Steven and Chris Show, Featuring ... Lug!

Guess what? Okay, I kind of spoiled it in the headline, but Lug is going to be featured on the  Steven and Chris Show TOMORROW! (That's Friday, Oct. 28). We had so much fun at the taping and LOVED meeting Chris and Steven (see pic!). So, check out the show, which is on weekdays at 2:00.

October ALSO Adopt-a-Dog Month!

I didn't even know there was an Adopt-a-Dog month, much less that said month was October. But I LOVE it! Here's a little info about the push to bring awareness to all the amazing shelter and rescue dogs out there that need good forever homes. In light of this great cause, I thought I'd bring your attention to our Somersault Shoulder Pouch—a.k.a. the petite little pouch that's perfect to take on walks with your dog. Three reasons why it's perfect: 1. What's that they say? Great things come in small packages! This pouch may be petite, but it's got plenty of room for your dog-walking essentials, like treats and doggy bags. 2. It's a cross-body bag, so both hands are free to hold a leash. 3. It's cute. (Just like your dog.)

Happy Adopt-a-Dog Month, and as the American Humane Association says,

"Find out what a shelter or rescue dog can bring to your life this October during Adopt-A-Dog Month!"

What's in Your Bag: Somersault Edition

Time for another installment of "What's in Your Bag?" In the spotlight today, the Somersault Shoulder Pouch! So ....

I was about to head out to run some errands around town, and rather than lugging my big bag along, I thought I'd pack light in my Somersault. Of course, "packing light" still means I need my collection of lip glosses (neatly stored in my Clearview Envelope) and my newest obsession, the  Amazon Kindle (there's always a long wait at my post office, so it's best to come prepared). Aside from those essentials, here's what's in my bag:

1. Pens—a no-brainer.
2. My handy business card case.
3. My glasses (stored in their own special soft-lined pocket).
4. A mini tape measure. (Put one in your bag and see how often you'll use it. Seriously. Don't knock it till you try it.)
5. My flash drive. (Don't actually know what that's doing in there.)
6. Car keys.
7. Grocery bag (Lug Eco-Shopper, of course).
8. Tissues. (Always.)
9. Pocket mirror.
10. Hair clips.

That's it and that's all!

So, what's in your bag? We love to hear how you're using your Lug. Send pictures and details to katie@luglife.com, and you may be featured in the next installment of "What's in Your Bag?"

Pink: In Honor of October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month

It's October. Summer has come and gone. Early fall's brisk air is finally upon us, and with it, football season. Some on our big Lug team cheer for this team. I, myself, am partial to this one and this one (yes, it's true, even though I live in this state). And if we're talking pros, I go with this one. (Let's not talk about the Boys bad go of it this past Sunday, mkay.) Why all this talk of football during the month of October? Well, have you ever noticed anything special about the pros in October? As I'm sure you're aware, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And during breast cancer awareness month, the pros wear pink. There's just something about a 300 lb lineman wearing hot pink cleats that makes me smile. Of course, I also love that the pros are able to bring so much attention to this great cause. With the pros in mind, I thought I'd post a gallery of pink Lug pics so that just like the pros, you can wear pink proudly too.
