Song of the day

Katie Melua has the best voice.

Miam Cushions

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.

Talk to Dove before it's too late!

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.

Pixel couch

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? :)

How about modular carpet tiles?

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.

Bags to go

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

Stop and smell the spring

This is one of those pictures I know I'll always remember. The idea is simple: it's meant to simply brighten your day.
