Spare Guest Slippers

If I ever get to meet Martha Stewart, the first thing that I'm going to ask her is if she really has a basket full of clean, unused slippers for guests to use upon arrival into her probably-beautifully warm home BECAUSE THIS IS THE KINDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD OF.

Sidenote: I'm always annoyed when I see people wearing outdoor shoes in their own home. I used to think it was just a thing that actors did on television shows, but apparently it's RAMPANT behaviour if you live in the States. Why the hell would anyone be comfortable doing this? You're in a home that you own (or rent) and you want to walk around like you're an unwelcome stranger? How does that make any sense? Relax! Take your damn shoes off! Bask in home comfort! 

Anyway, this is the nicest idea in the world. I have a pair of (dollar store) slippers in my closet that I just bought for the next person who stays at our house, but I literally DREAM of the day when I can buy numerous pairs (in varying sizes!) of some kind of money-brand like Bed, Bath & Beyond slippers or something and display them in a beautiful basket by the front door. And chances are - you make a lot more money than me, so you should probably get on this NOW. So f-ing nice. 

(Are Bed, Bath & Beyond slippers even high quality? Probably not. How the hell would I know that, though? I'm not in the income bracket that allows you to know where to purchase lofty slips! I will be one day, though. And that's gonna be sweet as hell.)

The Simpsons Photo Every Day Parody

This video is probably in my top three of favourite Simpsons moments and I'm shocked that I haven't posted it already.

I know that it's a parody, but sometimes remakes are better than the original (Vanilla Sky!). And I understand that parts of this are supposed to come across as funny, but I swear to you I get teary at the part where his dad (Abe) stands by the window after his wife leaves him. (I know what you're thinking - that it's impossible to get teary that fast (it happens in the span of maybe a split second), but I swear I'm telling you the truth. Play this for video for me the next time I see you if you want proof!) 

The fact that Abe's wife leaves him, devastates him to the point of excessive drinking and ultimately becoming a terrible father, thus raising an alcoholic son?! Are you kidding me?! Do you see the levels here?! I know it's a fucking comedic cartoon, but c'mon, you gotta give it to me here. I love this show more than I know what to do with sometimes. I really do. 

Snow Day

There are only three things I want to do on snow days.

1. Make snow ice cream.
2. Be in it with someone I love.
3. Watch Simpsons snow-centric episodes continuously all day. I'll never really understand why those are my some of the most memorable Simpsons episodes, but they're so beautifully drawn and perfect looking. (My favourite is probably Skinner's Sense of Snow.)

The absolute best part of a snow day? They're not just for kids. Do you have any idea how great that is? That it can just be everyone's day off? Please try to make the most of your next snow day. Look at how much fun you can have, dammit.

Idea of the Day

Maybe I have too much scarf advice, maybe not - but this idea's a great one. Put shower rings on a hanger to hold all of your scarves!

(Maybe that didn't need an exclamation mark, maybe it did, it's hard to say.)

John Denver

John Denver was all I heard growing up in my house and I'll forever love this song.

Rowing Machine

Ram & Row created this gorgeous piece of living room furniture that morphs into a rowing machine. It was designed by Patrick Saint-Martin and runs for - well, probably a ridiculous amount of money since they don't list a price. 

SUCH a great idea, however.
