Mom to two sweet kids that lives in the Bay Area. Besides my kids, I have a few other interests, like technology, fashion, food, travel, and design. I am also pondering my next career, my next home and what other adventures I can venture on. Questions? Send me an email quyen_vu@yahoo.com.
So many things to be thankful for. Everyday I feel lucky for the following:
* Happy and healthy husband and kiddos
* A roof over my head without the crazy mortgage
* having the energy to run after the kids and still exercise for myself
* my healthy parents that live nearby
* friends that are supportive and funny

Very cool!
Dancepants Kinetic Music Player designed by Lithuanian designers Inesa Malafej and Arunas Sukarevicius. It is a brilliant and simple concept, using kinetic energy to generate the power for MP3 player while you running and dancing. The kinetic module is attached at the pants leg with a connection running along the leg up to a pocket where the MP3 player is connected.
“it is a 100% interactive way to feel the value of energy on your own . During the movement of feet, kinetic energy is collected to play music. The inverse dynamism of “Dancepants” motivates you to move your feet in order to hear your beloved music. And as long as you keep running or dancing you can be sure you won’t run out of battery. “via likecool
That is if you can read Taiwanese.
Colin Lin wanted to recycle her ever growing pile of newspapers, so what does she do? She turns the newspaper into shoes!
Lin says that her “concern is for comfort, fashion and the environment” and tries to stay away from all the chemical used while making regular shoes.
The surprisingly cute designs seem to already be a hit! Over 4,000 pairs of the environmentally friendly shoes have been sold.
But just because they’re recycled newspapers, don’t think they’ll be the same price as one. A pair of the recycled footwear, which only takes 3-4 hours to make, cost between $100-$150.

I was going through some old photos and came across this one of my mom. I believe she was preggo with me. Pretty safe to say that I got the hugemongous lips gene from her.
If you have another chance, please find out and pass it along. The rest of us would like to know about the doughnuts and staying thin too.
thanks V!
The other day I got an email from Viesociety
It was kinda like getting an email from Batman or Santa Claus.
I can’t believe I was so casual about it. Why did I not ask any questions, like
“Who are you?” “How do you afford all those fabulous clothes and holidays?” or the burning question for me: “How in the hell do you eat all those doughnuts and stuff and stay so thin?”
Dammit. Missed my chance.
So pretty
