Helping the environment is finally in-fashion. But until now, we thought we were the only ones who noticed that the eco-chic pieces everybody’s been churning out aren’t always entirely chic.

Barney’s has an awesome, chic tote by Kooba, we would actually be happy wearing. This natural (or olive) colored bag is lined in cork and holds a nice shape. A little bird also told us Serena Van Der Woodsen would be wearing it in an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl, to those of you who care.

Snag it quick before the tweens snatch them all up!

Ever since you starred in your high school production of Cats, you knew you belonged in the spotlight. It’s just too bad that since your drama department’s “Class of ‘92 Senior Awards Gala”, nobody’s taken notice.

There are hundreds of people like you congregating in NYC to demand the attention they deserve. Improv Everywhere, an organization of talented “special agents”, stages incredible scenes across the city, to the surprise of unassuming strangers.

Missions include:

“Food Court Musical”, where 16 agents staged an all-out musical at a shopping mall’s “Hot Dog on a Stick” 

“Frozen Grand Central”, where more than 200 agents walked through Grand Central Station and froze at exactly the same time for two straight minutes, overwhelming and scaring travelers

“Best Buy”, where 80 agents wore the classic uniform of blue polos and khakis, and saturated the sales floor of a NYC Best Buy

“Haunted House”, where agents decorated and haunted a subway car

“No Shirts” where 111 agents shopped, posed and hung out shirtless in an Abercrombie & Fitch

Videos, ideas and an informative blog are are available on the Improv Everywhere web site. Don’t worry if you aren’t in the area, as there are Improv Everywhere Global Groups forming. So you can finally enjoy the limelight again. Without whiskers on.

The place where your angry boyfriend punched a hole in the drywall. Your water-stained dorm room. The crayon marks your two year-old plastered your white paint with. 

Sometimes you just need to cover up a wall.

Now, with the help of Block Posters, you can choose any image, upload it, and print out an amazing, award-winning mural from your unassuming home printer.  You simply choose and upload an image, choose how many pages wide and long you want it to be, and hit print.  You then simply tape the pages together and post your mural over your stains.

Another fun option is slapping an incriminating poster of your boss at your holiday party on his office wall while he’s in Cabo for the fourth time this year.

Remember the flea circus you saw when you were little? Little self-propelled merry-go-rounds, see-saws and ferris wheels in a glass dome made you believe you could really see tiny fleas inside.  Since then, you’ve had a fascination with little worlds. You enjoyed dollhouses of little figurines, your little castle of Sea Monkies, and more recently, playing SimCity.

You still like the idea of playing god, but now that you’re older it’s probably a good idea to do so in a more discreet way. Zlda Shop has created the coolest little rings that can turn your hand into rolling hills, downtown cityscapes or forests of wildlife.

If you’re like us, you’ll purchase skyscraper rings for your little handpeople to live in, tree rings to produce fruit for them and animal rings to complete your little handscape.

You had a great time in college. But the whole time you were blowing off responsibility for toga parties, pool parties and keggers, your snotty English major roommate was slowly and steadily building a vocabulary Ben Stein would be jealous of. 

You can catch up. Move over Snood and Slingo, we have a new go-to game. FreeRice is a vocab-enhancing SAT prep-like site that throws words your way, which you find the perfect synonym for. It helps you to become more precise, read faster, perform better at meetings and sell yourself to those around you.

Not only is it fun and beneficial for your noggin, it also makes a donation of 10 grains of rice for each word you answer correctly to starving people around the world, with the help of generous advertisers and the UN’s World Food Program.

So now you’re as articulate as your English-studying frienemy, with the added bonuses that you didn’t throw away countless partying hours studying the way she did, and you’ve helped fight world hunger.

Which, in your book, totally trumps her 4.0 GPA.

Girls love the idea of summer- glamorous yachts, lifeguards, deep tans and R&R come to mind.  The reality is much less sweet. Cellulite, sunburn and bees are just a few of the things to dread when warm weather rolls around. But the worst of all is trying on swimsuits.

For something as universal as swimwear, there are certainly a lot of categories. There’s the stripper-esque strappy spandex, color-blocked mom one-pieces, skirted monstrosities, unthinkable brazilian versions, and tiny triangle tops.

Our favorite version is the kind that’s so silly, the people around don’t notice the flaws. This Victoria’s Secret banana suit and cover up are a classic shape with a fun, bright print that’s sure to banish your bummers.

Though it probably won’t keep away the bees.   

You look like a million bucks for your date.  You have on a versatile gunmetal dress, metallic grecian sandals, your new Chanel studs and neutral, shimmery makeup.  As you put the final spritz of hairspray on your perfectly wavy (but still relaxed) locks, your phone rings.  The hunk you met at Home Depot is downstairs and waiting for you so you can Forget Sarah Marshall together.   

You race to your kitchen table to grab the amazing Gucci hobo your boss bought you for signing that big account, and realize that you still haven’t switched your loads of junk over from the brown Birkin you carry to work. Your wallet, phone, business cards, lip glosses, camera, etc. are in various internal and external pockets, and your keys are MIA. 

This little VIP bag from Neiman Marcus may have made for a better night. Not only do they hold all of your VIP items, they are easily tossed from purse to purse. These soft little guys can fit in any of your high-priced handbags with ease, and quick!  

It was really sweet of your BF to pick out a pretty bouquet of Tulips for your anniversary.  They were perfect when he gave them to you, but cost a pretty penny, dripped pollen and petals all over your hardwoods, and died within two days.   

Call us ungrateful, but these flowered Coach sandals would be a little more fun and a lot less trouble.

Dry biscotti and fattening muffins and pound cake every morning from the Starbucks drive-thru are standard with your nine to five lifestyle. Who has time to scramble an egg before racing out the door? 

Actually, you might have time to whip up a hot little something, because a kitchen wizard out there thought of Batter Blaster, a whipped cream-like dispenser full of pancake batter. All you need is a minute to heat up your iron, Pam it, and squirt in a serving.  

But before you write it off and rant about how mankind can’t get any grosser, take note of the “Organic” stamp. This wheat flour-based, all-natural batter is actually surprisingly light and fluffy, and not unhealthy. Three pancakes (1/4 cup of batter) is only 112 calories and .5 grams of fat.   

Now if only there was a way to get around showering. 

“You spin me right round baby, right round like a record baby… right round round round…”

It’s hard not to sing the lyrics to the classic “Dead Or Alive” song when you’re using this fun little contraption. Let us explain SpinLash, because it really is hard to believe.

Rather than dunking your brush into your gloppy mascara numerous times, gunking up your lashes, curling them, combing through the clumps, etc., this little magic wand does it all at once. Just dip the wiry bristles into the included mascara tube (only one dip is necessary) and push the little arrow button to spin the comb through your lashes.  

In one little step, this bad boy curls and applies coats of mascara to your lashes, and combs through all the chunks. Now that’s something to sing about.
