wireless: sonos music system

pkimbui — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:09:28 +0000

Uhm, I want this. The Sonos system is wireless. It plays from iTunes, Pandora and not to mention that you can control it from your iPhone.

I have been dying for a wireless stereo system. Anyone want to get this for me?

polka dot keychain

pkimbui — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 15:41:24 +0000

I apologize for the lack of posts. I have a family thing going on, but I’ll get back to it now.

I love this tiny little keychain that is way cuter than what I’ve got. It’d be a great stocking stuffer for just about anyone.

review: cosmo’s sexiest beauty secrets

pkimbui — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 14:40:11 +0000

I’m going to be honest. I gave up on reading Cosmo a long time ago.

The articles started to repeat themselves and I didn’t need anymore tips for the bedroom. Really.

So I was a little skeptical when they offered to send me a book of sexy beauty secrets. I was not quite sure what sexy beauty entailed.

The book is really, like many beauty books, a compilation of tips for your skin hair and more. It’s not a book for people who have every beauty product known to man in their bathroom.

This is a probably a good book for your sister who wears makeup, but doesn’t know what to do with it. Or maybe your 16-year-old niece who just got into skincare. It’s well put together and organized, with great illustrations.

I did really like some of the tips in the book. They were kind of like the beauty editor secrets you find in magazines, spread equally all over the book.

help! there’s a headache comin’

pkimbui — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 18:16:10 +0000

Having a headache is one thing, having a adorable package of acetaminophen that instantly makes your headache go away is another.

The Help I Have Headache tablet is a pretty little packet you can definitely leave out to show the world that you’re prepared. There’s also a Help I’ve Cut Myself packet.

I hope they come out with more.

Get the Help I Have A Headache packet.

site I like: juliet shops

pkimbui — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:00:33 +0000

My dad is a hard guy to shop for. Generally, he’s happy with just a phone call for Father’s Day, but that is just not enough, really. I can’t seem to decide whether he’s a gadget type or a gardener type.

Juliet Shops is a site where the work is done for you. Like Violet, it groups gifts based on his interests. Not sure still? You can take a quiz to find appropriate gifts.

Go shopping for something perfect.

good idea: lifestraw

pkimbui — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:26:47 +0000

Lifestraw is a great idea. He can provide about 15,000 liters of drinking water per family. We take water for granted sometimes. It’s not always clean everywhere and it’s not always free.

They wrote more about it over at Inhabitat. It seems like such a simple, great solution to a huge problem.

Find out more about the Lifestraw project.

Do you want to help? You can donate $15 to the Ft Lauderdale Rotary Club and you can help a family in Tanzania, Malawi and Ghana. They’re working to give 10,000 Lifestraws to the area.
