Thursday, October 19th, 2006

USB MassagerIf you’re like me and spend a huge percentage of your life sitting in front of a computer screen then this little gadget should bring a smile to your face. Simply plug this massager into your PC’s USB port, switch it on and ease those aches and pains.

Keep it in your drawer for a particularly stressful day and you’ll be glad of it - for only £8.99 this is a must have. It also comes with a lengthy 6ft of cable so if you’re feeling generous you could even try out it out on a colleague …

Sony Ericsson W850i

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

Sony Ericsson W850iThis little mobile is pretty cute and ticks all the right boxes. The new W850i is a sliding design music phone that stores up to a thousand songs at a time, great if you’re on the move a lot and if you don’t have time to keep switching albums!

The phone comes in two colours, Precious Black and Golden White and is designed to look unique and stylish. It has a 2-megapixel camera with digital zoom and flash and offers video calling and high quality image sharing. High speed internet allows you to enjoy mobile video and messaging. The phone is not yet available in the UK, check out Sony’s Website for more information.

The Fluidity Bar

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

Fluidity BarI came across this product on TVTopTen.com and thought it was quite a cool fitness idea. The Fluidity Bar is designed to work to whole body and give you the perfect shape you’ve always dreamed of. The bar has been a popular item in premier health clubs in New York for some time and now they are making them available to the public for $199.75.

The price a little dear but a good machine to have at home; it folds away easily so you don’t have to worry about storage space. Check out the Fluidity Bar video to see it in action.

Have I got a deal for you?

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

Health ClubsIf you fancy a membership at either Holmes Place or Cannons but think their prices are a little too much then I have a solution. While searching for a cheap local gym at the weekend I came across an article on Money Saving Expert that made my smile from ear to ear. Basically, if you sign up to Pru Health and take out some health insurance for a year they will pay for your membership at Holmes Place or Cannons for six months. After this period you have to pay the gym £25 a month on top of your health insurance however if you don’t wish to do this then you can simply cancel the gym membership after the six months.

The cost of health insurance with Pru Health cost me £18.32 a month, the cost of a membership with Holmes Place is £64 a month. I am therefore saving myself about £280 based on the fact I will only stay for the free six months. You have to sign up before 31st October to be eligable - visit the Pru Health Website for full information about the deal.

Press Play

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

Diddy Press PlayAs you probably already know Sean Comes, also known as Puff Daddy, P Diddy or Diddy released his new album ‘Press Play’ in the UK this week. This is his 5th album to date and comes after quite a gap since his last album ‘We Invented The Remix Vol. 1’ in 2002.

The collection features a number of top singles and includes latest hits ‘Come To Me’ with Nicole Scherzinger (from The Pussycat Dolls) and ‘Tell Me’ starring Christina Aguilera. The album will also feature guest appearances from Fergie (Black Eyed Peas), Mary J. Blige, Brandy, Nas, Keyshia Cole, Cee-Lo and Kanye West. Not a bad line up really. Read more reviews at Amazon or buy the album for only £8.99.

Find your perfect activity partner

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

I’m the kind of person who thinks about exercising and how I’d love to do it but never actually gets around to it - I clearly lack motivation. If I had someone who enjoyed the same activities as me perhaps I’d find it easier to get motivated and get fit?

I’ve just come across lifeknot – a new website that allows you to find other people who share your interests and passions in any activity imaginable.

Lifeknot will compare your activity profile against other members and show you who you share the most in common with. There are over 1,100 member-suggested activities across 45 categories – surely I can find someone to motivate me!

Crazy Nails!

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

Crazy NailsThis hi-tech nail printer from Crazy Nail is fab – a little on the expensive side perhaps, with the top of the range model selling at £1849, but totally worth it if you have that kind of money!

The printer is fitted with a built-in computer and can apply virtually any digital image to your nails. Simply connect your screen, choose your nail art and pop your nails in.

Crazy NailsYou can even transfer your own photos onto your digits – a little odd you might think, but you’ll be totally unique!

