Bragging Rights...

We've set up a press blog for all the little mentions of Bag Lunch that we stumble across. It's mostly set up so Beck's mother can brag to all her relatives about her daughter's business.

Eventually we'll have a link to it from baglunchco.com, but for now you can get there from here:
www.baglunchpress.blogspot.com

And, thanks to all the media-folks who have mentioned us over the years. For small businesses like ours, these little blips and bloops really really help us out, as our advertising budget is pretty much um, zilch.

Housekeeping....

The Bag Lunch blog will be slowly changing it's look in the coming weeks.. please bear with us as we work out the kinks.

Peanuts and Cracker Jacks

Hmmm. Bag Lunch was planning on launching 4 new flavors this week, but it's currently delayed. We're having some webby-type issues that need to be fixed. We can't seem to add new products to our online inventory system. Hello, tech support? We have a problem.

So you'll just have to wait! It's tough, we know.. but you'll pull through.

For the Dogs (and cats and birds and rabbits and..)

This Sunday, Bag Lunch will be participating in the 26th Annual MSPCA Walk for Animals on the Boston Common.

We've put together a donation page for our little walk team, and if you'd like to donate, please visit

Deep in the Heart of Texas...

This year, Bag Lunch will be one of the many sponsors of The Stitch Fashion Show and Guerilla Craft Bazaar. We're so excited!
The event will take place in November 2006 at the Austin Music Hall, in Austin Texas. The first 500 people to arrive will get a goodie bag filled with all sorts of neat-o things from a ton of indie businesses and designers, including Bag Lunch!

from www.stitchaustin.com
"The Stitch Fashion Show and Guerrilla Craft Bazaar is an annual celebration of independent design, artistry and creativity. The idea was born when three austin designers (Jesse Kelly - Landes of Amet and Sasha, Tina Sparkles of Sparkle Craft and Karly Hand of Identity Crisis Clothing) joined forces to create a forum to show their designs, the women took it upon themselves to establish Stitch. Since it's inception in 2003, Stitch has added a 4th producer, Jennifer Perkins of Naughty Secretary Club.

Stitch is community directed rather than competition oriented, ultimately designed to showcase the work of independent designers in a new format. Stitch serves as an opportunity for participants to connect and build relationships with other members of the creative community."

New Flavor...

A few weeks back we posted a hint regarding a new flavor that Bag Lunch would be launching in the near future.

And the new flavor is... Strawberry Lime Parfait!

Those who guessed correctly should keep an eye on their mailboxes... you'll be getting a tube of this brand spanking new Bag Lunch flavor very shortly.

Shop at Orange Button!

A little about Orange Button (taken from their website)...
"Orange Button is passionate about handmade items and the people who make them. Everything we offer is either handcrafted, hand decorated, or hand dyed. Some of the items at orange Button are actual one-of-a-kind. We believe that beauty lies in the simple details of a product made with care. Enjoy finding your next treasure!"

How great does that sound!?

Bag Lunch currently has two flavors of our lip balm for sale at Orange Button (I'm not going to tell you which flavors.. you'll have to visit Orange Button and see for yourself!)

visit them at www.shoporangebutton.com and support independent goodness!

Guess and Win!

A new flavor will be introduced soon. The above image is a hint.

It obviously contains two fruit flavors, but is it a dessert? a beverage? what could it be!?

Anyone who guesses correctly will get one free on the day it is announced!

Email guesses to : lippy@baglunchco.com, with "New Flavor Hint" as the subject line.

Good Luck!

Just a Reminder...

For those of you using "Safari" as your web browser...
you may have problems navigating around baglunchco.com if you're using Safari as your internet browser.

The problem seems to be that links to other sections don't work when viewing an individual product page.
We are currently working to fix this, but in the meantime, using your browsers "Back" button seems to work.

Gah. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Busy Busy....

Bag Lunch is moving locations..
so I've been slowly updating all our contact info and labeling for the official move date.

Once Bag Lunch is moved.. we'll have all sorts of new goodies and surprizes popping up!

Those idiots at Urban Outfitters have done it again....

