Shower Shock Caffeinated Soap

Tired of waking up and having to wait for your morning java to brew? Are you one of those groggy early morning types that just needs that extra kick? Know any programmers who dont regularly bathe and need some special motivation? Introducing Shower Shock, the original and world's first caffeinated soap from ThinkGeek.

Shower Shock is an all vegetable based glycerine soap which does *not* contain any harsh ingredients like ethanol, diethanolamine, polyethylene glycol or cocyl isethionate. So it's a gently invigorating soap. Scented with peppermint oil and infused with caffeine anhydrous, each bar of Shower shock contains approximately 12 servings/showers per 4 ounce bar with 200 milligrams of caffeine per serving. No, we're not kidding and no you don't eat it. The caffeine is absorbed through the skin...

Shower Shock, which is currently available online, is scented with peppermint oil so you don't end up smelling like coffee. It's also infused with caffeine anhydrous and each bar of this soap contains approximately 12 servings/showers per 4 ounce bar with 200 milligrams of caffeine per serving. However, the manufacturers have warned that the soap is not recommended for pregnant women or children because of the caffeine content.

The caffeine in the 125-gram Shower Shock will last in your system for approximately four hours, the same as two cups of coffee. One bar of soap costs (US$6.99) which 10 bars cost (US $37.99)

Washup: Washing Machine & Toilet Integrated

I smiled when I first saw the above picture. I've always thought there should be a better way to benefit from used water coming out from washer machines.

"Washup" is a conceptual design by Sevin Coskun from Turkey integrating washing machine with toilet flush. It suggests a sustainable water consumption by storing the wasted water in toilette-flush tank and reuse it with flushing. Moreover, "Washup" brings a solution for the problem of location of washing machines in small bathrooms, overlapping washing machine usage space with toilette usage space.

"Washup" is fixed on wall upwards toilet, so that loading of clothes would be easier for the user without bending or crouching. A special interface including three semi-sphere control units & two flushing buttons is designed for a practical usage of the product. "Washup" is a green product offering solutions for the problems of standard washing machines.

Rosewood Mayakoba : Interior Design and Mexican Architecture in Harmony

Once in a while Furniture Fashion pays homage to outstanding architecture and interior design, and often we find the perfect combination of these elements is some of the most exotic luxury resorts around the world. The Rosewood Mayakoba is situated along a mile long strip of white Caribbean sand on the Riviera Maya and is the center of a 1,600 acre luxury resort enclave located south of Cancun and north of the seaside village of Playa del Carmen. The stunning interior and exterior pictures are what made this luxury resort 18th on Travel and Leisure's list of "World Best Awards" last year. After seeing the Rosewood Mayakoba I know I need a vacation! See more stunning pictures here.

Wall Panel Design Examples that Beautify a Home

Many of us would not consider a wall panel in the design of our home. Generally, we think of paint being the most popular and easiest option. A wall panel system can really energize a room and give it a unique dynamic. The great thing about decorating walls is that it does not take away from the furniture in the room. Walls only add to the overall appeal and thus, you can be a bit more bold. I found these examples to be great idea generators about the possibility in your home. There is a gallery of images available at the ModularArts website that creates a lot of ideas. Website: here.

Expandable Dining Table by Draenert - Poggenpohl adjustable table design

A fantastically innovative concept is presented with the Poggenpohl adjustable table design, an expandable dining table from Draenert. Unlike other expandable dining tables, which tend to offer standard flaps on either side, the Poggenpohl pulls apart from the middle! This feature greatly increases the surface area of the table whilst also providing a view of interesting design elements, and can be achieved manually or by an optional whisper-quiet motor. The multiple-purpose area revealed in the middle of the table can incorporate stainless steel plates, a cutlery box or a cutting board, according to your needs. Another seriously smart feature: the coordinating steel and wood trolley also exactly fits into the gaps between the two sides. So, this means a trolley can be wheeled out from the kitchen bearing a load of food, a vase of flowers, or perhaps a champagne cooler and then neatly slotted into the Poggenpohl table with no further ado. Made of natural stone or MDF veneer, this useful adjustable table design is by Draenert.
