App Makes Life Easier and Delivers On Demand
While I love my to-do list, sometimes it gets really overwhelming to try to accomplish so much in one day. I’ve posted about limiting your to-do list before, but sometimes it just is not possible to cut your list down. That’s why I love apps where you can outsource your errands!
Unlike TaskRabbit which allows you to hire someone to assemble furniture or deliver groceries, the Wun-Wun app exclusively offers deliveries. With this app you can have anything you want delivered to you anywhere in Manhattan!
Sign up with a credit card and phone number and with a few taps one of their 200 helpers is on his way. Most deliveries are free (the app itself costs $0.99) but restaurant and coffee deliveries cost $20.
Just for fun, here is a list of ways you can use the Wun-Wun app:
1. Have someone else do your grocery shopping while you binge-watch “Breaking Bad”
2. Have wine delivered to your apartment while cooking for a dinner party
3. Have deodorant delivered while at the gym
4. Have your picnic brought to you in Central Park
5. Have medicine delivered to your door when you’re home with a cold
The best part is you never have to pay cash (or leave your couch) and the tip is included. The possibilities are endless really. Once you start outsourcing your life — you’ll find that you have much more time to do the things you really love!

4 Etiquette Rules You Never Knew
For some reason, I’m always the “go to” girl for etiquette questions at the office. Etiquette extends far beyond the rules of holding doors and proper forks. I actually rather like etiquette but there is so much I don’t know! Experts like Emily Post, author of Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics, and at Home, know much more than I do so I checked out their advice on these interesting etiquette questions.
1. Ladies first, right? Nope — not when we’re talking about a revolving door. Men should actually go through a revolving door first so they can push it for a woman. Don’t believe me? Lizzie Post has become my go-to for etiquette questions on twitter. Check out what she has to say!
2. To drink or not to drink: If you bring wine to a dinner party, it is considered a gift and the host does not have to open it. Experts recommend that if you want the bottle you brought to be opened that night, you should offer to be the one bringing wine to the party in advance.
3. While there are major disagreements about this, most experts say that you do not have to give a gift if you are not attending a wedding. As a matter of fact, some experts say that it is not required to give a gift even if you are attending. The gift is traditionally meant to support the marriage, not the wedding itself. But if you ask me — I say go with the gift no matter what.
4. You don’t have to stop wearing white after Labor Day. Lizzie Post recommends switching over to winter white when it starts to get chilly!

Fab Find: Evernote Smart Notebook
Remember two weeks ago when I started a new thing called “Shortlisted”? Well I’m renaming it — yes, already! I think “Fab Find” is so much more “me.”
So behold…the brand new “Fab Find” for this week…an Evernote Smart Notebook by Moleskine.
First off — if you’re not using Evernote, you should be. It’s the best place to keep all your lists, recipes, website clippings, gift ideas, notes, etc. I’ve been a big fan for a long time. There is also a notebook that syncs up with the Evernote app and website to make the experience even more cool. Here are a few features:
1. It’s a Moleskine product — Have you ever written in a Moleskine notebook? You must — it’s like no other. It just feels smooth and special. Trust me.
2. Digitize your content — Whatever you write in the notebook can quickly be saved to your Evernote account. Simply take a photo with your smartphone and it will digitize the note.
3. Easy to find what you need — When the note is digitized it is also automatically tagged. There are also stickers that you can put on each page that will send it to the category you choose. What that means is that any keyword you can think of is now associated with that note — making it easy to find when you’re pulling your hair out because you need to just remember “that thing you wrote down that time.” Read more