A few months ago mentioned an incident where Urban Outfitters ripped off a Johnny Cupcakes shirt design and passed it off as their own, selling it under their store brand. Well, they've swindled someone else.

This time they ganked ideas from Dan Goodsell, author of 'Krazy Kids Food" as well as the genius behind www.theimaginaryworld.com

visit here if you want the full story about the latest crime commited by those artless hacks at Urban Outfitters...
http://mistertoast.blogspot.com/2006/06/urban-outfitters-rip-off_06.html

(And yes, I understand that I'm using rather harsh words in regards to Urban Outfitters, but I feel very strongly about the copyright infrindgement that they have gotten away with COUNTLESS TIMES.)

The Glitter Workshop!

A new batch of Bag Lunch Gift Sets has arrived at The Glitter Workshop, located in lovely Madison, Wisconsin.

The Glitter Workshop continues to be the exclusive retailer of Bag Lunch Gift Sets.
(besides baglunchco.com, of course!)

We are so happy that Bag Lunch is among the nifty things sold at the Glitter Workshop...
visit them yourself and see first hand how great The Glitter Workshop is!

Not near Madison? No problem! visit their website at www.glitterworkshop.com

Needled.com

I've been reading a tattoo-related site called "Needled" for quite some time now.

A few days ago I sent in an ad-banner that included ink-work in the imagery. The ad was odd, because it was unexpected that it would include any sort of tattoo, due to the product the ad was selling and the supposed target market it appeared to be aimed towards. As Needled.com mentions, tattoos are creeping into all sorts of mainstream outlets. I find this to be a good thing, as theoretically this will help the tattooed community become less of a curiosity in the long run. (While I don't mind people asking questions about my tattoos, quite frankly I'm growing rather tired of complete strangers touching my ink. I would never even consider poking someone's nose-job and I don't see any difference between touching the tattoos of strangers and fondling a person's plastic surgery modifications. Both actions are both equally rude.)

Aaaanyway....

Today, there is a small article regarding tattoos in fashion-related advertisment, including the ad I brought to their attention,
and the fine folks at Needled included a link to baglunchco.com in the article.

How nice of them!
Because Bag Lunch is a tiny company, little mentions like these really help out. And I greatly appreciate it!

visit them at www.needled.com

"Lady, she's good to go."

Bag Lunch email has been fixed, although we've lost 4 days of emails.

If anyone has tried to email us within the last 4 days, we regret to say that we probably did not receive the email. Please resend it and we'll promptly reply. We are so sorry for this inconvenience!

Jello® Molds and Pink Flamingos....

I've recently bought a house in the Suburbs. I've started a blog centered around all things suburbia, with the initial focus being an online diary of sorts for all the home renovations I'll be doing in the near future.

Self indulgent? admittedly, yes. But this blog will serve as a way of not having to tell the same home-related rambling stories 73 times to friends and relatives that are sprinkled throughout the country. And it will also keep these stories off the Bag Lunch Blog, so that people who don't give a hoot about my indecision regarding paint swatches and tips on lawn care can still enjoy "The Juice Box" in all it's food-themed glory.

the address is www.suburbanwonderland.blogspot.com
do drop by!

Houston.. Houston...

Bag Lunch email is currently down. The web support team assures me that this will be fixed soon.

That was yesterday.

In the meantime, if anyone needs to contact bag lunch...
please visit our myspace profile at www.myspace.com/baglunchlipbalm
feel free to leave a message for us there if you need to get a hold of us.

Gah! I hope this is sorted out soon!

They will now be spared...

"Freezepop Forever"

Freezepop, a crazy-good Boston band, has been selling special Freezepoppy flavored lip balms, made by yours truly, for quite some time now.

In the past, they have had Blue Raspberry and Orange special edition lip balms for sale at their shows as well as on their website. Bag Lunch just made a new batch for them! The new Freezepop lip balms are Pink Grapefruit and are quite good, if I do say so myself...

visit www.freezepop.net to learn more about the band and order some Freezepop balm!

We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Programming...

I don't normally post things of a political nature on "the Juice Box", but I will make one small exception today...

