Solar Laptop Bag: Are These Things Getting Better, or Worse?
It's like I'm playing my own personal waiting game with solar bags; I really want one, but I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars. When I see new ones, like this briefcase-looking Solar Laptop Bag from the MoMA Store, I just sigh. Six hundred dollars but it's still not amazingly fabulous-looking.
The Quest Continues: The Logan Solar Bag
The hunt for an affordable bag rages on; fortunately I've found one slightly more attractive and definitely more affordable than last week's Costume National Solar Bag: The Noon Solar Logan Bag.
Unfortunately, "more" affordable than a $1200 bag still isn't that affordable; the leather, hemp, and cotton bag with the gadget-juicing panels is still $452 (and $20 more for the glam all black version).
Still, it's a lot prettier and cheaper than what I'm used to seeing in this genre.
Costume National Solar Bag: Love It or Leave It?
Solar bags are usually bringing the ugly in a big way, but I'm not totally sure I hate this Solar Bag by Costume National. And though most solar bags are still pretty pricey, this one takes the cake: $1,905!
I might just buy a fancy bag and slap a solar panel on it for that price.
Solar Bags: Still Expensive But Now in Pretty Colors
Aside from the Noon Solar laptop totes, there really aren't that many stylin' solar-powered bags available for geek chic gals like myself. Thankfully TeamSugar user peelapom geek geared this solar powered juice bag, which just so happens to come in purple! Still pretty pricey at $250, but this bag features removable waterproof solar panels, which charge up your gadgets on the go and a nice padded area for your laptop!
Elegant Solar Powered Totes From Noon Solar
Back in June I introduced you to the Solar Powered Beach Bag, which happened to be one of the few solar bags on the market at that time. Five months later I bring to you the fashionable Noon Solar totes, which teamsugar's boyfriend couldn't help but share with me. The black leather Cortland Tote shown here features a solar panel on one side so you can face it inwards or outwards, two interior zipper pockets, and one exterior zipper pocket.

School Year's Resolutions: Eco-Friendly Backpacks
Send them off to school with the right pack on their back. When selecting the prefect bag for lugging books, art projects and supplies to school, eco-conscience parents know that avoiding knapsacks with shiny plastic designs will help limit their child's contact with PVC and lead. Selecting an eco-friendly backpack does not mean forgoing style for function.
Juice Up For Free: Solar Powered Chargers
While power from the sun is readily available, its usage and practicality are still a mystery to many. Solar chargers allow you the freedom to unplug from the wall and use natural light. Many battery chargers are continuously recharged via an array of photo-voltaic panels that convert light into free energy - meaning you can charge your devices whenever, wherever.

- The skin of smokers ages more rapidly than the skin of non-smokers, even in areas of the body not exposed to sunlight, according to a 2007 study. Women in the study who smoked also had much lower levels of vitamin E secretions in their skin. Vitamin E may protect the skin from sun damage.
- There may be an association between smoking and higher frequency of a type of acne (noninflammatory acne) in adult women, according to a European study.
- A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that a combination of antioxidants and trace elements supplementation raises the risk of skin cancer in women, but not in men.
- Overall, exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight (radiation referred to as UVA or UVB) accounts for about 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging.
