As if their incredible aluminum bottles weren’t enough, SIGG now offers these too good to be true Snack Boxes. Made out of the same aluminum as the bottles, the rubber seal and snap locks on these sardine-like containers keep everything fresh and leak free. Personally, I’d like to put them to work in my studio for storing small odds and ends!
Aaron Feaver is an obviously gifted photographer. The way he makes his work look so effortless and in the moment is proof enough of that.
I’m head over heels for his Oceanside series where he perfectly captures the hazy, hot days of summer.

Like I’ve mentioned before, I’m a freak of nature and don’t really like ice cream all that much. But I’d be willing to look the other way and try Häagen-Dazs five. It’s all natural with only five (heh) ingredients and some pretty eye-catching packaging. And the flavors looks like something I might be interested in: mint, ginger, coffee, vanilla bean, passion fruit, brown sugar and milk chocolate. Has anyone tried it out yet?
I love, love this. If not for any other reason, just as a reminder on those bad days that sneak up.
Aya Brackett has a mad knack for catching real life moments in the most beautiful ways.
Australian-made Karpati nail polishes are free from toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate which is great because they’re all unnecessary and potentially harmful chemicals.
But what I would buy this polish for is the bottle design alone. It’s super functional by slipping over two fingers, eliminating the need for a surface to set the bottle on. I’ve spilled more than my share of nail polish and ruined countless things in the process and this is such a simple, effective design solution. (Although it irks me that the image has dark red being painted onto orangey-red nails, which is odd and inconsistent… is that strange?)
Posted In beauty bag, grand design, packagingNovember 17, 2008 Amy Mortimer started her 365 Days project. One photograph a day for an entire year. And the results are really beautiful. I’m impressed with the level of dedication an undertaking such as this requires as well as the diversity in the photographs from day to day. Not to even mention the willingness to be transparent and show off your life in such a way. Beautiful.

Interactive art is the best! Loving this An Apple a Day letterpress poster from VikDesign. I’ve actually been eating an apple a day for a few months now and wondered about doing something cool with the stickers. Each day peel the little variety sticker off of your apple and affix to a square on the poster. Sort of makes healthy fun, no?
