on my ever continuous quest to loose the last 10 (let's be honest, 15) lbs. and overall eat healthier, i am constantly trying to come up with ways to incorporate the healthy lifestyle with the traveling lifestyle. success is often short lived as soon as i see or smell people around me noshing on all the terminal goodies. it takes sheer willpower and an act of God to keep me from the bakery case at starbucks. airport terminals are often a mosh pit of calorie-horrific foods packed with sodium and goodness knows what else. oh yeah, grab the banana with your scone, that'll help balance it out...right?

travel divas always prepare, so prepare i did! elle essentials has a huge selection of lunch bags to take anywhere...but they're super cute and stylish! most look like handbags and all are nicely insulated so, hot or cold, you're set.

let's face it: if something is cute, you're more apt to actually use it! sure, you'll have to prepare a lunch and throw in some snacks...but how much time did you spend picking out shoes the last time you traveled? your tummy deserves just as much attention! making sure i have the favorite munchies from home packed with me not only saves money but is eco-friendly and way better for my thighs! these bags can be found at givinggallery.com, which is a great site to get gifts for anyone..the selection is crazy, they have everything! do yourself a huge favor, pick out a cute elle essentials lunch bag and travel with lunch on hand. no brown bag for this diva ... well unless it's really cute like the brown brynn bag above!
