About 3 weeks into living away at school is about the time you realize all the stuff you actually need, instead of all the items you had previously bought over the summer. If you are strapped for floor room (and I know you are being that you are living in a dorm), but are still looking for a comfortable piece of furniture to sit in, I would recommend a Comfort Research Twill Beanbag Club Chair. Offered in 15 colors (including tye dye and camo), this is a highly durable chair that is stuffed full of comfortable “fuf foam”, and sealed with double stitching to ensure a secure fill. The foam is soft, yet it is sturdy enough to keep the shape of the chair regardless of how many times someone sits in it, falls asleep in it, lounges, or plays video games in it. As a super squishy beanbag chair, this piece of dorm style furniture requires no assembly, is easily movable, and can fit 1-2 people. College furniture is often difficult to buy because either it is to big, or too expensive, or it just doesn’t go. Comfort Research understands the plights of college students, which is why they have made the beanbag club chair highly affordable and in multiple colors to fit any style.

If there is one thing I HATE, it is being out of the loop in terms of timely news. Honestly, how many times have you been involved in a conversation about current events, and you are stuck just nodding a long because you really have very little idea of what the group is talking about? To truly gain a week-by-week understanding of the most important current events covering science and technology, the arts, business, and society as a whole, you need to get yourself a Time Magazine Yearly Subscription.

Summer is over so you mays well just kiss your sandals, thongs, and flip flops goodbye. The season is here to put on a warm pair of socks, and wear an even warmer pair of Ugg Classic Short Sand Boots. Pretty much as trendy as it gets, trust me when I say these Uggs are not going out of style any time soon! As one of the most comfortable, durable, and best looking boots on the market, the Ugg classics use twin faced Grade A sheepskin in order to keep feet warm and dry even during those snowy days and nights. For added comfort the pair of Uggs are highly flexible and use an EVA outsole for superior traction, even on the most slick of surfaces. I like this pair because they are able to fit both over and/or under a pair of jeans, and they use a suede heel guard for extra foot and boot protection. Keep in mind that the Ugg Classic Short Sand Boots run large in size, so be sure to order one size smaller than you are used to for a perfect fit.

One of the hardest things to have is a perfect, young looking complexion. A very lucky few have naturally young looking skin regardless of how old they get, and never need to use any type of cream or moisturizer to look good. But for the rest of 99% of the world who is steadily aging, I recommend using Philosophy Hope In A Jar. Originally created for the medical field as an anti aging cream, this mainstream moisturizer helps to eliminate puffiness, age spots, and fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike many other facial creams on the market, Philosophy Hope is not a heavy a thick/greasy feeling lotion. Instead, using various natural ingredients and botanicals, your skin will be left feeling firmer, brighter, and more supple with only a few applications. Luckily, Philosophy Hope also works very well on sensitive skin and a 2 oz. jar could last up to 6 months of use! Amazon is currently offering this Philosophy cream (as well as lip moisturizers, facial cleansers, and washes) for a great low price.

John McCain is running to become the next President of the United States. I for one would like to get a bit of insight on his ideals, mentality on democracy, and attitude towards courage before I place my important vote. Why Courage Matters: The Way to a Braver Life written by McCain, is a memoir describing his thoughts and meditations on what it takes for a country to stand tall and strong. With accounts from his POW internment during the Vietnam War (as well as other specific times in his life), McCain was able to gain the strength of mind, body, and spirit in order to eventually be the one to lead the country through acts of leadership and courage. Why Courage Matters is an important read for any person (Republican or Democratic) who wishes to understand why McCain is the man he is today, and to appreciate the platform that he is running on. This political book is offered as a hardback copy, paperback, through the Amazon Kindle, audio download, or audio CD. It can also be sent next day shipping if you want to get your hands on a great read fast!

