Happy Earth Day, folks!

I've been noticing on Facebook a lot of people talking more about their eco-cuffs. So I became a fan of GreenMarketGirl, and I have to tell you, I LOVE these wooden bracelets!

Gah, aren't they gorgeous?

Perusing her Facebook more (by the way, this is a local company!), I see this:

Our EcoCuffs and other products are created with the remnants and offcuts in our custom furniture/design company. We use only certified lumber and low- to no-VOC compounds making them environmentally friendly.

Fabulous.

To purchase directly, check out her Etsy page. So many great items up for sale, so little money in my wallet!

Gosh, have I told you folks about how bad I am about dropping my iPhone? The last one I had, I managed to crack the screen all the way down the middle. No bueno!

In honor of Earth Day, here's an iPhone (or iPod) case that you must get from Vers.

According to the site, these cases are very renewable: "For every tree we use, we replant 100 through our partnership with The Arbor Day Foundation and the US Forrestry Service to re-forrest areas damaged by fire and other natural disasters."

As far as protection goes, (which is a big deal if you paid the full price on this bad boy!) you really can't beat some hard wood. "Wood is tough stuff - it’s nature’s version of carbon fiber. Naturally rigid and impact-resistant, when reinforced with steel pins, it’s serious protection for your iPod/iPhone."

Want to order this snazzy, Earth-friendly product? Visit www.versaudio.com. (The closest retail spot to snag this case is in Sanford, N.C. — 90-something miles away!)

If you're a Twitter GEEK like so many of us are today, this might be a good way for you to increase your followers and get you some Twitter visibility in the real world.

Survival of the Hippest is an "entrepreneurial General Store" that offers handcrafted jewelry (silver or gold) to pimp out your Twitter name or hashtag. Silver starts at $49.95 and gold is from $89.95. Sure, it's a little expensive, but you want to add followers, don't you? With one of these, all people have to do is look at your neck to see what your Twitter handle is — beats having to follow a buttload of people in hopes that they'll follow you back!

Honestly though, I think if I had my Twitter handle put on a necklace (@qcklepto), when I went shopping, store owners might be a little nervous.

Thanks to our online producer Priscilla Tsai (her Twitter handle is @prisciallatsai) for the tip!

Found this on Monkee's Lake Normal Facebook page.

Fabulous colors (I love, love green), great cut, guaranteed to turn heads on date night or hitting up a Miami-style club (do we have those here?). Throw a cardigan over those bare shoulders and you've got a stylin' outfit for the daytime.

$79? Not bad, folks.

624 Jetton St., Suite 130, Davidson

I just MIGHT have to defriend Heels.com from my Facebook. This photo popped up in my Newsfeed just now, and I absolutely WANT these shoes. The shoe porn is eventually going to get to me and I'm going to have to break into my piggy bank.

Sam Edelman's White Azaria Flat - Off White Matte for $94.99

I'm supposed to be setting aside my extra money for a trip to the beach in a few weeks ... but wouldn't these be perfect to wear on date night in Tybee Island? Hmmm ... how can I get Mr. Boyfriend to buy these for me and think they were his idea?

So ... there's a phantom in my office who leaves me random information on my desk. Earlier this week, I found a page torn out of a health magazine about getting healthier for free taped to my desk. I asked around to see who'd left it so I could thank them for being so considerate of my health and my wallet, but no one knew what I was talking about. I even texted my photographer friend whom I go to yoga with to see if she'd come by in the middle of the night to leave that for me (why she would, I don't know), but she hadn't.

Today, I found a press release for Toiluxe in my chair. The headline reads: Art You Didn't Know You Wanted.

From the release:

Toiluxe, brought to you by Boston area artist Stephanie Ziobro could possibly be the best thing to hit your bathroom since two-ply toilet paper. Realizing that the bathroom is the smallest yet easiest room in your place to decorate with eclectic flair, Toiluxe can custom design toilet seats to tickle the fancy of your fanny with artwork ranging from elegant to outrageous to anything your derriere desires.

Toiluxe is one of a kind “functional” art, using an original medium - toilet seats. Each seat is hand-painted and cured with an acrylic sealer to prevent water damage. Toilet seat mounting hardware is included, however feel free to mount this unique piece of art outside of the bathroom. Hang on your wall, over the peep hole of your door, where ever you see fit.

So, what do you think of this line? Is it the "best thing to hit your bathroom since two-ply toilet paper?" I personally love this product and demand someone buy me the toilet seat cover below. What a great way to add some color to my otherwise boring bathroom. Yes, it may be the room where business is taken care of, but hey, I like to be surrounded by pretty designs and colors. I've managed to add some brightness with a yellow rug and yellow towels, but THIS would really complete the look.

Flipping through the already available options, I see they even have a toilet seat with Ellen's face on it! How would you like to be greeted by that every morning? More importantly ladies, how would your man feel about being greeted by that every morning?

Better safe than sorry, I always say!

The people who brought you the OhMiPod, the music-powered vibrator, now bring you LoveBuckle, a leather belt that features a brushed metal buckle with “circular cut-out window” for displaying “uniquely designed One® condoms.”

Amanda Hess, from our sister paper Washington City Paper, analyzes the possible messages that the LoveBuckle might emit: Yes to sex? No to hoes?

The LoveBuckle comes in either black or pink, sizes range from small to X-large and there are 4 mixes to choose from. All for the "low" cost of $85.

People have paid so much more for fashion — would you pay this much for safe sex?
