Hango Lunch Bag Set Has Quality "In the Bag"!

Much of my product reviewing arises from one of those things: necessity or convenience. Sometimes, these things overlap with novelty. I love trying new things, so when offered a product sample that I can use in daily life for free, I jump at it! The Hango Lunch Bag Set was no exception! I was very excited about this promotion because it gave me the opportunity to really get up close and personal with the product and form a thorough opinion of it! To keep it easy to read, I'm listing my top three favorite features of the lunch bag set! 

#1: Quality. These lunch bags aren't the cheap, easy to tear ones that you remember from your childhood. You know...the ones made of barely-there plastic or nylon. These bags are durable, heavy, almost canvas-like material that is resilient to injury. The stitching on the edges and on the handle is even, thick, and neat. All of the edges are neatly tucked into seams, which are stitched up. No fraying here! The zipper operates smoothly and doesn't get caught up. It is black, so it blends nicely with the fabric of the bag. When you open the bag, you see metallic, silver material. This is to better insulate the bag...either hot or cold. And it works! This bag looks basic, but it can't be beat if you're looking for a bag to last for years! 

#2: Simplicity of Design: As mentioned previously, the bag is very basic looking. It's black with a brown handle and tan stitching on the handle. The Hango logo is on the front, bottom right corner and is very smart looking. It's nothing fancy, because it doesn't have to be. It's fantastic quality and that speaks volumes. Black matches everything! The bags come with a cotton gift bag similar to what you would get with a pair of Toms. It's a nice, simple touch, but it adds a lot of class! 

#3. Price. For a low price, you get two lunch bags of different sizes! The smaller one is the one that I prefer, as I barely take anything! My husband uses the larger one. We both have lunch bags that will last for years and years, and both of them have a value of $25! Finding a lunch bag that will truly last a long time and not wear down for that price is awesome. But then to have two! Great!  

Overall, I really enjoy the convenience of having a durable lunch bag! I'm especially happy to have one that goes with everything! 

Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes by Jonathan Vine

As some of you know, my New Year's resolutions were few, but significant. I wanted to change my eating habits, improve my creative process, and learn something completely new to me. With changing my eating habits, I decided that a Vegetarian diet was the path I wanted to take. For about seven years during middle and high school, I didn't eat meat, much to my Momma's despair. Looking back, I understand her worry now. I didn't do it right. I lived on French Fries and refused to take supplements. This time around, I'm an adult, and I'm doing it right by making sure that I'm not falling into the "French Fry trap" and paying close attention to how I feel and how much protein I'm getting. Many people become overwhelmed when they consider the thought of restricting their diet SO much. If you think about it, meat is a huge part of the American diet. However, it doesn't HAVE to be hard, and that's what I discovered with Jonathan Vine's book, "Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes".

  

I didn't really know what to expect out of this Ebook, but I didn't expect it to be so inclusive. There really aren't any repeats of meals, and it points out common sense recipes that are often overlooked. Some of them are so simple that you wouldn't think they'd be that great, but they are! An example of this, that I found, was eggs with Avacado. I've never really eaten Avacado before, so I was pleasantly surprised when I decided to go to a random recipe and try it...NO MATTER WHAT.

I love that this book has tips on how to become a Vegetarian and make the transition easily. I also admired the fact that Mr. Vine considered that sometimes, busy moms don't always have the time to spend on extensive preparation (yes...there's sections for moms AND meals that are easy enough for kids to make!). There's even a section for romantic meals, which is great, since finding alternative dining out can be difficult for Vegetarians.

Overall, I'd say that this ebook is a fantastic resource for new and experienced Vegetarians alike, and I'm thrilled that I was selected to review it for free!
