Everyday Bag Essentials with ToteSavvy & Day Designer

by ToteSavvy Team on Oct 05, 2023
When it comes to your everyday bag, there are a few essential items that you should always have on hand. Whether you're heading to work, running errands, or headed to the coffee shop, these items will ensure that you're prepared for anything that comes your way. ToteSavvy Deluxe Bag Organizer First things first, of course you need a ToteSavvy Bag Organizer for your everyday tote! We love using the Deluxe, because it offers a variety of pockets for your everyday essentials, a zippered cooler pocket for your lunch & snacks, and a plush-lined pocket for your laptop or tablet. Your most-loved and our most popular bag combo with the Deluxe is the Marc Jacobs Tote Bag--Large. The Day Designer Planner & Notepad Once you have a ToteSavvy Bag Organizer to help organize your bag, you definitely need a Day Designer Planner & Notebook to help organize your life. The Day Designer has so many different options to choose from (and the cutest of patterns, too!) so you can stay organized and keep on track during your week. Pens & Highlighters There's just something about using pretty pens and highlighters in your planner and for taking notes that makes the world a happier place! These pens & highlighters are an amazing quality, and they're an Amazon find, so they're super budget-friendly, too. Toss a few (or them all!) in your bag, and you're ready to crush your goals. Laptop & Chargers Whether you work on-the-go, the office, or you're headed to the coffee shop for a brainstorm session, be sure to grab your laptop and any chargers you may need. Don't forget your phone charger or your AirPods for those days you're especially productive and need an extra charge or a music mood boost! Pain Relievers & Hand Sanitizer  Headaches or muscle pains can strike at any time, causing discomfort and hindering your productivity. Keep your most used pain relievers and medicines in your bag for quick relief when needed. In addition to your meds, now that fall is ramping up, germs are lurking everywhere, and it's essential to prioritize hygiene. Carry a travel-sized hand sanitizer in your bag to keep your hands clean and germ-free. Lunch/Snacks When hunger strikes, having a stash of healthy snacks in your bag can save you from reaching for unhealthy options. Pack some nuts, granola bars, or fresh fruit to keep your energy levels up throughout the day. You can keep these in the ToteSavvy Deluxe's zippered cooler pocket to keep them fresh or chilled! Small Clear Pouch Makeup Bag For any makeup touch ups throughout the day, pack your beauty essentials in a ToteSavvy Clear Pouch. The Small will easily fit into the center of your ToteSavvy or in a free pocket. Remember, the contents of your everyday bag may vary depending on your personal needs and lifestyle. However, these essentials are a great starting point to ensure that you're prepared for whatever the day throws at you. Stay organized and have a stylish and productive day!

