Eyestorm
Online and London galleries

Are your walls in need of an update? Original contemporary art is a must - so my hip n’ chic friends keep on telling me. If you’re less than art savvy (like me…) then check out www.eyestorm.com - an online gallery of limited edition contemporary art. Eyestorm select only the hottest talent - making buying affordable, fine contemporary art a cinch. If you live in London you can also visit their cool Bankside gallery (next door to the Tate Modern). Since the gallery opened its doors 9 years ago, it has exhibited work by the likes of Damien Hirst, Antony Micallef, Willard Wigan, Josie McCoy and Lucie Bennett. Eyestorm prides itself on the diversity of its artists and their artwork; recently it has had an influx of new, international work - super popular with those in-the-know; nab a piece or two while you still can!

Ello Mobile
Belgium

I just love telling everyone I know about companies like Ello. A new mobile operator that was established with the sole aim of giving away 100% of its profits. Instead of offering the usual bargain-basement cellphone plans, Ello offers its customers the chance to contribute directly to a cause with every call they make, and text message they send. Customers can currently pick one of six projects, from protecting the jungles of Sumatra to providing mobile schools to street children in South America. So now you can care while you call- genuius!
