Sometimes, the thought of natural living can be overwhelming, especially when one is first starting out.. When I first started, it was not until I began my family, got pregnant with my first son and moved to San Diego. I made my transition slowly and had to make my purchases from many different stores to find just what I was looking for. Boy, how I wish I had known about Abe’s Market then! Their website would have saved me a whole lot of time, energy and money.
Now, even though I have most of the basics taken care of, I still need to replace and keep up with my family’s usage. This is where Abe’s Market comes in handy for me! They carry so many natural products for kids and adults, for the home, office or school and even for pets! Abe’s Market is definitely my #1 stop when I need natural products!
I just love their wide selection and that I can trust that the products that I find on the Abe’s Market website to be truly safe and natural and of the highest quality for myself and my family!
I had the opportunity to look around the Abe’s Market website and choose something to review.. It took me quite a while to choose because they have so many products that appeal to me. I knew I wanted to replace something I use regularly that wasn’t natural with something that was. Sometimes, I don’t think about what’s natural, unless it’s with my foods or body care products.. But really, we need to think about everything that we own and consider replacing what we use most with products that are safe for us, our kids and the environment!
That is why I chose the Recycled Instinctive Back Pack. I had a pack I used with the boys all the time, from overnighters at Grandma’s to trips to the park or beach.. Our old pack was just a regular one, not made with recycled or reused materials and {probably} filled with chemicals that I would wish to avoid. The Instinctive brand is highly-trusted for creating high-quality bags made with 100% recycled materials.
Sleek and stylish yet wonderfully spacious. The Instinctive Approaching Pack is the pack that keeps on giving. It will provide a lifetime of comfort with the peace of mind that comes with helping the environment.Instinctive bags are made from 100% recycled 600 D polyester, hardware, and webbing so they are better for the environment and help you complete the loop. When you decide you want a different style, simply return your bag direct to Instinctive for a new one at a discounted price, and your old bag will be responsibly recycled or redistributed to someone in need. Dedicated to high quality packs that are better for you and the environment, Instinctive is doing its part. With 2 large compartments, a padded laptop sleeve, reinforced and waterproof base, and adjustable comfortable shoulder straps, the Instinctive Approaching pack is designed with you in mind.
I am incredibly impressed with my new Instinctive pack and am very happy with my decision to replace our own one! Now, I carry this one around all the time now and aside from being made from 100% recycled materials, it is also super cute (in the Bamplaidboo print) and great for anyone, young or old! I love that the pack has so much room but is also very sleek and well-distributed. I had it all packed up for our trip to Seattle last weekend (see above pic) and even though it was stuffed, it was not that heavy once I got it on my back. The thick, padded shoulder straps were to thank for that! Also, the recycled fabric is extremely thick and durable and I know that it will last a long while, even with young kids!
Also, I appreciate that it has a padded laptop sleeve inside because when I need it, it’s there.. Most of the time, I use the sleeve as a pocket for diapers and wipes but for my Seattle trip, I was able to keep the laptop protected in there very easily and not worry about it getting bumped! Having this sleeve ensure longer, more varied use of the bag. It is a great pack for me now, hauling my boys things in, but it would be just as great for a high school or college student, carrying items for class.. Instinctive definitely thought of everything when designing their bags!
It is important for me to give the best products possible to my family, especially my kids as the grow, and to instill in them the importance of living naturally. Abe’s Market helps make my life easier and I love them for that!
When I need something for everyday use or for a special occasion, I know that I can trust Abe’s Market to be there, providing the best natural products at amazing prices!
