#backtoschool With This Leather Journal

I'm super excited to share with you a Leather Journal I got to review.

Where to Get it:

You can purchase this Leather Journal on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/Refillable-Notebook-Business-Sketching-Qiaofulicheerfully/dp/B07DC2HVL8 for $28.99.

Who to Get it For:

It's meant for women. I ask why? I know it's a dark maroon. Otherwise I could see it being for anyone. As soon as I told Isaak I was thinking of giving it to Travis for his 43rd birthday on the 30th he said, "Wow that's so cool Mom. You have the best ideas!" He takes notes, writes lists, sketches and draws out plans all the time. It's perfect for him!

Isaak wrote in the first page a Happy Birthday image.

Different Types of Paper:

I love how there are different types of paper in there. Each type of paper is good for something different.

Line Paper

To jot down notes, dreams, tasks, stories and so on.

Grid Paper

To draw sculpture ideas, garden plans, Lego creations, basketball moves and more.

Brown Craft Paper

To draw anything!

Size:

It's small: 4x6.7. Certainly it's great to take traveling, it won't take up very much room on the table, and it's easy to fit in a bag, or purse.

Are you a list taker, or sketcher?

Faux Leather Coat Review

It’s so hot, but Isaak wouldn’t take off his faux leather coat. I do have to say that he looks pretty stylish.

Sizes:

• 3T-4T
• 5-6
• 7-8
• 9-10
• 11-12
• 13-14

Both Mica and Isaak are super tall - in the 97%! Isaak's 10, but I got him a 13-14. It fits great! It will fit all of fall, and hopefully all of winter.

Front:

• The front has 2 pockets for gloves, hands tissues, or whatever else one would put in there. 

• Towards the top are 2 faux pockets. 

• The sleeves have elastic, which is great for putting over gloves when it's cold. 

• There's elastic on the bottom sides. 

• There's a metal zipper, which I love. Plastic ones seem so dinky! Everything is plastic now a days.

• There's a snap on the top of the coat.

Back:

• Towards the top are 2 faux pockets.

Colors:

• Black
• Brown
• Camouflage 

Isaak would have picked black, but they were out his size. He said, "I like that color too Mom. It goes with my football!" Neither of us cared for the camouflage.

Cost:

$19.99 to $25.49 - Prices range due to color, and size.

You can get it on Amazon here:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0744DWT2H?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title&th=1

Isaak thought it was for sure leather, but it says it's faux leather. If he thinks it's real leather that's great!

What color would you have picked?

Stepack Men's Genuine Crazy Horse Leather #Wallet

Isaak's in that stage where Mica was a few years ago. He's wanting more grown up looking things. So long cute shirts, and hello handsome looking shirts.

Goodbye kid homemade Duct Tape wallet

Welcome leather wallet

I got Stepack Men's Genuine Crazy Horse Leather Wallet to review:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KJQ8BX2.

Cost:

$20.99
On sale for $10.99 | Amazon Prime

Material:

• Crazy Horse Leather is made of a raw material is high quality full-grain leather cowhide. It's soft to the touch.

• It's rough, durable and vintage. 

• If scratches show up on the surface, it works! 

• Cleans up well with any leather cleaner and cloth. I have a leather cleaner for my couch that would work great for this wallet. 

• Just like any leather product it's best to keep the wallet away from water.

• Lots of pockets! I love the zipper pocket for change! The slots for cards are great as well. Right now Isaak has a library card he'd love to fit into his wallet.

Do you carry your stuff in a purse, wallet, diaper bag, backpack, or a fanny pack?

Sewing Leather Tools Review

I tend to look for arts and crafts that are great for boys. There just isn't a lot out there. Most of them are geared towards girls.

I was so happy that I got a Sewing Leather Tool Set to review: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDMB7H5! It's something Isaak will love for Christmas coming up. I'm going to get him a leather belt to work on.

15 Pieces Included:

I was thinking it would be a small kit with a few things. Nope! It's really full of stuff!

• All different needles: glovers needle, carpet needle, sail needle, straight upholstery needle, sack needle and 2 pieces of curved mattress needles 

• 3 Colors Flat Wax Rope: Black, Burnt Umber and Raw Siena 

• 1 x Adjustable Stitching Groover 

• 1 x Black pressure cloth tooth distance of 4 mm 

• 1 x Log pressure cloth tooth distance of 2 mm 

• 1 x Solid wood awl 1 x Straight head awl

• 1 x Hook the awl 

• 1 x Hollow awl 

• 1 x Scissors 

• 1 x Thimble 

• 1 x Beeswax 

• 2 x Finger cots

It also comes with a bag to fit the tools.

The whole set costs: $18.29 on Amazon Prime.

I think it's a great set for a beginner. Of course I'll help him figure it all out.

There are no metal stamps, but there's a variety of tools to make letters, or patters on your own. Certainly enough for personalizing your leather projects.

