Hango Lunch Bags {Review}

While being on the kick off with my weight loss, I'm always on the look out for a big enough lunch bag(s) to store my stuff in especially while I'm at work as I can't leave to just grab a snack and if I have healthier options with me, I'm less likely to snack on work junk.
So when Hango let me review their small & large lunch bag set, I was game to put them to the test.


The lunch bags are black with a brown handle, with a nice clean design. They definitely kept my snacks cold while I was at work. The handles make them easy to carry. Double zipper makes it easy to close on both sides, middle etc.


These bags would be great for on the go, even if you were going somewhere that you needed drinks, it fits 6 cans nicely in the large bag.


Yes I'm hiding the label since it was all I had in the house at the time but wanted to show the capacity of the these bags.
Even the small bag is good for a quick snack on the go, for the kids, even yourself. 
They are definitely handy.


Although compared to what I take for my dinner for work, including my giant thing of water, these bags are on the smaller side. If you don't take as much as I do - these would be perfect for you, or even the kids to take their school lunches.

However, I'm one to try to improvise, I did find a great use for the larger lunch bag!!
Be prepared to gasp - yes, that's right I used it as a makeup bag!


I know you might think that I'm crazy in this case, but it's so hard to find a large makeup bag without it being a suitcase and costing an absurd amount of money! So in my pinch of needing some place to put my makeup, this bag worked!! So in this case it definitely holds alot!

No matter what you decided to use these bags for, they are a great choice and have a lifetime warranty!

Let me know your thoughts on my crazy idea for the bag.
What would you use it for?

5 HTP Mood & Weight Support Pills {Review}

I have been in a wicked funk and definitely stressed which is no way to be especially when you have a happy 2yr old little girl.



So when Chronos Pharma let me review their natural and pure 5 HTP Mood & Weight Support Enhancer pills I figured I'd give it ago.

They drastically helped me do a 180. I've been calmer and my stress level though I have alot going on, it has been thrown by the way side and I'm just taking it as it comes. They are set at 50mg and you can take up to 200mg. I just took the smallest dose until I knew it'd be okay in my body since sometimes wacky side affects happen but I had none will these.

I will say, them advising to take it at night is a good idea as it honestly does make you drowsy and help you to fall asleep. I'm up throughout the night with my daughter so I can't honestly say that I had a restful sleep but someone who doesn't have interuptions, probably will be rested.

I also have a hard time loosing weight and I haven't as of yet seen any weight loss by using these but after using them for awhile, I probably would.

I would highly recommend trying these pills for any of the above listed reasons.

And you don't just have to take my word for it - look at all the other people who have tried this and love it on the reviews.

Check it out here on amazon ~ 5HTP

Bento-Ware Laptop Lunches {Review}

How many of you take your lunch or dinner to work with you or even on the go? Have you ever had a problem fitting a container into a lunch bag? I have and it's frustrating.

This is where Bento-Ware Laptop Lunches comes in handy. They are a wonderful company that offers containers to put your food in, lunch bags and other great accessories necessary for a great meal on the go!




I got to review an adorable lunch bag, containers and an owl ice pack!

 Lunch bag ~ it was definitely bigger than I expected it to be but I'm perfectly okay with that! It's such a roomy lunch tote! The colors are fabulous (orange & pink) and the pattern is adorable (paisley). It definitely doesn't look like everyone else's lunch bag and is awesome. Working nights I like to take lots of stuff with me incase supper at work isn't my first choice, snacks and some drinks. And you can fit all that in this bag AND MORE! More you might ask, that's right there is even a pocket for your tablet! I haven't used mine for that because I'm brutal with my bags and just don't think before I put it down but ideally you could use the pocket for anything. I love the fact that bag is insulated to keep things cold or hot. It also has a leak proof lining which one day may come in very handy since spills are inevitable.



 Ice Pack ~ Is an adorable owl pattern. I love the bright colors of it. It definitely keeps cold for quite a while being such a small ice pack. Something I didn't know until I received this is when packing your lunch, always put the ice pack on top because the cold travels down to keep your food cold in the bag! Though if you are opening and closing the bag alot it will be slightly less effective but you get the idea! The ice pack is also reusable which is a plus since some aren't.



