The Rock Alarm Clock

Dwayne Johnson made a motivational alarm clock app and it's called The Rock Clock. It "doesn't have a wimpy snooze button," but has messages from The Rock himself to help get you out of bed in the morning. You can also sync your alarm to his sleeping schedule if you like waking up at 4am.

Wedding Dress Frame

I think everyone I know who's gotten married keeps their wedding dress in the same place - nestled in a high quality dry cleaning bag in the back of her closet. What the hell else are you supposed to do with it? 

Here's an idea. THIS. DO THIS.

If this isn't the most perfect way to display it, then I don't know what is. Especially if you paid a ton for yours. 

God, I love this idea. 

Tip of the Day - Kiwis

Cut kiwis in half for a built-in bowl!

Cupcake Genius

I stumbled across this idea online and WHO CAN I THANK FOR THIS REVELATION? 

Gaze

Ummmm, this is great, right? Yes, yes it is! Especially because of the fact that I'm constantly telling people what to watch and episodes of things that are great - and I always want to be sitting beside them to see if they're actually enjoying it. Saying, that out loud makes it seem abnormal, I realize. I just love watching shows/movies I love with friends! Or forcing them to sit in one spot and soak up whatever hilarity I'm placing upon their eyes. Either way.

Such a great idea! 

IKEA's New Sit/Stand Desk

A few months ago, Nathan read an article in Time that he kept mentioning to me - it was about how we all need to stand more and sit less. Anyway, it made some valid points. And while I'm sitting as I type this, I do think we might all be able to benefit from products/ideas like this one below.

Idea of the Day - Reward & Gift Cards

Sometimes people come up with genius ideas. This is one of them. 

Punch a hole in all of your gift and rewards cards and keep them on one key ring to save space in your wallet. Bonus Tip: alphabetize them so they're easier to find. Bonus, Bonus Liz Tip: write down any expiration dates (if there are any) on your calendar (or "phone agenda", Marla) so you don't get screwed over.

I guess this idea would only work well if you're a woman and you can carry this key ring around in your purse? I don't know a man who'd want this beast amongst his precious keys. Do men even use reward cards? Is that a sexist thought? I really don't think they do. I've signed my boyfriend up for at least four different cards and I'm pretty sure each one is passively mourning their fate at various garbage dumps.

I heard this tip from the site Cooking at Cafe D, so obviously their page is now in my bookmarks. Also, to the people who are about to message me and go, "Hey, there's an app for that" - don't get smart with me. I'll cut you.

Old Navy Has a (Free) Flip Flop Vending Machine

Old Navy has these flip flop vending machines all around the New York City this summer - why? Who knows. But it's a fantastic idea for women who get sick of wearing heels over the course of a long day and want some solace. You can follow them on Twitter to find the locations - all you have to do to get a free pair is to tweet at them. Fun idea. Even when this promotion is done, can someone please get started on having machines like this available near every club and bar in the city? 

Orajel for Mosquito Bites

I think about this tweet maybe... once a week. Just love it.

View fullsize

Anyway, Pinterest/Buzzfeed/Tumblr have all been telling me for years to put Orajel onto my mosquito bites to make them stop itching. I finally tried it and - fuck. I've never found anything else that works like this stuff. Literally in a matter of seconds. I think it has something to do with the numbing ingredient in it - I don't know, let's not get technical. PLEASE carry this with you wherever there are mosquitoes looming near. This stuff is goddam magic.
