For those of you closely following emerging trend of green modern gingerbread houses this holiday season, here is another fabulous ginger design– but this time, mod-style. A collaboration between Liz Bruwin, a furniture designer and her brother-in-law, Kevin Marx, an architect, this gingerbread house is meant to fill the void of modern ginger-architecture out there. (Is there a void? Because after covering three other gingermod houses in the past few weeks, we’re not so sure about that.) Nevertheless, this one is sure sweet-looking. Complete with sugar glazed windows, sugar grass and a beautiful gum-stick chimney, this minimalist design is sure give MK a run for her money.

Does this happen to you? Once you start dreaming about exotic places you'd love to escape to – natural wonders of the world where there are no malls or tinsel or shopping lists – you just can't stop. There are so many things you haven't done yet in life — like a safari on the Serengeti in Tanzania or swimming with the sea lions in the Galapagos or a trek to the Amazon and Machu Picchu – just puckering up to say Machu Picchu puts me in an adventurous state of mind.

Well, stop dreaming – Natural Habitat Adventures has come to the rescue. This eco-conscious company is offering, not one but FIVE, big vacations for two – one every year for five years – to the most exciting natural destinations in the world. Beyond those mentioned in my dreams, they've also got trips to walk with the penguins in Antarctica and the Falklands as well as a trip to Manitoba to schmooze with the polar bears.

I've entered – and so can you – every day up until the deadline, Feb. 28, 2009. Hope to see you there – if not, give the sea lions a smooch for me. Start clicking.