HOORAY FOR STEPHEN COLBERT!
if you have no idea what I'm talking about... search this here internet for "White House Correspondents Dinner"

Alright, I'm done.
I'll now return to rambling on about food, useless plastic toys and other irrelevant nonsense.

More things i don't need...

Miniature food collectibles from Japan are the cutest things ever, and are currently my new obsession.
The best part is their size... so tiny! They're no bigger than 2 inches and are really detailed for something so small.

These little toys can be ordered from www.jlist.com, which is where some of these images are from. The other images are from the website of the company who manufactures them...www.re-ment.co.jp

http://www.pbase.com/kujira12/toys_puchi ..... this site has great photos of the different food collections that Re-Ment produces.

I'm running out of room for all the crap I collect... I'm glad these things are small!

Holy marshmallow, Batman!

I found this in a candy store the other day. This glorious thing is made entirely of marshmallow and it's lightly strawberry flavored. Why a burger-shaped marshmallow would be strawberry flavored is beyond my comprehension, but this mallowy masterpiece is fantastic nonetheless.

Look at the size of this thing!


All Marshmallow...the entire thing....


Here's the wrapper...

It's fat free!

Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear....

www.plan59.com
I love them.

According to their website: "Plan59.com is a family-friendly Web site dedicated to the commercial art of mid-century America."

Although It's really fun to browse around the site and see a bunch of great illustration, the best part of the site in my consumeristic opinion, is the plan59 store. They sell high-quality large scale prints of ad illustration art.

I've got my eye on a large print of a Swanson TV Dinner ad.

How fantastic would this look above my dining room table!?

(the image is taken from the plan59.com gift shop and is available for purchase in a variety of sizes!)

Out in the Sun, With No Work Getting Done

I've been talking about the Bag Lunch Custom Balm Workshop for quite a while now, promising that it will be online "soon."

Turns out, I've been sort of lazy lately... this nice weather keeps yanking me outside and sadly, my computer cable isn't long enough to follow. So the web update I've been hee-hawing about has fallen to the wayside.

But no longer! By the end of this weekend the Bag Lunch Custom Balm Workshop will go live! I'm not kidding this time!

The arrival of the Bag Lunch Custom Balm Workshop will also bring about two main points of awesomeness...
1. This will save me endless trip to the post office to mail out info packets.
2. Those of you who want to learn more about our custom balm will be able to get the information much quicker...
No more waiting for the info to arrive by mail! Ah, the immediacy of the internet! Technology is swell!

So yes, dear friends...the "soon" will shortly become "now."

I'm Charmed...

The fine people at Earthenwood Studio make the cutest foodie charms I've ever seen. The charms are hand formed from porcelain clay so each one is unique.

I especially like the donut charms. So cute I can hardly stand it! They make a load of other great things, in addition to these great little charms, so visit them and buy something, will ya?

To purchase these cutie cute cute charms, as well as other goodies, please visit www.earthenwoodstudio.com

Kitsch in the Kitchen!

Jen, the wonderful lady behind Sweet Pea Handcrafts, makes fantastic aprons in addition to a ton of other neat stuff.
My favorite apron has to be the "Reverse Hot Lucy." I love polka dots and this apron has a ton of them! You can purchase the "Reverse Hot Lucy" in two styles... a half apron that's great for light cooking duties, and a full apron for the times when full coverage in the kitchen is a must!

To purchase these great aprons, as well as other neat-o stuff, visit www.sweetpeahandcrafts.com

Thanks for Everything. Really.

Thank you, city of Brookline... for towing my car and making me roughly 5 hours late for work.

Thanks for towing my vehicle to a tow lot that isn't anywhere near public transportation.

If I didn't have the wonderful Myko offer to drive me to pick up my car, I'd probably still be walking to the tow lot.

So Thanks. Really. Made my day.

Food-Based Humor and a Chocolatey Apology.

I highly recommend the Stand-Up Comedy of Jim Gaffigan. He has a few albums out and he's very funny. A large portion of his material is based around food!

