Cuddly Monkey tote bag review plus a giveaway


I know you are probably wondering what exactly is Cuddly Monkey. The name alone had me intrigued and when I found out they were a tote bag company I couldn't resist visiting their site.
"Cuddly Monkey was born in the heart of Soho in the design studio of Stag&Hare, a team of brand strategists and designers with a passion for creating and exploring. The current selection of totes range from $68 to $94 retail value".-Cuddly Monkey 
Cuddly Monkey recently came out with a new selection of tote bags that are stylish and functional. The outside is made with 100% cotton canvas and the inside linings have fun designs that are eye catching and they complete the fun styles of the bags.

The Goddess tote
Isn't this lining the cutest. I love the POP of color it brings to the bag.
If you are obsessed a lover of bags such as I am you will love these tote bags. I chose the Goddess bag and wow is this thing huge! But not too big that I can't use it. There is a fine line between big bags and overly big bags that are really just for show and not daily use.
When traveling long distances or even to the park for a picnic, I have a habit of throwing every thing I own into my bags and with three kids that go with me everywhere that tends to be a lot of stuff. Most tote bags do not hold every thing I want to bring and I some times end up bring two, possibly even three bags with me but the Goddess bag holds it all. I did a test run and I was able to fit lunches for four, drinks, my camera, wallet, two phones, makeup, diapers and wipes and still have room! These bags are perfect for little outings and still cute enough and completely versatile to use as an every day bag.

Today I am giving one Goddess tote bag from Cuddly Monkey to one of my readers, yay!
