...I'm a big fan of sheepses? Yeah, that's right, sheepses, not sheep. Sheepses is the "affective plural" for sheep and it's also the name of an online t-shirt store [www.sheepses.ro].
The best thing about Sheepses is that you can personalize your own t-shirt if you don't like to dress like all the other sheep in the herd. I've got three t-shirts and I love them. :)
I mean, mouse and VoIP telephone. Two in one, from Sony.
VAIO Mouse Talk, an optical mouse that doubles as a fully-functional Internet phone. Intereseting choice of gadgets to combine, but I like my mouse to be just what it is: a mouse.
It can be used for Internet phone calls - made with Skype, for example. :)
What'a a keyboard without keys? It's a cool, flat surface keyboard!
If you like beer, you'll probably love the beer syringe. It's made of "FDA approved materials with a friction-fit mouthpiece that enables easy filling and cleaning without causing a mess".
What is Karakiri?
Well, it would probably be mean to say it's just a pillow, because it's not. It's like your favorite pet but it is not messy at all. It's actually the friendliest looking pillow-or-something-like-that I've ever seen. Karakiri comes in the color and size of your choice. That's pretty cool!
And I'm sure you'll love Karakiri if you don't have someone's loving arms to hold you when you sleep. Plus, I hear it's perfect for pregnant women.
I want one!
Read more about it at www.karakiri.com or check out its adventures here.
At BonjourMonCoussin.com I've found these delicious pillows - or should I say cushions?. For €34 each, you can choose from the different themes available: Reclames, Vintage, Miam, Paris, Kids, Cash and so on.
I've selected some of my personal favourites, as usual, but there are 49 or so models.
I've just discovered that Unilever, the company that makes products like Dove, is involved in destroying rainforest to make ingredients for Dove soap and other popular products. I've written to Unilever to ask them to change, please do the same and help spread the word.

This is "old news", but still good news: some guy has created the Pixel couch which looks just about as good as a couch can look. I can't imagine something more coloful or joyful to relax in. Do you? :)
We use marble tiles for our floors, then why shouldn't we be able to use modular carpet tiles too?
Flor.com has plenty of designs to choose from, from solid colors to flowers or even cartoon characters. My favourites are, of course, the colorful flowers and stripes, but you will certainly find something to love on their website. And please don't take my word for this!
The price is $11,99 per tile and each carpet tile is 19.7" x 19.7" - that's 50 cm x 50 cm. The tiles are perfect for hotels since you can create any shape to cover rooms of different sizes.
To install the carpet tiles, you will need the sticky dots which connect the tiles with each other, without sticking them to the floor.
So you always forget to carry a bag when you go shopping? Or, perhaps, you end up in a supermarket when you weren't supposed to be there?
It happens to me all the time. And even if I know that I'm about to find myself carrying lots of grocery, I still forget to carry a bag with me. Plus, word is that those plastic bags we get for free or buy at the supermarket will soon be history.
What to do, what to do?
How about carrying a bag that's so small, it won't give you a headache and will definitely look better than a plastic or paper bag?
For 12 bucks, Flip & Tumble can give you bags that... flip and tumble like a pair of socks. And, of course, they look really cool with all those colors. :D
This is one of those pictures I know I'll always remember. The idea is simple: it's meant to simply brighten your day.
Seen here.
Beastie Boys sang I like my sugar with coffee and cream in their first song, Intergalactic. I, too, like my sugar (!) with coffee and cream and am not a fan of the more healthy and natural honey. I don't really know why, I just don't like its taste.
But some people do like honey and they would certainly like to be able to carry some in a bag along with their favorite tea. Because it's sticky and messy, until now, this was almost impossible.
Well... until now! Canadian company Island Abbey Foods Ltd. has managed to create the 100% natural, solid honey drop. It's called Honibe (Pure Honey Joy), contains no additives, no sugar, nothing but honey and it is solid. All you have to do is drop it into a cup of hot beverage, stir until it's dissolved and then enjoy.
Honibe comes in boxes of 20 pieces and can be ordered for 12 bucks at honibe.com.
You gotta love these handmade [and also custom made] accessories!
I wanted something special for my special someone so I asked the nice people at Moo Bijoux to create a pendant with his alias/blog name. The result was perfect and he liked it too [he's wearing it so I can only assume he likes it].
Of course I needed to have one of those wonderful "toys" so I chose a very cute cow. Just browse accesorii.blogspot.com. There has to be something for you there, too.
I've always stated I love colors. All of them, either combined or individually. But some people seem to love colors even more. Some wear just the one favourite, perfect color that they love, while others surround themselves with all the colors of the rainbow--and beyond that.
New York Magazine has an article on five New-Yorkers--four of them designers--who only wear one color, every day of their lives. Now that's loyalty! Here's the story.
I especially like the "green story", but all of them are worth reading.
But, of course, there's more:
How much does one have to love colors to do this?
I hardly re-arrange my clothes in the closet... and sorting them by color would be almost impossible!
There's another picture of the "Rainbow bookshelf" here.
