Most of us start out in a new place with the best intentions of keeping it clean and tidy (unlike our last residence). And yet, almost without fail, life gets busy, unexpected obligations come up, and you let the housework fall by the wayside. Piles begin to form and before your know it, your house […]
Food storage is no laughing matter. If you store items at the wrong temperature or package them improperly, you’re going to end up with spoilage, staleness, and even worse problems that cause your food to become unsafe before it is slated for expiration.
In this time of recession, all of us are looking for ways to conserve energy and cut back on our utility bills. For some this means taking up reading rather than watching TV or tooling around on the computer.
Have you ever wondered just what is in some of the foods you’re eating? Sure you can read the label, but with all the unpronounceable words to contend with (what the heck is monosodium glutamate anyway?) and the small problem of putting all those numbers into context (is 240 calories good or bad?) you may be scratching your head over what to make of the information.
Dating can present a host of difficulties for those who still frequent the scene. Getting to know a new person, learning what makes them tick, and trying not to mess up a good thing by being too, well…YOU…can be a frustrating and disheartening experience. You’re going to meet a lot of Mr. or Mrs. Wrongs before you find THE ONE, and the dates you choose have the potential to make or break a prospective relationship. If you knew the person better, you could definitely come up with something to impress, at least you could if you had the cash on hand for a 5-star restaurant, roses, and a limo. Unfortunately, you may have found yourself a little lighter in the wallet since the onset of the recession (when will it end?!).
Going to the shops without any list or even knowledge of what you have and haven’t got in the cupboards can be a disaster. You buy more than you need, and you buy things you might want at the time, but probably won’t later on. Your bill is astronomical and you might still not have the one thing you really needed.

Finding creative ideas to maximize space when living in a small apartment can be a daily challenge. If you live in a small space, you may be wondering if it is actually possible to maintain comfort and have a place for everything! Fortunately, however, there are some affordable ways to open things up when your living space is tight.
I enjoy useful, efficient apps that have a purpose, actually a lot of the apps on my iPhone I keep them because if their usefulness and functionality. Below are my Top 5 iPhone Apps:
Even though Christmas is still months away, and thoughts of mistletoe are the furthest thing from your mind as you laze away the long days of summer by the pool, it’s never too soon to start planning for the busy holiday season. Years past have found you scrambling to come up with those last-minute gifts and fighting desperate moms in the frozen foods section for the one and only ham left in the whole city on Christmas Eve. But picture this instead: come December, all of your gifts are bought, wrapped, and stored neatly in the closet.
If you aren’t on the social media bandwagon, then what are you waiting for? Social media and Twitter in particular is a must-do, especially if you are a website owner who wants to increase your exposure and bring more traffic to your site. The truth is that anyone who is anyone is tweeting, friending, updating, and broadcasting their content and personal brand – if you’re not participating on these sites, you’re not going to be considered credible (exception: you are already famous and are not using social media as a statement).
Getting my new iPhone on launch was as painless as I didn’t imagine. I think the most painful thing was waiting for it to launch and leaving the Blackberry team. Arriving at the Apple Store on 5th Avenue around 1:40pm, and seeing the line for the non-preorder made me appreciate waking up early on June 15th to Pre-order mine. A lil lack of sleep paid off. The pre-order line was very short and very organized, both lines were actually.
Yesterday, around 5:30pm I made my way around the Apple Store, location: 5th Avenue to see what the line was looking like and what I’ll be facing myself with the following day. As I made my way around to take the pic and record some video, I came across the number one guy on the Pre-order line, Greg Packer. I saw him on Mashable’s video the day before, he’s the dude in the bright orange shirt. I asked him how long he’s been here, he stated since Monday.
The lines are somewhat separated, across from where Greg is sitting, is the NON reservations line, the people with no pre-orders hoping to get a phone on June 24th.
The iPad Review!
This apparatus is just one big toy, one huge iTouch. I personally would not pay the insane amount of money this thing is worth. I would expect more for the money. Anyways, while strolling through 5th Avenue and seeing the crowd outside the Apple store I decided why not just go in the store and see what’s really special about the iPad. I’ve asked my Babycakes to review the iPad, so here you go:
Tired of your old phone? Tired of paying $60-$80 dollar for a monthly wireless plan? Tired of waiting for your 2-year contract to be up so you can go to another phone company only to do the same?! I know I am. Well, the SANYO Incognito seems like the solution to our problems.
This post is for Blackberry users that use Twitter on their phones. If you use ÜberTwitter, there’s a great upgrade, Beta-6. If you use Twitterberry, you should give ÜberTwitter a try, unless you can leave a comment with GREAT reason why we should all switch back to TwitterBerry…
There’s an update to BBM 5.0 I downloaded it yesterday and I can’t really tell “what’s new”, but according to Crackberry.com “the update includes some small tweaks here and there, including picture previews, smaller status text, improved groups and more.”
How often do we find ourselves spending more time emailing, typing documents, etc… on our Blackberry/PDAs than on our computers? I must admit I am guilty on all these charges! Well, I’m NOT ONLY a Blackberry addict, but I love my Mac if it could fit in my pocket, I would carry it everywhere! Anyways, […]
The leaked version of BBM 5.0 was released a few months ago, tons of BB users went straight for it, and after a day or two many hated it, some liked it, one or two loved it. I heard mostly hated comments about it and a lot of “I want my old BBM back.”
Today, August 6, 2009 was the day that Tweeples/Twitterers stood still… For those of you Twitaddicts, that felt the pain, aggravation, and devastation of not being able to Tweet for almost a FULL day from your phone or half a day from your computers, I also felt that pain!Wow! If that’s just a day without […]
