The Uniform Project

The Uniform Project began in May 2009, by Sheena Matheiken, who has pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion. There are 7 identical dresses, one for each day of the week. Every day she will reinvent the dress with layers, accessories and all kinds of adornments, the majority of which will be vintage, hand-made, or hand-me-down goodies.

The Uniform Project is also a year-long fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that is revolutionizing education in India. At the end of the year, all contributions will go toward Akanksha’s School Project to fund uniforms and other educational expenses for slum children in India.

DIY Massage

Massage is hugely important for the human body to maintain optimum condition, but its not always an option when you can’t afford expensive therapist fees or time simply doesn’t allow it. Step in new Tisserand Massage Oils which are the next best things for a tired or stressed out body. With organic ingredients and essential oils, which you can more or less massage into your skin alone, this oil will perk you back up in no time. I personally like the Energising Revive, which is great pick-me-up at the end of the day before a night out.

ReBurbia

Dwell Magazine and Inhabitat.com have teamed up to create a design competition dedicated to re-envisioning the suburbs.

For all future-forward architects, urban designers, renegade planners and imaginative engineers: design how you would re-invent the suburbs!  Dwell & Inhabit want to see how you’d design future-proof spaces and systems using the suburban structures of the present, from small-scale retrofits to large-scale restoration—the wilder the better!
