Get Organized with YouCopia BakeStack ($39.99ARV) Review & Giveaway US 7/10-7/17

YouCopia believes that the home should work, so you can play, which means if every item has a place and every space has a purpose, your home is working for you. In 2006, Mark and Lauren Greenwood, a father-daughter duo founded YouCopia. Mark is an inventor with over 30 years of experience in housewares, hardware, pet and juvenile industries and has worked with product engineer Brian McLain to design and develop a concept that would be above and beyond the traditional meaning of a "spice rack".

YouCopia BakeStack

 YouCopia's BakeStack the only one of a kind in-cabinet organizer for baking accessories and tools. The BakeStack includes 18 easy-fit drawer dividers that provide hundreds of possible drawer configurations. BakeStack helps save you room in your cabinets, pantry and drawers by helping you organize and store all your sprinkles, icing, candles, cake tops, cookie cutters and more in three customizable drawers. No worry or stress of having to try and fit certain things in certain spaces and spots with this organizer as you get to customize each drawer yourself. 

Not in need of organizing baking supplies? It would also be a organizer for arts & crafts, scrap-booking, sewing and office supplies!

BakeStack will fit in all standard cabinets and it measures 10.9"D x 8.1"W x 8.1"H. The 18 drawer dividers included are, 3 vertical, 6 small horizontal, 3 each medium, large and x-large horizontal pieces. Multiple BakeStacks and other units can be stack on top of each other and they have non-skid feet to hold securely in place. There is no assembly required, aside from customizing your drawers how you'd like them. 


I often "lose" baking supplies as they get pushed behind other stuff and the children think they belong in the pantry playing with and rearranging everything. So I often have to rearrange my pantry and search high and low, front and back for things I need. 


I didn't think the large 8oz container of white sprinkles was going to fit, I thought it would be too large and not allow the drawer to close. I was pleasantly surprised when the drawer did in fact close very nicely! I love how I was able to customize each space in the drawer to fit the specific items I have and didn't have to leave anything out due to it not fitting in an already made slot.We had a ton more sprinkles, but through out the school year Jedilynn and I had great fun making and decorating cookies for her classmates.



Every now and then we will make Jello molds and such, if Cade sees the boxes of Jelly he HAS to have Jello right away, so this is a neat little hiding place for them. 

We have two packs of Holiday themed cupcake wrappers, which fit perfectly into the BakeStack. The Halloween stack has to have at least 100 wrappers and once again to my surprise they fit perfectly and allowed the drawer to close smoothly. 

I think my baking shelf looks so much better! There is also a bag of flour, sugar and some Among Friends Baking Mixes behind the boxes of mixes. The YouCopia BakeStack, fits perfectly on my pantry shelf and there is even room on top, which is where I ended up moving my large mixture of sprinkles and my frosting to. Helped clear up even more room. My baking shelf is a good 6" or more above my head, I really love how the drawers not only pull out, but then they also come down to steep slant for easy viewing of your items inside with out spilling out! 


Yes, my labels are most definitely written in orange crayon! I guess that is how classy you get to be with two toddlers and a 2nd grader. Seems like crayons is all I can ever find to write with. I'm not sure how long the bottom drawer will stay dedicated to holding cupcake papers/wrappers, but the great thing is, 18 labels came with this awesome 3 drawers BakeStack! More then enough to change labels if and when we need to! 

Our BakeStack is pretty empty, but Jedilynn and I had a lot of fun baking and decorating cookies and such through out this last school year. We will definitely need to stock up on some more baking supplies and I think we'll try some icing tools as well! 2nd grade baking will be so much fun!

NerdStyle Batman Flats Review & Winner's Choice Giveaway! US 7/10-7/17


About Sabrina & NerdStyle
Sabrina is the single mother to a sweet little boy and Army Reserves Medic behind NerdStyle. She also works nights at a Juvenile Behavior Therapy Placement Center as a Youth Counselor. She started NerdStyle working nights with a lot of time to kill, but nothing to do. A friend of Sabrina's wanted a pair of Doctor Who shoes, but after searching and not finding anything under $90 she decided, "Hey, I can make those. Not only can I make those, I can make them better and cheaper, and sparklier!". Then she thought, "Why not offer these sparkly shoes to everyone?! And offer them at a better price!". That's when NerdStyle started and Sabrina's imagination went wild designing all of the nerdy things that her and so many more awesome people, just like her love!

 Na-Na-Na-Na BATMAN Flats!



 Batman Flats?! Yes, definitely Batman flats! How amazing, hey?! I've never seen Batman flats before and was amazed to even find them!! These awesome Batman flats (ARV$33) have the Bat Symbol on the front, which is done in a graffiti type of style and a Bat Symbol on the back in a more traditional style. They have a smooth black finish and you can even customize them or add glitter!

Not only are these flats awesome because they are Batman flats, but Sabrina also carries her flats in wides! I was so nervous that I'd be out of an awesome pair of flats because I have wide feet, but she had wides and they fit! I've tried many different flats in wides and they never fit comfortably, however the flats from Sabrina are definitely comfortable and I could probably even wear them all day long! 

I usually wear mostly black, I'm quite the Tom Boy so bright girly colors just aren't me and flats are usually a no go for me as well, but of course I could not pass up a pair of Batman flats. Since I usually wear black these will go with nearly everything I wear! I also really dislike wearing shoes, but most of all socks and I don't like to show my feet/toes. Sandles are often to frilly and girly for me so it's either flip flops, flats or barefoot which is my absolute favorite, but unfortunately I can not go everywhere barefoot. These flats are great for me as I can carry them to the car and put them on before going into a store or restaurant and even comfortable enough for me to actually slip on before heading out the door. 

My wide feet fitting comfortably into NerdStyle flats!
More often then not, unfortunately, flats and other dressy or nice shoes start to dig into my skin leaving sore red marks and I'm just not the type of girl that believes "pain is beauty". The fact that these flats fit me comfortable and left behind no red marks or soreness left a little hope for me to still be able to add that small touch of girliness when going out. 

NerdStyle offers a variety of themes for her awesome and unique nerdy flats as well as offering them in a wide range of sizes including regular and wide widths. All that and reasonable prices? Didn't think it was possible huh?!
