Fashionable Cashmere tissue roll outfits support Breast Cancer Month
I'm quite impressed with the Sixth Annual White Cashmere Collection 2009: Fashion with Compassion Show. I think the idea to have models dress in designer ensembles crafted from Cashmere Bathroom Tissue is so unique that you simply can't ignore it. This event that was held in Toronto signifies the come back of Cashmere’s limited-edition Pink Roll, a fund- and awareness-raiser for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Some of Canada's most well known designers like turned tissue paper into pretty pink and white creations. The designs varied from a romantic, rose-bedecked bustier bubble dress to an architectural spacesuit topped with a gaping “open observatory” collar. If you are interested in the collection, it is on display throughout October in The Bay’s Toronto and Montreal flagship store windows as part of the retailer’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities.
Extendable Shower Rod provides ample elbow room
Shower rods can we really annoying, especially you are low on space and have a big frame. Your arms and elbows and stuff can constantly hit the rod and be really inconvenient. But Extend It is a really cool solution that extra space and comfortable elbow room in your shower. It extends to 7.5" and offers 60% more space than curved extended rods. Since it's leak resistant, there is no danger of drips. You can retract it to save space further when it's not in use. I think it's perfect for small showers and it's available for $40 at Taylor Gifts.
Vespa LX comes in pretty pink for the ladies
If there's one thing that can definitely make me happy, it's a pink scooter. I might hate driving cars, but scooters are good for me. This Pink Vespa LX totally strikes a chord with me. It's no surprise that most people buying this baby are women. The original Vespa was designed to keep women’s skirts from billowing like a sail, so its appearance in such a girly color is no surprise. The special-edition scooters hit the states last month. You can get one with a 50cc engine or a 150cc engine. The pink version isn't as popular as the black, red or silver ones however. I'd still like to let you know that, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so Vespa USA donated 15 pink 50cc Vespa's to 15 nonprofits involved in the fight against the disease. This is quite cool. Does some want to buy me a pink Vespa?

Chocolate is a pain killer
Chocolate is not only an anti-depressant, but it seems that it's also a natural pain killer. How amazing is that. It gives us all the more reason to binge on some cocoa. A team of researchers says the distraction of eating or drinking for pleasure acts as a natural painkiller. So even sipping on a glass of water can act as morphine! The studies conducted to support this have been on animals, but the scientists believe the same effect takes place in people. Dr Peggy Mason, of Chicago University, found that rats were less bothered by pain if they were eating a chocolate chip or drinking water. ‘It’s a strong, strong effect, but it’s not about hunger or appetite,’ she said. ‘If you have all this food in front of you that’s easily available to reach out and get, you’re not going to stop eating, for basically almost any reason.’ I guess that's why people over eat so much. I'm simply happy that science is showing how awesome chocolate is too, so it's not just my taste buds that love it!
