How not to finish the cookie pack

This one is from Dr. Oz - if you really must have that cookie go ahead. But then drink a glass of water. It will make you resist the hedonistic impulse to finish the box.
Well, cookies aren't my weakness. I must try it on snap pea crisps which is my latest addiction.

Computer tip for Chrome

This goes out to all my fellow gmail users in Chrome. If you find yourself writing long emails only to press the wrong combination of keys and having all the text disappear, don't tear your hair out.
There is an undo command - Ctrl Z. I found it on a help message in Google of course. :-)

Non toxic nailpolish

The title sure has an oxymoron! But you read all about chemicals like formaldehyde (oh wait, is that for the remover?) and toluene. While link hopping I found this brand called Butter London which has gorgeous colors. It has also been vetted by The Daily Green as one of the best natural nail polishes. Do check out Priti NYC too.

The one downside? If you see their location list the product is available only in San Francisco. I'm not sure ordering online makes sense. I hope it is available in Elephant Pharmacy or Whole Foods in the near future.
