Tokyo CultuArt by Beams helps to brighten up this dull aspect of life especially for people who are attached to these dull appendages for a longer time frame. This exhibition helps transform medical treatment and limb supports into artwork and fashionable products. This gives the users to pick a product that appeals to them after all its something they depend on day in and day out and hence there shouldn’t be room for any more depressing colors.

Plant lovers rejoice! As, now your plants will not suffer in your absence even in summer. Now you can plant your little green babies in an InVaso. A self-watering sponge vase created by industrial designer Stefano Claudio Bison, this pot is made from the same kind of porous sponge that we use to clean our homes. The InVaso doesn’t just contain your favorite plant, but also holds water that the plant needs to survive. Thus, these sponge pots absorb and hold onto as much moisture as possible every time they are watered. So, even if you are not at home to water your plants, they will not get affected by heat. While you can put your plant in an attractive looking Hello Kitty Chia Pet, or Sprout Bookmark, the new InVaso self-watering sponge is an ideal way to keep your plants alive.

The good old Pitcher that you keep lying around on your dining table is no longer just a simple vessel. As we have seen with the Artland Sedona Glass Pitcher, it can be so much more. Along the same lines as that one, we bring to you the Flavor-it 3-in-1 Beverage System. Not to be confused with any old pitcher; this cool contraption is a beverage “system”. Firstly, it can be used as a way to infuse your cold beverages with the flavor of fruit, herbs, or spices. All you have to do is fill the infusion chamber with the ingredients, and fill up the rest of the pitcher with the beverage itself. Simple! Secondly, you can swap out the infusion chamber with the tea infuser attachment, which allows you to brew loose tea or ground coffee easily without having to stand over a stove. It works equally well with both cold and hot mixtures. Finally, it also includes a chill core attachment filled with a nontoxic gel. This gel allows you to freeze your drinks and keep beverages cold without diluting the flavor. So that’s 3 different inserts in all – one each for chilling, infusing, and steeping.

Unicorns are imaginary, mythical creatures and so are their farts!!! Why are we discussing unicorn farts? That’s cause we have just come across unicorn farts lip balm and unfortunately for us this isn’t imaginary, only the taste is for obvious reasons.

The lip balm contains the goodness of natural beeswax, unrefined cocoa butter, unrefined shea butter, jojoba, sweet almond, and grape seed oils, vitamin E, and flavor oil. Someone who loved the outrageous unicorn Eyelash Jewelry is feeling exhilarated on reading this.

Spring is right on our door, which means it’s time to take out that vaccum and jump start the cleaning. However, Robot Vacuum Cleaners are to the rescue, which saves time, and energy! Following the legacy of the residing vacuum cleaners like Samsung’s Smart Tango Corner Clean, iRobot Roomba and Sharp Cocorobo, Neato has unveiled its automatic cleaning series, the Neato XV Signature Robot Vacuum Cleaners. The new range consists of Neato XV Signature and Neato XV Signature Pro. With a unique square front and low profile design, these vacuum cleaners remove the slightest dust from underneath furniture and close to corners and walls. Both of the robotic vacuums are designed for automated vacuuming on a set schedule or when needed. They both use laser-mapping technology to avoid obstacles such as furniture and stairs. The high-powered vacuum picks up dirt, debris, pet hair, dander, and microscopic fibers. The vacuum will work on carpet, wood, tile, and rugs even if those rugs have fringe. The difference between the two models appears to be that the Pro has a combination brush and a blade brush for superior cleaning on multiple surface types.

By now we are pretty used to seeing everyone’s favorite cat, Hello Kitty, plastered on everything from restaurants to airplanes. The people over in Taiwan decided that it was time for a change. Who doesn’t love the adorable Moe girls? If Hello Kitty and Pokemon can lend their talent to transportation services, these girls can’t be left too far behind. Taiwan is introducing a whole bunch of transportation with updated dining cars featuring Moe girl characters. These dining cars, also called “Miss Taiwan Railway”, are more like “itasha” rather than public transportation. The Taiwanese government hopes that these trains will succeed in promoting tourism to Taiwan. These Moe girl themed trains are already catching the imagination of the public. When surveyed, many people in Japan commented that they want to visit Taiwan to ride the updated trains. In fact, the Japan Railway Federation has already announced their acquisition of a license to manufacture and distribute Miss Taiwan Railway goods in Japan.