Containers ~ the package I picked comes with 4. They are a pretty magenta color since they don't have pink ones. And well let's face it, they match the lunch bag quite wonderfully. The package says they are leakproof, I haven't exactly tested nor experienced anything so far that would lead me to believe other wise but I might have to just try that sometime soon! I like how on the container lids there is an idea what you might use each container for such as lettuce, fruit, condiments naturally you can use this which ever way you want for whatever you want. I happen to like using my largest one for my meat, the middle one for my croutons, the next one for my dressing and the smallest for my meds that I need to keep handy. At first I noticed the lids were a little hard to push on, but as I read the instructions it clearly tells you that is a common occurrence and to set them in hot warm to loosen them and snap them on. As you continue use it will increase the maneuverability of the lids. I really am pleased with the containers, you can even set them inside the largest and make your own combo instead of doing them like I did.



On their website, they also have napkins, utensils, beverage holders, and other neat accessories to make lunch fun for any age. Maybe I'm a big kid at heart but I'd definitely order more to make my lunches more fun. Like the sandwich cutters are a neat idea that would be great for a toddler lunch.



 Over all I am pleased with the products from Bento-Ware and would highly recommend them to someone looking to be a little greener with their own lunches or their childrens. It's a great way to reuse containers and cut down on plastic wrap and baggies which we all know don't hold anything well and are notorious for leaking.

One thing I will make sure to highly point out - when ordering make sure to pay the extra and get quicker shipping. I did the standard and it took what seemed like forever to get here from when I ordered. When I did the tracking it said the package was delayed due to UPS being late and when I contacted UPS and Bento-Ware no one could help me determine where my package was since the tracking number hadn't been updated on the site, it made it look like it hadn't moved from one location and when it was going to get here. Luckily it was only a day late getting here but still that was very bothersome. I was honestly worried it was lost.

 Regardless I only recommend products I would use and I think my readers will use.

Re-Play Recycled Tableware {Review}

I went to Wal-Mart the other day in search of some plastic type plates for my daughter and my nephew to eat off of, other than our glass ones. I just don't trust those little hands! And searching the baby aisle, I came across these packages that were 3 divided plates and some matching bowls by a company called RePlay Recycled Tableware. They are made in the USA which is definitely hard to come by these days. They are BPA FREE, and the best part they are made from Recycled Milk Jugs. FDA Approved and Dishwasher safe which is a plus! But however it does say not to use in the microwave which is fine.


               



The price I believe was $4.98 for the 3 divided plates, $3.98 for the 3 bowls. Not to bad considering. I love the girly colors of the plates and wanted those in the bowls but they didn't have them so I got the boy colors of the bowls. The high walls help my little one keep food on the plate while learning to use silverware properly. It neatly keeps food seperated for those children who don't like things touching or together. Mine just likes to see if she has the same things on her plate as mommy.
The bowls are perfect for her since she is learning to eat cereal on her own, or even just having a snack in them, we had previously tried spaghetti in it.
The one thing I did find with the bowls, which this does happen quite frequently with anything that isn't glass, when used for spaghetti - the sauce stains the plastic. I found that ketchup doesn't however.

           


When looking on the package, I didn't notice a website which is kind of a bummer but since I know my way around the internet I googled the name and found the websit easily enough. Once on there website on the right hand side it did have all the links you could want (facebook, pinterest, twitter). I wanted to check out there site to see what else they might have for products, where to buy more since that was the first time I saw them at Wal-Mart and naturally I like to price shop.

I would definitely recommend the products from this company to anyone looking for an earth friendly product, reasonably priced, and with a great selection. They also have Utensils, No Spill Cups, Soft Spout Cups, Drinking Cup, Snack Stack and Teething Keys!
Have you heard of this company? Have you ever purchased any of these items? Would you purchase them? Let me know your thoughts!!
