I Love A Good Story

Eat Cereal, Make Handbag

gojibag1 Now, I’m more shop-a-holic than health nut. Obvs. Alas, bargain hunting often requires as much fuel as a hard core workout, particularly when you’re as ruthless as I am.

If Wheaties is the breakfast of champions, [me] & goji is the breakfast of everyone - exercise enthusiasts and fab fashionistas alike.

This make-your-own-cereal company - the brainchild of some studly former NU soccer dudes - is basically fun in a box (or in this case, a cylindrical, artfully designed capsule). gojibagAnd the fun doesn’t stop after you’ve created, named (mine was “Wake the Eff Up”), and consumed your custom artisanal grains, nuts and berries. Then, you get to take your empty capsule, indulge your closet penchant for arts and crafts, turn it into a handbag, and win free cereal.

Pretty effing sweet right?! All it took was some leftover gift wrap, a roll of electrical tape and a pair of scissors. (Full disclosure: I used a very large, scary kitchen knife to poke holes in the capsule. Expert crafters only).

It’s amazing what you can do after a balanced breakfast.
