This Memo Pad Reveals Architectural Sculptures As You Use It
Prepare to have your sloppy childhood attempts at stick figure flip book animation completely blown out of the water. Japanese company Triad is the creator of Omoshiro Blocks (“fun blocks”), memo pads that slowly reveal an architectural treasure with the removal of each page. This is easily the most creative path to note-taking we’ve come across since designer Kim Ji-eun fashioned a memo pad out a toilet paper roll.

IKEA Wants To Save Your Relationship by Teaching You to Sleep the Swedish Way
Sharing a bed with your partner can be cozy, intimate and also completely terrible. If you run at different temperatures or even sleep in wildly different positions, the nightly battle for comforter real estate can feel like a war that may never end. Luckily, IKEA (maybe you’ve heard of it?) is bringing a peacekeeping Swedish sleeping method to other countries. IKEA’s new “TOG-ether bundle” is coming to save your sleep situation.

Yes, Even Will and Kate Have IKEA Furniture
Though by definition, royals are not like us, they are in fact human, and can also be swayed by siren call of affordably priced Scandinavian furniture. Yes, today we have reports that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have some IKEA pieces taking up residency in Kensington Palace. William and Kate are currently on a Royal visit to Sweden and Norway, and in Stockholm today, they paid a visit to the ArkDes museum.

The Dumb New Teen Trend Involves Sleeping In Dressers At IKEA
We certainly are fans of IKEA around here. Affordably priced Swedish furniture is practically our love language, and bargain meatballs aren’t anything to sneeze at, either. But we draw the line at, you know, sneaking in and spending the night inside a dresser, which is what teens are now doing to gain YouTube fame. Mashable reported this week that an 11 year old boy in the UK didn’t make it home from school, triggering a frantic police search for him.

New Study Says NYC Has ‘Teflon’ Mice, And Here’s Why That’s Terrifying
Here is an entirely true story about my first week in my NYC studio. I was cleaning the kitchen (because I am a certified grown-up), and I got out the vacuum to get the nooks and crannies beneath the dishwasher and cabinets. Before moving in, I had gone a full year without experiencing more than a spider in my living quarters and I was not going to entice any new friends with crumbs from my Cheerio-based dinner. As I moved the vacuum under the stove, it caught something.

That’s why some parents are especially alarmed to know that starting May 1, oversized strollers as well as stroller wagons will be banned from Disney parks.
