Light Sabar Umbrella – May the force be with you!

When the weather’s been corrupted by the dark side of the force (as it often is on this sunny isle of ours) what better way to keep yourself dry than with the Lightsabre Umbrella? At first glance it looks just like any other ordinary umbrella, but one click of the button on the handle will illuminate the shaft in a bright flash of Jedi white that’s sure to scare off those evil Sith Lords waiting to pounce in the rain. Or it might just make you look super cool on your commute to work. Stand out and be noticed the next time it rains and make your way to the office Jedi style..

Possibly as cool as the Darth Vadar alarm clock, if not cooler!

PUMA L.I.F.T. racers make you feel like you’re walking on air!

PUMA sent me a pair of L.I.F.T racers the other day and all I can say is that they’re possibly the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn.

L.I.F.T stands for Light Injected Foam Technology and the shoe wighs in at only 173 grams.

Check these babies out..

Naked Yoga to raise money for a good cause

Two hobbies which are getting extremely popular these days are Yoga and Salsa. Now I’m not just saying this because I’m into salsa and a good friend is into yoga, it’s the honest truth.

By definition, Yoga is a system of exercises practiced as part of the Hindu discipline to promote control of the body and mind. I’ve never attended a Yoga class, but I’ve always heard positive reviews from friends and am, at present, having my arm twisted to attend a class.

Naked Yoga is an initiative raising money for existing organisations that
are doing work in South Africa to fight the cruelty in animal farming
methods worldwide. It features a yogi friend of mine from Living
Yogastudio. I sometimes go there to do Nia classes with Carmen.

Ultra trendy Wind Chime alarm clock

After finding the Darth Vader alarm clock, I felt I would keep up the trend with this wind chime alarm clock..

windchime-alarm-clock

The Wind Chime Alarm clock combines punctuality with the sound of metal pipes clinking against each other. Hmm, that description doesn’t quite do the product justice.

The Wind Chime Alarm Clock features 12-hour and 24-hour clocks, the date, a stopwatch function, and two different alarm modes. You can wake up to the sound of electronic beeping or to the gentle sounds of wind chimes. We choose the latter. You can also set the wind chimes to chime continuously, although this will drain the batteries fairly quickly. Chime, on, party people. Chime on.

It’s $19.95 here.

Darth Vader alarm clock

We all know Star Wars and have probably all watched the movies a thousand times. Now, much like Space Invaders, Star Wars is also a classic and today I came across the Darth Vader alarm clock..
