Podio MP3 Handlebar Speakers
Posted by Jenny Lewis Categories: Music, Portable Audio / Video, Transportation,
For safety’s sake, bicycles and headphones don’t mix. The biggest problem with that is that a long bike ride can be marred by a lack of musical accompaniment! Luckily for you distance trekkers, 2-wheeled commuters and leisurely weekend riders, Podio has you covered. It’s a 2 GB MP3 player with an integrated speaker and an included handlebar bracket. Weighing in at a teeny 5 ounces, the Podio can easily be tossed in a pocket or worn around your neck for a walk, and with the built in headphone jack you’re not even limited to using the speaker.

Mother’s Day Gifts: North Face Celestine Travel Dress
Posted by Monica Edwards Categories: Women, Dresses,
When I have to pack for a trip, it doesn’t matter how well I fold or roll my clothes, they always come out as wrinkled as can be. So it is a great thing when a company designs clothing for the traveling, sporty mom who is always on the go and does not have time to pull out an iron and board. The Celestine Travel Dress from The North Face can be thrown into your luggage at the last minute so you have at least one outfit that is stylish and easy when you are in a hurry. It comes in 3 solid colors; black, (shown here), soil brown, and El Rio blue-also a print in eco green. The W Celestine travel dress is $70, and well worth the price considering the money you will save from dry cleaning.
Be sure to get out the other selections in our Mother’s Day gift series!