In other news... Cadbury is trying to win me back. They've sent coupons as an apology for the Mini Egg fiasco of last week.
It's working. I can easily be bought. Welcome home Cadbury! I can forgive what you've done to me.. but I won't forget.

Oh, how you've let me down...

I'm speaking to you, Cadbury. How could you do this to me? We've shared so much.
I bought a bag of your delicious Mini Eggs today and this is what I get....

A BUNCH OF BROKEN SHELLS!!!?
Why? I've never done anything but love you and this is what I get?

I'm disapointed in you.

I know what you're going to say. You'll say that your shells are delicate and this is to be expected.
But guess what... I'm not buying it. M&Ms have much thinner shells than yours and they would never do this to me.
(Oh, don't pretend you don't know about me and the M&Ms...you were away and I was lonely. It wouldn't have happened if you stopped by more than once a year, Mini Eggs.)

I'm not mad, just upset.
I'm willing to give you one more chance.
If this happens again, its over.

I'll call Lindt. Don't think I won't.

Oh, for the Love of Cadbury...

Guest writer and self proclaimed "chocolate-fiend" Richard has written this love letter to one of his favorite seasonal treats...enjoy!

To the half-wits who sang "I wish it could be Christmas everyday" I
say this, "Why would you deprive yourselves of Cadbury's Creme Eggs?"

In this nasty world someone in a lab coat at Cadburyland has your back.

Whoever crafted this fiendish confectionery deserves the kind of
praise usually reserved for the guy who said "And this machine cuts
the loaf into manageable slices"

So. You've bought a case of eggs. Well Done. Put them in the
refrigerator. You'll thank me when the outer wrapper comes off
easier. You don't want silvery bits under your nails, or worse still
chunks of foil zapping your fillings.

You now have an undressed refrigerated Cadbury's Creme Egg.

Then ... gnaw.

That's right, gnaw like an actual (?) Easter Bunny at the
surprisingly dense chocolately part at the top of the egg. You see,
chocolate engineers (yes they exist) will try to impress you with
stories of gigantic leaps in technology in the shaping of chocolate
on the production line, but trust me on this one, the top of the egg
is thicker.

Finally like a buck-toothed sugar-loving Jim Morrison you will break
on through to the other side. Congratulations, you have reached the
white and yellow inner goo. My choice here? Pucker up and suck that
yolk clean out. When you see the calories in one of these babies
you're going to be glad of the facial exercise.

You can expect some outer chocolate damage along the way, so as you
finish up the inner delights you should be left with about two-thirds
of the outer egg. What next? Simple, shove your tongue in there and
bring the egg into your mouth like a frog eating a bug. Sadly the
poor frog will never enjoy the pure sensation of milk chocolate
melting into the wells of your mouth, but hey they're holding out for
a woman to release their inner prince.

Have fun.

Meow!

I was photographing lip balm this weekend and of course, I was interrupted by my whiskered friend...


...not that I mind all that much.

Webbed Feet and Chocolate Eggs

I'm very tired!

Baglunchco.com got an update last night, with the help of my very good friend and web-genius Chris Martell.

So, thanks to his web-coding wizardry..
some new posters are up in the gallery.
And some new flavors are up as well.
New in the Bakery: slice of birthday cake lip balm and slice of wedding cake lip balm
New in the Ice Cream Shop: vanilla milkshake lip balm

Also, I'm still working on a bag lunch custom lip balm site, and that should be up in a few days. (hopefully)

In other news... Cadbury Mini Eggs are in Season! It's very exciting. These tiny joys are only available once a year here in the States so I've got to start stockpiling them now. Last year i went to London and found that Cadbury Mini Eggs are available year round over there. While over here they are marketed as an Easter candy, thus being sold for only a short time each year, In the UK they are simply available year round and the packaging features a slightly goofy looking non-descript bird.
Those lucky ducks across the pond!

Come to think of it, all the chocolate is better over there! You can find British chocolate over here, you just have to know where to look. Grocery stores that have an International Foods section usually stock some British chocolates.
Not to sound elitist, but once you've had some of these chocolates, things like Hersey Kisses and Nestle just don't cut it anymore. Although, I still love Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.

