Online travel provider giant tours4fun has just launched http://www.asiaimpressions.com/ to complement its original resource (http://www.tours4fun.com/) with a comprehensive and user-friendly site that enhances the travelers experience with booking tour packages to China & Japan.

You'll find that the website features unique tours and cruises that promise one-in-a-lifetime experiences to explore the charming diversity of these beautiful countries, with custom tours and special Member programs also available. Take a tour today, and book your fantastic voyage! ...just remember to take PortaPocket along for the ride with ya! ;-)

Look who else is talking about her period (hint K.K. tho not Kim Kardashian!)

So...hubby sends me this link this am:
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/video/kim-kardashian-talks-about-her-period-for-Kotex-10385104

how awesome, huh? someone else talking about periods, menstruation, and tampons, etc and not being embarrassed! Of course Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian et al are a little "higher platform" than yours truly, but what the heck...it's all good. :)

For those of you who don't yet know...I had a little tampon accident myself, which actually became the impetus to design PortaPocket in the first place (http://www.portapocket.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=page.display&page_id=33) So there you have it! Such fun to be empowering women everywhere...and making sure we don't have to stuff our little things in our socks, shoes, sleeves or bras just to get by. Hallelujah!

April showers...

sitting here looking at the gray skies and hoping things will blow over before my little one wants to set up her Princess tent back in the yard again... oh to be 5 again and carefree!
When we're young we seem to want to grow up SO fast, and looking back, it can be such a special and wonderful time in our lives...NO responsibilities! (or, any that are of super consequence anyway..) NO bills to pay! (yea!) NO people to worry about who don't return phone calls, blow you off and make you question your worth (wow!)
Perhaps she'll have fun tomorrow while I'll see how many balls I can juggle in the air without having them all hit me in the head...

what kinds of things are you dealing with today?
care to vent?
...ah, life... ;-)

Spring break, anyone?

ahhh spring... mid March already and alot of young adults will be heading off to Cancun or Florida or somewhere else warm... flexing their muscles for independence and freedom! Let's just hope they're all going to act responsibly and with prudence. Can't say those are the first qualities that come to mind when speaking about 18 to 22 year olds, but we can dream a little, right?

Fortunately my daughter has quite a few more years to go before I go gray with worry...
but when it IS her turn, you can be sure she'll have her valuables safely & discreetly out of sight yet ON herself... Strap on your PortaPocket sweetheart, and you're always good to go! ;-)

...and for those who are on the cusp of having some fun in the sun, go ahead and pick your own pocket, here:

happy Mardi Gras!

So if I was in NOLA it would be a little more exciting, for sure, but hope you all are having a terrific Fat Tuesday wherever you are :-)

Definitely an eventful week...the V in my Valentine's day unfortunately stood for VIRUS, so I was stuck in the quarantine lab getting my computer cleaned out & getting put back together. Would be so much nicer to think that humanoids on this planet spent their time in putting their minds to positive & productive tasks rather than creating insidious little parasites meant to wreak havoc on others. ahhh, the grand tapestry of life....good, bad and ugly...inclusive to all ...(but let's please go light on those latter too, okay?)...

On a brighter note, love to say we've been "Diva-Approved" as a really cool Bachelorette party gift item, so come check it out at http://www.theshowerdiva.com/divaapproved/giftideas-bachelorette.html

AND also in celebration mode, we've finally installed our product line up on AMAZON!
So if you want to jump on our PortaPocket bandwagon while shopping for a host of other cool things, perhaps that's the way to go:
