    Blast From The Past: Jellies Make A Comeback!

    Jellies are as endemic to summer as ice cream truck jingles, kickball, and sparklers at twilight. For so many of us, the bright colors and strappy designs of this childhood staple were an early way to make a fashion statement, as well as a reason to beg to be allowed to wear nail polish (or sneak it when your parents weren't looking). We left them somewhere between 5th and 6th grade, when Keds or more grown-up leather sandals took over and jellies were relegated to either younger siblings or the "outgrown" bin. And, like going from lowly camper to bonafide junior counselor, you never really looked back. At least, that is, until recent years when a passion for all things retro and simple has come surging back and your favorite rubber footies have been reinterpreted by fashion favorites from on-high (Givenchy, Jimmy Choo) to the more affordable (Asos). Check out the slideshow to see if they can entice you once again!

    LEGOs have been a staple childhood toy for so many generations and they always bring back nostalgic and happy memories for me. What else gives me happiness? Dessert. Now there is a way to combine the two for ultimate fun-time ecstasy with the LEGO Cake/ Jelly mould. Use them like any other cake pan and build cool creations for parties or potlucks! Each mould allows you to make six individual cake treats for a fun and unique portable dessert, or make a few batches and let your creativity go! Make a simple LEGO cake fort, or build an entire castle (just make sure there are friends around to help you eat it)! Add food coloring to the batter to make then look even more like gigantic LEGOs and you, your friends and your kids can all have a delicious and innovative dessert time from your very own kitchen. These moulds are microwave and oven safe and you can use them again and again for only $14.99. The possibilities are truly endless, just like actual LEGOs, and you can take you cake and jelly creations as far as your imagination will take you! Adorn finished desserts with the actual tiny LEGO men-- just be careful not to eat them!


    Price: $14.99
    Who Found It: idabone was first to add the LEGO Cake/Jelly Mould to the Hive.

    Beauty Buzz: Work Those Toes

    I'm sure you guys have heard about YogaToes, and if you're like me, you've probably been wondering "what the€¦..?" I've had this strange fascination with them where they make me simultaneously scared and curious, wondering what are these strange jelly-like contraptions that look like they should be used for a pedicure? So I ordered myself a pair to see what they were all about. The idea is that it's like exercise for your toes so you prevent situations like hammertoes and bunions. No, I don't have either, but I do find myself in stiletto heels more often than not and thought a little exercise for my footsies couldn't hurt. The verdict: they are fabulous! They work your toes so they just end up looking healthier, just like they say, exercise for your toes, except you don't have to do anything! Anyone else use them? If so, let me know in comments!
