I’ve been stalking this computer ever since I read about it six months ago. And two days ago, I got it. Why? Because I’m sic of lugging a mac laptop around the world – it weighs too much and I don’t need every single bit of personal information with me when I travel. All I really need is email and word processing. And now I’ve got it in a teensy package that weighs almost nothing.
It’s everything the reviews say – wifi works perfectly. Keyboard, at 7″ is a bit small but I’ll get used to it. Several USB ports, can upload photos, the works. It’s love.

….when you have this glass? I mean, does it really matter if it’s even a martini? Wouldn’t, say, a POM spritzer look fabulous in it? Yes, it would. This is the latest in the Inside Out series by AlissiaMT, whose champagne glass (from the same series) I wrote about for Best Bets online (see nymag.com). As with the bubbly glass, this one is double-walled meaning your beautifully chilled drink stays that way (no hand warming). And, since it is stemless, it’s perfect for those of us with teensy shelves that cannot hold tall, lean glasses. A win-win all around, for just $55/glass at charlesandmarie.com

I was recently sent this “Cannabis” candle by Malin & Goetz. What a way to get a person’s attention? Would I reap the benefits of said scent now legally? I lit it up and waited. And waited. And what i smelled was … definitely not any cannabis I was familiar with. This one smelled like Halston Z-14. I’m not kidding. So I emailed the company to get the scoop, and here is the answer:
“The smell is actually based on a special blend that I was partial to when I lived in Amsterdam – “Morocco 007″. It has a peppery spicy aroma. While it may not be your garden variety skunk from Avenue B, did you notice cravings for something sweet and savory as it burned? Try that with an ordinary candle.”
Can’t really argue with that.