Diaper Bag Checklist with ToteSavvy

Diaper Bag Checklist with ToteSavvy

by ToteSavvy Team on Aug 01, 2023
Are you a new parent or soon-to-be parent? One essential item you'll need is a diaper bag. But what should you pack in it? We've got you covered with our diaper bag checklist to ensure you have everything you need for a successful outing with your little one. Stylish Diaper Bag & ToteSavvy Bag Organizer If you're new to ToteSavvy, let me introduce you to a life-changing product--the ToteSavvy Bag Organizer. When a traditional diaper bag or diaper bag backpack isn't your style, a ToteSavvy Bag Organizer can transform any handbag or tote into a stylish and functional diaper bag. Shown in this post is our Deluxe Bag Organizer with a double-wide cooler pocket. We also offer our ToteSavvy Original and the  ToteSavvy Mini. All are amazing options for organizing your diaper bag--it just depends on the functionality you need and sizing of your bag. Our most requested bag & organizer combination to use for a diaper bag is the ToteSavvy Deluxe and the Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag. It has been a viral bag combo, and we get so excited knowing you love it as much as we do! Diapers It goes without saying that diapers are a must-have in your diaper bag. Pack enough diapers to last for the duration of your outing, plus a few extras, just in case. Remember, it's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared! Wipes Wipes are a lifesaver when it comes to cleaning up messes. Make sure to pack a travel-sized pack of wipes in your diaper bag. They're perfect for quick diaper changes or wiping sticky hands and faces. Changing Pad Don't forget to include a portable changing pad in your diaper bag--the amazing thing is, all ToteSavvy Bag Organizers come with a changing pad! This handy item provides a clean surface for diaper changes, no matter where you are. Diaper Rash Cream Diaper rash can be uncomfortable for your little one. Be prepared by packing a small tube of diaper rash cream in your bag. It will provide instant relief and help prevent further irritation. Hand Sanitizer For after those on-the-go diaper changes you'll want a little hand sanitizer. Grab your favorite and be sure it's always in your bag! Tissues We're suckers for cute slim tissue packs, but boy do they come in handy. Whether your little one has a runny nose, you need to wipe away their tears, or you need a tissue yourself, a small pack always comes in handy. Teethers & Paci Clips Teethers and pacifiers can be a lifesaver when your baby needs soothing. Pack a couple of pacifiers on a paci clip and a teether or two in a Small Clear Pouch to keep them clean in your diaper bag and you'll have a secret weapon packed away when your little one needs calming while on-the-go. Spare Outfit Accidents happen, and it's always a good idea to have a change of clothes on hand. Pack a spare outfit for your baby, including a onesie, pants, socks, and a hat. You'll thank yourself later! We love these onesies from Goumi! Swaddle Blanket Whether you're swaddling your little one or you need a light-weight blanket, we love Harp Angel Swaddle blankets.  Wet Bag There's nothing worse than having a soaked through outfit or oh, gosh, a blow out filled onesie and having no where to put it while you're out. A wet bag comes in handy with those stinky outfits or even a swimsuit if you're headed to the pool or beach. Simply throw the wet/soiled clothes in the wet bag, and the wet bag will protect everything else from getting dirty/wet until you get home! Bottles & Formula If you're bottle-feeding your baby, don't forget to pack bottles and formula/breastmilk in your diaper bag. The ToteSavvy Deluxe has a double-wide cooler pocket that works wonders when transporting formula or breastmilk. We suggest popping in a small ice pack to keep your formula or breastmilk chilled. Snacks If your baby has started eating solid foods, pack some age-appropriate snacks in your diaper bag. This way, you'll always have a healthy option on hand when hunger strikes. Don't forget about a drink and a snack for yourself, too! First Aid Kit & Pill Container No matter how short the outing, an accident can always happen. Keep a travel first aid kit filled with band aids and first aid cream and pill container with extra medicines for yourself in your diaper bag. Key Fob Cover & Card Holder A key fob cover isn't an essential, but it sure does make your keys cute! What is an essential though is a card holder. Slim down your wallet and utilize a stylish card holder. It clips perfectly to the key clasp on a ToteSavvy Bag Organizer so there's no searching for your keys at the bottom of your bag. If you find yourself heading out without your little one, you can grab your keys and card holder and head out the door! Pin Me For Later! Shop the Post!

6 Ways To Pack The Deluxe Cooler Pocket

by ToteSavvy Team on Feb 28, 2023
The Deluxe zippered cooler pocket is a fan-favorite because there are so many ways to use it! Whether you're on-the-go with your little ones, headed to work, or you're out for the day yourself, we wanted to give you six practical ways you can pack the cooler pocket. Pack your lunch // You can fit a LunchBots Bento Box and can of sparkling water perfectly. There's plenty of space to add a protein bar and ice pack as well! Pack your breakfast // Depending on your daily routine--if you find yourself eating your breakfast on-the-go, you can pack a yogurt, can/bottle of water or even a canned coffee along with an ice pack. It's so convenient to have breakfast with you so there's no need to stop anywhere! Pack 3 Cans // Are you headed out for an adventure? You can fit 3-4 cans comfortably in the cooler pocket. Say hello to easy packing when it comes to your summer beach tote and you want to bring along a few spiked seltzers and waters to the beach! Pack bottles // If you're headed out for an afternoon or evening, pack a few bottles for your little one. Be sure to add an ice pack--the cooler pocket will help them stay cool, but you always want to be safe when traveling with formula or breastmilk. Depending on the style of bottles your little ones uses, you can fit 2 Phillips Advent style bottles comfortably, 3 is a tight fit as these are a wider style bottle. If you have thinner bottles like Dr. Brown's, you can fit 3 across. Pack your toddler's favorite snacks // If you'll be out and about with your toddler, you know they need an endless supply of snacks! You can pack their sippy cup, pouches, and snack bars, and more! If your little one opens but doesn't finish one of their pouches, you can put it back in the insulated cooler pocket to keep it cool. Pack your medication // This was a follower suggested idea that we loved and wanted to share--so thank you for this brilliant idea! If you find that you need to keep your refrigerated medications with you throughout the day, the cooler pocket can keep them cool along with an ice pack. How do you use the cooler pocket?!

