Did you know cork is a naturally sustainable, durable, and water-resistant material? Pretty cool. If that weren't reason enough to jump on corky accessories, then maybe their rad texture and light weight will sway you. Try it out — we love how Victoria Beckham paired her cork Louboutins with a fiery red dress. Eco-friendly and totally Fab? Win!
If you're one of those people who saves corks, here's a clever way to use them. I spied the idea at a local cheese shop, but this cute reuse of wine corks would work perfectly at any party or wedding.
Here, the store cut a narrow slit halfway down a wine cork to turn it into a stand for a cheese label. Steal this strategy for identifying the foods on your buffet spread or to create DIY placecard holders for your guests. If you and your fiancé are fans of vino, this is a crafty way to incorporate that passion into your party.

In the world of wine, corkage is something entirely different as in the wonderful world of fashion. In Fab land, corkage implies a light hearted '70s sex appeal, via shoes. Turned off already? Cork isn't for everyone, but if you have some Farrah Fawcett just waiting to break free, take one of these flirty pairs for a ride.
Whenever there's champagne at a party, I always end up being the cork-popper. It's a relatively new responsibility of mine; just a few years ago I couldn't handle it. I always assumed I'd break a window, or shoot someone's eye out. However, now that I have the hang of it, I actually enjoy it. There's something exciting about the pop! If you wish to learn how to do it, hopefully these tips will help out.

I am a huge fan of using blocks when practicing yoga. They are often used by beginners and those with injuries to help them modify certain postures, but they are also used by experienced and flexible yogis as tools to get deeper into poses.
Blocks come in many shapes, sizes, and they can be made out of many different materials including cork, foam and bamboo. If you're not sure where to begin, get a 4 inch yoga block and start with that. Once you learn ways to use it, you can figure out of you need to add more blocks to your home studio.
Here's a basic list of the different kinds you can get.
Imagine this, you're hosting a fancy dinner party and you've brought out a nice bottle of wine to go along with it - only when you go to uncork it, the cork breaks and you're left with bits of cork in your wine. So what do you do? Do you pour the wine, apologize to everyone and have them fish out the bits? You could, but that seems a bit embarrassing. So here's a simple tip to help you avoid all of that: Just take a few layers of cheesecloth or a coffee filter and secure it around the top of the bottle with a rubber band. Now you can pour the wine and any bits of cork will get left behind. Cheers!
