Wouldn’t it be nice if you could take a seat and be instantly wound up with more energy? If only that’s what this cheeky Wind Up Chair could do!

Although this modern chair can’t wind you up with this energy, it can provide energy for your mobile phone. Designed by PEGA, the wind-up button on the back of the chair has a hidden plug in for your charger. All you have to do is give the winder a few spins and your phone charges as it unwinds.

Wouldn’t the Wind Up Chair be great in cafes for patrons to charge their phones while they work, eat, socialize?

I keep seeing this quote from Mister Rogers. Maybe you saw it during the Sandy Hook tragedy, but I didn’t. It’s gives you a different perspective when watching the horrifying news on TV. And it helps us to not lose faith in humanity, even though we all really want to.

Praying for Boston….

The other day on the radio, they were talking about creating a lady cave. I’ve heard of man caves, but somehow I’ve never heard the term lady cave until last week! Have you heard of it before?

It only makes sense, because if the man gets one, the lady should too. The real question is, what would you have in your dream lady cave? For me, I’d have a big vanity with tons of fabulous makeup and hair products and accessories with a fancy mirror and fabulous chair for getting ready. Then I would probably have a hot pink tufted sofa with some fur and lucite accessories scattered around and a beautiful flat screen hanging on a patterned wallpaper wall.

That’s my dream lady cave. Now I just have to find a room for it all. What would be in yours?

5 – I want to be cuddled under this knit comforter right now. Where is Spring?

6 – Great tips for keeping a clean computer.

See you back here on Monday!

This past weekend was my bridal shower, where I was fortunate enough to receive a Vitamix Blender. Now, I can’t stop scouring the Internet for soups, smoothies, juices – you name it. Did you know the Vitamix heats up the soups? I had no idea and I can’t believe it. Can’t wait to try it out!

Before I venture into soups, I think I’ll start with some smoothies. I’m thinking maybe a smoothie and soup only diet is in my near future, along with some juices…

The first smoothie that’s on my radar is this Avocado Banana Smoothie. I love avocados and this smoothie looks like a great way to include them. The website that the smoothie is from, SmoothieWeb, has a ton of other great smoothie recipes if you don’t like avocados, or are interested in more.

Do you make smoothies often? What are your favorite recipes?

Even though this week’s product pick is a modern rocker, the style of it is so unique I would display it as a sculpture and never even use it as a rocker! Although it would take any nursery to the level of modern decor superstar…

The MT Rocker is designed by Ron Arad and is a limited edition of 6. It is made of sleek stainless steel.

The chic design makes this a fabulous piece, and is definitely not your typical rocker. What do you think of the MT Rocker?