10 Must Haves For Your Baby Registry

by ToteSavvy Team on Feb 22, 2023
It's always a struggle to know what you actually need for your little one, and building a baby registry can honestly be intimating when there are so many baby products out there to go through. We're a team of Mamas who have tested, used, and love these products. We want to save you the time and the guess work and give you some of the reasons why we love these products and know you will, too! ToteSavvy Bag Organizer Every Mama--both new and seasoned should have a ToteSavvy Bag Organizer. Here's why: As Mamas, we sacrifice and give up enough--our bodies, our sleep, our sanity...the list goes on, but one thing we shouldn't sacrifice is our personal style. Stay true to who you are, yes, even when you become a Mama, and rock your favorite handbag or tote as your baby bag! Now you might be thinking that sounds so impractical. Well, that's where the ToteSavvy Bag Organizer comes in! Our Bag Organizers were made by a Mama who couldn't find a way to organize her favorite bags, so she made a way so we could all find happiness in using our bags in motherhood. The pockets are designed to keep your essentials and your little one's essentials organized and secure. The varied pocket sizes make the perfect fit for everyday essentials like your wallet, change of clothes, diapers and wipes in the larger pockets, and lip balm, AirPods, etc. in the smaller pockets. The Deluxe Organizer features a zippered cooler pocket and the Original and Mini feature a single cooler pocket. With either organizer, you can bring along a bottle, sippy cup, or even snacks and keep them in the insulated pocket. January Moon Teethers & Paci Clips These gorgeous Teethers and Paci Clips will be loved by both you and your little one. They are made with premium materials that include 100% non-toxic silicone, Japanese rope, and safety compliant metal. The Paci Clips hook to your little one's favorite paci, while also providing a soothing teether and sensory play while you're at home or out on the go. Same as the teethers--a convenient way to soothe your little one's gums and provide a little comfort when they need it most. EllaOla Baby Skincare When it comes to choosing skincare for your little one, you want it to be the absolute best made with the highest-quality of ingredients. EllaOla is USDA Organic Certified, and all of the ingredients that are in the lotions, body washes, and oils are ingredients you can pronounce and you know! The lotions and oils help hydrate and nourish your little one's skin without fragrances, essential oils or parabens or irritating their skin. Know when you choose to use EllaOla for your little one, you're choosing a brand that cares about what is in their products, because they want the best for your little one just as much as you do. ToteSavvy Travel Clothing Organizer Make every trip a little less chaotic with ToteSavvy Travel. The separate mesh pockets fit individual outfits, making it quick and easy for you or your child to grab what they need without disturbing anything else. The organizer includes 6 mesh pockets, 2 clear zipper pockets, a large garment section on the reverse side, and a swivel hook to hang from a closet rod or door knob. ToteSavvy Travel folds in half and is secured with two Velcro tabs for compact storage. The garment section fits a child size hanger. Organizer sized for newborn - 5T clothing. Check out this post on 3 Ways To Use The ToteSavvy Travel Clothing Organizer. You'll be surprised on how many ways you can use it--not just for travel! Nuna Car Seat and Stroller Travel System The Nuna is a ToteSavvy founder favorite--in fact, our team loves the Nuna. From the versatility, comfort, and innovative safety, there's so much to love about it. The extendable canopy that offers UPF 50+ protection is loved by both parents and littles. The stroller also conveniently folds up and is compact for easy stowaway in the car! As if that's not enough, did we also mention how stylish it is?! Just imagine your favorite tote hanging off a stroller hook with a ToteSavvy Bag Organizer inside--pure perfection as you head into motherhood! ToteSavvy Clear Pouch Trio Set Let me introduce you to your new favorite set of travel accessories. If you love staying organized while on-the-go or even every day when you're at home, then you will love this Clear Pouch Trio Set. They're made with a clear TPU material, trimmed with cream-colored vegan leather and a gold zipper. The pouches are water-resistant and can be wiped clean. Not only can you use them to pack toiletries for you and your little one, you can use them for diapers, wipes, spare clothes, and anything else you might need for baby. We love to use the small pouch in our everyday bag for makeup or even teethers and spare pacis for your little one. If you follow up on Instagram, you've seen the popular Toddler Car Kit with the Clear Pouch Trio Set--such a genius way to use them for your toddler! Boppy Pillow The Boppy Pillow can be used in so many different ways during different stages for your newborn. Whether you're nursing your sweet one or bottle feeding, it's amazing for support during feeding. Once they're a little bigger around three months old, you can use it to prop them up. The best is when they move to tummy time and try so hard to keep their head up. Then, once they've grown up oh so fast, you can use the Boppy Pillow to help them sit up. There are so many cute cover patterns, too, and having an extra cover or two is always helpful! Always remember--Boppy Pillows are never for sleep, and you should always be with your little one while using it. EllaOla Brush & Comb Set This is the cutest set that can be used from newborn through childhood. The super soft brush is made with 100% goat hair, so it can help gently brush away cradle cap and dry skin. The Massage Hair Brush is made with natural bamboo and can be used dry or wet (perfect for after bath time!) and helps to massage the scalp and promote circulation. The Rounded Bamboo Comb helps to detangle your little one's hair. All three combined create a mini spa experience for your little one right at home. The sizing is also great for everyday use and for travel! Halo Baby Bassinet Mamas--if you're looking for bassinet that allows you to sleep next to your little one, the Halo Bassinet swivels right over your bed giving you an extra close, safe sleep. One of the best features is the lowering wall that is also lockable when not in use. It's perfect for that first month or so postpartum when moving around is still a challenge--especially if you've just had a c-section. The mesh walls also give you peace of mind knowing they're breathable and safe for your little one. A fitted sheet and mattress is included, though, we recommend grabbing a few extra Halo sheets for those middle of the night blowouts and spit ups. It's honestly game changing to have a few spare sheets ready to go. Nanit Baby Monitor When it comes to your baby's sleep, monitoring them while you're away from them is always top of mind. Think about how many times you've stared at a baby to make sure they're breathing or felt under their nose to make sure you feel air, because they're in a deep sleep, and they barely move. We've all been there as parents, but the Nanit gives parents peace of mind, so you can set the monitor and let your little one sleep so you can get a little sleep, too. The breathing pattern, whether it's the included band wrapped and secured, the swaddle, or pajamas, will track your little one's breathing. It will show their breathing patterns, sleep trends, how often they wake up in the middle of the night, and even send noise alerts when they wake up. If you have two little ones, the Nanit also offers split screen so you can see two littles at once! It's perfect if you have an infant and a toddler or even twins. It's innovative technology that makes your life as a parent easier, so you can worry less about your sweet little one and enjoy as much of a restful sleep that you can.   What are your must-haves for a baby registry?

