Outdoor Living: Patio Loungers

May 6, 2013 | Leave a Reply

Reading books and taking naps under the sunshine on my balcony is one of my favourite spring/summer past times. I usually set up a foldable portable lounger that I bought at Ikea years ago. It’s fine enough but I feel like it might be about time I upgrade to a real lounger.

20 Below: Natural Cleaning Bottle

April 30, 2013 | 1 Commentary

Spring is (almost) here. Time to get a-cleaning!

cleaning bottle, $12.66, Crate & Barrel

I like this concept of a cleaning bottle. It comes with a recipe book of natural cleaning solutions. The all-in-one bottle has a built-in lemon juicer which not only looks cool but probably serves its purpose quite well. What do you think? What are your own favourite cleaning products?

Marketplace: Bloom Theory Camera Straps

Now that I have a new awesome camera, I feel I might need a very cool camera strap to go with it. These straps by Bloom Theory look amazingly well-designed and beautifully executed. Too bad their price tags put them out of my reach (for now anyway…I’m going to keep my eye on them!).
