Your neighbor’s dog won’t shut up. Every time you pick up the paper, walk to your car, get the mail and mow the lawn the little effer yips at you. But not all watchdogs are bad!

Log on to Airfare Watchdog, which alerts you weekly to the cheapest online airfares. That’s right, you don’t need to peruse Orbitz, Travelocity and Cheaptickets daily to find the best rates anymore! Just sign up, enter your city of origin, and you’ll be e-mailed the cheapest national and international flight rates weekly, with links to sites where you can snap em up. 

Maybe now you can escape from your neighbor’s obnoxious beast more often.

Dirty, cheap things are generally frowned upon. Adult movie stores, Frederick’s of Hollywood lingerie, street vendor hot dogs, Heidi Montag’s “Heidiwood” clothing line, Wal-Mart and Christina Aguilera are all good examples. But we found the one dirty, cheap item that actually warrants a purchase.

FishsEddy.com, a New York-based china and vintage plate shop, has an amazing line of china just begging to be bought. Designed by the amazing Cynthia Rowley, these “Dirty Dishes” plates and teacups feature the cutest little naked ladies ever. And they’re now 75% off, coming in at around $4 per plate.

There you have it. A dirty, cheap little miracle we wouldn’t mind at the dinner table.

There are a lot of reasons one might want to be Victoria Beckham. Though she seems a little off-base, she has a masterpiece of a husband, a glamorous past as an international superstar, and a supermodel figure. But the one VB quality we’re most jealous of is her incredible collection of Hermes handbags.  With a $60k Kelly or Birkin to match every little designer dress, it’s hard not to salivate over the thought.

For most of us, the closest we’ll get to such a collection is finding a beat-up discolored version at a thrift shop, or just holding a pretty crocodile Hermes creation in a department store on vacation. Well now, courtesy of the Hermes corporate website, anybody can print and fold themselves a little paper Hermes Kelly bag. So even if you can’t be Victoria, you now have a prop to help your daydreams seem a little more realistic.

Posh, no?

Walking into Sephora or your favorite department store can be practically deadly.  Well, that’s a bit of an exaggeration.  Let’s just say it can make one want to kill themselves.

Sometimes we’re wooed into the wrong shade by a hot male makeup artist who tells us we look “fabulous,” sometimes we splurge on something expensive and weird because a friend at work told us it works, and sometimes we just buy the first bronzer we see because there are just too many alternatives and the lunch break clock is ticking. No matter what, beauty shopping without the proper research is a disaster waiting to happen. And as if your neon orange face isn’t bad enough, the culprit is often un-returnable. Sweet.

Unload your menacing makeup to people it actually works for on our favorite little makeup site MakeupAlley. You can put that $40 barely-touched bronzer up for adoption on the Swap boards, or trade it for items on your Wish List (like that Benefit perfume you’ve always wanted). Best of all, you can browse reviews for nearly every beauty item ever created in the reviews section, to keep from ever mispurchasing again. Need to know which bronzer to pick? Go with the highest-rated. Can’t decide on a lipstick based on the ad? See what users thought of it and compared it to.

Maybe there is life after lipstick.

Somebody once told me that the reason Drew Barrymore lost all that weight is because she stopped her then-daily habit of eating avocados like apples. Like that’ll stop me from hoarding these bad boys.

Kona Grill, in Scottsdale Fashion Square, has the most brilliant celebration of avocado imaginable. It’s called the Avocado Egg Roll, and is truly a life-changing experience. A generous blob of avocado, chunks of sun-dried tomatoes and bits of red onions are stuffed in egg-roll shells and served steaming hot and crispy on the outside and cool and smooth on the inside. They come with a cilantro-honey dipping sauce, which we’re convinced is made with one part honey, one part cilantro, and one part dream-come-true.

Shhh… don’t tell Drew.

You’re in the car with your three brothers and some GFs and BFs, and for some unknown reason, the destination is Dunkin Donuts.

Though all of you (except for one) are pretty good eaters normally, the second you step in the door the poor donut guy can’t keep up as you all shout orders at him. Overwhelmed, the five of you leave with a dozen and a half donuts that you didn’t even really want.

Enter Eat This Not That!, an incredible, calorie-saving book by David ZincZenko and Matt Goulding of Men’s Health. This full-color picture book showcases the proper (and improper) choices to make in nearly every national chain, and gives you the calorie, fat, sat. fat and carb counts for the most popular things on the menus.  

For instance, at DD you’d be best off with an egg muffin than a whole wheat bagel and cream cheese or glazed cake donut. Who would’ve thought?

Certainly not you, who spent the rest of the day in a disgusting sugar hangover.

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.

 There’s nothing like seasonal Starbucks bevs to perk up your days. No matter what’s happening in your life, those little shots of different flavors sure make a difference. 

Summertime has always meant lemonades and fruity teas. Once September rolls around they unveil the Pumpkin Latte- perfect for bonfires and raking leaves. The second November hits, Eggnog Lattes, Gingerbread Lattes and Peppermint Mochas and those classic red cups hit the sparkly streets. Cinnamon Dolce Lattes hold us over after the Holiday syrups are finally gone in the end of January, but until now, there’s been nothing cool to look forward to in the season of Spring. 

Check out the new Honey Latte at Starbucks. As green as they will probably ever go, the earthy drink is a mix of honey, warm spice flavors, espresso and steamed milk, topped with whipped cream and a honey drizzle.   

It’ll go well with your boho clothes. 

There’s nothing like a fashion show of glorious couture to inspire you… to cartoon? 

Check out the blog of Fifi Lapin, a little rabbit with quite a closet. That’s right, somebody actually scours style.com and recreates the beautiful clothing on little cartoon bunnies. 

Call us insane, but we can’t wait to log on and see what she’s wearing each day. 

Feeling a little down in the dumps? Pop one of these Gold Pills to make your, um, excrement sparkle.

Each one is full of 24k gold flakes and dipped in gold. Created by Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid, makers of the $2000 CC Phone, this $425 pill does absolutely nothing but “increase your self-worth.”

Enjoy the high for a day or two.
