Parrot MiniKit Slim Bluetooth Visor Speaker Phone

by on May 29th, 2010

I Received the Parrot mini-kit slim bluetooth visor speaker phone a  while ago but  hadn’t been able to test it out since i didn’t have a car, (it was at the mechanics) but   as soon as i got my wheels back the first thing I did was try  it out.

I talk so much while I drive that I was able to test it out with in minutes of having set it up, and can tell you it delivers good quality sound and is very easy to configure.
What I loved for most part is that it syncs with your contacts and  identifies the  person who is calling you at the moment. It is also easy to navigate as it will speak the menu options and with just one touch  left or right gives you the option you desire.

The Elle Portable Light Project

by on May 29th, 2010

I was reading my monthly  fashion magazines and came upon this lovely info on Elle: a messenger bag outfitted with a small, flexible solar panel, a HBLED light, a rechargeable battery pack, and a USB port. Called the Flap Bag, (short for “Flexible Light and Power”) it was the brainchild of the brilliant architect Sheila Kennedy, who directs the Portable Light Project, a non-profit initiative that provides solar textile kits to empower the world’s poorest people who do not have access to electricity.

Kennedy’s team works with nongovernmental organizations, providing training to women so they can integrate the technology into local textile materials using commonly available materials and their sewing and weaving skills. The results are surprising: a culturally diverse range of blankets, bags, and clothing that generate clean, sustainable energy and light, while supporting local economies.”

I think it’s an awesome idea and a great way to be fashionable and at the same time conscious about our planet.

Please visit www.portablelight.org or  http://www.elle.com/Fashion/Fashion-Spotlight/Portable-Light-Project for more information on the bags.

Review : Aerial 7 Chopper 2 Multi Device Stereo Headphones

by on April 6th, 2010

I had the chance to review the  http://www.aerial7.com/product/CHOPPER2/HYPE/my first review and I’m excited to say it was like opening a present on christmas.

1. I have crappy earphones
&
2. Music is a big part of my life

The Chopper 2 are the ultimate experience of commodity, it eliminates the hassle of carrying around a Bluetooth and headphones  at the same time, they have a built in microphone which is just grand. Headphones with a cord that fits either the original iPhone or the iPhone 3G, 3GS, Blackberry as well, also provides you with a hang up bottom for your calls. You also receive in the box: A soft carry case in very cool colors (for fashionistas like me who carry their music around), adjustable ear pieces  and a headband in bright green and grey.

I honestly can say I’ve never seen this and was looking forward to trying them when I found out they were used by famous DJ’s such as Josh Madden Kid Fresh (Aerial 7 Ambassador’s) http://www.aerial7.com/ambassadors/josh/

They are very comfortable to wear due to their padding on the top part and earphones which totally isolate every single sound around you. They have a very sharp sound on Skype, iTunes and while using my cellphone – providing ultimate clearness and audio quality at it’s best on all three.  Overall if your looking for something comfortable and best sound quality you should get these. They retail for $90.00 which I consider a good price for the quality of the product, you can find them online at : http://www.aerial7.com/product/CHOPPER2/HYPE/.

The heart – Our internal hard drive

by on March 27th, 2010

What does your heart and your computer have in common?

A hard drive.

The hard drive because it keeps all your information in one place. My internal hard drive would include ex boyfriends, new crushes, past lovers, horrid affairs and most of all future catches.
