Taaz.com
If you are female and between 1 and 100 then this site will probably interest you.
Taaz.com is yet another social networking site, but we think this one is really cool. Thousands of women get together and share tips, tricks and advice about beauty and style, something like the biggest local hairdressers you've ever seen!
One of the best sections is their Virtual Makeover, where you upload a photo of yourself, and then go mad seeing what you would look like in a wide selection of lip glosses, foundations, eyeliners, hairstyles and accessories.
This way you can check whether you really want to go gothic this summer, or whether Julia Roberts' latest hairdo is the one for you. The website also has experts there to answer questions on all sorts of things, not to mention great bargain alerts. It certainly won't change your life, but it is perfect for whiling away a couple of hours and having a good giggle!

Icelandic Island Getaway
Looking to get away from it all, with nothing but a few sheep for company and a nice view? Try the island of Elliðaey near Vestmannaeyjar!
You may have to figure out the scheduling with present owner Björk, but the winter months are probably not overbooked.

Rumour has it that when she approached the government of Iceland about buying the island, they decided instead to give it to her as a token of their gratitude for putting their country on the global musical map. Nice.
