A Good Kind of Inflation
Inflatable Movie Screens - Watch movies outdoors on an inflatable screen
I consider myself a great outdoorsman. I enjoy fishing, sailing and taking leisurely dips in my pool. I also enjoy watching television, but I don’t feel very outdoorsy while watching the boob tube from my couch.
Now I can maximize my love for being outdoors and still get in a healthy dose of entertainment with one of these ginormous Inflatable Movie Screens from the Improvements Catalog.
Forget about Drive-ins, welcome to my Swim-in.
A breath of fresh air
Mini air purifier - Mini sized purifiers that kill germs and odors in the air
I’m very particular about the air I breathe.
I don’t like people in my face, breathing over my shoulder, coughing near my cubicle and I despise close talkers. It’s even worse when I fly. Whether I’m sitting in the aisle, the center or the window seat, I always get stuck in close proximity to a child with enough snot running down their face to infect everyone flying first class… and the first six rows of coach.
I love to travel, but they won’t even let me bring a full bottle of hand sanitizer onto the plane these days, so what’s an airborne gal to do? Invest in a Mini Air Purifier from TravelSmith.
It makes flying the friendly skies so much friendlier.
Here Fishy fishy
Fish Finder Watch - A watch that helps find the fish for you
I keep hearing that there are a lot of fish in the sea.
Oh yeah, well where are they?… Seriously, where are they?
I keep fishing and fishing, catching the same old guppies and minnows that I end up throwing back, when all I want is a shark. A sexy, manly shark.
Am I using the wrong pole? Should I try a smaller pond?
Hopefully this Fish Finder Watch from Hammacher Schlemmer will help me find bigger fish to fry.
Magic Mouse in the House
Apple Magic Mouse - The first multi-touch mouse from Apple
Do I believe in magic?
Not really, but I do believe in the Apple Magic Mouse.
This smooth, seamless little wireless mouse from MacMall puts all other mice to shame. Taking a cue from the revolutionary iPhone and the iTouch, its state-of-the-art Multi-Touch surface allows you to use gestures to swipe through photos and scroll down web pages. Pretty sweet if I do say so myself, and the entire mouse is the button so you can click anywhere.
I’m telling you, magical.
Recycled beat box
Recycled speakers - Mini cube speakers for Fold and Play recycled sound
I just returned from a recent trip to New York City. There is no place on Earth, quite like the Big Apple. I reveled in it all. The neon lights so bright on Broadway, the legendary NY hotdogs (hold the sauerkraut), the stupendous skyscrapers, the grittiness of the subways and the overall inner rhythms of the city that never sleeps.
Now I can listen to the sweet sounds of the city (i.e. Jay-Z’s Empire State of Mind on repeat) while enjoying New York’s beloved cityscape with these OrigAudio Fold & Play Recycled Speakers from Tilly’s…
…because the only thing I HEART more than music, is NY.
Men’s Shapewear gives me a bum rush
Men’s shapewear from Undergear enhances men’s rear ends
Every now and then I get a work assignment that transcends all others.
Boss: “Sam, edit this press release asap.”
Me: “Yes boss.”
Boss: “Sam, I need your creative imput on this new project.”
Me: “Yes boss.”
Boss: “Sam, I need you to write a review for Undergear’s collection of Men’s shapewear.”
Me: “I love you Boss.”
Now this is an assignment I can certainly get behind.
I Resolve to Rehydrate
Oral rehydration solution - Rehydrate and detoxify with Q-Hydrate528
One of my New Year’s resolutions this year was to drink more healthy fluids. Lately I’ve noticed that I’ve been feeling more and more dehydrated. At work, while walking the dog, at the gym. I even feel dehydrated while I’m drinking a tall glass of water.
Thanks to Q-HYDRATE528™ Oral Rehydration Solution from IVL, I can provide my body with all of the trace minerals it needs. From magnesium to potassium, my body is getting all of the nutrients it craves, quickly and efficiently with just 3/4 of a teaspoon a day.
Finally, a resolution that I can rock.
These boots were made for toning
Mukluks boots - Women’s Fitflop Mukluks fitness boots help tone your tush with every step
It’s New Year’s Eve and I’m in the midst of documenting my list of resolutions for 2010. Over the years I’ve come to learn that creating a lengthy list of things to change, improve or enhance will get me nowhere. 5+ items will only succeed in making me feel overwhelmed, cranky, guilty and depressed when I eventually become irresolute. These resolutions will ultimately end up ignored, recycled and added on to next year’s list.
This year I’m keeping it short and sweet, so I actually have a chance at making something happen.
In 2010 I resolve to:
1. Breathe.
2. Drink more water.
3. Make my butt look spectacular in jeans.
These Mukluks Boots from Bliss World will make number 3 easier than shelling out a small fortune on gym memberships and best of all, they look pretty tight while they tighten.
A watch that moves me
Vibrating alarm wrist watch - Vibrates for a silent alarm on your wrist
I have a long list of things I need to be reminded of every day.
Call him, call her. Pick up this, drop off that. Withdraw, deposit, eat, clean…wash, rinse, repeat. I’m so busy that if I don’t get in my daily reminders, I will forget to perform even the simplest tasks (i.e. bathroom breaks).
The last thing I want to do is disrupt the entire office with my twenty-something alarms going off every hour, which is why my Vibrating Alarm Wrist Watch from SoundBytes is a godsend. It’s like a silent personal assistant who nudges me whenever I need to be nudged.
In fact, I’m vibrating right now. Time to feed the cat.
Pastabracadabra
Magic plate lets you twirl your spaghetti right on your plate
I love ah all da tings Italian. I order my lunch from Domenick’s Pizzeria around the corner almost ah every single day. I love ah da Grandma’s pizza, I love ah da Pasta E Fagioli, I love ah da spaghetti.
The only ting that is not buonissimo, is when I get ah da spaghetti all over my clothes. I ah very messy spaghetti eater. Now I can twirl-ah my pasta without getting it all over my pretty white pants with the Magic Plate from Artistica.
Watch me eat, I’m like-ah David Copperfield with a plate of angel hair and a meatballs. One minute my spaghetti there, then it disappear, like magic.
Light up your life
Art lamp shades - Custom lamp shades featuring your very own photo art
My three kids are the apples of my eye, the jewels in my crown, the lights of my life…
I love them and I love decorating and lighting up my home with designer lighting fixtures, so why not combine my two passions with these Giclée Art Lamp Shades from LAMPS PLUS?
Seriously, they’ll take my favorite photos of my offspring and make gorgeous custom lamps out of them.
Now my kids will always have it made in the shade.
Pashmina envy
Orange pashmina - Two toned pashmina scarf in orange shades of melon and peach
I’m passionate about pashminas.
They saved my neck during my brisk trip to New York this past Thanksgiving and I loved mine so much, I bought one for my co-worker Samara in her favorite color. The gift exchange went a little something like this-
Me: Knock knock.
Samara: Who’s there?
Me: Orange.
Samara: Orange who?
Me: Orange you glad I bought you an orange Pashmina?
This two-toned Orange Pashmina from Kellsons Pashminas comes in two ripe flavors of melon and peach which means it’s packed with more than your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C.
