Cell phones – they’re everywhere. It seems that now every man, woman and child has one. Cell phones are marketed to everyone from young kids to the elderly. New “simple” phones are being created for these two age groups.

But just because something is common doesn’t mean it’s harmless.

Shelly Kalnitsky of The Cell Phone Radiation News Bureau collects data from available research showing that radiation from cellular and cordless phones is especially harmful for kids, and will indeed be responsible for more cases of cancer than cigarettes for our future generations.

Cell phone radiation and kids -learn what you can do to minimize your child’s exposure to cell phone radiation.

My kids have been enjoying this wooden balance bike by Skuut. Unlike most bicycles made for small children, it has no pedals. It also has no training wheels.

The Skuut is a Scandinavian design. The purpose of it is to teach a young child how to balance so they can learn how to ride a bike well without the adjustment from training wheels to a “big kid bike”.

You can hear their testimonials and learn more about the bike here: Skuut bike review

I wish I knew why gladiator sandals are still popping up in magazines.  They are still being worn by celebrities and soon-to-be spring breakers galore.

I don’t know why they put them on in the first place (I blame movies in general) but I wish they would take them off and leave them off.  The gladiator sandal always reminds me of a fancy bear trap.  It might be shiny, but it’s still a bear trap, why would you want your foot caught in it?

To add to the garishness of the sandal, the designers have also embellished them with jewels, buttons, and other oddities.  The only good use I can think of for these sandals would be for perhaps halloween.

Since that is many months from now, we should pack those away for now.  At the very least, one should take pity on their own pedicure.  How can cute toes painted an adorable shiny hue possibly compete with the bling bling shine of these atrocious sandals?

My guess is that these sandals will be captured in time, much like “shiny shoes” (those black patent leather things) were in the 90s.

Just like a man with their plethora of tools in the garage, it is important for ladies to have their own set of tools. Must haves in my kit are several different kinds of tweezers. I never know when I’ll have disobedient eyebrows and depending on the angle, length, location of the hair, that is what dictates which of my three tweezers I will use.

Tweezers number one are metal with smooth straight tips. I have found these to work best for the inner corner of my eyebrow closest to the bridge of the nose. Tweezers number two are metal with smooth slanted tips and work best for above the eyebrows and below. Tweezers number three are metal with rubber-coated slant tips. These are great for above the eyebrow line where longer more stubborn hair grows in.

My other “can’t live without” device are my small round edged scissors. These are great for trimming hair, nails, just about anything. I’ve even used them to help shape sticks of cosmetic color like wooden eye liner pencils etc.

And if your spouse gives you grief about how many tools it takes to help keep you looking good – or maybe just less scary…just remind him that he doesn’t even know how to operate that saw sitting out in the garage, at least you know how to use your tools!
