I try to take my lunch to work every day and I am always looking for a nice lunch bag to carry it in.  I recently received this Sacko Insulated Lunch Bag.  It has an adjustable handle and is nice adjust it to carry on my shoulder or if I want I can shorten it up to carry it in my hand.  It has a a zippered main compartment, front zippered pocket and side mesh pockets.  It is great for taking my lunch or even for a picnic at the park.

The bag is pretty big at 7 1/4″(W) x 10″(H) x 7″(G) so it can carry any of my containers and even a beverage.  I got my in bright green but it does come in blue, black and red.  The bag is insulated so it does keep your food fresh ~ I still store it in the fridge at work.  The bag is easy to clean too – I just rinse it out with warm soapy water.  I have used it for the past month and it still looks like new so it is a tough bag.

I have tried a number of different lotions that have Vitamin C in them.  The Vitamin C encourages collagen production, which brightens and softens the skin. It is  essential in maintaining smooth skin. Vitamin C moisturizer also helps even your skin tone and is great for help with brown spots. The Vitamin C Moisturizer may be worn under sunscreen, since Vitamin C boosts the effectiveness of the sunscreen.

What I thought was great about this Vitamin C from  Made From Earth was that it was light and very gentle.  It just blended into my skin and did not leave any residue or oily feeling.  It can be used on all skin types and is good to use twice a day. I use it in the morning under my make up.  I have found that my skin is feeling smoother and looking brighter.  Some of the discoloration from the sun has gone away. It is a moisturizer I will purchase again.

Perfect Fit

by Lynda Simmons

BLURB:

Fast-paced, funny and incurably romantic

Rachel Banks has never believed in magic or moonlight, but if she’d thought that putting a piece of wedding cake under her pillow would conjure up a nightmare in the form of blue-eyed charmer Mark Robison, she’d have stuffed that cake into her mouth instead! Mark is only in Madeira Beach for some much needed R&R and his new neighbour is not the kind of woman made for vacation memories. But there’s something about the incurable romantic that just keeps drawing him back.

Jennifer Crusie. Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Lynda Simmons? Oh, yeah!

Excerpt :

Amanda snapped on her gear and opened the front door. “That was chance. But this.” She picked up a couple of bags. “This is fate.”

Rachel stopped in the doorway. “Do you really believe that? Do you think it’s possible for two people to be des¬tined for each other? Like soul mates.” She shook her head. “Forget it. Let’s go.”

Amanda blocked the way. “Who did you meet?”

“No one, and I’m late.”

Amanda planted her skates sideways. “You cannot do this. Not after I told you about the real estate broker.”

Rachel looked through the fringe of Amanda’s bangs into her frank green eyes and wondered if she should take a chance. “Let me ask you this. Have you ever heard of dreaming on a piece of wedding cake?”

“Sure, it’s an old custom. Like walking to church because it’s lucky and passing on a green wedding gown because it’s not. But most people serve the cake for dessert these days.”

Rachel tried a smile. “Not all.”

“Someone gave you cake to dream on?” Rachel nodded and it was Amanda’s turn to laugh. “Don’t tell me you did it.”

When Rachel didn’t answer, Amanda’s mouth dropped open and her voice rose. “You did, didn’t you?” She put the bags down. “Okay, I need details. Did you have a dream?”

It was on the tip of Rachel’s tongue to say no, to deny that anything out of the ordinary had occurred. But she found herself nodding and watched Amanda’s eyes grow even rounder.

“Did you see him? The man you’re supposed to marry?”

Rachel took comfort in the fact that her friend had been sucked into the fantasy as easily as she had and nodded a third time.

Amanda stepped closer. “Alright, this next part is really important. Where exactly did they get this cake?”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

Lynda Simmons is a writer by day, college instructor by night and a late sleeper on weekends. She grew up in Toronto reading Greek mythology, bringing home stray cats and making up stories about bodies in the basement. From an early age, her family knew she would either end up as a writer or the old lady with a hundred cats. As luck would have it, she married a man with allergies so writing it was.

With two daughters to raise, Lynda and her husband moved into a lovely two storey mortgage in Burlington, a small city on the water just outside Toronto. While the girls are grown and gone, Lynda and her husband are still there. And yes, there is a cat – a beautiful, if spoiled, Birman.

When she’s not writing or teaching, Lynda gives serious thought to using the treadmill in her basement. Fortunately, she’s found that if she waits long enough, something urgent will pop up and save her – like a phone call or an e-mail or a whistling kettle. Or even that cat just looking for a little more attention!

We love ice cream at my house – well actually it is Rex who loves ice cream at our house. I think he has it every day. The one thing I needed was a ice cream scooper – Rex has bent a number of spoons while getting ice cream out. Our new scoop from SUMO is great! It has a really nice handle that is made from thermoplastic elastomer rubber that’s BPA-free and food-safe. It’s soft to the touch, but allows for a firm grip. The scoop won’t slip from your grip.

The chisel-shaped tip glides through the hardest ice cream comfortable and easy to grip-won’t slip or hurt your hand. The scoop won’t bend, crack, or break-virtually indestructible heavy-duty stainless steel construction. Our freezer is set pretty cold so the ice cream can be hard to dip – but not with our new SUMO ice cream scoop. The SUMO ice cream scoop is also dishwasher safe.  It is made from heavy-duty stainless steel so it won’t rust ~ it should last you a life time.

If you would like to purchase your own SUMO Ice Cream Scoop you can do so on the link below from Amazon.com.
