This is something I get a lot of use for and if you’re like me who basically enjoy lighting up fragrance oils, incense and such….you’d love having one of these, too. These are Thumb Size USB Fragrance Oil Burner that helps to keep rooms smelling nice and inviting — our bedroom, office, car, the bathroom, the living room, practically any room you’re in (Oh, and as long as you have a computer with a USB port, of course!).

Fragrance oil helps me relax and clear my head. It soothes not only my tired body but my tired mind.

The oil comes in four fragrances and I just love all of it:

• Rose
• Jasmine
• Peppermint
• Lavender

Each USB will cost you about $8 at Brando.

Working on your laptop or computer can be such a party pooper, especially on Saturdays nights and weekends when you could be out there partying. But what can you do if you have deadlines to beat? If you’re missing out on the party scene, then this might cheer you up a bit — the USB Disco Ball Mouse.

Dress up your desk or work area with it. The bright pink colors and the flashing lights are a bit entertaining don’t you agree? I know it’s not going to be an ultimate party replacement. But it sure makes up for those boring and tedious weekends beating the deadlines.

I have this microwave at home that makes it possible to grill food and not use the microwave feature. I know of microwaves that can do more than that and acts as a second oven. But, I’ve never seen a microwave that actually has a toaster feature —- where you literally can put bread on the slot. Suffice to say, I love toast in the mornings and I would definitely want one of this!

It’s one of LG’s newest products. But I love the idea that it can de-clutter my kitchen counter since I have two appliances in one with this.

This attractive and compact microwave combines two appliances into one. Among its many features, this unit boasts a toaster that’s perfect for your bagels and 9 toasting levels to suit all of your needs.

Beauty Queen in training?

Check out Ergoskin underwear.

The fabric that makes up with item of clothing has sensors woven into it and it’s supposed to detected whether your slouching or not keeping your back straight. Tiny electrical impulses should jolt you right back into sitting up straight. Clearly, this one isn’t for slackers and those who would love nothing more than to just lounge around.

Ergoskin actually won a design award for its concept. It’s not in the market yet as it remains just that — a concept.

If it does become a regular piece of clothing, I’m pretty sure it would cost a lot. Also, I wonder how one should wash this?

The Ergoskin is designed by Talia Elena Radford Cryns.

Computer Choppers thinks the MacBook Air needs some sprucing up and has decided to bling up the already stunning laptop. First they changed the famous Apple logo and set sapphire stones on it, one that actually reflect the colors of the rainbow. Then they turned the case into a 24k gold plated beauty.

I’m literally dazzled by it! Rather than use it for work or surfing the internet, I would much rather have a laptop like this placed on display at Tiffany’s or a bank vault somewhere.

The precious transformation will cost about $8000…a price too steep maybe, but you know what? It’s getting a lot of positive raves and responses from Mac users, especially those who can afford it. So, Computer Choppers must be doing something right!

From the creative minds of these women — Ginny Mesina, Sherry Li, Nasrin Roya, Huma Zaidi, Lillian Tam and Jenny Vi — who know how much frustrating it is for women to keep forgetting stuff inside their bags, comes this LadyBag. It’s a crafty, nifty gadget in itself. The bag lights up when one of your necessary gadgets isn’t inside it. It’s a convenience women can rely on whenever you leave the house for work or are meeting the girls for coffee.

How does the bag know it’s missing what you need? First, you have to put an RFID tag to your valuables. RFID tags are pretty common these days, you can get it at popular retail stores. It’s the same thing that works when you forget to pay for an item and the alarm bells go off.

One another feature of the LadyBag is that it shows a wide range of emotions, much like women! It’s entertaining really. Like for instance, when you fiddle with the zipper, the LadyBag will show its nervous side. If you clutch it, the bag will show a smiley face, thinking it’s been hugged.

Are you fond of Photoshopping? I have it on my computer but I’m still not familiar with a lot of its tools and brushes. I used it to create this site’s header, so you can probably see — I’m terrible at it!

Someday though, I hope to learn how to work around a Photoshop program like an expert and then retouch photos like how it’s done on this video:

It takes a lot patience and skill for someone to be able to do this.

But, I know…I know…it’s faking “beauty”. Although, sometimes I think that people do like to see their pictures done this way. I live with someone who does photographs for a living and you can’t imagine the amount of requests he gets for from people asking for an “enhancement” of their portraits. And they do like what they see!

To honestly say you don’t like seeing your own photoshopped picture because it “doesn’t look real” seems more fake, doesn’t it?  I know you like it.

Well ladies, I know there’s a bad girl lurking inside of us we don’t often get to show people. And here’s where the virtual reality game, Miss Bimbo comes in.

When you sign up, here’s what you’re expected to do:

• Get a job to pay for your expensive and expansive fashion taste.
• Find a nice crib
• Hook up with the in crowd and mingle with other social wanna be’s

I think this game was inspired by Paris Hilton.

The site has grown to have over 200,000 members, not all of them are women but men unleashing their inner bimbos, too!

The idea is for lovers to use this pen to write on each other’s skin…and it’s not exactly an idea I would disregard so quickly. See, like most women, I love chocolates. And as a married woman, this concept does help spice things up in the bedroom!

Wouldn’t this be fun to do? Doodle on each others’ body and then erase them off with one’s tongue. It’s both sexy and appetizing…you’re either gonna get hungry or horny (as one Ross would say on the TV show, Friends).

The chocolate pen contains 40 grams of the following: sugar, refined vegetable oil, glucose, cocoa powder, milk powder, lactose, soy lecithin, vanillin, artificial colour (129) and strawberry essence. It has approximately 235 KCal.

Latest Buy sells it for $15.
