Thanks to my ex-boyfriend....

Noting to wear and some time left to get dressed in the morning? This might be something to try. All you need is:
                      - An ex-boyfriend who left some blouses at your house.
                      - Some patience.
                      - Some creativity.
You can knot up your own, one of a kind couture dress. Just watch this movie and try it yourself! I’m going to!

Nike makes it count…

After a few weeks of teasing us on Twitter, Nike finally presents the FuelBand. This band counts every step you take and every move you make. With all this counting the FuelBand can tell you how many calories you’ve been burning with your movements. And the last thing the FuelBand will tell you is how many NikeFuel you’ve earned. This will be showed on the band and everyone around you can see that to. The lights in the band will turn red if you didn’t make your goal and it will turn green if you did make it. Lance Armstrong was closely involved with the making of the FuelBand. He’s spoken his believe in the FuelBand, he believes that this band will challenge people to move more.

Take what you need...

What do we need in life? Do we need love, hope, faith, patience, courage, understanding, peace, passion, healing, strength, beauty, freedom or what ever? What will make us happy? And how do we get what we need? First it is not easy to understand what you need. And than we need to get it somewhere. But where? This is something that would take care of all the needs we have.
What would you take? What do you need?

See, feel, smell and taste Djoser

 A fieldtrip to the 'Vakantie beurs 2012', in Utrecht. A lot of people and a lot of travel deals. Not the best thing to go to if you don't have any money for a travel deal yourself... But it's a good place to see some action going on in the world of traveling.
The 'Vakantie beurs' is such a gigantic place, with so many stands to go to. You have to do a good job to make the people come to you.
I think Djoser did a very good job. Djoser made a real magical world in wich you were able to see, feel, smell and taste the magical places that they can send you to. The use the trend Experience Economie very good and their stand was a real experience. When I walked trough it, the only thing that I was thinking was, I want to go to this place and Djoser will send me!

Ballpoint art...

I almost didn't believe it when I saw it... Do you? These pretty art pieces are made with an ordinary ballpoint! They are made by Shane McAdams. Also artists have to watch their money because of the crisis. So this is a cheap way to make art. I love it! It's so nice to see that you can make something beautiful with only an ballpoint. Everyone has a ballpoint on them all the time. So try it yourself...

Use it smart and slow, you'll see it grow....

These days everyone has one. A smartphone. We can't live without them. Sometimes it dominates our whole world. More and more people see the dark side of the smartphone use. They want to go back to the times that we had time and eyes for the world around us instead of the world in our smartphone.
Samuel Wilkinson is one of them. That's the reason that he created this flora terrarium that can be contolled trough your smartphone or tablet. You could compare it to a living Tamagotchi. You can control the Biome's climate, water level and nutrients.
According to the designer, “the idea promotes ‘digital downtime’ by finding an alternative use for smartphones and encouraging their owners to consider a slower life. The control and nurturing of a real mini eco-system takes patience and care, contrasting with the immediacy of messaging or tweeting that is so characteristic of the smartphone generation.”
A beautiful tought in these smartphone times!

Thank you Aztecs...

2012 the year that the world will end. If we have to believe the Aztecs. The Aztec calendar ends in december 2012.... So we have only 12 months more to go. Many people are fearful and possibly hate the Aztecs for this! But instead of fear and hate these Aztecs you can also get inspired by them. Aztecs were very smart and bright! So we can learn a lot of them. Like their fashion style! Believe it or not, but the fashion world of today gets inspired by the Aztecs. You will find their colourful patterns in clothes, accessoires and nails! Not only the colours will make you happy, but also the cute movie!
Watch it and do it yourself!
Thank you Aztecs!

The old type...

Let's go back in the days. Those days without laptops and Ipads. Those days that we had to type our stories on a typewriter... Our love letters didn't roll out off a printer and we didn't had a backspace button so if your finger slipped on a wrong letter, you had to start all over again... I'm glad that those days are gone, but sometime I miss the sound of it! There are more people who miss this and who miss the old and more romantic way of making stories!
This typewriter can let you make the choice. Plug it in your laptop or Ipad, or use it like the old days!
It makes me happy!

The blue, blue sky...

The sky is blue. No the sky is not only blue. The sky is all the colours you can imagine! The sky is not only sky, but it's Mother Nature making art! Beautiful and breathtaking. You only have to open your eyes and click some pictures. Anyone can do this! You don't need a laptop or other stuff. These skies are just beautiful the way they are! So it's clear, we have to help Mother Nature and make sure that she can do her beautiful work, without being disturbed!