If you are the outdoorsy type, you must already be aware of the changing seasons. Personally I like the cooler air because I am able to go out to my garden at sit for a few hours by my chiminea. There really is nothing more relaxing then sitting by a fire like this, and smelling aged wood on a cool night. My cast iron chimenea is overall very good, but unfortunately it is enclosed which limits the view and the warmth. If you are in the market, I suggest buying a Deckmate Chiminea Fire Bowl in order to have a really great (and safe) outdoor fire. This 29 in. steel bowl has a full 360-degree view and will allow a full group of people to enjoy the warmth. For safety, the stainless steel construction (with cast iron legs) is corrosion resistant and highly durable against high heats, weights, and various outdoor elements. Also included with the deckmate chiminea is a fire grate that will allow the proper amount of airflow (for a good burn) and a fire tool in order to move hot logs to where you see fit. Overall this is a highly decorative outdoor fire pit that will come in handy as the nights are getting to be the perfect temperature.

In case you have been living under a rock or a really big tree, John McCain has asked Alaskan governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate in this years Presidential Election. But the question is, how much do you know about Sarah? I for one would like to read up on her (and her Republican background) as much as I can in order to have the best idea of whom I am voting for. Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska’s Political Establishment Upside Down, is an illustrated paperback published by Epicenter Press and written by Kaylene Johnson has recently been reprinted for the public. This biography is all about Sarah’s 2006 election into the Alaskan state government, and how her strong-minded ethics allowed her to become Alaska’s first (and youngest) female governor. The book also illustrates Sarah Palins drive and ambition as she was at first considered nothing but a long shot, but how her “barracuda” nature quickly won over her opposition in a landslide victory. Her acts in government had enough backbone to help reform many policies and helped bring politics back to the people. If John McCain thought it prudent to ask Sarah to be the next potential Vice President of the United States, perhaps we should see what she is all about.

Every kid big and small (and adult) wants to ride in the famous batmobile. Now, I have been lucky enough to see some of the originals up close, but have never been able to ride in one. If you know a little kid who enjoys Batman and his batmobile like I do, they need to get their hands on the Fisher Price Batmobile toy. For ages 36 months-7 years, all your child needs to do is shake up the toy for the engine to start! The more shaking, the more the engine is able to “rev” up to full capacity in order to get a long fast ride. The best part about the Fisher Price toy is that it even produces different Batman phrases (like “to the bat cave”) every time it is let go. All it takes is 3 AA batteries in order for this vehicle to go full speed ahead, and it is even durable enough to take multiple crashes, falls, and rolls without taking on wear and tear. If your child is a Batman fan, this is a great toy to inspire imagination, creativity, and possibly a young crime fighter!

If you are going to work hard as an academic, I suggest you use a comfortable computer chair to sit in. The Bowen College Computer Chair is currently being sold through Amazon at an extremely discounted rate (as of 9/8 only $49.77), which is perfect timing for the back to school season. Completely leather, the executive office chair offers lumbar support, 360-degree swivel rotation, a pneumatic gas lift for easy height adjustment, and ergonomic armrests for heavy typing. The Bowen chair can also be tilted back in case you need to relax with your feet up on the desk! If you have carpet in your dorm/office, this specific computer chair has “5 star” rolling casters that will easily coast along regardless of the weight put on them. Sitting at 20 x 21 inches with a back at 23.5 x 21 inches, this chair is extremely comfortable for people of all sizes and it even has a tilt lock for added safety and quality. Over all, this is a highly valued Bowen executive chair for an extremely discounted price. If you are a student or an at home businessperson, this is a great chair to have when spending long hours by the computer side.

That time is quickly approaching when we must make a final decision as to whom the next President of the United States of America is going to be. Regardless of your party (be it Republican, Democratic, Bi-Partisan, etc.) it’s always good to show a little support by showcasing a Presidential Election Bumper Sticker on your car. If you are a fan of Obama, get a “Barack Obama 2008” bumper sticker or, if you are going Republican, try a “John McCain 2008” oval sticker. You may be more against one party than for another, so there are even bumper stickers attacking the opposition! These stickers come in 2 sizes (medium and large) and are digitally printed on extremely durable 4-mil waterproof polypropylene. One issue that both parties are working towards is a greener tomorrow. In order to help this process, every Presidential election bumper sticker recycles as plastic to help ensure less garbage waste later on. If you are looking for something a bit more substantial in terms of Presidential support, Amazon is offering a wide variety of Presidential Apparel, patches, pins, ornaments, and stickers too.

