Logitech Harmony Remotes – Livingroom Hero Giveaway!

Saturday, January 15th, 2011

HarmonyOne

Logitech and the entire Harmony line has finally come to along to solve the problem of managing multiple remote controls and devices.  Count ‘em up – flat screen TV, surround sound speakers, DVD player, apple TV, cable TV and video game consoles fill my living room with remote controls!  The clutter is Killing Me and is an eye sore.    Sure, there are plenty of universal remotes that can manage your DVD player and TV, but the Logitech Harmony One replaces up to 15 remotes and does it with grace (talk about multi-tasking!)

Enter to win a Harmony 650!

I’ve been using the Harmony One (retail $249.) for the past month and can’t sing its praises enough.   What makes it nicer than other universal remotes?  It is well designed – fits in the palm of my hand and is not awkwardly shaped.  It feels balanced, like it can handle my channel changing obsessed family.  The Harmony One has a touch screen, so I can see my devices – my son’s Xbox, the wii and surround sound.  Best of all, I hit one-two buttons and it turns on my tv, switches inputs and finds the device.  It is also rechargeable, so no more looking for batteries.  Where has this been my whole life?

Don’t just take my word for it, you must read Desiree’s thoughts on the Harmony One.

We love it and know you will too, there are 5 types in the Harmony line from the Harmony 300i which manages 4 devices to the Harmony which is touch screen.   We are giving away a Harmony 650 to one lucky reader, this remote controls 5 devices, has a color LCD screen and a one-click activity buttons. (retail $99.99  ) Simply leave a comment here telling us which remote you’d most like to get rid of.  We’ll pick one winner at random.

LAMA Designs- Home goods from Argentina

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

While at the ALT Design summit last month, I had the pleasure of meeting Bay Area local Christine Martinez, the force behind LAMA designs. She wanted to bring the beautiful trinkets and home goods she discovered on her adventures to Latin America to the United States.  There is a nice mix of kitchen goods, home decor, accessories and paper goods with great stories to tell from far off lands on this online shop.

evitaboxesI was immediately drawn to two items hailing from Argentina. I am entranced by stories of strong women.   Hence storage boxes covered in images of the infamous Evita Peron are sure to bring style and spunk to any desk or craft table. (Set of 4 boxes $38.00)

I am also in major want of this set of lovely cotton pillows made by Argentine design duo Coty Larguia and Eugenia Troncoso. These sweet accessories are perfect for both a child’s room or some place more sophisticated, sans Sponge Bob. ($56 .00 each)