Well, I'm off to build a website.. Where is my construction hat?

Here we go a Waffling...

I'm very excited.

Philosophy, a company who makes really great bath and shower gel among other things, has just released a new shower gel in "Waffle Cone" scent.

My weekend plans have officially been changed to allow myself time to track this product down!
I have horrible addiction to foodie-themed bath products. My bathroom is overflowing with colorful bottles of gels and bathing bubbles in dozens and dozens of scents.

I can't help myself. At least I smell delicious.

New Posters!

I've been designing some new posters for Bag Lunch... here's a taste....

Orange Button.

Orange Button now carries 2 select Bag Lunch Balms... Chilled Margarita and Glass of Lemonade.
They also sell tons of other great products from other small businesses.

32 Flavors Public Relations

Bag Lunch just made a batch of custom lip balm for 32 Flavors Public Relations.

We're excited to be able to provide them with a custom chocolate flavored balm because as they say over at 32 Flavors PR.."traditional public relations is SO vanilla."

go visit them at www.32FlavorsPR.com

Webby

Lots of things are happening in the world of Bag Lunch...

I'm currently working on an Online Custom Balm Workshop.. which will allow me to get information to people regarding my Custom Balms much faster than the previous method of mailing out Info packets via snail mail. Its slow going, but should be fully operational within a few weeks. I need a web-monkey to do these things for me!

Also in the works... new flavors:
slice of birthday cake
slice of wedding cake
vanilla milkshake
and the Neopolitan Gift Set of three balms
These new balms will be up on baglunchco.com very soon.

Whew! I need a nap!

We have a tiny blurb written about us in the current issue of "Bleech" magazine.

Visit www.bleechmagazine.com to read it.
(the mention is in the "Bleech-e-Bits" section on the website.)

Johnnycupcakes.com

As a small business owner, I try and not get too involved in commenting on the business practices of other companies whether big or small. I do make one exception to this rule and that is when a large company is obviously infringing on the copyright of a smaller business.

As I am not directly involved in the situation, I will refer you to www.johnnycupcakes.com
Here you will find out what is upsetting me so much, as a small business owner.
Johnnycupcakes.com is an independently owned small company and it
upsets me greatly that they are being taken advantage of by a larger entity.

And, while you are there.. buy something! The items for sale at www.johnnycupcakes.com are
fantastic and also food-related!

Food on Film: Grumpy Old Men (1993) & Grumpier Old Men (1995)

The next in our "Food on Film" series, which logs all foods consumed on film throughout our favorite movies, is Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men.

I love these movies. They depict a pretty accurate snap-shot of how I'd like my retired life to be... full of friends and family, leisurely afternoons, good food, bickering neighbors and shenanigans. These movies are perfect for lazy Sunday afternoon viewing. Plus, the added bonus of Burgess Meredith as a dirty yet harmless old man and father to Jack Lemmon's character is a huge highlight to these two movies... trust me: hilarity ensues.

Starring: Jack Lemmon, Walther Matthau, Ann Margret and Burgess Meredith

Bag Lunch News: Ice Cream!

A new lip balm set is in the works over at Bag Lunch!

The new Lip Balm Set will be Neopolitan Ice Cream which will include a chocolate milkshake lip balm, a strawberry milkshake lip balm, a vanilla milkshake lip balm and the bag lunch button. It will of course be housed in the Bag Lunch tiny tin box, like the other Balm sets.

Keep checking www.baglunchco.com as this balm set will be on the site within a week or two!
Hooray for new lip balm!

Banana Time-Frame

I would really eat more bananas if they didn't turn so quickly.
I can only eat them if they are just about to turn bright yellow, which leaves me with about a 30 minute time-frame.
If they've gone yellow.. it's too late.

Bananas are no good to me unless they are slightly under-ripe.

Bag Lunch News: Postal

Good news from bag lunch!....We will not be increasing out shipping charges when the United States Postal Service increase takes effect on January 8th, 2006.

We will still be charging the same for shipping and handling as we always have.
Happy New Year!
