When I first saw this Washable Mouse on TV, I was like “Oh yeah awesome.” This is a perfect mouse for someone with OCD (Obssessive Compulsive Disorder) because you can wash your Mouse everyday if it makes you happy. You can soap it too as much as your heart’s desire, it is water resistant. Belkin boasts their Washable Mouse, but if you like something cordless Unotron 2.4 gHz washable wireless mouse is the one for you. I think even if you don’t have OCD, you might like to own one of these.  Microbiologists said that our keyboard is five times dirtier than the toilet seat and that is excluding the Mouse. Will these Mice do its job? You can read some of the reviews here. But hey, if this Mouse disappoints you with its performance at least you have the cleanest Mouse in town.

When I’m out shopping I don’t miss the home area section of the mall in search of the “It” tea set that will make me enjoy my tea better. So when I came across this Red-Crowned Crane Inner Painting Tea Set from Good Orient, I thought of it as unique and pretty. Makes you wonder how they were able to paint inside the tea set? Me too.

“Inner Painting,” or painting inside glass spheres or snuff bottles, originated during the Ming Dynasty. The craft came about when the elegant art of painting and ceramics making in China had reached a peak.

Its awesome how they were able to paint the image of the red-crowned crane perfectly inside the tea set. In Feng Shui, cranes are symbol of rejuvenation. A crane’s wing was used as amulet against tiredness and exhaustion, because people admired it for untiring strength in flight. Placing a metal crane sculpture in the garden symbolizes long life.

I just hope the paint won’t rub off when I made my fave cup of tea in this tea set. But still, I fancy it for its beauty and uniqueness.

Do you have a Gmail account? Well, if you do, you may want to check out their new 31 awesome themes! The above are sample themes. Almost all designs were developed by Google. Why I’m loving it?

Some themes change during the day, and they use the location information you provide to correctly time these changes with your local sunrise, sunset, and/or weather.

Like my current fave theme in my Gmail account is the “Tea House”. It’s a Japanese garden with a “Cat” that changes his activities based on the time of the day. Right now, he is lighting all the lanterns of the garden. Pretty cute Cat I must say. I named him “McGyver.” Good thing Google thought about creating new artsy themes, it just made my Gmail experience enjoyable. If you don’t have a Gmail account yet, you may want to try it. What is your fave theme?

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.

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.

Drinking tea is good for one’s health. And nothing excites me than finding a cute, artsy, awesome teapots. I was just looking for a glass tea kettle but seeing the Museum Glass Teapot like an “art form” is truly awesome. Its like a teapot and incense in one. I swear I love VivaTerra! They have eco-friendly products to die for at reasonable prices.

When leggings came back in fashion, I was 100% sure I have nothing to do with leggings. But let’s admit that second to jeans, leggings have been one of the most comfy wear for everyday use. You can just wear a nice sexy shirt and leggings, you’re all set. But nowadays, I see women get away with wearing super mini skirt or very skimpy shorts with the help of good-old leggings. Fabsugar found a “new line” of leggings that she called un-ordinary. These are cropped leggings and comes in different styles and materials. The cutey Mesh legging above is from Suh-Tahn. You can find all these fab leggings at tobi.


But if you’re on a tight budget but still wanna look fab, try this 3-Multi Pack laced leggings and leopard inspired leggings.

With the help of good-old leggings, no more reason for you to hide those mini skirts and skimpy shorts!

I am officially addicted to foot spa! I consider my feet very delicate and intimate so I never go to a salon for a pedicure. I do my own pedicure and manicure.  But because a friend talks so much about how good having  a foot spa feels, I decided to try it one day. And whoa! Its one of the best relaxing and feel-good pampering of oneself. After my foot spa, my feet is more delicate than ever and I felt like my whole being was refreshed. I now do believe that some toxins or stress in our body can be removed by way of relaxing and massaging our feet. To make sure I have a weekly foot spa without breaking the bank, I purchased my own home spa that consists of the following: a foot massage spa, pumice stone to soften calluses and rough skin, nail brush, foot soak, foot scrub (I love the ones with peppermint), foot spray and finish off with foot balm.

But I think foot spa will revolutionize itself. I heard so much about people going ga-ga over some foot spa that uses fish as live foot scrubber/sucker of dead skins? Sounds icky but many swore its so effective.  So where does this school of fish came from? These fishes are originally from Northern and Central Middle East. The species are called Garra rufa and Cyprinion macrostomus. These fishes have so many nicknames, “Doctor Fish”, “nibble fish”, “sucker fish”, etc. The name “Doctor Fish” is popular because it says that these fishes can cure skin diseases like psoriasis. There have been a lot of fish spa in Asia and now starting in the US. I think I will try one soon for the experience of it. I swear I am very ticklish but having a fish spa will take me to the next level. You can watch these fishes in action here.

I love coffee, I drink 2-3 cups a day. My day won’t be complete without my dose of a warm yummy coffee. Consequently, I fancy everything in relation to coffee like cute, functional and collectible mugs. So when I saw this heated travel mug I was drooling over it and wants to add to my collection. Its well insulated so your coffee or tea won’t get cold asap. You can plug it into your computer’s USB port or car’s 12-volt adapter to warm 16 oz. of liquid. This is great for people on the go or someone like me who likes my coffee warm while I blog. Keep a fresh mug of coffee or tea warm, or re-heat it with this practical, functional, good looking mug, and this is only $24.99, your choice of color – blue or red.

Have you experienced your cell phone “dying” on you when you needed it most? Its a total bummer when it happens. I experienced that one time and I need to make an important call. I couldn’t find a telephone booth. I was on wits end. Practically, almost everyone have a cell phone, especially now that affordable cell phones are readily available, thanks to giant manufacturers who keep on releasing new designs/models of cell phones that comes out like every year. Some people are rarely seen without their cell phone, as in they don’t know what to do without it. I like my cell phone because I maximize its use for my benefit, aside from its my lifeline to mickey mouse, I use it for business too. Yes, I’m guilty, I’m one of those rarely seen without my cell phone. :D

Good thing there are awesome inventions such as coin-operated cell phone charger that lets you charge your cell phone when you need it most. This coin-operated cell phone charger was invented by a Filipino Engineer named Aquilino Tubigan, Jr. His invention won the Gold Medal Award in the International New Products Expo in Pennsylvania, USA last month. How does it work? You insert a coin, (5.00 pesos) and you can charge your cell phone for 10 minutes. You add more coins if you want to charge your cell phone longer. The machine boasts that it can charge all cell phone models. Cool huh? Another Filipino invention to be proud of. You can watch him here.
