The Apple iPad is out, everyone is going crazy to buy one. According to Crunch Gear, iPad sales estimated to top 120,000 on the first day. Apple fanatics, cults and geeks made sure Steve Jobs to be a very happy man. Now that “The iPad” is out, the battle starts among sellers of consumer electronics accessories to come up with cool accessories to make the iPad experience worth the wait. The iPad waterproof case, I must say is functional and something I would like to buy for my (to buy wish list) iPad. The iPad waterproof case will not just protect your iPad from water, but as well as dust, dirt, sand and other elements. The strap enables you to wear it around your neck or shoulder with adjustable straps. The waterproof case will let you be with your beloved iPad whenever, wherever.

Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, Tori Spelling to name a few are wearing purple power dresses and accessories. No wonder its the latest color trend this season! I think purple is very much a color of the season and the weather. In fact, purple is considered most beautiful and aristocratic especially during the Holy week. In Feng Shui, purple or violet is the color of thoughtfulness and calm, of careful thought through actions, of balance between spirit and mind, passion and intellect, but also love and wisdom, since it consists of equal parts of red and blue.

I don’t have many purple stuff because I considered it as a strong color for me. But when I feel like it, I like  wearing something purple because I feel as though I stand out in a crowd when I wear one. So for those looking for purple colors to add to their closet, here are some fab stuff I found to suit your budget, either you want to splurge or look for great steals!

The SPLURGE! Morphine Generation Familia Tee $64; Diesel Kaled Jacket $546; Bulga Kati Alo Bag $678 all from eModa.

The STEALS! Nor Cal Brushed Womens Tee $15.97; Full Tilt Faux Leather Women’s Jacket $29.99; Roxy handbag $39.99 all from Tilly’s.

Here’s some feng shui gift ideas under $25! that might inspire you and make your loved ones happy.

Jade Elephant Pendant in 14k gold $21.99

Elephants are popular and important animal symbol. Walks quietly with heavy feet, embodies earthly reality – Mother Earth, who patiently carries our burden and life’s power – paired with great and undefeated vitality, strength and wisdom. In feng shui, wearing an elephant jewelry like the pendant above attracts energy, strength and wisdom. If you have a loved one or a friend who lacks vitality, wearing this pendant might boost his/her spirit. And who doesn’t want to receive a jade jewelry? I will certainly jump for joy if someone will give me this awesome pendant.

Feng Shui Lucky Coins with Brocade $12.95

The feng shui lucky coins and brocade is what really sparked my interest to learn more about feng shui. Its the first feng shui symbol I tried that worked for me. I needed something to attract regular cashflow so I tried these lucky coins. Here’s how it worked for me >>> First activate your feng shui coins by placing it in a metal bowl and hit the metal bowl to create sound. Next, wrap the coins with a 1 dollar bill (or any bill you like) and put it inside the brocade and place it in your wallet, safe or wherever you store your money. Then wait for the cashflow! You will observe that money comes in smoothly than before. This is a great gift to yourself, family and friends.

Lucky Bamboo $19.99

The bamboo has always been popular in China. They compared it to a noble master, because it never changes. The tree stands upright and proud through every season and the worst storms, always convinced of its power. Its a symbol of trust and permanence. In feng shui, bamboos are symbol of the element Wood and therefore growth and prosperity. Its considered lucky as a fast-growing evergreen plant. The more your bamboo plant grows, the more it attracts prosperity and wealth. Inside the home, a bamboo plant is very effective in softening corners, reducing loss of energy through large windows, and providing needed support for Wood or Fire people. Added bonus – its a hardy plant that grows indoor with little care. Plus its a wonderful home decor. You will fall in love with this lucky bamboo plant. Your family and friends will be happy to receive something unique this year.

Emperor Harp Wind Chime $16.99

Chimes are one of my fave home decors. I just love the pleasant sound it creates. The sound created should be clear, pure, and considered pleasant by the people living with them. Chimes are important feng shui remedies. They can be used to slow down or guide the flow of energy, or to announce a person entering a room or home. Chimes are effective even if they are motionless. Their effectiveness is based on their symbolic meaning – for warning and protection. The Emperor Harp Wind Chime from Woodstock is a nice gift for its pleasant sound and unique design.

