Good Sized Lunch Bag For Multiple Uses



Being on the road a lot, although we are on the road more now for different things than in the past, my husband and I often carry along with us snacks and sometimes our lunches. It's really important to have things to make sure his sugar levels stay at a constant rate or don't spike or drop dangerously. So I was excited about trying out this new Dual Compartment Insulated Lunch Bag by Sacko.


This is a really nice lunch bag. It has two compartments that make it easy to keep things separated. Each compartment is insulated, so hot things stay hot, and cold things stay cold. You can place things in the top part that you don't want crushed by the larger things you place in the bottom compartment, things like crackers and grapes. For us, it's perfect to keep his insulin in, staying nice and cold, but not mixed in with our lunch or snacks.


The bag is good sized too. It's great to carry two people's lunch or someone who needs to carry along extra drinks, like a construction worker. The bottom compartment can hold up to 6 cans or small bottles easily! And you have room to put a few other things in with them. The top is plenty big to hold two sandwiches, and there is a small pocket/pouch on the front to hold napkins or utensils. Add the two pockets/pouches on each of the short sides, and you have ample room to take quite a bit with you!


The lunch bag has a small handle on the top to carry it with, or you can use the adjustable strap to carry it. Even when full, this lunch bag is not heavy. It is well enough insulated to keep drinks and food cool for a long time too.


Really nice, good sized lunch bag! I think it would be great for a lot of people to use for trips, big lunches, visits to the beach and more!

Copper Mugs Add A Special Touch And Flavor To Your Drinks And They Look Fabulous

I love to have things in my home that fit a particular decorating theme. You might say my home looks a little like a colonial kind of home. I love things that are old and look old, including things made from iron, pewter, and copper. That's one reason why I love copper mugs.


Copper mugs, like the one made by Gear Ultimate, are made mainly for one reason, to keep drinks cold. Copper is the perfect metal for the conduction of both cold and hot temperatures, so copper mugs are perfect to do this.  Copper is also  important for the ionization of some chemicals too in drinks and foods. Granted, most people drink alcoholic drinks from these mugs, but they can be used for a lot of things.


The mug by Gear Ultimate is a really nice one and I am enjoying it a lot. The entire mug is made from a smooth finish copper that shines like crazy. It really looks nice siting on your table and hanging from a peg waiting to be used. It's a 16 ounce mug that has a really nice handle to grip. It is riveted on to the mug and very, very secure, I've had a few of these kinds of mugs, including a couple of antique ones, and most are made from a thinner copper sheet than this mug is. I love the thickness of the copper. It makes the cup sturdy and able to do it's job for many years to come.


Each of these mugs will hold the cold and the heat of any drink you put in it. I love to see how the the moisture condenses on the outside as I drink a cold beverage from it. Now I have tried a hot beverage in it as well, but be warned, the handle can get a little too hot to hold on to if the beverage is really hot. Caution should be taken


One thing that is beautiful about copper, especially uncoated copper like this, is how neat it looks as it ages. They get such a nice patina to them as they age and I love it! They are super easy to clean when they start to tarnish though. I use a combination of lemon juice and salt and lightly rub on the copper to bring back the beautiful shine. You can also use white vinegar and salt to do the same job. I don't recommend using professional copper cleaners though, especially on something you will put food or liquids in. For daily cleaning, just wash by hand in regular gentle dish soap. Don't use any kind of harsh chemicals on them though. It could damage the copper.


Just to let you know, you can use these mugs for all kinds of things. I love placing flowers in them. I have one that holds pens and pencils, and others we use to drink from. They are great mugs and they look fabulous in your home even for just decoration!
