This Month's Top Ten Tips From My Favorite Magazines

From boho magazine. I love it when I find a great new magazine. Boho is all about eco-friendly fashion and lifestyle.

1. I thought this mosaic bust from mosaicwares.com was beautiful.


2. A guide to a green get away in Paris.



3. Another reason to eat chocolate. A new study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology reports that eating antioxidant-rich dark chocolate can increase your skin's natural UV protection.


5. Charla Krupp, author of How Not To Look Old is back with a new book - How To Never Look Fat Again. I've ordered both from Amazon.


6. web2pdfconvert.com Enter any URL into this free website and you can convert the web page into a PDF.

7. Help hollow-stemmed blooms, like daffodils, delphiniums, and amaryllis, soak up water and stay hydrated longer with this fresh idea: Cut the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle, turn the stem upside down, fill it with water, and stuff it with a piece of cotton.


8. You can customize "skins" for your iPhone (and other gadgets) with your own photography and art at Skinit.

9. Dragon Dictation from Nuance is now available in an iPhone app. It records your words and converts them into text for emailing, texting or copying to the clipboard to paste in another app. I'm a speedy typer on a keyboard, but on the iPhone I am a super slow poke. For me this is much faster than typing. Helpful hints for Dragon Dictation can be found at justanotheriPhoneblog.com

10. You-Vision Video Glasses. Ever wish your eyes were cameras? These sunglasses look super fun. They are from the store at photojojo.com.
4. While cruising around photojojo I found this Bottle Cap Tripod. Don't think it will work with my SLR. But for the point and shoot I carry around in my purse it is perfect (and only $10)

Thanks to all of you for the feedback. I have ordered those two books about never looking old or fat and will report on them after I have read them.