Indoor Pond $19.99

Moving water symbolizes life and vitality. It attracts chi energy like a magnet and provides energy for life. It also activates “dead” corners and areas. It can also be a focal point at the entrance to an office or business. I just love the soothing water sounds. Its relaxing and makes me feel sleepy. Not to mention its a wonderful home decor that your family and friends would envy. But some important reminders – always make sure the water is clean, don’t place objects next to the fountain that belong to the fire element and don’t place the fountain in front of a window. Now you can enjoy your indoor fountain = 0 stress.

Electric Ceramic Oil Burner $9.98

Let’s add more essential stuff that will help you achieve a stress free life. People have burned incense for cleansing purposes and ritual ceremonies for long time. In more recent times, aromatherapy uses variety of fascinating fragrances as a way to touch the soul. In Feng shui, burning of incense is to cleanse and remove negative energies from a room or home. Daily incense burning is highly recommended in places where negative energies are particular strong, as in sickrooms, waiting rooms, places used for meditation or therapy, etc. But the best application is as follows – before moving into a new home or house, after an illness or conflict, anytime, depending on individual preferences, or as a regular ritual and daily, as support during meditation or relaxation. My fave essential oil is Lemon Essential Oil ($3.65).

I just feel invigorated and refreshed when I smell incense lemon oil burning. Are you stressed lately? Who wouldn’t be stressed with the holidays. Then try incense burning, its wonderful to your soul.

These gift ideas hope to ease your burden of thinking what gift to give this holiday. You can’t find any gift better than these steals! Happy holidays!

Sorry for the outage guys and gals, but I just moved in to a bigger and better server! The superman in my life asked me to hop in, he said, “Honey, the water is fine.” I was kinda not 100% about it, thinking the outage may last for days…or even weeks. But he was right! The move was super smooth as the name of the server implies. SmoothVPS is sooo smooth that moving from one server to another is a breeze. They boast for 99% uptime guarantee, premium network and premium hardware. I know my blog is still a baby (I just started last May!) but choosing the right and dedicated webhost/server for it is an important must-do to be able to continue what I love doing – blogging. Blogging has been so therapeutic (at least for me) and I want to continue doing it while I’m enjoying myself.

Are you on a Halloween fever already? Its the time of year that people have an excuse to wear costumes. Some women stress out on what costumes to wear and what parties to attend. Kids look forward to Halloween for trick or treat. But as for me, I don’t care about costumes and trick or treat. As long as I have a Halloween mug for my favorite Cappuccino. I particularly fancy the Witch’s Brew Coffee Mug from Wrapables because of its shape, looks sturdy and the caption is funny. The broom fits alrighty! The mug is dishwasher and microwave safe. So why not include this mug with your costume and you’re all set for Halloween. But if you want a more scary coffee mug to get the “look” you want, try the skull coffee mug. I don’t think I can drink coffee in this mug. I’m not a fan of skulls.

Do you have a boring and not-so-smooth walls? No more worries because the fab find of the week will give your walls a make-over that is trendy, modern and eco-friendly! The Embossed Wall Flats from Inhabit Living and Feel More Human is made of Bamboo pulp so no trees were harmed in making of this product. You can cover your imperfect walls and you can also customize each tile to show off the artist in you. What’s more you can put it in an entire room, one wall or a stand-alone art pieces. Isn’t that awesome?!

The designs are clean and modern and they provide easy to follow installation instructions. You can choose from the following designs – seesaw, industry, bud-bud, shangrila (above) and braille. My fave is bud-bud design because I love nature, I want that design in my room and paint it in mint green. The Embossed Wall Flats is good Feng Shui because it enhances “chi” energy in dead areas of a home. Just install the embossed wall flats in one wall and presto! You just activated good “chi” energy in a dead (dark, gloomy, boring) area.

I love using Post-it Sticky Notes. I use it at work and for personal reminders. I like its different colors, in fact the colorful the better. Paper cubes and Post-it sticky notes are life saver to someone like me who likes constant reminders of “to do.” So when I saw the new Post-it sticky notes made from recycled paper, I was elated. I was starting to feel guilty using too much paper. Although its made from only 30% recycled paper, 3M is eco-friendly.  The best part is, paper cubes made from 100% recycled paper is now available!!! Now I can use Post-it sticky notes and paper cubes without feeling guilty.
