These are a few of my favorite (web) things


Daughter Stef and I subscribe and enjoy several newsletters. We decided to start our own monthy newsletter from the Rubi J Store. We're almost finished with our first installment.

The newsletters I mostly enjoy are from some of my favorite websites. Here's a sampling:

The National Geographic has the most awesome website of them all; a little bit for everyone. I especially like their green guide. Log on to http://www.nationalgeographic.com/.
For book lovers go to http://www.shelfari.com/ and join the club. We readers love discussing books and this website gives you the opportunity to find members that share your particular interest.

If you're serious about healthy dieting; the American Heart Association's website is the place to go. They have the highest success rating for taking the pounds off and keeping them off. Go to http://www.americanheart.org/.
NOW FOR THE FASHION MINDED:
Have you ever been in that situation where you've just been invited to society's biggest event and money is a little tight for a new killer outfit? Me neither. But if this happens, there's a website for us: http://www.weartodaygonetomorrow.com/. You can rent designer's clothes at a fraction of the cost. So what if I never have a need; it's a comfort to know I'm covered for all situations.

Another fun fashion site is http://www.christabellescloset.com/. This is a designer's resale site, although many items are new. You can buy an original Marc Jacobs' $1,200.00 handbag for $438.00, or a $600.00 pair of Jimmy Choo's strappy heels for $415.00. Pretty exciting, huh? Yeh, I know. Me, too. But they also have an under $10.00 department where I go.

Or, you can try to win designer clothes. Go to http://www.madberries.com/ and enter contests for some super cool prizes. I'm sure your email address will on a lot of mailing lists, but, hey, that's why we have "spam filter" and a "delete button". Plus, it's fun. And "girls just wanta have fun".
