Suede vs. Nintendo DS

Now that I have reached 75,000 points required to get up to $150 off at Shoppers Drug Mart I cannot decide whether I want to get the Suede bag or a Nintendo DS. I have not touched the Suede bag yet. It is behind a glass case and did not want to be tempted. Lately, I have been playing a lot of games on my iPod Touch. The Nintendo DS would be great for travelling long distances.

I think the only reason I want to get the Suede bag is that I still have not purchased a new bag yet and it is almost the end of April. I will make my decision by the end of the month. I will either have a new bag or the Nintendo DS. Either way I will be happy to say to the cashier, “I will be redeeming my Shoppers Optimum Points for this purchase.”

Stylish Tech Apps

Your stylish lifestyle does not only exist in the fabulous clothes you wear or the newest “it” bag. You can carry your stylish lifestyle in the palm of your hands. I used to carry a palm pilot for many years. Now y iPod Touch has taken over the role of my pda. I keep my agenda, todo lists, grocery lists, games,  etc… on my iPod Touch. 

There are so many applications on the iTunes App Store from travel, lifestyle, productivity, and entertainment.  You can also find applications for the stylish girl in you.

These are a few of my suggestions:

From Lucky magazine you can browse the latest shoe fashions from the spring shoe guide. You have the ability to check the price, store and location near you. I am not a shoe person so this application does not interest me, but I know there are many people who would love the application.

At Style.com you can have the latest runway shows in the palm of your hand. The application also has information on parties, style videos and a style blog.

Stylish Girl is a style planner. You can take pictures of the items that you own and organize them to create outfits, plan for a vacation, and create a wish list.

Last but not least is SplashShopper. I have used this application for many years. I used it on every palm pilot that I owned, and was very happy when it was made available for the iPod Touch/iPhone. The desktop for SplashShopper also allows you to update the lists in the application and sync with the the iPod Touch/iPhone. The application allows you to manage your grocery list, books, movies, music, and more.

One Week

It has been a long week. I am finally able to get out of my bed. At least I was able to access my email on my iPod Touch. The boredom drove me crazy. When not sleeping I would be on my MacBook.

The first thing that I want to do before I go back to the office is go to Starbucks. For some strange reason, I was craving Starbucks and Kettle Chips. Thankfully, my sister was kind enough to buy me some Kettle Chips on Friday. The bag is done. Now all I need is a grande latte from Starbukcks with whip cream.

I ventured out of the house today to gets some fresh air. I did not want the blast of Arctic Canadian air to hit me first thing Monday morning. It would be a shock to the system. I went to the local mall which does not have much, but it was better than nothing. It was odd not spending any money for one week. My bank must have thought that something was wrong. I just bought two pillows and I got a great deal for a duvet cover at the Bay which was originally priced at $99.99. It was marked down to $49.99. When the salesperson rang up my order it was $29.99. That was all I could handle for the day. I hope I don’t go crazy spending next week.

AppShopper

I am a shopaholic who not only loves shopping for handbags and beauty products, but I am also a tech geek. I found this amazing website that tracks the newest iPhone and iPod touch application updates and price changes in iTunes. I have added the RSS feed to my email application which I check constantly.
