How to Tie a Bow Tie
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009Ipod Silicone Cases
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009
I love my iPod silicone case! I am obsessive about preventing scratches and fingerprints on shiny surfaces. Before I started using a silicone case, by I was constantly trying to wipe smudges and finger prints off my beloved MP3 player. I even tried knitting an “iPod sock” for it, but I had to take it out to access the controls, causing those obnoxious prints.
My mother gave me an iPod silicone case for Christmas, and it has seriously lowered my frustration level. I am able to see the screen and adjust the volume while protecting it from marks and keeping that beautifully shiny silver back scratch-free.
Kids Need Sunglasses, Too
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009Children may not be as interested as adults are in the fashion aspect of sunglasses, but since most kids spend much more time outdoors and in direct sunlight than most adults, UV protection for th
eir eyes is extra important.
Children should wear real sunglasses that indicate the UV-protection level just like adults. Children are particularly susceptible to UV exposure; the effects of UV radiation exposure are cumulative and can lead to eye disease later in life.
Fabulously Fashionable Faux
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009Faux (pronounced foe) is of French origin, and, literally translated, means fake. The word faux is often refers to artificial or imitation products. Some of the common products you will see are faux fur, wood, leather, suede, finish, faux pearls. Faux products can be 
of as high or higher quality as their “authentic” counterparts but more affordable and, in some cases, more durable or longer lasting.
Faux fur, sometimes called synthetic or imitation fur, is quickly becoming a trend followed buy even the most stylish fashionistas. Much of the population is morally or ethically opposed to wearing animal fur but still want to love the look and feel. For this growing segment of the population, the best alternative is simulated fur. Since it is a man-made product, synthetic fur can be made thicker, thinner, warmer, softer, or in a variety of desired textures for a fraction of the price.
