Mind Mapping Software From MindGenius

fashionandorstuff — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 12:07:36 +0000

Whilst I was away I found something else that certainly peaked my interest. Now this isn’t fashion but it certainly is stuff. I came across MindGenius Mind Mapping Software. This was recommended to me by a friend and I now use this mind map software for everything. I use it for work when I’m planning projects and brainstorming for ideas. I use it at home for creating shopping lists and for note taking. For those that don’t know, a Mind Map is a diagram used to represent thoughts and ideas with branches extending from each idea centered round a specific keyword or idea. It has been suggested that the mind mapping technique can improve learning/study efficiency up to 15% over conventional note taking. Thank you MindGenius! I mind map everything in my life right now. At the weekend, before my weekly shop, I will map out all the things I need to buy or could potentially buy and rank them in order of importance. Just in time for Christmas! I don’t know how I survived without mind maps before. Check out MindGenius Mind Mapping Software yourself!

This is my first post in a long time, I do apologise. Whilst I have been away, I have found an amazing website that specialises in jewellery for children. The amount of choice and variety of jewellery impressed me. With Christmas looming, I have been rather stuck as to what I would get my young niece. I came across Jo For Girls by chance and I thank the fashion Gods i did. Jo For Girls have a beautiful collection of designer silver jewellery ranging from Beads to Bracelets and from Charms to Necklaces. Childrens Jewellery have never looked so amazing. I decided to go with a lovely little bracelet and a couple of charms. That should please her. Don’t worry she is too young to read this. Here are a few items i’m considering buying.

Summer Sale!

It is now late June and just so happens to be my favourite time of the year – it’s Sale time! There are some brilliant sales on right now with offers of up to 50% off as all the big brands try to get rid of the Spring/Summer collection and bring in the new Autumn/Winter range. I’ve already spent a fair bit of money on the Reiss sale. I’ve had my eye on this casual jacket for a while but it has always been outside of my price range. However, I bought it for £79, down from £159, now that’s a saving!

iPhone 4 Has Arrived!

The iPhone 4 has finally arrived after months if not years of anxious waiting. People have queued up for days to be the lucky ones to actually buy an iPhone 4 on the day of release, why they don’t just pre-order online and save the hassle of queuing still baffles me? Apple claims its display and larger battery gives the phone 40% more talk time; they say owners will be able to browse a 3G network for 6 hours before recharging. The camera, which many considered poor in previous models, has been improved and the phone is powered by Apple’s new Operating System, iOS 4.

The newest version of the iPhone has not arrived without its criticism. On launch day various complaints were made about how holding the new iPhone by its sides can decrease reception quality. Steve Jobs, co founder and chief executive officer of Apple, has actually come out and addressed these issues by saying, “stop holding the phone that way” and “buy a case.” He never was one to beat around the bush.

Parklife Festival 2010

Grab your tent and wellies, it’s that time of the year again – it’s Festival season! Tickets were sold in record time out for the hotly anticipated Parklife Festival 2010 situated in England’s Manchester. The Parklife festival takes place annually in Manchester’s Platt Fields with this year featuring over 40 acts across 6 stages with a line up that consisted of names such as Friendly Fires and Booka Shade. There was a real emphasis on value for money, top quality acts and other kinds of madness planned in order to kick start Summer with a bang. There are still opportunities to acquire tickets through competitions in the Bench Live website for other festivals such as Melt and Creamfields. The opportunity to win festival tickets will still be appealing to many. I will certainly try to win a ticket. For more information about the Parklife Festival and other music events, check out the Bench Live website – my favourite place to get the latest news and views from the music world.

Katy Perry Style!

fashionandorstuff — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 16:25:46 +0000

Since Katy Perry burst onto the scene in 2008 with the controversial song ‘I kissed a girl’, she has sold hundreds of thousands records as well as reaching the front of top fashion magazines. Thus, media attention has incessantly followed her wherever she goes. However, every picture I see her in she just looks great. She has such an original, unique fashion sense that has attracted the attention of the top fashion labels. Her style is one of quirkiness but does quite reach the level of eccentricity of other famous names such as Lady Gaga. Here she sports a few outfits that are reminiscent of 40s styling, a look she suits well.

The 2010 Football World Cup has got underway; therefore not for the first time this post has a football theme. Some of the greatest players in the World have descended upon the southern most tip of Africa to ply their trade. However, the life of a footballer does not solely involve the kicking of the ball. They also have to perform some strenuous modelling. These are some of the best dressed men in Football.

Handcrafted Couture

I wish I could afford this Sweater. The attention to detail is unbelievably which perhaps explains the hefty price tag. Elvis Jesus design some of the most impressive items of clothing around right now.

Gift Ideas

When it comes to birthdays for my mum and sisters, I can never think of what to get them. I spend hours scouring the internet thinking, “What on earth would they like?” However, I then came across the Abahna website. Abahna specialise in exotically scented bath and body products, scented candles and beautiful gift sets. I don’t have a clue what the name means but I like it. The site looks amazing as does the packaging which is most important of all. They have an eclectic range of bath salts, body lotion, bath foam and bath oils. Certainly one of these will be the perfect gift.
