The Last Piece Of Jewelry You Will Ever Need

Sophie LeonApril 19, 2012 //

I am often annoyed that in the year 2012 we still don’t have every day access to flying cars and teleportation devices. It is moments like this, when I find a genius product that is innovative and useful, that I regain my faith in the human race. The KLIK KLIK jewelry uses magnetic pieces to allow you to sculpt your own pieces! That means a simple kit can transform into hundreds of necklaces, bracelets, and rings! If a necklace isn’t the right length, adjust it!  If you feel like being bold, do it! Not very creative? Don’t worry they have suggestions for you. [$75, KLIK KLIK]

Amped to try some of this spring’s nail art trends? Get started with Sally Hansen’s nail art pen. This fine-tipped pen is as easy to use as a marker and opaque enough to only require a single coat. Play it safe with some easy yet colorful French tips, or go crazy with stripes, shapes, and patterns! Seriously, despite never having been artistically-inclined, even we found it just that easy to use. Now, which colors to stock up on… [$7.49, ULTA]

Cookies and milk are an American staple. So why has no one ever thought of this before? This mug makes serving up your favorite treat a one handed feat! Now you can have a free hand to command the remote, text your man, or play words with friends. Why stop at milk? Go wild and enjoy some tea and biscuits or coffee and biscotti. Hell, why not wine and cheese? The possibilities for drinks and their snack accompaniments are endless! [$22, Etsy]

Cupcakes Never Had It So Good

Everything is yummier in cute little cups. These genius silicone cups allow you to make tapas style servings of everything!  Start dreaming of muffins, crustless quiche, pot pie, and individual apple crumbles — or let your imagination run wild. Drooling yet?  No need to use butter, make a dozen, or scrub a pan. These puppies go right in the dishwasher. [$9.95, Crate & Barrel]

When I tell people, “I live with my boyfriend three days a week,” I often get two reactions. 

1. “That must be-um– challenging.” 

2. “That sounds ideal!”  

The first reaction often comes from a place of concern. How can you have a meaningful long term relationship when you only see each other three days a week?  You can’t possibly know what it’s like to have a real, full-time relationship. What is he doing the other four days of the week, hmmm?  Thoughts of infidelity run through their heads. How long could a relationship like this last? Keep reading »

At some point in time, “gamers” got a bad rap. Let’s stop stereotyping the “gamer” world as a place exclusively for basement dwelling social pariahs in dingy underwear who subsist on Hot Pockets microwaves with love by mom. Those of us — yes, women game too! — who play video games also enjoy socializing with friends (outdoors even!) during the daylight hours and have other hobbies besides completing the “Braaaaaaaaaaaaains!” mission in Borderlands. In fact, we even date!
