In high school when I used to sleep in class, I would blow air into my sandwich bag, seal it, and then use it as a pillow. As lame as it may have been, it still worked.

Anyways, for those of you who want to sleep in style, I introduce to you the Pilo-Pilo Mini Cushion Ring. More »

One sure-fire way to impress for Sunday Brunch is to make mini-cakes. Or anything mini, really. You can get away with making cakelets or mini-cakes with Williams-Sonoma’s Gift Cakelet Pan. It’s basically a mold you use to form little cakes. Your friends don’t have to know — just tell them you’ve got super skilled hands. Or trained kitchen dwarves who specialize in making small cakes. Although, that might turn off some of your guests. Better to tell them you’re super skilled and mention nothing about the cakelet pan. More »

I rarely watch the news, I don’t tend to browse practical articles online, and the closest I come to a newspaper is when I’m peeling it off the taro at work– so when I discovered T-post, I was intrigued.

There’s nothing kawaii about Pocky. Skinny, dark-chocolate covered bread sticks. Big deal. Popteen’s Decopocky on the other hand…that’s a whole different kind of Pocky. For one, it’s entirely endorsed by teen magazine Popteen and Japan’s cutest female idols. It’s also 100% customizable and you can add your own pearls, hearts, ribbons and flowers — probably the same kind professional patisserie chefs use to make fancy cakes. Hence the name, ‘Decopocky.’ More »

There was this one time I had a band-aid on my arm while I was walking around in LA. When I peeled it off later that day, I had an embarrassing patch of pale white skin where it used to be– that, my friends, would be what you would call a “tantoo.” More »

Not only is there a Hello Kitty Party Magazine, there now exists a Hello Kitty Party game for Nintendo DS. I’ve recently myself become a Nintendo DS owner and it is with great confidence that I say that Nintendo DS, by itself, is already a party. I can’t imagine what playing Hello Kitty Party on DS would be like. More »

Violence is never the answer, but does this even count?

Remember when Dance Dance Revolution was all the rage? Well now it’s not, or so it seems, which is such a shame because it was actually a legit way to get some exercise. Anyways, for those of you who don’t use your dance pads anymore, you can actually convert them into handbags. More »

One thing nice about not being able to crochet to save my life is that there are thousands of other people out there who can, compensating for my ineptitude.

The UFO Cap Umbrella is a dual-purpose garment that keeps you dry, acting as a hood and an umbrella at the same time. The advantage of this design is that it has no handle, which leaves the hands free– allowing your child to fold it up and hide it as soon as they reach school before any of their classmates get a chance to see how stupid they look.

You know, as fascinated as I am by UFOs, I would never go as far as to put my kid in one. I think I’d make a good mother.

In a fit of madness, designer Helen Red Richards managed to produce one of the strangest mergings of technology and fashion I’ve ever seen. Combining the style and glam of the 1970s with old school GameBoys, she created several pairs of these funky shoes for a Nintendo campaign in 2001, which became a popular trend among the Japanese youth for awhile– or so they claim.

The snow appears to be melting this time of year, but for these two snowmen, the only thing keeping them together is love. At least when they melt away, all that remains is the heart. And the twigs. And whatever they have for eyes. Love should withstand all seasons, ya know? More »

I really do not know where jujulee finds time run an Etsy shop being a stay-at-home mom with four children, but she does. She makes really unique and cute silhouette rings for sale at reasonable prices that start under $10. They range in many different styles and are carved from acrylic. My particular favorites are the animal and insect ones due to the details they have in design. Check out jujulee’s Etsy shop for her other crafty designs. More »

At 7” high x 4” wide and 3 1/2 pounds, rest assured, this product is not a choking hazard– though that probably wouldn’t stop you from waking up and trying to eat it in the middle of the night.
