I love DIY and I love tinkering with stuff, if you have the same problem Instructables might be the site for you. They teach you how to make cool DIY projects like the Magnetic Rubik’s Dice Cube, not very useful, but you just got to love it, don’t you? Well, I do!
If you are into more useful DIY, then maybe this is more to your liking: 100 Things you can make yourself is a list of….well, you’ve guessed it, a list of 100 things you can make yourself. The list includes things ranging from extremely useful to downright silly, but you’ve to admit that some of them might come in handy one day. Not sure when I am ever going to build an igloo though :-)Oh, and here is tip 101: Repair your hair with olive oil. Is your hair overprocessed, brittle or frizzy? Here is an easy and cheap cure. Rinse your hair with warm water. Warm one tablespoon of olive oil between the palms of your hands. (If you want you can put a few drops of essential oils in it, so it smells nicer - note: mix the oils before applying). Using your fingertips (no nails), gently massage the oil into your scalp in a circular motion. Next get another tablespoon full of oil, warm it and apply it on the rest of your hair. Place a plastic bag over your hair (if you don’t have one, use an old towel) and secure it by tying or with a hair clip. Leave it like that for 30 minutes (or more if you want). When you are done, rinse your hair well and shampoo as usual.
Not really DIY, unless you’re pretty skilful and looking for a cool and eco-friendly little hideaway? Then look no further because Eco Hab must be your thing! I came across this on treehugger and fell in love with it instantly. It’s not big, but boy it is CUTE!
Even smaller and not really suitable for humans, but still cute, is this USB powered greenhouse. The greenhouse comes with a starter pack with Marigold seeds and artificial soil to get you started! Simply plant the seeds, add water and plug the Greenhouse to any USB port! Computer interface monitors growth rate, and includes calendar, watering reminder, wallpaper and bookmark settings
And just in case you are looking for something even smaller, how about a Windows recycle bin now on sale on ebay. At least this buy won’t take up much space IRL, that’s for sure.If you want it, you must hurry, the bidding ends August, 25.
And now for something completely different: Tadaaaaa…….The World’s strangest laws.
Did you know that in the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, even, if she so requests, in a policeman’s helmet. Or that it's illegal in France to name a pig Napoleon? Alex Wade celebrates the spirit of the silly season with a list
of the world's most ludicrous laws. Just remember people........................If that didn’t make you smile, maybe this video will

I can't keep up with your prolific blogging Dakota! Good work.
Well, I am trying to enjoy the sunny weather this weekend, so you have a bit of time to catch up, Andre.
And thanks for expanding my vocabulary with the word: prolific :-)
Speaking of do-it-yourself igloos, when Nick and I stayed at his bandmate's house in British Columbia, they had a foster kid staying with them. The kid built an igloo in their front yard. It had a chimney and he even made a fire in it and smoke was coming out of the chimney. It was pretty impressive. :)
Wow, that sounds so cool, Krissa!
I hope you’re paying attention while he was building it, because you’ll never know if we are ever going to need an igloo-building-expert, with the climate changes and all :-)
Tee hee, the poor giraffe.
