 1/4 cup Allure Magazine 1/3 cup The Learning Channel (TLC) 1/2 cup of your favorite blog, no substitutes, use the real thing (DailyCents.com) 2/3 cup of People Magazine Mix that together, throw in two dynamic hosts and you have ChickChat radio, a live, daily show that’s relevant, non-political, and entertaining. The two hosts, Heidi and Laura, met while working at the same telecommunications company. They bonded over 12-hour days, frequent last minute travel, unrealistic expectations, and devil wears Prada bosses. So, they did what anyone caught in their position would do: they planned an exit strategy. Today, that exit strategy is a nationally syndicated radio show. Here’s when you can listen: - XM Satellite Radio - Take Five, Channel 155, Fridays 4 PM EST, 1PM PST

It’s official: chick chatting is the new chit chatting. |
 This is not a joke...We really wanted to find the catch on this one, so we could send you an e-mail with a warning saying that a new site that claims to offer free hit shows and movies is a total farce. But no such luck. Hulu.com, which launched earlier this month, has licensing deals with Warner Bros. Television Group, Lionsgate, the NBA, the NHL, and more. After we discovered that they are the real deal, it became clear the site is more of a hook than a catch. You can watch all of your favorite current television shows – Lipstick Jungle, Nip/Tuck, The Office, and Project Runway. Go old-school and watch episodes of In Living Color, Miami Vice, I Dream of Jeannie, or Who’s the Boss. The movie selection at Hulu makes 400 channels satellite television look weak. Cinematic choices range from Working Girl to Robin Hood: Men in Tights to Juno. Turn out sometimes there really isn’t a catch. So grab your popcorn and log on. |

 Finally, you’ve taken the vacation we’ve been hounding you to take. Then you have a moment of impending doom as a vacation’s most controversial question is broached: Where should we eat? Silence falls. You think of the last three times you suggested a restaurant. One required you to (almost) take a second mortgage out on your home. The second place was cited for three health code violations, the locals told you the next day when you mentioned your group felt a little queasy from last night’s dinner. And the third was one was really just an Arby’s with table clothes.
Zagat To Go is the panacea to the “where should we eat” conundrum for any situation. Using the gold standard Zagat rating system, the mobile version includes ratings and reviews for over 30,000 establishments. Want an outdoor restaurant known for its seafood? The combination of their new and improved interface, content updates, and powerful advanced search can pull up restaurants that meet your exact criteria. Other bells and whistles make a click the only thing standing between you and a delicious meal. Sort establishment by name or rating with a single click, click and call feature, maps and driving directions, a feature that creates and saves your lists of favorites places to eat, drink, stay, and play, and you can add reservations and appointments directly to your PDA calendar. Did we mention that it will also do the same for hotels, nightlife, and golf courses? It’s $29.95 for year and they’ll give you a 14-day free trial. Sounds like a reasonable rate to pay so your next weekend/vacation/dinner doesn’t suck. |
 There are some things from our childhood we would never like to think about again, like braces and being tormented in gym class. Then there are, however, markers of that pre driver’s license period that we wouldn’t mind resurrecting in a more adult form, particularly “the care package.” Somethingstore.com is where people over the age of 12 can go to find the grown-up version of the care package. For $10 (free shipping in the US), you’ll get an item selected randomly from the many things in their inventory. Just like in the good old days of anticipating care packages at sleep-away camp, it was fun wondering what was in the package. Our items included a great sapphire blue clutch, an homage to Sex and the City, and Much Ado About Nothing Shakespearean sticky notes that came in a variety of sizes. The guarantee is that you won’t receive anything dangerous or illegal. Click here for possible stuff you might receive (e.g. ipod shuffle, BestBuy Gift Card, Ralph Lauren necklace) and click here for stuff you will not receive (e.g. porn, alcohol, body parts). As for the rest of childhood, we’ll leave that in the past – where it belongs. |
