Every day it is the same thing, it’s morning and you want that perfect cup of coffee.  Whether if it time for the commute to work or off to see that client, driving and coffee go hand in hand. What does all of this have in common? Spero Pavlopoulos.

Spero is a self-proclaimed coffee addict who wanted to enjoy a great cup of fresh brewed coffee while commuting each day. Life before BRUGO meant while sitting in his car he had to remove the lid of his from his cup to let it cool to a drinkable temperature. But the cup slipped, coffee spilled, and splattered everywhere… a disaster!

This prompted Spero to embark on a personnel crusade for a better mug. A spill proof coffee mug, an insulated coffee mug designed for a perfect cup of coffee. The best travel mug ever!

Life after BRUGO means that Spero reached the pinnacle of success, as defined by a coffee addict. A perfectly designed spill proof coffee mug, an insulated coffee mug all wrapped up in trendy colors with chrome  accents creating a designer look.

BRUGO. A perfect cup of coffee, so sit back, tip and sip.

The BRUGO Travel Mug is an innovative solution designed by a coffee lover to give you perfect taste with perfect control. BRUGO is the only travel mug in the world to have a thermodynamic patented temperature control chamber that makes your coffee fit to sip at the perfect 150 to 170 degrees to stimulate your taste buds for the vibrant coffee flavor we desire.

Add the unique temperature control chamber to its innovative features and you’ll understand the BUZZ about BRUGO.

Tea and coffee. It’s not just for breakfast anymore. Take your coffee or hot brew with you anywhere, anytime, but keep in control with your BRUGO Travel Mug. It’s simple. In today’s fast paced environment, what better way to get control and look cool than with your own BRUGOTravel Mug? Here’s why.
		Lock seals the flavor of your favorite brew in tight.
		Sip lets you bypass the Temperature Control Chamber after your brew has cooled to your desired drinking temperature.
		Tip your BRUGO Travel Mug away from you for a few seconds to move your hot brew from the lower chamber to the patented Temperature Control Chamber. Swill with a “brandy” motion to cool that sip to the Perfect Temperature. The longer the motion, the cooler the sip.

Control. That’s what the BRUGOtravel mug is all about. So sip back and control your full flavored hot brew in the BRUGO travel mug. Here’s to moving and grooving, thanks to your BRUGOtravel mug.

Built NY offers laptop Sleeves that offer protection without bulk. They fit into backpacks, totes, or luggage. They’re easy to travel with, and most importantly, the checkpoint friendly design lets you go through airport security with the laptop inside the sleeve. BUILT neoprene sleeves are designed to fit Macs and PCs, and come in a variety of eye-catching colors and patterns. They are available from 9″ to 17″ PLUS. Prices start at just $20 and the designs are bold and beautiful!

This year I have found myself traveling via “the air” for the first time and I have realized just what a hassle airport security can be. Even though there are “general rules” every checkpoint is different. Several airports I went through were a big deal with my laptop. In one place I had to leave it in the sleeve, another I had to take it out of the sleeve, another told me to just unzip it.

I have a 17″ laptop and if you own one then you know getting a good case for them is a real pain. I have had a few that I really liked but there was always that one thing about each one that I found I didn’t like.

I received a sleeve from Built and I REALLY like it. My laptop fits nice and snug inside the sleeve.It is created from the same material used to make a wet suit.  This means if something gets spilled on it your not going to have to run like a maniac for a a towel because your laptop just got ruined! I have had a few different sleeves while trying to find the one I like best. With the exception of the material being a little slippery I like the sleeve.

It amazes me every time something comes out that reuses old products. I always think to myself, “What can they come up with next?” Jeep has come out with this great stroller that reuses plastic bottles. At first I couldn’t figure our how. This stroller’s canopy and seating area are made from PET recycled fiber saving approximately forty 16 oz. bottles from the landfill.

Likes: This stroller was almost all ready to go out of the box and it only weighs 15 pounds. All I had to do was pop on the wheels and we were ready! What is “cool” is it has the unique ability to keep Spencer cool in the summer.  The cool-climate roll-up exposes mesh for better air circulation and creates a headrest, so baby is kept relaxed, comfortable and cool. I love this feature because it allows for breathablilty.  This is great because all kids sweat in the summer and this will keep them dryer in my opinion. I love the cup holder for drinks on the run, cell phone pocket, comfort-grip padded handles and plenty of storage with cargo bags on each side.

The big sell for me on this was that it can hold a child up to 50 pounds. Spencer is almost 3 and 30 lbs. It was hard for me to find something that didn’t sink when he sat in it for awhile. It has a quick, compact umbrella fold that easily slips into travel bag which was nice since we travel to and from my parents. Spencer was very comfortable in this stroller. It has a generous 2-tier sunrider canopy with a windshield that adjusts easily to block the sun, a reclining seat back and a height adjustable 5-point safety harness. It works similar to moving the straps on a car seat. It also has all-terrain wheels and a reclining seat back.

Dislikes: If you look at the basket on the bottom you can see the cross bar. It is over the cargo net which makes it really difficult to get things in and out of the bottom. It was a real hassle when I went to retrieve something from the bottom.
