California bans texting while driving
We know that talking on your mobile phone while driving is dangerous business, but everyone seems to have overlooked that texting can be just as hazardous. Everyone except California and Arnold Schwarzenegger that is. On Wednesday, he signed a bill and made it into a law that bans texting while driving. Arnie has always lived on the edge in reel life, but it seems he pays a lot of attention to safety in real life. According to SFGate, the bill SB28 will ban texting while driving and forces drivers to keep their "hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road," said Schwarzenegger in a written statement. Other states that are also following this law are Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, Connecticut and Washington. I'm sure the cell phone service providers are not very happy, this will lead to a slight cut in their profit!

Hello Kitty MP3 Player with changing face plates
It's Hello Kitty time again. A Hello Kitty Digital MP3 Player with three changing face plates sounds good to you? It does to me. It might be for ages 7 to 14 and I might be just a little over that age group, but this product by Sakar still poses infinite appeal to me. As far as the weight goes, its extremely light at less than an ounce. It is made out of light weight durable and sturdy plastic. It can hold only 1GB worth of music, but I'm not complaining. The looks make up for it. The headphones included are pink and super girly as expected. But they don't provide the best sound, so you might be better off by adding your own. Since it is targeted towards kids, it is extremely simple to use. Very straightforward functions, no complications. The main glitch is that changing the face plates is quite a chore. It involves a lot of tugging. Also, using an AAA battery is a pain, you know how quick they empty. Kids can store files for homework on the player which is a redeeming factor.

Metal Ball Stretch Bracelet Watch…tacky!
I am not too much into the whole antique business for various reasons but I’d like to stop at the actuality that I simply can’t come up with the money for them like half the worlds inhabitants. May be that is a key raison d'être for me not going bonkers at the sight for something antique or antique-like. Metal Ball Stretch Bracelet Watch is not an antique but a stretch watch with an antique look. I don’t like it. I have my reasons but let’s not get there. The watch is finished with Alloy Material and Burnish gold Finish in gold Color.

Besides it doest really look that inexpensive thanks to its appearance.

You have a pretty Hello Kitty collar to put around your cat's neck, followed by a pair of Hello Kitty head gear (this is particularly adorable with the pink bow and kitty ears) and to complete the outfit there is a Hello Kitty bag for your kitty.

Customizing your old storage boxes doesn't get easier than this
We all have ugly storage boxes from centuries gone to store everyday items in lying around our houses. Haven't you more than once looked at this type of a dull box and wished you could trade it for something better? Well, now you don't have to trade it, you can just turn it fabulous and this is how. You'll need a few basic tools of the trade. A tape measure, a pair of sharp scissors, a roll of a wallpaper of your choice and some wood. Adhesive will also do. The first step is to get the tape measure and carefully measure the four sides on the inside of your blanket box, then measure the bottom of the box along with the inside of the lid. After you are done with all this measuring, unroll the wallpaper, mark with a pencil the width and length of the first side you plan to cover, cut it out with the scissors and keep repeating this until you have six pieces or one for every side you want to line.
Gucci's new IT bags are hot or not?
It is being said that the Gucci Fall Winter 2008/2009 handbags are labeled the IT bags of the season. I don't know about you guys, but this convinces me that if the IT bags were ever dead, this is their revival. Rihanna was chosen People's 2008 Best Dressed person, if you remember. In case I need to refresh your memory, she was also said to have gone bankrupt. I'm sure bad news triggers memory better than good news. Anyway, she was seen sporting the Baboushka bag from this Fall's Gucci collection. This proves two things. Since she was titled the Best Dressed, the bag has to be something. Also, if she really did go bankrupt, I doubt she'd be hopping around buying expensive Gucci gear. The Boho Gucci Chic Bag is pretty stylish. The beige and ebony crystal that it comes in has stolen my heart. Maybe the gold studs could be done away with which mar an otherwise fabulous bag.

The Bottega Veneta Maggiore tote is passable!
I love everything that’s subtle and simple but the Bottega Veneta Maggiore tote, though subtle and simple falls short of making that impression. It is a little unsightly to be frank and I wouldn’t really wanna spend my hard-earned moolah on it. But the thought behind this tote is interesting. Bottega Veneta Maggiore tote is named after Lago Maggiore on the Swiss Italian border due to the green hue found in the lake sometimes. The tote features an impressive two tone design mixing Bottega Veneta’s signature Intreciatto woven leather with python skin and the interior is lined with suede. The Bottega Veneta Maggiore Top Handle Tote features two separate compartments and is available in extremely limited numbers in Bottega Veneta stores worldwide. If you have better choices then I am sure you can do without this!
