How Portable Power Accessories Keep My Devices Charged & New Portable Chargers

January 4, 2014 By Leticia

Using Portable Power Accessories to Keep Your Devices Charged

Whenever I travel for work, portable power is an absolute necessity to keep my devices. Owning my own business where I work as a consultant and freelance enable me to work from anywhere but when I’m on a press trip, attending a conference, or meeting with clients, it’s important to me to always have access to my email, share what I’m learning through my social networks, and chronicle my trip through Instagram.

On Monday I’ll be traveling to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Showcase (CES) with Lenovo as part of the Lenovo Moms program to get a glimpse at all the new technology product offerings coming in 2014. It will be a whirlwind trip where I leave my hotel room in the morning and don’t see it again until late at night.

Since I’ll be on the move constantly, portable power becomes even more of a necessity! I’ll be packing my trusty Mophie Juice Pack Helium for my iPhone, testing out a gorgeous blue Lifesaver II device that not only fits in the palm of my hand but is designed for recharging smartphones and tablet and sounds perfect for keeping my Yoga Tablet 8 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 charged, and throwing a couple spare chargers in my bag like the ultra portable Rayovac 2 Hour Power Micro USB that fits in my pocket to provide an extra charge that will last well into the night. I’m also really excited to learn about other new portable charging products that are lightweight, yet powerful enough to keep my devices charged throughout the day.

I’ve always been impressed with the wide variety of products offered by Rayovac for Android and iOS users and this year they’re expanding their line. Their 2-Hour Power portable charging device will be honored for outstanding product design and innovation at CES but they’ll also be showcasing a new line of portable chargers that include 7-Hour Power that uses rechargeable batteries, Phone Boost 800- a rechargeable phone boost compatible with Apple lightning tip, and more that will feature sleeker, smaller designs, making each device the perfect size to store in purses, briefcases and backpacks. I can’t wait to see these devices in person at CES not only for their enhanced portability but also for the ability to use them over and over again.

For more information about Rayovac’s newest product announcements, follow them on Facebook and Twitter!

I am a member of the Rayovac Power Bloggers and receive product and compensation for my involvement however, all opinions are my own. As a member of the Lenovo Moms program, I have been given devices, compensated for my involvement, and Lenovo is paying my expenses to attend CES. Other products mentioned in this post were provided as review units. Amazon Affiliate links are included in this post.

My best advice to parents of college students? Whe My best advice to parents of college students? When they say “you should come” - GO! ✈️

Over the last 4 years it’s been so wonderful to be invited for glimpses of Emily’s life on campus. I’ve been welcomed by her amazing friends who have become part of our family, met the professors, faculty & staff she talks so fondly of, and gotten to know fellow parents through trips to Family Weekend all while enjoying time with my best girl. 💕

Today I’m heading home as a proud mom with a full heart for all that I’ve experienced on campus during her college years and am in disbelief I’ll be back for graduation next week. 🥹

The space portion of @silversat ‘s mission has fin The space portion of @silversat ‘s mission has finally come to an end but what we accomplished was pure CubeSat Joy!! 🛰️

I continue to be in awe that we put something in space that existed up there for 5 months. 🥰 Our CubeSat took photos 📸 and tweeted 🐦‍⬛them out as we hoped it would thanks to the many students (and parents!) who have been involved in our meaningful real-world hands-on STEM project that enabled them to learn about technology and space over the past 11 years.

I found some old notes from a 2015 meeting and under Questions, I wrote: “If we are successful, would we do this again?” 

And the answer is yes! 🎉 Here’s to SilverSat 2.0 and involving more kids to dream up a new mission for our next Silver Spring CubeSat! 💕

Happy #MedalMonday to everyone who ran a race over Happy #MedalMonday to everyone who ran a race over the weekend and is adding new race bling to their collection! 🎉 I did a thing this weekend too but it didn’t involve another race! 😂Here’s the before, swipe ⬅️ for the after!

Inspired by seeing @allytbrett_runs ’s race medals, I did a little medal reorg that makes my OCD self happy. 🙌🏼Pro tip- Instead of sliding the bar of the medal rack through the ribbon, I looped the ribbon around the bar so all the medals face forward! This small thing made a huge difference and makes me happy every time I walk into my office!💕

My next race is the 25th anniversary @stjude Memphis Marathon Weekend on December 5th. I’m thinking this anniversary year medal will be the start of a new medal rack, just like my 15th anniversary medal started this collection.🫶🏼

If you want to run Memphis with me, race registration is open! Comment Memphis and I’ll DM you the registration link and happy to answer any and all race ❓s!

Here’s to the most amazing coaches, fellow members becoming friends outside the studio, planning my work schedule around workouts, showing up for class on days I’d rather not just to avoid paying the cancellation fee (IYKYK), and continuing to count classes because I’m coming for you 1000! 💪🏼

WE did this Team Orangetheory! 🧡Thank you for joining me in fundraising, training, and running for St. Jude as charity runners! You showed yourselves what was possible outside the studio when you put your hard work inside to the test and made a difference for St. Jude kids and families. 🫶🏼

THANK YOU! Already excited for our studio to @runrocknroll DC next year!

Race medals are great but charity bling is better! Race medals are great but charity bling is better! 🏅When I first started running for @stjude 10 years ago, I thought I’d be one and done but here I am- 15 races later and having raised almost $50,000! 🎉

The goal has always been to help end childhood cancer and I feel so fortunate to have met the most amazing people along the way. My fellow @stjudedc Hero Ambassadors are a group of dedicated baddies who I adore. 🥰 

We cheer for each other on and off the course and as my friend & fellow DC Hero Ambassador @jess_santora says, “My goal was never just to reach the finish line- it was to help more people get there too.” 🏃🏻‍♀️

Here’s to more races, more money raised for St. Jude, and forever friendships! Already excited (and fundraising) for St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend this December. ✨Fundraising link in bio and donations of any amount are appreciated to help me reach my $4,000 goal! 🙏🏼

When Team @otfsilverspring gets out of the studio When Team @otfsilverspring gets out of the studio for @runrockandroll DC! 🎉 Today 20 of us got out from under the orange lights and crushed 5Ks and half marathons to benefit @stjude kids and families as St. Jude Heroes.💪🏼

I am so proud of each and every one of us and especially incredibly grateful that OTFSS members said yes to running today! 🥰 

We fundraised, trained, and ran to give families hope that their kids will survive childhood cancer and to support researchers as they work towards a cure for childhood cancer and other life threatening diseases. 💕

As a mom of 2, I know no parent should ever have to hear “your child has cancer” so thank you Team OTFSS for supporting St. Jude’s mission by running the streets of DC! We did it and I’m already looking forward to next year’s RNR DC race so we can do it again!🧡🧡🧡
