What's in Your Bag?

It's always fun to take a peek inside someone's bag. Especially a Lug bag! I'm always amazed at what I can fit inside, so with that in mind, I thought I'd start a new blog segment called "What's in Your Bag?" ... Mkay, I'll start. In my Puddle Jumper (which just so happens to be my very first Lug bag [3.5 years and running!] and my very first Lug love), I have ...

1. My computer. I rarely leave home without it.

2. Because of #1, I've also got my computer cord and a random assortment of other computer accessories, like a flash drive, earbuds, usb cord, etc.

3. My notebook. I am a writer, after all.

4. Snacks. Girl's gotta eat.

5. Napkins. Does anyone else stuff the extra napkins you get at restaurants into your bag? Picked that habit up from my great grandmother.

6. Five lip glosses and a ChapStick. I'm addicted.

7. Cell phone. You know, when it's not in my hand.

8. Wallet & keys.

9. Sunscreen and sunglasses. (That sun sure shines bright deep in the heart of Texas.)

10. Book. (Currently David McCullough's The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris)

11. A couple of pencils and pens.

12. A random card from my mom. (Gotta love that.)

13. A watch that no longer works and a necklace that never made it back to the jewelry box.

14. A couple of random hair clips, spare change, and crumpled up receipts/grocery lists/coupons.

That's about it at the moment. So, whatcha got in your bag? Send me a picture and a list at katie@luglife.com, and I may choose you for my next "What's in Your Bag?" feature!

Lug Gets Fit: Zumba Edition

Keeping with our summer/fall fitness kick, we brought in two high-energy Zumba teachers to get us moving. And boy did we! We were shimmying, shaking, sweating, and smiling right along to the music. It's always fun to try something new, and as our teachers Roland and Lily Ko say on their Zumba Fitness web site, "That's the secret to making exercise FUN!"

Thanks, Roland and Lily, for leading all the Luggers and keeping us motivated to move! Hope you like the pics!

Back-to-School by Lug

Back to school. Back to school ... I got my lunch my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight. Ooooh, back to school. ... It's that time again. The start of the school year is quickly approaching (if it hasn't already), and that means school supplies! While we don't sell school supplies, we DO sell lots of brilliant bags and satchels and pouches to store them in. So, without further ado, here is our list of the top three school essentials by Lug:

1. A Brilliant Book Bag

Here we've got several options. You could go with our classic, the Puddle Jumper, with all it's pockets and pouches. Or maybe the sophisticated look of our new Taxicab Tote. If a messenger-style bag is more your thing, try the Hula Hoop for ultimate organization, or really streamline your load with the Flatbed Slim Laptop Bed for your essentials. The Gondola Slouch Tote and the Cabby Social Tote are great, more girlie options too.

2. A Leisurely Lunchbox

The Petals Lunch Tote is perfectly proportioned with it's cute curved shape. But if you think it's hip to be square, go for our Freight Box Lunch Cube.

3. A Pencil Pouch

All those pencils and pens can't just be rolling around your bag! Try the Canoe Brush Holder, the Clearview Envelopes, or the Punter Zip Pouch to keep organized.

Fitness Fun Progress Chart ... Looking Good, Luggers!

Remember when I told you about the Lug Fitness Challenge here? Well, the challenge is in full effect, and as you can see from the progress chart pictured, all the Luggers are doing great! And that's really something to be proud of, considering how busy we've been with all this Hoedown fun.

High-five to all you active Luggers!

Toronto Trade Show Fun!

We've been having a GREAT time at our Toronto trade show these last few days, so I thought I'd share a few pics of all the fun.

There's been lots and lots of booth action! We love all the Lug love!