Regardless of what party you are voting for (or voting against), there is no better way to show your Republican/Democratic colors than by wearing a 2008 Presidential T-shirt. Offered in a variety of styles and colors, these officially licensed t-shirts are 100% cotton, machine washable, and are ready to be shipped out within the next 24 hours! If Obama impressed you during the Democratic National Convention, don’t you think you should show some support by wearing an Obama For President T-shirt? In the same light, any person moved by John McCains speech during the RNC should be proudly wearing a John McCain 08’ T-Shirt in hopes to attract some new votes. Either way you look at it, this is going to be a very interesting election year as both candidates are highly qualified, and are facing an uphill task in the oval office. In order to show a little Democratic and Republican patriotism, Amazon is currently offering these 2008 Presidential T-shirts using different slogans, fabrics, and colors.

Fact number one, almost every little kid likes Batman. Fact number two, almost every kid like to ride a bike. Fortunately for kid’s ages 24 months-5 years, they are now able to ride the Fisher Price Batman Trike. This highly interactive lights and sounds Batman Trike features an awesome Batman design with decaled faceplate, traditional Dark Knight colors, and graphics. Made to fit children of all sizes, the Batman trike has an adjustable seat, and is highly durable for both indoor or outdoors use. Perfect for any child who wants to grow up to be a crime fighter, Fisher Price has included a Bat signal faceplate with 8 buttons and Batman sounds that even connect to the operational signal lights! Amazon is currently offering the Fisher Price Batman Lights and Sounds Trike for almost 30% off its original price, making it perfect for a fall weather ride (or gift). It may be difficult for Dad to keep his hands of the mini Batmobile, as I am sure he will want to take it for a spin around the block as well.

Between work, school, studying, errands, relationships, etc., how often do you actually get to sit at home and watch your favorite show? If you are like me, the occasions to recline and watch the tube have been coming fewer and farther between. The good news however, is that Amazon Videos on Demand are available to enjoy at any time. My particular favorite is the ability to watch HEROES (30 Rock s also available) anytime, anyplace, anywhere - as long as you have an updated Flash Player. Amazon is currently offering 1 of these t.v shows/videos on demand for absolutely free, as well as the option to sign up for the Amazon T.V Pass which includes a seasons worth of programming to choose from. This is perfect timing considering the new season of Heroes is just around the corner. Anyone who is looking to catch up on what had happened during season I or II might want to look to the Amazon videos on demand, this way you wont have to either buy the set in a store or have to take up hard drive space on a download.

In all honestly, I am a bit of a Star Wars junkie. I grew up with the original trilogy, so it is only natural that I am still enthused when cool Star Wars toys come out. Maybe I should act my age (yeah right), but I am happy to say Amazon sells Lego Land Star Wars Toys. The one I had recently gotten my hands on was the Lego Star Wars Anakin’s Fighter set, and believe me when I say it is awesome. This specific Jedi Starfighter model is the same fighter ship Anakin Skywalker uses in The Clone Wars TV show. As his customized model, this ship uses flick fire missile technology in order to take down the forces of the dark side, as well as retractable landing gear, and a spot for R2-D2. At 153 pieces and flying at 10” long, the Lego Land Star Wars set includes the ship, as well as a mini Luke Skwalker and R2-D2 figurine. Although I play with it, the recommended age for this Lego set is suitable for ages 7-12 and it can even be shipped for same day force fun.

