| LA DIETA DE LOS PALILLOS BARBER, KIMIKO Para perder peso con facilidad, basta con utilizar los palillos y disfrutar de unos platos tan sanos como equilibrados. En este libro no se cuentan calorías, no se excluyen alimentos ni se impone una selección restringida de alimentos permitidos. Con recetas saludables y repletas todas ellas de ingredientes nutritivos y pobres en grasa, ésta es, sin duda la mejor manera de disfrutar la comida mientras se pierde peso. Todos sabemos que la única forma de perder peso es comer menos, pero no siempre resulta fácil, sobre todo cuando hay que lidiar con toda una serie interminable de reglas y alimentos prohibidos. En este libro tan sólo se incide en una regla básica: coma con palillos platos saludables y equilibrados. De esta forma ingerirá raciones más pequeñas, con lo que reducirá enseguida la cantidad de alimentos consumidos y favorecerá el flujo de los jugos digestivos, al mismo tiempo que se sentirá más satisfecho y rebosante de energía. La autora combina ingredientes japoneses (arroz, pescado, judías de soja, hortalizas y frutas) de una forma fresca y moderna para crear unos platos perfectamente equilibrados, desde el desayuno hasta la cena. En este sentido, logra sacar todo el partido a ingredientes muy nutritivos y bajos en grasas, como el tofu y las algas, pero también incluye, entre otros, el konyaku, que no tiene grasa, pero que es muy rico en fibra. |
Clean and hygienic bottled water may be good for your health, but the huge piles of empty water bottles threatening the environment have become a matter of worry for the nations across the world. Addressing the issue, Move Collective LLC has come up with an innovative water bottle called the “Water Bobble” that provides an eco-friendly alternative to regular water bottles, as it comes integrated with a replaceable carbon filter to sterilize water direct from the tap. Designed by Karim Rashid, the Water Bobble not only looks trendy but also helps in sustaining the ecology together with the health of the users. Moreover, priced at $10 the Water Bobble doesn’t tax too much on your pocket. It will be available at stores from next month onward.

The key to their success is that they are moulded to your own mouth shape, and that you can deploy or retract the teeth using the tongue bar at the very back. All you have to do is soak them in hot water for a few minutes to soften the dental putty, bite down on them as if they were the neck of an unsuspecting victim, let them set and you're ready to start terrorizing the neighbourhood kids. With the ingenious tongue bar feature allowing you to lower your fangs at will, these fake teeth really are the best you can get.

One plug is not enough. In the USA, two is not enough. Everywhere in the world, basically, more power plugs are needed. So what did ArtLeb do? They built it into the plug itself, rather than relying on the ever-present power strip. And it’s got blue on it! And it uses the Art Lebedev logo on it! I’m pretty excited by it. I’m gonna need it in three-prong, please.
Hiding in the wall until the right moment to strike, the Rozetkus sits flat unless more than one plug is needed. And look at the concepting! it goes all over the place! Normally I’m not into building everything all at once into the base product, aka I love extensions. But this is the right stuff.
The right stuff!

Hats off, gentleman — hats off. I can say with certainty that this is the best roller bag ever made. Why this particular bit of genius hasn’t caught on, I can’t imagine. Possibly because, like those who ride the accursed Segway, riders of this contraption would give off a certain “punch me” vibe. And yet, one can’t entirely suppress the feeling of wanting to switch places with them, if only for a moment. Shameful, but understandable.
The Trolley Scooter from Samsonite und Micro Mobility is the perfect tool for bloggers like myself who, at trade shows like CES, must walk miles (miles!) with packs full of gear just to bring you guys the freshest news. I’d rather scoot. I’d rather scoot than do most things, to be perfectly honest.
No price is given and I can’t find it on Micro Mobility’s site, but I would ballpark its cost at around 100€ — $120 or thereabouts.
Rambler Socket maybe the solution most of us are looking for as far as extension cords are concerned. I mean if you hit “Extension Cord” on YD, for most of the posts you will see readers nitpicking and finding fault with the design. Here’s why Rambler Socket will knock your socks off. It’s this 1.5 meters cord that unfurls from a cavity behind its socket. When you don’t need extensions, it’s neatly tucked away. When you need it, simply pinch the sides and wind it out.
After the deed is done, you simply give the wire a gentle tug (activates a spring mechanism), and it recoils back into place. Ideal for using with electronics like vacuum cleaners, hair driers etc where you don’t need extension cords on a full-time basis.
