“reCOVER coat rack by teracrea is inspired by nature. The handle is made of beech wood, traditionally used for this type of tool. Some branches, however, have “grown up” here and there, to suggest a sort of archetypal tree, simple and geometrical. The end of “forking” can be placed in any flower pot. The umbrellas and raincoats hanging wet sgoccioleranno course, enabling the recovery and reuse of water.” (seen here: reCOVER)
Just perfect. Want want want.

I just read this tip from Real Simple’s site. And here’s something, they’re a magazine as well! Okay, none of you are gonna agree with the placement of that last exclamation point, but it’s warranted. WARRANTED. ‘Cause that’s amazing! That site’s the best, so I’m definitely adding that subscription to my Wishpot. Such good ideas in that guy.
If you ever find yourself:
…then what should you do? Let me tell you. Put whatever area is suffering under a woman’s breast because that’s the warmest place on a human body. The larger the breast the better.
Learned that in Girl Guides. Totally works too. Not 100% positive about the “larger breasts work better” part, but that just seems to make sense in my mind. One winter, this girl fell in a lake and our leader totally used this method and the girl was warm again almost instantaneously. Like, weirdly fast. Heated her right up.
“This is the applicator to use on walls with our patterned paint rollers to create a wallpaper look.”
Ummm, amazing. And sounds ridiculously hard to do right, but amazing nonetheless.

This back cover of a Smashing Pumpkins album will forever stand as the only tattoo I would ever want to get. Where would I want it? Full back. Like, full back. Of course it’ll never happen, since I don’t think I’d want it there for life. But if it’s ever possible to make your own fake tattoos, then this will be my pièce de résistance for approximately one week or so (or, you know, however long fake ones last).
Love, love, love this image so much.
“Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.”
I read this a few months ago and started sending it to all my friends with kids or those who were about to have kids - why? I don’t know, ‘cause when I see a baby staring at an iPad IT FREAKS ME THE HELL OUT, for some reason. It just shouldn’t… be. And it makes no sense whatsoever. I don’t care if there are games specifically AIMED at these children, no. Just no. Give them a fucking rattle or something. PLEASE.
“I will always silently and secretly laugh at all women over the age of 18 who wear bras with clear plastic straps. Don’t do it. Clear does not mean invisible. We can all see the straps. You look foolish.”
With the summer coming up (it’s barely spring, I know, calm down), there are many things that you need to prepare for. Not sure who this post is aimed at, but you might appreciate it if you’ve ever:
And I do not intend for this to only be read by women. Most men I know do nothing or very little to try and prevent blisters - why is this? No idea. It’s weird. Take care of that stuff, everyone.
Anyway, the solution to all of these problems? Rub deodorant on the area that’s being a bitch, ie. directly onto the area of where you would presume you would get a blister (because of ill-fitting shoes you own or because in the past you’ve noticed getting blisters after wearing certain shoes) or directly on the areas where your thighs touch. It will solve the problem.
It has something to do with the ingredients in deodorant that makes this work - something about the slipperiness of it, if you want me to get technical.
I’ve tried this before (all of last summer) and it felt wonderful to not have that be a constant issue. Oh! And one more thing, if you try this and decide that it’s working for you as well, it’s really good to invest in one of those travel-sized deodorants to have in your purse/bag. Why? Well, things get sweaty in the summer and sometimes you need to re-apply midway through your day. Kinda gross, but just being real with you.
The above photo is the current state of my closet today. If that doesn’t look marvelous to you, then don’t read on ‘cause you won’t care about any of what I’m going to say.
Colour coordination is wonderful. I only recently colour co-ordinated my closet and it has helped my daily life immensely. It saves me so much time when I’m trying to figure out what to wear, and it forces me to somehow have a cleaner room, if that makes any sense. Also, when you’re looking for something specific that you have in mind, you’ll find it way quicker if you’re using this method.
Also? Get a hanger for each individual item. Don’t pile on more than two or three or, God forbid, even four items of clothing onto one lone, pathetic little hanger. It’s depressing to do such things, especially when you can afford another goddam hanger. (And if you can’t? Whoa. Stop reading now and fix your life so that you can afford at least one hanger.) Plus, by doing this, you can always see what you have. I have a million things I never used to wear because I COULDN’T SEE THEM. And now? No more. I’m wearing all kinds of shit I’ve never worn in years and it’s fantastic. Also, invest in those hangers specifically made for skirts/pants. They’re wonderful. You are not better than them, they are better than you. And you feel like a full fledged adult when you have all this stuff taken care of.
Also, if you have those hangers that are slippery - put rubber bands around the ends of both sides so that if you have a dress or something silk hanging on it, the straps won’t slip right off. Like this. (This idea I got from the site Real Simple.)