So then after you drop down about $8,000 to pay for the first semester of college, you then have to go to the bookstore in order to pay premium amounts for your textbooks. My guess is that one (or many) of your professors just so happened to write a book of their own, and they find that this is the most satisfactory text for their class. Sound about right? Well, if you don’t feel like paying top dollar for your school books, look to Amazon New and Used Textbooks to get you by. You can easily search the Amazon data base by using either the book title, author or ISBN number (you know the long code with dashes above the UPC?). OR if you are looking for a bit of extra cash, Amazon allows you to also put your textbooks up for adoption! You can save up to 30% off of brand new textbooks and up to 90% off of the used ones. I am willing to bet that your college/university bookstore is not going to be offering you that same deal. Check to Amazons list of new and used textbooks before the semester is to far under way.

One of the most important ways to achieve peak health and conditioning is doing exercises that increase balance, agility, and core strength. The Gaiam Balance Ball Kit is a perfect way to do these specific exercises, which actually target problem areas and help to increase firmness throughout the entire body. At 65 cm large, this anti-burst balance ball also includes an air pump and a DVD workout video, which will instruct you on the basics of core body strength workouts. Specifically designed for people of all backgrounds and skill levels (ranging from basic to advanced), the workouts on the Gaiam balance ball will work your abs, glutes, hips, arms, back and legs. Paying close attention to your body’s “core” (i.e mid section), these exercises are completely impact free so that joints will be safe from injury. For people who are shorter or taller, the Gaiam Balance Ball Kit is also offered at 55cm and 75 cm, which works for heights from 5 ft- 6.5ft. With only 10-15 minutes of work a day, the Gaiam kit will steadily increase your balance, as well over all strength and firmness. Many people also find using this product with a Valeo Speed Jump Rope helps to burn fat at an even faster rate.

College kids like to eat and snack, and eat and drink, and snack and drink, and also eat too. In order to keep foods ready for the munching, it is best to get a compact fridge like the Igloo Stainless Steel Mini Fridge. This 1.7 cubic feet mini fridge is able to hold a 2 liter bottle on the inside door basket, and includes a sizable interior for all of your refrigeration needs. Environmentally friendly, Igloo created this compact fridge to use no CFC’s, and is a low energy consumption appliance.

Small appliances are the only things that keep the kitchen going in nice working order. That being said, I don’t know a college student to date that doesn’t rely on his or her fair share of single serve coffee (especially during finals season), to get them through the semester. In order to stay bright eyed and bushy tailed, I recommend the Senseo Single Serve Coffee Machine. Small enough to easily fit in any dorm kitchen, this coffee maker provides a 4 oz. cup of brew in a whopping 30 seconds. That pretty much means that whenever you are looking for a quick buzz, it will take less than a minute to recharge your battery with a single serve! The Senseo coffee pods are available in a mild, medium, dark, and decaffeinated roast to appease any palate, and the Senso single serve coffee machine even comes with a complimentary bonus gourmet coffee kit. The Senso has an emergency safety OFF switch that will automatically click if/when the machine has stayed on for more than an hour, and it includes machine washable removable parts for an easy clean. This coffee maker holds 4-8o.z mugs for a full cup of enjoyment.

Futons are a perfect way to retain space in small areas (i.e dorm rooms and college apartments), while still providing adequate comfort, support, and design to the room. This particular Euro Futon Black Mattress has a 3 position adjustable back, and can be used for both sitting and sleeping purposes. Although some assembly is required for the Euro Futon, the finished product will easily sit 2-3 people, or you can lay it out for a sizable 74” x 30” sleeping option. Using a powder coated silver metal frame with welded construction, the Euro style futon frame and mattress set is an extremely durable piece for any empty room. The “new age design” of black mattress will easily accompany any color or theme of your spare/common room, and at a discounted price of comfort! Along with the included cotton/polyester cover, the Euro Futon black mattress also includes 2 silver accent pillows, which are extremely plush and flame retardant. This particular Euro futon is being sold for a substantial 30% off at Amazon, but are being sold quickly due to the back to school season. Check them out today for a great addition to any room!
