    TheFind Says: I Love My iHome!

    I consider myself pretty technologically advanced. I have a cute little MacBook Pro sitting on my desk at home, and our flat screen Sony Bravia is linked to my boyfriend's computer so that we can watch movies on the TV through his laptop. I have an iTouch and a Blitz (maybe that last one doesn't technically make me savvy, but cuteness must be factored in somewhere to this equation). And yet, with all my bells and whistles, I still felt something was missing. Then, I found her. The iHome LED color-changing speaker system was just the friend I was looking for. I can rotate through multiple colors if I'm feeling psychedelic, or settle her on white and listen to Death Cab for Cutie if I'm feeling mellow. Another awesome feature? The iHome charges your iPod while you listen, so instead of getting dead batteries when you're reading to transfer from home to travel, you're all souped up and ready to go.

    Chucks Never Go Out Of Style!

    It's really strange to go out now and see that Converse Chuck Taylor high-tops are still being worn by school kids. I think of Chucks as the shoe that sort of defined Generation X, and to see that they're still so popular is kind of nice. Chucks are great because not only do they look cool, they can be adapted to go with just about any casual outfit, and to say that they're comfortable is the understatement of the century. You even see some people pushing the look to the limit, wearing their Chucks with formal wear. There's really no end to what you can do with these shoes. The good thing is that these days, you can get Converse Chucks in all the standard colors, but also in some interesting new styles. So whether you're into classic looks, or rule breaking, there will always be a pair of Chucks out there for you. Click over to our friends at TheFind for more on these cool kicks!

    Rich with antioxidants and full of feel-good serotonin boosters, chocolate has long been a revered delight. The Aztecs used it in their powerful rituals and today it is a sinfully delicious treat (and a sometimes guilty pleasure). World-famous chocolatier Hershey has introduced its own Signature Spa product line to round out its Chocolate Spa experience. The six products in its complete Cocoa Facial Line include a creamy cocoa cleanser, a mint lip shot, cooling eye cream, cocoa facial moisturizer, chocolate almond facial scrub and a delicious cocoa mint clay masque. Each is chock-full of the soothing yet revitalizing chocolate scent. If that's not enough for the chocoholic in your life (or yourself), then the Cocoa Bean body scrub along with Cocoa lotion, massage oil, body wash and bath bars will surely give them their fix! When you're done browsing through chocolate spa bliss, head over to The Find for more must-have new beauty products!

    Make The Most Of Your Closet Space!

    Luckily my apartment came with two closets, because I'll tell you one thing about living with a guy-- they're messy. And the closet is the worst. What I've discovered after having my own closet at my disposal over the past two months was something that surprised me: I, in fact, am a bit messy as well. My well-organized shoes rack turned out to be too much of a hassle, and I've started just dumping my shoes into any old spot in the closet as soon as I get home. My special skirt hangers have become more decoration than anything else, because they are over-crowded and shoved somewhere in the back half of the closet where it's tough to reach. Something had to change. So I did a little research. I chose an over-the-door shoe rack which saves floor space and discourages me from throwing my stuff on the floor. I got a great revolving belt hanger that doubles as a tie rack, and some hanging shelf organizers took care of the stray winter clothes and I don't wear during the summer, but don't have room to store. Now maybe I can get around to doing the same thing for the hall closet€¦
