There’s nothing like hearing a song you LOVE come on the radio.  Because it’s so unexpected, it’s just so much more satisfying than playing it on itunes.

What if we told you you could have the feeling ALL the time? Log on to Pandora for the ultimate radio experience. Just type the name of an artist or band you enjoy, and the genius Web site creates a perfect radio station for you of songs you’ll enjoy by that artist, and songs that have a similar sound and feel. You can then rate each song to help steer the station in the right direction, and it automatically saves your input. We have yet to dislike a song they’ve chosen for us.

Except for a few on the “Jessica Simpson” station.

We’ve hit it- the midsummer slump.  Many of us have used our vacation days, and need to be at our desks, ready to work. But those hot Roman men, the Eiffel Tower, Waikiki beaches and MGM Grand keep creeping their way into our minds.

Earthcam lets us escape, if only during our 20-minute coffee breaks.  Webcams around the world are all compiled onto one easy-to-use website, which acts as a fly on the wall in hundreds of locations in hundreds of countries.  So you can enjoy the excitement of Times Square, tan on numerous beaches across the globe, visit historic landmarks, and look for handsome men in Rome, all from your desk. 

That latte sure tastes better when you’re in a cafe in Paris, doesn’t it?

Your bikini is pinching your sides and your nephew just called you fat. It’s time.

Make an appointment with Bret Contreres at his gym Lifts, where he’ll melt away your muffin tops and buns with just a few sessions on the Skorcher, the ultimate butt buster. Already a hit with major celebrities and a gift in award show baskets, the machine shows results in only a few weeks. If you’re not into gyms, order the machine on his site for only $295. We know a certain bride who dropped numerous sizes and had to have her wedding dress altered because of her Skorcher encounter.  If that’s not enough proof, we don’t know what is.

Now all you need to do is drop the doughnut.

Scrapbooking should be fun, but is too exhausting to actually get through in one setting.  Usually it takes hundreds of dollars and a few weekends of developing, cutting, gluing, sticking and rearranging to finally have something to be proud of.  And even then, you feel passe and a little dorky for investing so much time into a book of your drunken houseboat pictures.

Bighugelabs has quite the extensive library of cool Flikr toys, which can do just about anything with your digital snapshots. Our favorite is the mosaic maker, which takes your favorite photos and turns them into a fun quilt of pics.  You choose the order, number of tiles, border and background shades, and voila- a perfect, bite-size reminder of your Havasu vacation in two minutes flat, minus the trip to that seedy strip-mall Michael’s. 

Looking to humiliate someone? We always are.

Log onto our new favorite distraction, FaceInHole. Choose a picture of your victim, choose one of hundreds of backgrounds and scenes to stick it in, and upload.  Instant mortification.

Muahahahah.

Remember when Tinkerbell got trapped in that lantern? Wouldn’t it have been awesome if you could have a little tink in a jar?

The cool folks at Charles & Marie have created an incredible, sandblasted Sun Jar, which almost looks like you’ve stored a trapped fairy inside.  The jar actually absorbs sunlight during the day, and emits a glow all night long on your patio, by the pool, surrounding an outdoor dinner party…

…or in your treehouse in Neverland.

Your boyfriend weighs a buck ten. His metabolism is a well-greased machine, which he packs only nutritious food into. He won’t touch saturated fat, eats veggies and lean meats nonstop and gluten-free Think Thin bars every morning, as you fight your muffin and pastry addiction and battle thunder thighs.

To escape judgement from the stick-thin manorexic, hide your cookies, candy and cakeballs in the secret cookie cavity in this ceramic mug from Charles & Marie.  

For all he knows, you’re just drinking herbal tea.

“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. 

Balls, cocktail parties, fundraisers, luncheons, cruises. As if there weren’t enough occasions to break out the Chanel. Add cruising the block on your bike to the list! 

In celebration of Coco’s passion for sporty glamour, Chanel has a stunning bicycle on the market. This $12,400 piece of couture candy has eight speeds, quilted leather saddle bag and seat and double-C central.  

You can’t just wear any old sweats when you take a spin on this bad boy. 

Nobody really knows quite how amazing your voice is, and Americans aren’t given a ton of opportunities to express our vocal abilities. Japanese, on the other hand, make business meetings, lessons in school and just about every other situation into Karaoke extravaganzas.

Pick up one of these Video ipod Karaoke Systems and build just about any social situation into a magnificent crescendo.
