nice things, nice people,
Not everyone sleeps the same way. Some prefer to lay on their side or back, and others snooze on their stomach. Whatever position you sleep in, it’s normally in a horizontal line, but that doesn’t work for everyone. If you would prefer to sleep at an incline, you’ll need to either have an army of pillows, or a way to raise the head of your bed.
There are times when you feel proud to be a member of our crazy, chaotic, insane civilization, and often these periods result from discovering that people are capable of kindness for no reason at all, other than it feels right. It kind of restores your faith in humanity and demonstrates that it’s not all ugly out there.
There are certain mechanisms in our body that we don’t really pay attention to. One such is the amount of oxygen in our blood. If we don’t have the right amount of oxygen saturation, it can be Bad News Bears. Thankfully, we don’t really have to worry about this too often, as it’s mainly mountain climbers and pilots who would have to worry about it. If you should fall into either of those categories though, you’ll be pleased to know…
We don’t really have much use for wearing chainmail anymore. Long ago it protected great warriors against oncoming attacks, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. Today, this sort of protection is usually only worn for reenactments and LARPing. It has an attractive property to it though, and could be made as a jewelry of sorts. What about making it into a pair of shoes?
When it’s dreadful and chilly outside, all you want to do is hunker down and be warm. Doing this will likely include a multitude of blankets, a fireplace (or space heater), and a warm beverage. Hot chocolate is a tried and true drink of choice for this season, and there are a variety of ways to go about making it. Mixes for hot chocolate are great and all, but they always end up grainy at the bottom of the cup.
When it comes to purchasing a new car, you know that you’re going to drop a good hunk of money. Of course, that’s just the beginning as you’ll have to keep putting in gas, oil, and keep up with general maintenance. If you like to make your mode of transportation a bit more manual, then you’ll want space to store whatever you’re carrying, as you won’t have a trunk in the back.
Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without coffee? If you are an avid coffee drinker, then there’s a chance you’ve had that nightmare before. Planes crashing out of the sky, the stock market crumbling, and…well, you get the drift. While our world might not change that drastically, we would sorely miss our favorite brown beverage. If you’re always on the lookout for new ways to brew, then then there’s an interesting combo that you might just…
When you’re riding a bike, you need to make sure that you can hear what’s going on around you. Many people like to listen to music while they’re pedaling along, which is fine and dandy, so long as you’re not blocking out all exterior sound. There are enough distractions out there as is, and trying to answer your phone, or change tracks on a song could quickly become a life or death situation.
Many pet owners worry about their dogs gobbling down their food. In larger dogs, this can lead to bloat, an often fatal condition.Green by Northmate helps dogs eat slower while giving them some challenging fun too. Green’s 43 “blades”, designed to simulate grass tufts, are safe plastic that challenge dogs to get a proper grip on their food, providing entertainment as well as promoting slower, healthier eating. Designed for dogs of all sizes and breeds, this fun “food dish” is…
Snow is a beautiful blanket that covers the ground. However, just a few degrees off and all of a sudden you’re stuck with a covering of ice, which is thoroughly less enjoyable. Snow can be brushed off of your car in minutes, but ice has to be chipped, scraped, and broken off. We all have our tools of preference for these situations, but is there one scraper to rule them all?
We love listening to music wherever we are. In the shower, while driving, or at the pool, we want to jam out to tunes. It makes sense then, that we have portable speakers with us that are better quality than just what’s on our phone.
There are a ton of reasons we tell ourselves we’re not going to workout. Not feeling well, not having enough time, or not having the right equipment. If you have joint problems, then you’re likely going to want to do low-impact workout sessions. Should you be in search of equipment that will help you reach your goals, then an elliptical trainer is likely ideal. The only problem is how big those things are.
There are some things that people are wildly passionate about. It can be art, stamp collecting, traveling, or pretty much anything. However, few things move you the way music can. Some people are so ecstatic about their favorite tunes that they never want to go a day or minute without hearing a melody. There are those who also believe that music shouldn’t just be a part of life, but beyond.
Toast is a special kind of food that can be the epitome of a breakfast, or the sign of a bad day just starting to unfold. Getting burnt toast makes the morning ritual take longer, and means that you’ve wasted food if it has passed a point of no return. If only you could see your toast becoming delicious from the side instead of peering down over top of it, maybe then you would never again have to deal with…
Extension cords are necessities of life, particularly with all the electronic gadgets we keep acquiring. But cords notoriously unattractive and too often get underfoot. The Flexy CordT takes extension cords to a new dimension. This cool new extension cord is reminiscent of an ever-popular toy – the slinky. With its tangle-and kink-proof ability, the Flexy CordT operates on “memory”, always returning to its original retracted length. It comes in four different lengths: 4 inches (extends to 8 feet), 5 inches…
