Packing lunches for school and work it is not always easy. You need to get creative to make sure your kids do not get bored with their lunches. You also need to make sure there is no spills and the food is at the right temperature.

I got some products to review and they are great for everyone in the family. Drinks and lunches will be easy to carry on your lunch box and you will be able to take salads and fruit without any fear of them going bad. Also water and drinks will be cold (or hot) for long hours.

The 14 ounce double wall hot & cold hydration mug is great for hot and cold drinks. So you can carry your coffee hot or iced. It is perfect for teas and juices. To drink, you tap the top of the lid and then drink from the side. Tap again and the lid will be closed with no spills. Due to the double insulation there will not wet papers or clothes on your purse. 

The 20 Ounce Double Wall Flavor Infuser Tumbler is great as an infuser to add any flavor to your water. You can place any combination of fruits on the removable flavor container. The combinations are endless.

The Seven (7) piece laptop iced Bento lunch box  has sections that allow to pack different foods and since the lid seals tight there will be no spills. The lid has a gel cold pack that will keep your food cold and it comes with a spoon and a fork that fit in the container.

My son and I had the opportunity to meet and interview  Elijah Kelley (“Sunny”) and Meredith Anne Bull (“Dawn”) and we were very impressed with how nice they are. They are both down to earth and friendly. The interview, mostly done by junior reporters took place at the Disney Studios Building and the stars were warm and welcoming.

You might recognize Elijah Kelly from Hairspray. Red Tails and Lee Daniels' The Butler. He is an actor, singer and dancer. Elijah's character, Sunny is an elf that is in love with Marianne’s sister, Dawn. Sunny is funny and a very good friend, but Dawn cannot see Sunny  pass the friend zone. Sunny ends up being brave and fearless as he tries to rescue Dawn.


Meredith Anne Bull has been in the movie Good Intentions and Harold. She is an actress and singer. Meredith's character in the movie, Dawn is a fairy princess, and Marianne’s little sister. She is really flirtatious and only sees Sunny as a friend.

My son, Nicolas, was in charge of the interview questions for the blog and here are his notes (not all questions were asked my him, there were other junior reporters)

The movie has a great strong message: Everyone deserves to be loved. You should head to theaters either tomorrow for opening day or in the next couple of weeks, because this is a movie that everyone is the family will enjoy and it has an awesome soundtrack. 

Out in theaters TODAY!

When you here that the movie executive-producer is George Lucas you know you are in a great time. Although there is no light-sabers and the story does not take place in a galaxy far, far away, the story line is as the name of the movie say it itself: Magical. Not only the animation is wonderful but the message of true love, perseverance and friendship is something that people of all ages will enjoy. And let me tell you that the soundtrack is awesome. The movie has so many well-known pop songs that it is hard not to dance and sing along as you are watching it.
