iphone umbilical cord 300x215 This exists. And its disgusting: The iPhone umbilical cord charger
Japanese artist Mio I-zawa created this not-so-cool (in my eyes) iPhone charger.  I first read about it on Zagg’s blog and had to research it for myself – I just couldn’t believe my eyes!  This charger pulsates and moves as well as partially swallowing up the phone into what is suppose to be ‘the womb’ while it charges the phone.Yep – I think I am real good on not having one of these.  I’m sure there are people out there that would think this is really cool – I am just not one of those people.  Thoughts anyone?

This same artist seems to like to create oddities like mechanical tumors, throbbing hearts for computers, skin cells, and other things of that nature.

Gift Cards are one of the most fabulous creations retailers came up with.  Don’t but them full-price though.  Plan ahead and get them at discounted prices.  You can even buy them for yourself to use – saving you money.
For instance, Applebee’s gift cards will be discounted 10% Feb. 28th and 29th.  If you were to buy a $30 gift card, you’d get it for $27 – a $3 savings to put into your pocket!  If you were to buy 10 – $30 gift cards over a year at a 10% savings, you’d be putting $30 in YOUR pocket and for 10 – $50 gift cards at a 10% savings – you’d be putting $50 back in your pocket.

I have never been one to ask another person – family member or otherwise, to borrow money from them with the exception if I am away from my hometown and I can’t get into my bank accounts from where I am. That being said – if I do borrow money, I make darn sure I have the money to repay the person straight away.I also will not spend beyond my means. If I don’t have the money – then I don’t have it. Sure – I could always charge what I want on one of my charge cards – but I stop myself dead in my tracks with this line of thinking because the charge card purchase has to be paid – it’s a given.

Another good example of not spending beyond my means – my daughter’s father passed out at the wheel totaling our vehicle years ago. I needed a vehicle – but was unsure of where our finances were headed. I really wanted this $13,000 Hyundai Tucson, but ended up with a $9,000 Buick Century where I weaseled the dealership down to $7000.  Why didn’t I go for the car I really wanted? Simply because I had no idea where our finances were headed. It ended up being a good thing I went with the car I did as it ended up being that my daughter’s father was no longer able to work after the accident. At the age of 41, he ended up having a triple by-pass and cervical neck surgery all within 4 months. The hospital immediately applied to Social Security Disability on his behalf the day he was admitted, and yes he was found eligible – but not until 2 1/2 years had passed. All those months – I had to scrimp and save where I could to come up with the monthly payment. If I had gone for the higher priced car…I would have had even a harder time trying to make ends meet.

The point here – you really need to take the future into consideration where your finances are concerned. One never knows what the next day will bring. It’s not worth you getting your head in over your shoulders – that just creates undue stress.

Review by Mom Does Reviews:

I was very excited when I received the Scalloped Lace Underwire Bra in Black (shown on the model above). (Style 5044) Comfortable, quality Bras can be so hard to find!

  • Unique, cut-away, lightly padded, molded cups
  • Beautiful lace overlay
  • Modern scalloped lace neckline
  • Comfortable, no-bounce, lightly padded straps

Not only is this bra pretty, it’s comfortable! Nothing is more important than wearing a bra that is comfortable. Don’t you hate it when your can tell you’re wearing a bra because you have to adjust it all day? I know when my bra fits me perfectly because I forget I’m wearing it. My new Leading Lady bra was so comfortble, I felt like I wasn’t even wearing it. I love the lacy black overlay with the slightly padded cups. The lining is very soft and comfy. The straps were lightly padded also and stayed put. I was very pleased with the quality of the bra. I would definitely recommend Leading Lady for future bra purchases. They have a wide selection of nursing bras as well. I wish I had all these choices when I was breastfeeding 8 years ago! In fact, if you become a Leading Lady Facebook Fan in the month of February, you will receive a 10% introductory discount. Don’t wait, February is almost over.
