Make Your iPod Touch Stylish

I love my iPod Touch.  It’s the next best thing to an iPhone.  I have heard rumors that the new 3.0 version of the iPod Touch is supposed to have a camera.  While I was surfing the Internet today looking for gear, I stumbled upon these gorgeous iPod Touch cases.  They are $19.90 and come in a variety of colors.  They also make cases for iPhone.  I sooo want the pink Diamond crystal clear soft case!  Mine is currently in a boring black rubber case - how booooooring.  Ugh, why do I have to be on such a tight budget right now? It’s not fair.

Sterling Silver & Oh So Beautiful…

I’m on a “mom” kick this week, so I wanted to post another mother’s necklace.  This one is called “Circle of Love” and is a beautiful hand stamped sterling silver necklace with heart charm, Swarovski crystal, larger sterling silver circle and smaller inner circle. You get it personalized with the names of your children or the sayings of your choice.  It’s only $42 at SilverLime.  I LOVE IT!!!

Be a Savvy, yet FRUGAL Chick

Everyone wants to spend less and live better. This book, 10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget, covers everything from the basics on spending and saving to making your taxes work for you and how to score free stuff. Written by top writers in the field, such as Tim Ferris and Mary Webber, the catchy pieces include “5 Money-Making Ideas,” “7 Ways to Score Free Drinks,” “2 Most-Overlooked Points of Health Care Insurance,” “20 Signs a Pink Slip is Coming,” and much more.

Hey, with times as tough as they are right now this may be the book we all need to read.  I just added it to my Amazon Wishlist!  Got to wait a week before I can order it though - sigh - yea, I’m on a budget.  See, I told you I needed this book!  Or someone out there can show me some love and buy it for me *smile* Here’s a link to my wishlist at Amazon.

XOXO, Savvy Chick

Why No Pink Nintendo DSi?

Anyone know why Nintendo didn’t make a pink or girlie version of the new DSi?  My daughter got the Matte Blue one but has complained daily about the fact that pink is better.  I have one solution for us “pink lovers” and it would be to simply buy the black DSi and jazz it up with this DSi -18-In-1 starter kit in bubblegum pink. I found this cool set on Amazon, I placed an order for the blue set for my daughter only because she got the blue DSi, but if you want to “girlie” up your black one this is definitely the way to go.  By the way, the USB/SD card connector is my favorite feature!

Need a Pink Water Hose?

Every girl needs a pink garden hose.  Personally, mine is purple! Yep, purple.  It matches my purple flowers, my purple buckets, etc.  But, I wish they had this pink one when I got mine because it’s soooo much better.  My daughter says we should plant some pink roses and water them with a pink water hose—ahhhh what an excuse to buy both!  Enjoy

Customize Your Sidekick 3 with Skins

Did you get a T-Mobile Sidekick 3 for Christmas? I wanted one, but it will have to wait until after the new year. But that hasn’t stopped me from looking at cool accessories and add-ons for the Sidekick3.

The shiny, glittery, Swarovski crystal style gel skins are on my list of must-have items.  I’ve compiled a quickie composite of my favorite skins I’ve found so far.  Out of the six above, I’d say my ultimate favorite is a toss up between the tropical monkeys and the pink Burberry style plaid.

You can find them at lots of places online. I happened to find these at a place called mygelskin.com They also have skins for the RAZR, SLVR, Ipod, PSP and more.

Pink Leather ID Card Holder

It’s mandatory that you wear a badge at some companies and government agencies. Do you have one of those plain old silver chains? I remember those days.

I found this nice leather identification card holder and it’s pink!  Your work ID badge can either hang from the pink nylon lanyard or you can remove it to clip the leather case onto your shirt or jacket.  It has a clear window so that everyone can see your gorgeous mugshot. I hate security ID photos, I used to make my flip over on purpose.

In case you’re interested, this comes in more than just pink. You could get a couple to match your wardrobe or style of the moment. Colors: Pink, Green, Orange, Black and Blue.  So green for Christmas? Orange for Halloween? Black for “suit” days and blue for “casual Friday.” See, a color for any day.