Would you buy someone a belt to begin using these tools, or just a slab of leather? 

Disclaimer: I received this set in exchange for writing this review. I was in no way influenced by anyone in regards to this review.

Leather Conditioner and Cleaner Review

Another product that I got from Leather Nova is Leather Conditioner and Cleaner. It's so nice to be able to clean and condition all at the same time. I don't have to use 2 products when I use this!

It comes with an application pad; just like all their other products. 

Other traits of Leather Nova Conditioner and Cleaner:

• It's made in USA. I like when products are made right here. 


• Their premium ingredients effectively remove dirt and stains from leather surface. I did have great success cleaning my leather sofa. Generally on the last cushion it gets hit the hardest with dirt. Isaak likes to cuddle with me on our couch. Since we have all wood floors, our feet pick up everything.


• Adds vital nutrients to nourish the leather and keep it soft and supple. The conditioner and cleaner made our leather just look newer.


• Protects leather from future tear and wear, Prevents premature drying or cracking.


• Manufacturer Guarantee: Leather Nova backs their products with a 365-day Money Back Guarantee, no matter where you buy our product. If you're not satisfied, simply contact us and get a full refund.


• It's non toxic, and environmental friendly. Allergy approved.

The cost isn't bad at all. Especially since you only need to buy the one product. It serves two functions: Cleans and Conditions. It's $29.95, and on sale for $19.95. Get it while it's on sale. I don't know about you, but when I've looked at other leather cleaners they are super expensive. It's good to know you can get what you need for a reasonable price.

It Cleans: 

Leather and vinyl surfaces (except Suede and Nubuck.)

What do you find yourself cleaning the most in your house?

 
 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Leather Conditioner & Restorer Review

If you haven't read the post before this, I strongly recommend you do so. It's a review of Leather Nova Leather Cleaner. Leather Nova also sent me Conditioner and Restorer. That's what this post is about. Ive been trying to do some fall cleaning each weekend. Last weekend it was time to clean our leather furniture.

It can be used to condition and restore all types of leather and vinyl surfaces.

It works on all the following:

• Interior car seats
• Motorcycle seats
• Sofas, couches, furniture
• Boots, shoes
• Wallets
• Purses
• Leather belts
• Saddles and other sporting and equestrian goods

I'll be using it mostly on my leather sofa, and sofa pillows. 

I like that all their products come with a rag, or sponge that is appropriate to use with the cleaner, or conditioner. I never know what to use exactly. This cleaner comes with a sponge. They have it covered. It's applied in a circular motion after the leather has been previously cleaned.

Here are the Before | After Shot

I think it did a really great job! It's wiped away all along the bottom of the couch.

It will not only protect new leather but restore old leather to near new condition. It also restores the natural smell of leather.

This product is great to touch up and restore existing leather material, as well as protect it against future damage. Applying the conditioner once a month is recommended for maintenance, especially to help make the leather material repellant against water.

Comes in an 18 oz spray bottle. It's sold on Amazon for $29.95, but is on sale for $15.97!

Fall cleaning just got better.

Not suitable for suede, nubuck or microfiber.

Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care Liniment No. 1 #Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

We have a leather sofa, and a fabric loveseat. I love leather because it's so easy to clean. Saying that, I should clean it more often.

I got Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care Liniment No. 1 to review. I didn't realize how dirty my sofa was until I started cleaning it.

Leather Care Liniment No. 1 is a milky, water-based natural leather care recipe containing some wonderful leather enriching ingredients. I was expecting to open the bottle, and have it smell bad. Nope, it didn't have much scent at all. A lot of scents are not good to take it. I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm pretty familiar with nasty chemicals used in things. I'm an art instructor, so I have to watch the ingredients in oil based products all the time. It's great that Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care doesn't have any nasty chemicals.

Their product contains oils that are lighter rather than heavier oil types. Because the product is water-based, it works as a cleaner as well. For leather items you just need a refreshed look, without using heavy oils and conditioners.

Some Ideas of Things Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care can be used on:

• Leather coats
• Bags
• Auto interiors
• Furniture
• Portfolio cases
• Boots
• Suitcases 
• *Really it can be used on all things that are leather

These are the kinds of things that are exposed to public and human touch on a regular basis. You can use Leather Care Liniment often, for a quick, effective, cleaning and revitalizing result.

Process:

1. Use a damp rag. Wipe the leather down.
2. Put Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care on their applicator, and apply. 

It's really that simple!

Before Using Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care 

Look at the top of the cushion. 

After Using Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care 

 The furniture got darker, richer looking. Many of the wear, stressed leather look went away.

Look at the Rag and the Applicator:

Just as milk is a primary nutrient for so much of animal and human life, so Chamberlain’s Leather Milk is for all things leather. 

Get this product today at Amazon. It was originally $24.95 and on sale for $18.95.

Giveaway Time: 

One of my US readers is going to win 1 bottle (the same one I reviewed) of Chamberlain’s Leather Milk.
