Hello Kitty Gadgets

Just when you think the Hello Kitty phenomena could not get any weirder there is now a plethora of gadgets that continue to celebrate this theme.

One of the weirdest inventions is a tooth cap that looks exactly like the famous cat. You can get it as a frontal crown or as a hub type crown for a back tooth. Now that is a conversation piece. However it is a bit intimate. You would literally be opening your mouth to show someone how filed your tooth down to get a Hello Kitty cap on it.

Another weird as heck invention is the Hello Kitty contact lenses. These feature an image of the famous white cat in each eye. You have to be pretty fanatical about this anime character to want others to see that instead of your pupils.

Another strange invention was the Hello Kitty Vibrator. Originally marketed as the Hello Kitty neck massager it is a cult collectible. It started turning up as the subject of blogs when it became a noticeable object in fetish films.
Even weirder is the Hello Kitty Car Muffler. This thing attaches to your tail pipe. It is in the shape of the Kitty complete with whiskers and the cute little bow on the head.

Yet another strange little gadget is the Hello Kitty headlamp. A pink band fits around your head and a kitty shaped light lights the path for you. The drawback here is that the light is a little small. It is not exactly something that you would have your kid use to light his or her way when riding a bike.

There are all kinds of gadgets for the kitchen that come under the Hello Kitty brand. One of the cutest is the toaster. It is white with a relief image of the cute cat. It is a good toaster to give to a kid.

Another famous Japanese gadget is the Hello Kitty Keyboard which is bright pink with maternity green and baby blue buttons. Every key on the board looks like a kitten's face. It is made by a prestigious company in Japan called Sanrio.

Although technically not a gadget the Hello Kitty Dog House is worth mentioned. It is pink, can fit a Chihuahua and is festooned with 7,600 crystal beads. The pink pillow inside is in the visage of Hello Kitty's face. The cost for all of this luxury for your lap dog is a mere $31,660.

How to Make Your Own Chemical-Free Moisturizer

Essential oils of many types are very good 100% natural moisturizers. However, it is important to note that you need to choose the right kind of oils for your own skin if you want to use them as a moisturizer.

For example, dry skin is best treated with richer, heavier oils such as olive oil or sesame whereas combination or sensitive skin would be better treated with lighter oils such as jojoba, avocado or grapeseed.

As an example of how you would use oils in this situation and assuming that your skin is dry, you could apply a mixture of olive and vitamin E oil directly to your skin. Alternatively, a combination of olive oil, eggs and lemon juice (better known as mayonnaise) is also extremely good for dry facial skin.

All-round natural moisturizer: For an excellent all-round natural moisturizer that will work with almost any skin type, mix together half a tablespoon of cocoa butter, two tablespoons of beeswax, 2 teaspoons of boiled water, three tablespoons of sesame oil and two tablespoons of both coconut and olive oil.

Start by mixing the grated beeswax with the water so that the wax can be melted over a low heat. Mix the cocoa butter with the wax before gradually stirring in the three oils.

Once the ingredients are well mixed together, remove it from the heat so that it can cool and thicken. Before it does so however, make sure that the mixture is transferred into airtight glass containers that can be kept in the refrigerator so that the paste stays usable for a long as possible.

Each of the individual ingredients serves a different purpose. For example, coconut oil is rich in vitamins as well as fat to soften your skin, whereas cocoa butter protects the skin against the worst ravages of the elements, particularly the wind and the rain.

Glycerin for dry skin: If your problem is dry skin, then glycerin is a natural emollient, a substance that moisturizes, softens and limits the harshness of your skin condition.

For this treatment, you are going to drop 5 teaspoons of gelatin into 2 cups of hot water. Once the water has cooled, add three tablespoons of glycerin plus any essential oil that you want to add to give the mixture a lovely fragrance. You could for example use an oil such as rosemary to give a mixture a relaxing aroma before applying it to your skin.

Dry skin moisturizing solution: For this dry facial skin treatment, you need 2 ounces of olive oil, 4 ounces of shea butter, 2 teaspoons of vitamin E oil, six drops of essential lavender oil and 1 teaspoon of active royal jelly which you should find in the refrigerated section in your local health food store.

Once you have all the ingredients, mix them together over a high heat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Once it has cooled, keep it in airtight container in the fridge to prevent the mixture spoiling. This is a fantastic treatment for dry skin, but unfortunately, it is one that you can only make in small batches because the royal jelly is active.

Nevertheless, it's very well worth doing if your problem is dry skin.
