Girl Geek Chic

If you’ve got a few cheeky eye wrinkles appearing and like myself can’t really get your head around the whole Botox thang - then check out these babies from Japan - I mean it couldn’t really be anywhere else could it. Simply wearing these ‘goggle-style’ glasses for 5 minutes every day will apparently improve the appearance of your face.  Will it? I mean *really* will it?

On the inside of the ‘Mejikara’ there are specially-designed ridges which massage and help your skin. It puts gentle pressure on the skin and pushes those sagging eyes back up to where they once were. But how do they stay up once you take the goggles off, that’s what I want to know?!

It might seem like another wacky Japanese invention but in fact the ‘Mejikara’ has been a bit of a sleeper hit, and I suppose it does beat injecting your face with poison! Do we love it or leave it?

RIM Blackpad

Due to be available as of November, this 7″ high end tablet is designed more as en enterprise tool so predominantly aimed at business users. It will include a new graphical menu system, secure email and of course wi-fi. We love Blackberry so will be interesting to see how it compares to the iPad…

HP Slate

Due to arrive early 2011, this will be a Windows 7 computer that has great touch screen capability and fast web browsing. Keep a look out for the so-called PalmPad, HP’s rumoured webOS tablet, which is said to be landing later this year, complete with stylus.
 

Samsung Galaxy Tab

This arrives in September and is a 7″ tablet  with a good quality OLED display, powered by a 1.2GHz processor. It is probably the closest rival to the iPad and runs Android 2.2. It also has wi-fi and 3G.

We all have SO many gadgets - even self confessed technophobes have at least one teeny, weeny mobile phone. But is having all sorts of gadgetry in the bedroom and (I’m not talking sex toys here) bad for our sex lives? So many of my friends have a TV *at least* in the bedroom which they will watch with their boyf or hubby before nodding off, and furthermore if the telly weren’t there would you be more inclined to get down and dirty? And how many of us are guilty of sending one last tweet or Blackberry IM from the comfort of our cosy beds hmmmm. 

Should we make our boudoirs a ‘gadget free’ zone (*shudder*) or does it make no difference at all?

Tweet us what you think @girlgeekchic and we may even send you a gadget of your very own to spice things up!

How many times do you see *gorgeous* iPads covered in smudgey fingerprints! Yuk! Monster CleanTouch solution now puts a stop to that as not only does it remove the mucky paw prints from  your iPad/iPhone/iPod, it also leaves a special microthin coating that is fingerprint proof for up to an hour and a half.

You get a pack of CleanTouch cloths as well as a carry-on friendly 20ml bottle, a microfiber cloth and a carrying pouch that you can slip your iPod Touch/ iPhone into. The Microfiber cloth also features special antimicrobial protection to help reduce the spread of germs and bacteria.

The Monster Cleantouch is a must-have for any tech-loving (clean freak) Apple fanatic.
