Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Hydrating Gel-Lotion in Grape*
I love the original 7 Days body lotion by Garnier (the one with bright green bottles), and this does not disappoint at all. First of all, they’re cheap as chips for such a big bottle of lotion (if you get them from Chemist Warehouse, sometimes they can go on sale for less than 5 bucks. I once bought one for $3). It’s a slightly grainy thick gel that I found odd at first (why the grainy texture?), but the scent and sensation on the skin more than made up for it. The part about feeling the hydration up to 7 days after the last application is a bit of hokum to me, but if you’re looking for an affordable, decent and yummy-smelling body lotion, do check this one out.

The Body Shop Beautifying Oil in Olive
It seems a little strange to be buying body oils when winter is over, but this is so light that it doesn’t even matter when you use this. It’s a multi-tasking oil which can be used on the face, body and hair. I’m not too keen on using this on my face and haven’t tried this on my hair yet. On the body, oh yeah, it’s a good body moisturiser. It’s light and doesn’t leave the skin feeling greasy even though it’s an oil. I’m looking forward to using this on my arms and legs to give my skin an extra glow in summer when it’s tank tops and shorts season 😛

There’s been a lot of talk on the blogosphere lately, on Google deprecating Feedburner’s APIs and that they will be shut down on 20 October 2012. I’ve been getting emails and comments on what I think of the issue and what can be done.

So what’s this debacle about?

In short, since Google acquired Feedburner years ago, they haven’t been updating the service in a long time. They shut down their Twitter and blog mid 2012 and announced that the APIs (application programming interface) have officially deprecated as of 26 May 2011. This meant that Feedburner APIs were no longer in active development and that they’ll be shutting it down in October.

Most of us (including me) didn’t realise this until we started seeing the “0 subscribers” tag in our Feedburner widgets. Then all hell broke loose.

What does this mean for you and I who use Feedburner?
