Dear Poll: Are You a Control Freak?
For me, the feeling of being out of control is one of the worst feelings in the world. I wouldn't call myself a control freak per se; I just don't like surprises! Unfortunately, some people view control freaks in a negative light— calling them power trippers and know-it-alls — but I don't consider it a personality flaw in the slightest.
Dear Quiz: Who Wears the Pants in Your Relationship?
I'd like to think that all relationships are created equal, that each person has equal power, but let's be honest, that's just not realistic. Sure, the power can change from day to day or month to month, but someone seems to always have the upper hand. So where do you fall?
Wind-Up Cell Phone Charger
Whether or not this Wind-Up Charger actually works is beyond me. I don't doubt that it does, I just can't help but wonder if it's anything like the wind-up radios of yesteryear. With the wind-up, cell-phone charger, you can charge up your phone when there isn't an electrical outlet in sight.
The APC Mobile Power Pack
When FabSugar returned from fashion week, she not only shared runway stories but gadgetry goodies as well! Perfect for traveling and event-filled days, this UPB10 Mobile Power Pack by APC is lightweight, sleek and can charge up all your gadgets when you're on the go. With lithium polymer battery cells, you get a higher power density than traditional lithium ion cells for extra power output.
iGo Juice 70 Notebook Powerbook Adapter
Whenever I travel, I'm usually on the look-out for Wi-Fi and power outlets. As important as the internet is, I've realized that if you don't have power, Wi-Fi is basically useless! It's ironic that I just happened to spot this laptop power adapter because I was just saying last week that I wish I could get power while in the car.
Emotional Abuse Does NOT Belong in a Relationship
Let me say this out loud - Mental Abuse is STILL Abuse. A person does not have to hit you or hurt you physically in order for it to constitute as abuse.
Someone who is emotionally abusive often feels worthless themselves, and uses their relationships to create a feeling of personal power and control over someone else.
Dear Poll: Who Wears the Pants?
A recent study in Iowa examined the dynamic of 72 married couples whose average age was about 33 and average length of marriage was seven years. After observing how the men and women interacted, women appeared to have more power, more domineering and dominant behaviors than their husbands, regardless of who brought up the topic of conversation.
These results were not all that shocking to me, especially since I know so many strong willed women.
Visually Stimulating Energy Saving Adapters
Saving energy never looked so good! Discovered on Yanko Design, these sleek white Energy Saving Adapters by designer Giles Belley are said to reduce the energy consumption of electronics left in standby mode in half. Each module corresponds to a device and when energy is being wasted, a layer of light will glow on the surface of the adapter.
Eubiq's Unique Power Outlet Track
In older homes and buildings it can get really tiresome trying to maneuver your workstations near sparse power outlets. I feel like I'm the queen of power outlets and multi power plug dividers, so I was pleased to read Eubiq's has designed a system with moveable power outlets on tracks to help rectify this problem. Featured on coolest gadgets, the tracks devices come with multiple outlets along the maximum 3.6 meter that you can adjust to your liking.
