly comfortable! The first time I wore them was to Blue Springs State Park to see the manatees. (For those of you who don’t know, the spring stays a constant seventy two degrees. So, during the Florida cold snaps in December and January, the manatees hang out in the springs when the St. Johns River and surrounding water get to cold.) After walking around the park and enjoying the manatees and other sights, we then went to nearby Deland for lunch and walking around the shops. Needless, to say a lot of walking was done that day.

I was concerned that since the shoes were new that they would hurt or cause blisters. Luckily, they didn’t. Yea!

I’ve also worn these walking around an outlet mall, to the movies and to the beach. So needless to say, I’ve worn them over a number of terrains. They’ve been comfortable each time.

Just a warning though, while walking on the beach, I did accidentally get my sneakers wet. Although water did not get into the shoe itself, since the cover is made of cloth, that part did get wet and due to that my sock did get a little damp. Luckily, they did dry quickly.

I was concerned that the zipper would come apart and the base would be constantly coming apart or dirt or other stuff would find their way in. However that is not the case. The base stays firmly attached to the cover.

Since I haven’t bought any covers, I haven’t had a reason to unzip the base from the cover. Nor can I say how easy it is to attach the covers to the base.

Over all, I would recommend these shoes if you are looking for a comfortable shoe that also looks good!

Pros

• very comfortable

• zipper does not come apart from the base unnecessarily

Cons

• Zazzle doesn’t sell covers, but you can buy them from the Zipz website.

• In certain situations, the zipper charm may cause discomfort
