A Must-Have In Every Woman’s Wardrobe

barbara

I was browsing the internet earlier today and fell in love with this timeless wrap dress from Banana Republic. A wrap dress is such a flattering piece of clothing and complements all figures.  This classic dress does not go out of style and never fail to impress.  This long-sleeve faux wrap dress is made of 95% rayon and 5% spandex.  It is available in matte navy or silky coal. A steal at $98.  I have just placed my order online and can’t wait for it to arrive.  In the meantime, I better start working out on my elliptical if I want to look good in my long-sleeve faux wrap dress.

You Have A Message

on your toast, that is.  “Huh? What’s that?” you asked?  Sasha Tseng, a Taiwanese designer has developed a toaster which allows messages to be incorporated on your toast.  With this Toast Messenger, you can burn your custom messages in your handwriting onto slices of bread. What a brilliant idea.  There is no better way to get your message across in the morning than on your favourite spread eh?  You can even draw some cute designs on the toast for your kids.  Check out Yankodesign.com for more info.

Funky Toolbox For The Baby Room

Ain’t this little toolbox cute?  It is great to clear some clutter in the baby room.  The caddy holds up to a dozen diapers, creams, ointments, powder and other necessity items.  This Skip*Hop toolbox from TheFunkyMonkeyBaby.com has built-in handle which enables it to be moved from bedroom to bathroom or to any other room at home easily.  It also has 2 side pockets which are removable as well as two drawers that can be acessible from either side. I wonder if they have similar toolbox for adults.  Would be great to have a bright and colourful toolbox to keep all the necessary tools and bearings.

Check out this really cool instant inflatable pool from iwantoneofthose.com. You do not need any fancy pumps or pool supplies to inflate it.  It can hold itself up with the water you fill it with. All you need to do is to inflate the top edge ring and as you fill the pool, the water will lift the sides.  What a brilliant idea. This pool is 8ft wide, 2ft deep and only takes minutes to set up and dismantle.  It is made from heavy duty 3 ply PVC and polyester.  Great for the family to have a good dip when the weather is warm.  Get one now if you want to keep cool this summer.

If you are a clean freak like me, I am sure you are going to love this Wild Rose Fragrance Dissolving Paper Soap from Organize.com.  It is one of the most convenient and hygenic ways to clean your hands when no soap is available.  The Dissolving Paper Soap has 30 single use soap sheets in a set ($6).  All you need to do is take out a sheet and add some water.  It does not contain liquid so it is completely safe to be carried on board a flight.  Definitely a lifesaver for outdoor enthusiasts or frequent flyers.

My Friend’s New House

barbara

During the Chinese New Year, I visited my good friend at her new house.  She and her family moved in about one month ago.  Boy, the house is huge and really beautiful.  It is a bungalow complete with a swimming pool.  There are 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and 2 kitchens.  The house is tastefully furnished and I must say that my friend is very good when it comes to decorating her home.  She uses very simple but elegant decor items and everything is in the shade of brown and white.  Just lovely like those Wilmington NC real estate houses.
