Some would argue that when it comes to reading a book, there is nothing quite like turning the pages of one with ink on paper. Sure nothing looks as pleasing as shelves lined with rows and rows of rigid books with goldfoiled titles scrolled down their spines. However, it is pretty great having an entire library in the palm of your hand. But making sure the art of a book-bound-book is not lost in a deep sea of Kindles and iPads is a handmade book bound case with a cute name – DODOcase preserves traditional bookbinding techniques with a simple philosophy that keeps the centuries old craft alive and well by adapting bookbinding to fit modern electronic devices. The DODOcase has solid bamboo construction, a foldback-to-stand function and magnetic wake/sleep activation that keeps your fiction safe while maintaining the integrity of a hard-bound book, starting at $59.95 for iPad, also available for Kindle Fire

“Feeling fatigued, bloated or just plain gross?”

No? Well, in a few shorts weeks it will be Halloween (armed with a candy ration far greater than the amount handed out, then Thanksgiving (feast!) and then Christmas (cookies!). Which means that the holidays will be wrecking havoc on our waistlines for quite some time before that New Year’s Resolution can be put into place. So why wait? Cleanse now, indulge later (because no one wants a party pooper at the holidays and being the low-carb option at the table is a bit of a downer…)…and then detox as needed.

The Kaeng Raeng cleanse flushes out toxins naturally with fibers and water. Although there is no such thing as a “quick fix,” a cleanse is pretty darn close in my opinion. It is straightforward (drink!), makes you feel better from the inside out and doesn’t require a steady long term commitment or drastic lifestyle change. It holds true to my belief that if you feel good, you look good and you do good things (which makes you look even better).

The program has three levels and two timelines so you do the one that is right for you. Of course, every body is different and sometimes a cleanse can be too extreme. Find out if it’s okay for you but do not use if you’re diabetic, allergic, pregnant (or planning), breastfeeding or under the age of 15.