A successful day starts with being organized, so we're sharing how we organize our work bag, and a few of our favorite essentials we know you'll love, too! Our ToteSavvy Deluxe Bag Organizer is a fan-favorite to use as a work bag organizer turning your favorite tote or handbag into your dream (and organized!) work bag. The plush-lined laptop pocket holds up to a 13" laptop so you can safely bring your laptop wherever work takes you. The zippered cooler pocket is perfect for your lunch and snacks. We love using a  LunchBots Bento Box for our lunch and/or snacks. You can pop it in the fridge at work or keep it in the cooler pocket with an ice pack while you're out and about. The Deluxe Bag Organizer has so many various-sized pockets perfect for other essentials like your laptop and phone chargers, portable charger, your phone in the phone pocket for easy access, AirPods, water bottle, keys and card holder on the key ring, highlighters, and planners and notepads, too! Another essential we love is the Clear Pouch Trio Set. The Small Pouch is perfect for bringing along any touch up makeup before your big meeting (everyone is always extra confident with a fresh lippie!) or maybe you're headed for a night out with the girls after work. You could even use the Small Pouch for pens, highlighters, paper clips or small office supplies while you're on the go. The ToteSavvy Deluxe & Small Clear Pouch is shown in the Madewell Transport Tote. No matter what your work day brings, stay organized with ToteSavvy, and go crush your yearly goals!
