Chocolate Bar iPhone Case: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 07:00:00 -0800

This iPhone case is one of the more random iPhone accessories I've ever come across. The Chocolate iPhone Case ($15) is made from silicone and shaped like a chocolate bar.

It's not the first food-themed case I've seen - there was the bacon-and-eggs case that most of you weren't crazy about - so how do you feel about this one?

Fab Find: Forever 21 Double Finger Rings

Fab Community — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 02:47:22 -0800

Here's a fun post FashionWithoutGuilt shared in the Cheap Chic group.

Rings are one of my favorite accessory items. They are simple, but yet, add a sense of personality to any ensemble. My recent favorite trend are the double finger rings. I absolutely love them. They are the modern day brass knuckles. I like the play on the element of "bad ass" with a splash of class. Forever 21 features several Double Finger Rings for only $2.80. Who can beat that, I bought each and every one. I know, what a shame! And, they are a great Christmas gift idea for something small, but memorable. I bought each of my sisters a pair, and some for my "Bestie for the Restie" (best friend). Are you obsessed with double finger rings?

There are already a bunch of groups you can join and explore, and please - start some new ones! Here's a helpful guide to creating in case you need some clarification.

"It is better to give than to receive" is a lesson mom often tries to teach her wee ones. Some companies are practicing what we preach this holiday season. Mommies can feel good about handing off their hard earned money to these businesses knowing that a percentage (be it small) is going towards philanthropic efforts and helping some less fortunate children have a better and brighter holiday.

I'm spending the holiday weekend on a remote island, so I won't be hitting any stores today, though if I were back in San Francisco, I'd definitely be tempted by all the Black Friday deals! What about you?

Be Body Wise on Black Friday

FitSugar — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 04:30:55 -0800

Shopping maven Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City famously said "Shopping is my cardio." These days heading to the stores on Black Friday is more like a contact sport. As retail stores kick off the holiday season with crazy sales, I have a few tips on keeping your body happy while shopping.

Be kind to your feet. Wear the comfiest shoes you own. You may not be the type to wear your running shoes when not exercising, but channel Carrie B. and think of this as exercise.
When standing in line, don't lock your knees. Keep this joint slightly bent. Also avoid shifting your weight from one leg to the other and jutting your hip out, as this can throw your back out of alignment and cause you pain.
When your load becomes too heavy to bear, walk your bags to your car and then resume shopping.
If your back bothers you while standing in line, take a moment to casually squat down and stretch your low back. It feels great.
I would also set a time limit on shopping, and to do so, plan on attending a yoga class to stretch out and de-stress after surviving the busiest shopping day of the year.

It's that time of year again - though you might be too stuffed with turkey dinner to even think about moving, the promise of Black Friday discounts is pretty motivational, and usually gets me into a store or two. Last year, quite a few of you chose to stay out of the mall, but there were definitely some brave, savvy shoppers who made it a point to hit the sales. What say you this year? Are you out for a good deal or staying home to avoid the shopping madness?
