A Lunch Bag That Doesn’t Make You Look Like A Middle Schooler

by

As the back-to-school season approaches, the inevitable demand for stylish and functional lunch bags and totes is on the horizon. Having spent a significant portion of the past year patiently searching for a sophisticated lunch tote suitable for work—an insulated bag that didn’t scream “lunch tote”—I finally stumbled upon a gem that exceeded my expectations.

Introducing the STAY HOT, STAY COOL lunch tote: a perfect blend of functionality, style, and innovation. This chic accessory is designed to keep your meals either warm or chilled for an impressive duration of 5-6 hours, thanks to its upgraded insulation technology. Now, you can savor your favorite dishes at their optimal temperature, regardless of your on-the-go schedule.

But it doesn’t stop there—this lunch tote offers ample space for all your culinary delights. Its generous size accommodates lunch boxes, containers, and beverages with ease. The wide opening not only simplifies packing but also ensures that everything stays securely upright, preventing any unfortunate spills during transit.

One of the standout features of this lunch tote is its spill-proof and easy-to-clean inner lining, Yes, I seem to spill often. Worries about accidental spills are a thing of the past, and maintaining a pristine appearance is a breeze. The stain-resistant fabric ensures that this lunch bag remains as vibrant and stylish as the day you got it, even after repeated use. 

Adding a touch of fashion-forward flair to your daily routine, the blush pink lunch bag (the color I bought) boasts removable and adjustable straps and handles. This versatility allows you to customize your look for different occasions. Its premium vegan leather construction not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also speaks to its commitment to ethical and cruelty-free materials.

Learn about China for Kids

China is such a big country with such a long history we can’t possibly cover it all in one blog post, but let’s get to the basics of the People’s Republic of China for kids.

China Basics

  • China is a country in East Asia and is the second-most populous nation in the world, with a population of more than 1.4 billion people. That’s 17.4 percent of the world’s population.
  • Its area is 3.7 million square miles, or almost 9.6 million square kilometers, which makes it the third largest nation by land area. It borders 14 countries: North Korea, Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam. It also borders Hong Kong and Macao, which are considered special administrative regions. Its land border is the longest of any country at 13,954 miles, or 22,457 km. It also has a 9,000 mile/14,500 km border on the Pacific Ocean. 
  • China has been inhabited by humans since the Paleolithic Era and is considered one of the cradles of civilization.
  • Gunpowder and paper, among many other things, were invented in China.
  • The country has been the People’s Republic of China since 1949 when Communists took control of the country. It is a one party socialist republic, where the leader of the Communist Party is the president.
  • Beijing is the capital but Shanghai is the largest city by population (and Chongqing is the largest by physical size).
  • The nation is 91 percent ethnically Han Chinese, and about 33 percent of the people are Buddhist.
  • Because it is so large it has many different climates, including deserts, subtropical forests, mountains, coastal and river environments, grasslands and plateaus.

Chinese National Symbols

The Chinese flag is red with a large gold star and four smaller gold stars in the upper left corner. The flag was adopted in 1949. Red represents the revolution, and the large star stands for the Chinese Communist Party. The smaller starts are for the unity of different classes of Chinese people.

The national anthem, “March of the Volunteers,” became the official national anthem in 1978. The lyrics were part of a poem written in 1934 about armies that opposed the Japanese invasion of Manchuria.

There are many symbols of Chinese heritage including the Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square and the terracotta warriors.

Chinese dragons and pandas are also considered symbols of the country, and the panda is the national animal. Plum blossoms and chrysanthemums are popular flowers. Unofficially, the red-crowned crane or Manchurian crane is the national bird.
