This is way too cuuuute! The Metallic Mini Fridge keeps your food cool and warm. Did I say warm? Yes it can make your food stay warm.  Too bad it doesn’t warm the food like a microwave oven, that will rock! But hey the awesome thing about this is it’s portability and cuteness. Ok let’s go to the juicy details:

  • made of metal and plastic
  • great for office use and for travelers, just plug right into your car cigarette
  • measures 7.5 inches wide x 11 inches high x 9.75 inches deep
  • temperature ranges from 41 degrees to 149 degrees Fahrenheit
  • features detachable power cord, power on/off switch and red/green warming/cooling indicator lights.

This can be yours for only $59.95. I like the purple fridge. Similar products can be found at Get Organized.

If there’s one thing I look forward in eating at a Japanese, Korean or Chinese Restaurant it will have to be using Chopsticks! Especially when eating my favorite Ramen. My Chopsticks skill is not so bad but I end up using a spoon or fork to finish my meal. I can’t wait to eat the next bite. 

So if you’re bored, playing the Japanese Chopsticks Practice Game that I found from ThinkGeek will surely perk you up not to mention you will learn how to use Chopsticks like a pro. They say that, “Practice makes perfect,” but it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun while practicing to be perfect. So here’s a fun practice game:

Dump all the chicks into the little bowl. Then take turns picking them out. The smaller the chick, the harder they are to pick up, and the more points you get. And if you want to really get tough, you can pick out only one gender of chicks. That’s right – if you look really close, you’ll see that some chicks are boys (orange beaks) and some are girls (pink beaks and eyelashes).

Clever and fun game huh? That’s why I fancy this game. For the next level, you can try picking out Mung beans to test your skills. I bet by then you’ll beat Jacky Chan with your Chopsticks skills. So what are you waiting for? Get up, move your butt and start playing.

Nowadays the best decorating style is “minimalistic.” A space where you can dance ala-ballroom dancing when you want too in an instant. Your home not crammed with too much furniture, appliances, and home decors. The Tiki stool from Offi is just the solution you need to keep your home clutter free and “minimalistic.” It can be a side table and stool in 1! You can choose from a wide variety of colors – green, red, pink, black, white, blue… I particularly like the cute Tiki stool in black in my living room and the blue and pink in my bedroom. The best part is, its great for kids. You can find all these cute stools in Feel More Human for only $59 each, what a Fab store!

Do you have a lot of spare change? Don’t ignore those change! You can now put it in this cute digital counting piggy bank from Get Organized. The digital counting piggy bank as the name implies, counts and keep change digitally for you.  It has an LCD monitor screen that displays your total savings.  Features count-up/count-down controls to keep total accurate. You can easily twist the lid when its time for deposits and withdrawal.  Its not your ordinary piggy bank! I think kids will love this. It will teach them how to save and value money at a young age. Great gift idea for kids and adults as well. I know someone who keeps her spare change in the kitchen cabinet, in one of her China soup bowl!

I love Get Organized because they sell products that helps you organize and declutter your home, office, garden, etc. you name it, they have it! But if you want something more flashy, you may want to try the amazing fast coin sorter.

Do you love using styrofoam coffee cups? If you’re a big fan of those, why not try the mug of the day, a styrofoam-looking-coffee-cup that you can use…for life. The “I am Not a Paper Cup mug” is uniquely designed to imitate the styrofoam coffee cup, but in reality it is made of thermal porcelain with fitted silicone top. What I like about it? It’s eco-friendly, reusable, take-out style lid gives it the look of a real paper cup, holds 10 ounces, dishwasher safe, and perfect for hot or cold drinks. Plus, nothing beats drinking coffee in a porcelain cup. It just makes each mug of coffee even tastier.

Have you ever experienced papeclips in your desk whether at work or home a complete mess? I always have that problem. Sometimes they’re just everywhere! More so, I only want to use unused paperclips, so the cute find of the week is just the solution I need. The Alessi Dozi magnetic paperclip holder keeps my paperclips in order. Not to mention the porcupine looks pretty on top of my desk. Now I have easy access to paperclips when I need it. In fact, you can put anything in it as long as it can hold the magnet. Maybe a lose change perhaps? Or lucky I-Ching coins for prosperity. A cluttered workplace attracts bad chi. Your choice of color, this cute magnetic paperclip holder comes in pink and green.

When I saw this cool food timer at ThinkGeek I can’t help but smile. Imagine easy tracking of the number of days your food have been sitting in the refrigerator or pantry. You don’t need to worry about the mind boggling question if your salsa is still fresh without tasting let alone smelling it. You can use it for baby food, eggs, coffee, even medicines! How does it work? You just push the button and the LCD display starts counting down the number of days it’s been sitting. Hold down button to reset and place on a newly opened item. Below are more illustrations of its uses:

This cool food timer is yours for only $9.95 for a pack of 2. Sure, we all have “senior moments” from time to time in forgetting some things. Unless you want to have a big reminder board or post-it all over. What do you think?

I just finished my to do list for tomorrow and one of my to-do plan is to wake up around 6:00 am and walk-jog in the neighborhood. But I can sense that I cannot wake up that early tomorrow. (sigh) So much for to do list. I am a night person, so I usually exercise about 8:30 pm. But for months now, I am not able to do my routine exercise aside from walking home from work. I want to be a morning person, you know, wake up about 5:00 am, meditate, do some exercise (3x a week) then eat breakfast before I go to work. But I reach my peak when it’s night time, I am more productive and energetic. But maybe, finding this cute mobile alarm clock will help me become a morning person that I want to be. Clocky sounds like a droid. It can wake you up because you need to get up to find and shut the #$%@ alarm clock. I will definitely try this alarm clock. Have a hard time waking up? Do you drag yourself out of bed? You can have Clocky here. There are several colors to choose from. I like the chocolate clocky for a change.

Wanna see Clocky in action? Click here and see how Clocky struts its stuff. You will never be late for work, school, even on dates again.
