Girl Gadgets

 Cool gadgets aren't only for boys. I get excited when I find something that's cool, quirky and serves its purpose in not only a functional but fun way. I have always had certain reserves when it comes to the use of cell phones and the radiation they give off when you put it up to your ear. Near your brain.  When it comes to health there is  already  enough bad stuff that can happen to us  that is beyond our control, so my advice is  do whatever is within your reach  to take care of yourself. I found a  pretty cool gadget to fend off brain cancer, a retro handset from www.yubz.com.  There are lots of  them to choose from, starting at US $39.96

Warning: you might get laughed at when breaking it out of your purse, but whoever doesn't get brain cancer laughs last, and best.

Happy yapping!

The Beauty Quest

One thing about being a housewife..you can't look like crap. Everyone knows you have all the time in the world so no one will be able to understand why you haven't combed your hair, or fixed those chipped nails. I have managed to find ways to look decent without breaking the piggy or becoming Narcissus. In my quest for effortless beauty I have found that a good haircut is key. There is some major talent around here, problem is they charge anywhere from US$100 to $750. Ay Cisco, how I miss thee. Anyway, the solution? go on wwww.salonapprentice.com where licensed cosmetologists pursuing higher training look for hair models every day. I went on it and picked Kevin Baker of the Mizu Salon on 505 Park Avenue. I could not be happier.I had over $200 worth of services at a majorly discounted price. Hurry and make your appointments,the bargains of today are the Fekkais of tomorrow.

Home Improvement 101

   I have moved into a New England boy scout's dream home.  My home decor consists of Mallard lamps, animal decoys, and a table in the shape of a dog holding a platter in his mouth. As much as I have grown fond of Matt's "Sir Houndstooth" table, I find myself  constantly thinking of ways to inject bits of my kookier taste in what is now our little abode...My new discovery? Using chalkboard paint on walls! Fear not my friends,when used well, black isn't goth or creepy, it's a great alternative to give your walls personality. I used the  Rust Oleum Chalkboard Paint they sell at Home Depot which retalis for           US $24.97. All you have to do is paint over your blah walls and voila!!

Have fun and go with it!

Four score and seven years ago.....

Nah, it hasn't been that long. I have been living in the US for over four months now. Four months of being a Greenwich, Connecticut housewife. A far cry from El Salvy.You probably expect this to be a blog about whining and moaning, but I've done enough of that to my kind neighbors Carol and Jen.... instead I want to share the funny, ironic, exciting and the just plain stupid things I do to fill my days....
