It’s a Newborn Geocache!

orangehipsters — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 17:31:47 +0000

I’ve been geocaching for a few years now. Managed to find them in all sorts of different countries, France, Germany, and Cuba included.

Quick lesson: Geocaches are small containers hidden all over the world, found by following GSP coordinates. The finder writes their name, date, and trades an item if there is enough room. More found here at Geocaching.com

A few weeks ago I put together a newborn geocache of my very own! It’s quite easy to make one, if you want to get in on the fun too!

I used magnets bought from the dollar store, black duck tape, and a mint tin from Starbucks.

After a bit of stretching, wrestling, and pulling the tape off me, I stuck the magnets and tin together.

Then it was just a matter of finding the right fence to hide it at. Near my apartment window, where I can watch people try to be stealthy, Perfect!

Geocaching can take you to places you’ve never been in your own neighborhood.

Summer Science Party

So my friend Steve, is the New Bill Nye the Science Guy, in my book! He just hosted one of the best parties I’ve ever been to. Of course there was beer and wine but best of all there was science and fire involved! First crystal growing…

Then he mixed some cabbage juice with different chemicals including baking soda, Alka-Seltzer, and vinegar.

What sweet Colors! Cowabunga! You can find a similar project here .

Then the kabang! Fire!

Fairy Tale Fashion

orangehipsters — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 05:13:50 +0000

There is nothing like a good story from a Golden Book to bring me back to my childhood. This reuse fashion creation, turning classic stories into a beautiful gown fit for a queen is an amazing idea! Designer Ryan Novelline brought this Fairy Tale to life, using discarded books and the golden spines to create a well fitted corset.

Earth Hour 2011, What were you busy with?

orangehipsters — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 04:49:44 +0000

It’s been only 3 years since Earth Hour became a global event! This event has so many headliners, it’s almost impossible to sit on the sidelines and watch everyone having fun. In cities all over the world they have turned off the lights and turned to simple delightful fun. From fire dancing and drumming, to more intimate settings featuring soft lit candles, there something for everyone to do during this hour. We partook in some competitive domino playing, a great way to spend an hour!

Check out the snazzy video WWF put together for this year.

Spring is here!

Well Spring is sort of here, being that it is the second day and outside is cold, wet, and snowy. To celebrate we heated up the BBQ and chowed down on some Delic steak slices, asparagus, and potato salad. I have hope that it will be sunny and warm soon!

I got to thinking about my growing options this year. The time to start vegs is now! So, I am reviewing my space options on my balcony. While surfing I came across this! And I love IT!

I found these on dornob.com photos done by Aurélien Arbet and Jérémie Egry

I just stumble upon this amazing and well put together website about our water usage as a life line and how our choices are changing our supply forever. It touches on the fishing industry, our over use of bottled water, and how we are effecting our future.

It uses a combination of beautiful photos, music, and videos to express this important message.

Teasing Spring with new Free People clothes

orangehipsters — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 04:50:24 +0000

I stumbled upon HonestlyWTF today for the first time. And what to my wondering eyes should appear? But photos of beautiful spring attire on far away beaches. Oh, to hear the wisps of the ocean waves, instead of the icy wind mixed with snow. So because I believe in sharing here is some images of an oasis that seems so far away during these winter months. These fabulous clothes are from Free People.

P.S. HonestlyWTF is my new favorite website. Oh stumbleupon.com you bring me so many cool things yet waste so much of my time.
