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?

Missed your period? You think you’re pregnant? Don’t stay in the dark with this p-teq USB Pregnancy Test Kit from Think Geek. I know it sounds icky, but I am not kidding, its a pregnancy test kit.

Here’s how it works, you know the drill, you pee and you put a few drops in the test strip. Insert the included test strip on the other end of the USB and the opposite end to your USB port in ur pc/laptop. The power from your USB port starts the process creating a spectrograph of various masses for your analysis.

The mass spectrometry software on the device comes with several sequenced hormones, including hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin), hCG-H (hyperglycosylated hCG – for detection before your first missed period), and LH (luteinizing hormone – for detection of your most fertile days).

So whatever that is, with this handy USB pregnancy test kit from p-teq you will know if you’re pregnant or not, your fertile days, when to get it on and when not to get it on. You can see the exact concentration via the included software with user-friendly interface.

The LCD screen display will light up and show you the symbol of a baby, no baby, or multiples and your Estimated Delivery Date based on the concentration of hCG, hCG-H, and LH in your urine.

Cool huh? It boasts 99% accuracy! I know it sounds unbelievable for a small device but its only $17.99 yours for the taking! The features are:

  • No batteries required – draws power from USB
  • USB 2.0 compatible
  • Plug and play, easy operation
  • Operating Systems: Win 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, Linux 2.4 or higher, Mac OS 8.6 or higher
  • 20 test strips included
  • 99% accuracy*

With this device being handy, no need to run to the store to buy a pregnancy test kit when you need it most. But visit your physician to know the real score. But if it didn’t work as it promised, at least you added something new in your USB collection.

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.

Something new for frequent travelers. The world’s first Sand Hotel recently constructed in Weymouth Beach, Weymouth, England. Made of 1,000 tons of sand. As you can see, the room is twin sharing and double bed. CasaSugar found this hotel who is first-come, first served basis and 10 pounds a night. Only accepts cash, no credit cards please. I wonder where the CR is located? Maybe that little green pail at the foot of the bed was displayed for that purpose… :D Will you stay in this kind of weird hotel?