Hot pink GHD’s

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Hot Pink GHD'sToday I’m loving pink so I had to write a post on these new limited edition GHD’s that have just arrived for Breast Cancer awareness. They come with a funky heat mat and a rounded barrel for improved waving and curling. Only recently did I learn that straightners could be twisted to create beautiful curls – seriously what did I ever do before I found straightners?

The best part is that at ASOS.com £10 of sales goes towards Breakthrough Breast Cancer – but at £135 they’re a bit on the pricy side … so pretty though and at least you can tell yourself you’ve done your bit for charity. They are also available at Amazon.com for only $195 (about £98).

Pink car seat covers!

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Pink car seat coversI recently wrote a post on Pink Sat Nav to help brighten up your car and add that girly touch – well if that just wasn’t enough for you then why not add these pink car seat covers too! They stretch to fit nearly all small to medium cars and are available in pink with a cream trim or cream with a pink trim.

They look pretty snug too which is great for the winter – and at £48 from Fabstuff they’re not unreasonably priced. I guess it depends how girly you want your car to be …

Perfect gift for a baby shower

Saturday, October 14th, 2006

I’ve been to a few baby showers recently and found it increasingly hard to know what to get – everyone buys tiny baby grows or nappies etc but I don’t want to be like everyone else so I always try to think of original ideas that everyone will say “oh that’s a good idea, where did you get that?” Then I can smugly reply – “oh I just came across it online.” I came across Nightform today and thought I’d share it with readers of The New Pink. The website provides the perfect original baby gift for under $50.

The Infant Positioning bed prevents skull flattening in infants and allows children to sleep in a safe position. Press the ‘click to watch’ button on the homepage to see how it works. Not only will you have the most original pressie there, but you’ll come across as a caring person who’s given a lot of thought to the unborn baby’s health!

Platinum Zippi Fan

Friday, October 13th, 2006

Zippi FanThis little fan is a great idea if you have children or pets that are inquisitive. The fan is made from soft nylon blades that are safe to touch while moving so you won’t have to worry about anyone hurting themselves on the blades.

There are many things parents worry about when children are around so for $29.99 why not have one less thing to think about next summer. Visit Vornado the manufacturers for more information about features and specifications.

The fan comes in platinum, black, green, yellow and orange so hopefully you’ll find one to match the colour of your front room.

Champagne Parachute

Friday, October 13th, 2006

Champagne ParachuteWhat a fab idea! Apparently you just need to attach the parachute to your bottle of bubbly and instead of ducking from the falling cork, you can calmly watch the cork float down to the ground - what a great little gadget to entertain friends with at a dinner party! Obviously the parachute only works once the cork is falling, so if you aim it at something close by it’s likely to break it, but even so I want to buy this just to watch it float down!

The best thing is the price – it’s a mere £3.99, and you can use it as many time as you like!

Sephora supports Breast Cancer Awareness

Friday, October 13th, 2006

Stilla Lip GlossesSephora is offering a whole collection of items to help support Breast Cancer awareness month. Each product comes in pink packaging and has the pink signature ribbon that everybody associates with the cause. Each brand taking part will donate some of the proceeds to organisations helping to find a cure for Breast Cancer. I have picked a few items from Sephora to show you but see their website for the full range.

Go Smile ToothpasteThis first set is a collection of three full-sized lip glosses in soft pink, gold pink and fuchsia pink shades. The product is from Stilla who campaigns annually to fight against breast cancer and the product is only available for a limited time. The lip glosses are selling at Sephora for $34.

Bare Escentuals Pink PassionThe product to the right is Morning Rush Toothpaste from Go Smile, the toothpaste is professionally formulated for a great wake-up call and has hints of lemon, lime, orange and mandarin, Only $5.

Lorac Perfectly PinkThe next item will make a great birthday or Christmas gift, it is called Pink Passion and is made by Bare Escentuals. The set includes Rose Radiance All-Over Face Colour, Rose Radiance Lip Gloss and a Face Brush. Currently selling for $40.

Last but not least we have Perfectly Pink from Lorac. It is a large everyday make-up brush that comes in a pretty pink case. Again this would make a nice present - $25.
