Been looking for the perfect pocket camcorder to capture those memorable family moments? Look no further than the Kodak PlaySport, which is everything the discontinued Flip was and more (for one thing, it’s waterproof). Right now Amazon has a special offer going: Snag the Kodak PlaySport Zx5 for just $119—already a great deal—and you’ll also get a $25 Amazon gift card for free with your purchase. That’s like getting the camera for $95!

Just scroll down on the product page, and look for the “Add Both To Cart” button in the Special Offers Section.

That’s not only a great deal, it’s a guarantee that without spending too much money, you’ll be ready to capture all the family fun this summer.

Mom’s must have’s: Wallet/iPhone case

I don’t know about you, but I happen to carry a pretty substantial purse that holds everything from my wallet to my camera (and a second lens and some memory cards) to a small notebook for, well, notes. Then there’s also the barrettes my daughter decides she doesn’t want to wear anymore and the feminine hygiene products I needed last week and, well. My purse is pretty heavy. When I run into the store I will often just grab my wallet and my phone but holding them both in one hand can be awkward.  After dropping my phone once before and having the screen shatter, I am a little wary. These adorable wallet sleeves are exactly what I need.

If you are a fellow iPhone owner, you likely use Instagram, or have at least heard of it. There are more and more apps and programs being created to enhance your Instagram experience and I’ve become quite fond of a few of them. One I haven’t tried yet is Arflakes - you can turn your photos into stickers. Fun!

Technology: e-Reader cover with light

I went into our office lunch room last week and saw that a coworker was reading from her Sony Reader that we all got as work Christmas presents. It was held in a red cover, in a pretty burgundy shade. I’d never even thought about getting a cover for mine. I went looking for covers and saw that there were options that have a built-in light. Practicality won over pretty. A cover with a light will come in so handy and let me read in many more locations.

When we think of “luxury” items we may think of clothing or jewelry or high-end kitchen appliances. Computer backups do not seem to fit into the realm of “luxury.” That is, until you find yourself staring into the blue screen of death. Backups are important, is what I’m saying. The bigger the external drive, the better. File sizes just keep getting bigger.

I don’t travel a lot (relatively). I travel via airplane approximately four times per year (WHAT?) and if there’s one thing that’s more important than snacks on a plane (not to be confused with snakes on a plane), it’s having a good set of earbuds to listen to music/watch in-flight TV/avoid conversing with the person next to you. This last trip saw me with yet another set of apple ear buds that had fallen apart. Time to get a pair that will travel well.

Work happy: Fun laptop case

I finally came to the white side (Macbook) two years ago and will never go back. When I got my shiny new laptop I opted for the bigger screen and extra memory and a good external hard drive and after all of that cash outflow I hesitated to buy a new laptop bag. While tossing it into my backpack is all fine and good, sometimes I only need the laptop and not my entire backpack full of stuff. Plus, what’s the harm in packing something pretty in something equally as pretty? I perused Etsy for laptop cases and I found the case of my dreams! Well, I like almost every case in the janinekingdesigns store, but this one is in my top three.

Fashion & Tech: The f-stop watch

I love wearing watches (and bracelets and necklaces - I feel like my look is incomplete without them) and I also love photography. I always have my camera on me and spend my free days taking photos (and my nights editing them). When I saw this F-Stop watch at Photojojo my inner photography geek squealed with joy.

If you’re an old school Internet person like me, you probably have (or had) a Flickr account. I still do, as I use Flickr for photo developing, among other things. The sense of community is not what it used to be and we could all weep about it but INSTAGRAM stepped in. Photos, filters, and that community feeling. Added bonus: It’s FREE.
