Lunch Box Love Affair

Lunch. My favorite meal of the day! Actually, I like all meals, but lunch is awesome because it always comes when I'm hungriest.

This weekend my parents drove up to visit me from Orlando and brought my grandparents with them. The family drove up to celebrate my birthday a little early--my grandparents are from Missouri and wanted to celebrate with me on their vacation. Here is the awesome birthday gift I got:


It's called a Laptop Lunch Box, and I totally love it. It lets me pack nice little portions of food, is small and easy to wash, and it's good for the environment! (No more little plastic sandwich bags.) Plus it is so easy to use, comes in a ton of cute color combinations, and fits easily in a bag or backpack.

Modeled after Japanese Bento boxes, the lunch box contains five smaller removable compartments that fit securely. There's even a spot for utensils that nestle nicely together--they "spoon," if you will. The first day I used it I got a ton of compliments on it from people in my class.

If you eat lunch away from home often I highly suggest you get one of these, or some other reusable lunch sack. It'll save you money in the long run and it's good for the planet! Also, you don't have to worry about finding a healthy choice or an appropriate portion size, like you do when dining out. Check out this article on how to save money and make packing your lunch fun!
