Sacko Insulated Lunch Bag Review

I've often mentioned the importance of having a great bag to carry your lunch in. Especially in an office setting, where the atmosphere is quite professional. You don't want to carry a plastic bag, mismatched tupperware or anything of the sort. You want to keep it all nice and neat.

There are many great products on the market to help you keep it all looking professional, at least to keep it all looking as neat as possible. I was recently selected to review the Sacko Insulated Lunch bag. A lunch bag with a sleek look, and functional design. I selected the black lunch bag and couldn't be more happier with the way it looks.







The bag is a standard size lunch bag but with plenty of room. It has two mesh pockets on both sides of the bag, which can hold large drinks. The mesh pockets are actually pretty deep, which keeps me confident, that my drinks will not slip and fall out. I can not tell you how annoying having shallow drink pockets are. The front of the bag features another zippered pouch, which I think is large enough to hold a sandwich or two. I placed a few hand wipes, some gum, and travel medicine. Perfect to conceal smaller items. The front of that pouch, has a small open pocket as well. Great feature for anything extra you might need to carry around in there.





The large compartment was exactly, that... LARGE. It's a great sized lunch bag that can hold just about anything. I have never fully filled the inside. The insulation is also really good, it definitely kept my food cold. Another great feature is the white interior. It's so easy to wipe clean, and allows you to see any spills that may occur. 

Overall, the Sacko Insulated Lunch Bag completely functional. The space it has for anything you need to pack, is awesome, and you can not beat the insulation. It's great. You can find the bag on Amazon, for $15.83, and comes in, black, red, green, and blue. Great colors, for anyone in your family.

I received this product free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Sacko Large Insulated Lunch Bag Review

Beach, Parks, and Ranch Days... all very much a part of my outdoorsy life. Things I love doing with my friends and my family. We all love getting together and hanging out, for hours on end. I received the Sacko Large Insulated Lunch Bag, free, in exchange for my honest review. This was perfect for me and my family, as when we're out and about during family outings, bringing enough food for us all is definitely a must.


The Sacko Lunch Bag is massive, it holds so much food. It measures 12.25"h x 10.25'w x 8.75"d. It has an adjustable shoulder strap, large main insulated compartment, multiple pockets, and elastic rope on it's side to hold beverages.

The bag is extremely sturdy, and the construction is top notch. No rips or tears in any of the polyester material. It looks like it's going to hold up for years to come. I did experience one minor issue, The elastic on the side of the bag was brittle. I believe it's from the bag being stored in temperatures too warm for the elastic to keeps it's stretch. I did contact the seller, who was quick to send me a replacement, although I wasn't able to claim the replacement in at timely manner. This was entirely my fault, but the sellers willingness to fix the issue immediately gave me a great impression about the company as well as the products they're selling.




Overall, this bag is pretty great. I was able to hold enough food for 4 people, and some utensils and napkins in the front pouch. Oh, one more thing, the outer pouch isn't insulated. So I didn't want to hold any foods that would spoil quickly. That's where I placed the napkins and spoons and forks. Worked out perfectly.

The bag sells on Amazon.com for $19.61 and comes in 3 colors black, blue, and red. The red I received was absolutely beautiful and vibrant. I definitely recommend this product to anyone going on a hike, to the beach, a picnic, etc. Click the link below for more info, and to read the amazing reviews.

Kitchen Supreme Vegetable Spiralizer Review


CUCUMBERS!!! My favorite snack of all time. I slice them, dice them, and even just bite into them... Until now. After being selected to review the Kitchen Supreme Vegetable Spiralizer, for free in exchange for my honest review, I knew exactly what I wanted to use it for. My cucumbers!

My Veggie Spiralizer arrived at the perfect time. I had just returned from the grocery store, where I had bought 3 cucumbers, and knew exactly what I was going to do with them. CUCUMBER NOODLES!!!

The small box contains the handheld vegetable spiralizer, which comes in a small drawstring pouch. It includes a Safety Cap to help in turning your vegetables, and a Flexible cleaning brush, to make cleaning your vegetable spiralizer quick and easy. 

