Everyone loves a good summer. The smell of freshly cut grass, the fact that everyone moans about getting sunburnt but secretly likes it, and of course, the privilege of being able to garden away to the heart’s content. Well who says summer has to end? At least when it comes to the gardening bit. Yep, bursting on to the scene is a new food invention from the mind of Jim Ruck which goes by the rather snazzy name Breathe.
Every year around the holidays, we are warned not to share our yummy
meals with our pets. They can get very sick from eating our rich food,
and really we should not feed them from the table anyway. But there is
at least one pet food company known for making high quality pet foods,
that has whipped up a couple of special Thanksgiving meals for our dogs
and cats – even those that are on grain free diets.
There’s something very personal about receiving a plant. And if you
receive a plant in winter, when all outside is stagnant or frozen, it’s
really special. I was browsing Uncommon Goods the other day and found a
range of really creative indoor planting schemes for unique gifts.
They have dozens, but here are five of my faves….
Serving delicious roti fresh and warm at dinner time takes hours of tedious work,
performed mostly by women, in India, Pakistan, and many other south Asian and African countries
every day. So, it’s no surprise that inventor Pranoti Nagarkar believes
that the impact of her Rotimatic roti maker will be on a par with the vacuum
cleaner, the washing machine, and the contraceptive pill in terms of providing freedom for women!
Ever had a personal trainer? Their constant nagging, their crazy routines, and more importantly, their insanely insane prices. Well, whilst HapiLabs’ sole aim is not to put personal trainers out of business and force them to go home and tell their wives/husbands why this year’s christmas tree won’t be as big as the year before, the HapiTrack device certainly gives more power to the world’s trainer-less population.
ITALCEMENTI, ALESSI and LPWK Design Studio have partnered up to find a
designer who can take their innovative mortar mixture and create a
brilliant centerpiece with it to become a mass produced product!
Some enjoy the nip in the air, others enjoy visiting with friends, the
parties, the gifts…. I’ll be honest. What I enjoy most about the
holidays is the food – especially turkey! So I did flips when I found
out there is a way to improve on my favorite cooking method, fried turkey. A rotisserie! Right, a rotisserie in a fryer! Whoa!
Dog theft has been on the rise for the last several years in the U.S,
with an estimated 2 million dogs being stolen in 2012. But a company
with the slogan, "You lock your bike, why not your beagle?" is promoting
its new Safespot Locking Leash and Collar, so maybe there won’t be more dog thefts than bike thefts!
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Nintendo Entertainment System and the 25th of the Sega Mega Drive. To celebrate the occasion, the folks at Topps Tiles have let their inner geek shine through. They’ve unleashed a whole host of awesome, retro-themed video game tile designs, ideal for bathroom or kitchen.
The history of the toilet is inextricably tied to the history of
humanity itself. A basic function of survival, excreting is a body
function that simultaneously relaxes and repels the voider. Through
many years of employment, the toilet has evolved, but the purpose of it
has remained the same.
