Before I begin to look for diet pills that work, I thought I would share with you this lovely gift bows idea from How About Orange. Everyone knows that I love paper craft. So when I saw these pretty recycled gift bows made from yellow pages, I was thrilled. First, cut out 1 inch wide strips from pages of the book. Then cut a few full-length strips as well as a few strips that are 3″ shorter. Form the strips into an “eight” shape and tape the ends in the center. Arrange the longer strips to form a circle and staple it in the middle. Repeat with the shorter strips and add the single loop to the center using double-sided tape. For more craft ideas, do visit How About Orange.

It has been 2 weeks since an earthquake with magnitude of 9.0 hit Japan followed by a devastating tsunami which left thousands dead and missing. Several nuclear power plants are in serious condition and continue to spew radioactive contamination to the environment. Many retailers have reached out to help. Japan’s largest retailer, Uniqlo, donated $25.6 million. Gap has created a limited edition Tee in solidarity with the people of Japan and to support the relief effort. All profits will be channelled to the GlobalGiving Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund. If you would like to donate, do visit Gap for more information.

Have you heard of JakPak? Well outdoor enthusiasts are going to love this. JakPak is actually a jacket with a built-in tent and a built-in sleeping bag. How cool is this? Made from breathable but waterproof urethane coated ripstop nylon / polyester fabric, the sleeping bag can be unfurled from the sides of the jacket. Great for keeping you warm and cozy for the night. Next time when you head out to the woods, there is no need to bring along a tent and a sleeping bag. Just wear a JakPak. Talk about travelling light. I am thinking of getting one for my spouse because he enjoys camping with his friends. I am sure JakPak can also keep his nikon camera batteries and camera safely too.

I love wearing cardigans. They are so comfortable and I also love the layered look. You can wear wool in winter or cotton ones in the summer months. Cardis are also very versatile. They look great with skirts, shorts, jeans and can be worn on any occasions. Before I start reading up on rfid, I thought I would show you some of the cardigans that I love right now and they are from my favourite store – J Crew.

Kids, mine included, do not like to wash their hands or brush their teeth. Even if they do, they tend to do it as quickly as possible, which is not really a good thing because they won’t be able to wash away the germs effectively. This Wash & Brush 2-Minute Timer is designed to teach the children to slow down. Press the appropriate button and the green light will start flashing. When its near the expiry period, the light flashes faster and then turn red when done. This timer is a fun way to promote good hygiene in children. So each time when the child wants to wash his/her hands or brushes their teeth, let them press the button and start washing away. Get one now from Trendykid.co.uk

I was at Martha Stewart just now to look for some inspiration on how to D-I-Y some wedding decorations. My cousin is getting married in a few months time and is planning the wedding decor herself. As a person who loves crafts, she would like to handmade the wedding decor using paper. I found a few inspiring decor from Martha Stewart and hopefully they will give my cousin some great ideas for her garden wedding.

Do you love clogs? Or do you just hate them? They were very popular last year and is still in style this year. How do you wear your clogs ladies? With shorts during Spring and Summer? I just can’t get enough of them. I have 2 pairs now and plan to get more. I was at Swedish Hasbeens just now to check out their collection. Awesome I say. They even have Hasbeen for children. I am so in love!