The Spiralizer has two sturdy Japanese stainless steel razor sharp blades, that are guaranteed not to rust or lose their sharpness. And thanks to its ergonomic design, it's as easy as pulling the spiralizer out of it's bag, and pushing your vegetables through.










I had no problems at all getting it to shred my cucumber into noodles. The one small issue I did see arise, was that the very ends of the cucumber were a bit difficult to push through and shred. Then end cap that helps push it down, doesn't go in completely, making the ends of your vegetable hard to shred. Not a problem for me though, because I just went ahead and ate my cucumber ends anyway. Be careful not to try and shove it through yourself without the cap. You can get your fingers or nails nicked by the blades if you're not careful. Other than that, this thing worked smoothly, and nicely. Long, straight, beautiful noodles. 

I absolutely loved how nicely it shredded my cucumber. I couldn't decide if I wanted them with some dressing, alone, or with some chili spice. I opted for the Tajin Chili powder, and some lemon juice, and dug in with my fork. I'll tell you one thing, as much as I love my cucumbers, I've never completely finished an entire one, until now. This is my new favorite way to snack, and I can not wait to push some zucchini and carrots through. My next attempt will be some potatoes, I just want to see if I can get them to spiralize too.




If you're looking for the quickest and easiest way to get make some veggie noodles, then this tool right here is exactly what you need. No need to put anything together to get it going. No need for cords, and power outlets, to plug it in, it's ready to go out of the box. This retails on Amazon.com for $15.84. It has a rating of almost 5 stars, which I personally think it deserves more. My Kitchen Supreme Vegetable Spiralizer will be getting a ton of use in my house.

Hango Lunch Bag Review (Set of 2)


A few days ago, my 4 year old niece had Open Heart Surgery. I was going to be babysitting her 2 year old little sister, my niece Lucy, for the week, and knew that we'd be spending a lot of time visiting the hospital. I received this 2 set of Hango Lunch Bags for free, in exchange for my honest review. I was so excited to receive them, as I knew they were going to arrive just in time to make sure I could pack some snacks for Lucy, and not have to spend an arm and a leg on snacks for her from the hospital.


On the day of surgery, the longest day we had at the hospital, I packed up both lunch bags, to test them out. This was going to be a great time to test them out, as I was packing cold products, and could see how long they'd stay cold in the bags.




The lunch bags are a beautiful carnation pink color, with a brown handle, and a very strong and sturdy zipper. The inside features a grayish silver liner, with a thick thermal insulation. Both these bags came in a really nice cotton drawstring bag (BONUS.) I packed quite a few items into my lunch bags, potato chips, microwaveable macaroni, pop corn, Smuckers uncrustables, and some Coconut Water. I expected the bags to buckle at the center with the weight of the drinks. Surprisingly, though, this did not happen. My coconut waters stayed pretty cold, even though they had been sitting inside the bag for a few hours. The insulation, is top notch. The padding is quite thick, so it keeps everything cold, and I'm sure very warm as well. I don't think I've ever owned any lunch bags that have this amount of padding in them.

One very small downside, which doesn't last long, was the strong plastic scent the bags have when you first open up the package. It's quite strong, but it does wear off overtime. So this is not something that'll linger, and put me off from using them. Just let them air out before you use them, and you'll be good to go for as long as the bags last. I do see them being around for a very long time, as they're so extremely well built. The zipper is very strong and sturdy as well. 

Small bag. Could hold more, but this is all I packed.

Completely full (Large) Lunch bag

I have already told plenty of family about my lunch bags. Everyone LOVED the small one, it's size is just too adorable, and my little niece Lucy loved carrying it around. The bags retail on Amazon.com for $24.99 for the two bags. Large 6L x 6H x 10W in inches. and the small 5L x 5H x 7.5W in inches. Plus the white drawstring bag, that you can use to store the bags when not in use. They're so beautiful, they're chic, and elegant, but fun. These lunch bags can be used by anyone old or young. This is a 5 star product according to the Amazon.com reviews, and I completely agree with that rating. Take a look at what other people are saying as well. I'll leave the link the product down below. I highly recommend these bags to anyone and everyone.
