Going on holiday with your beloved pet – as much as it’s something most of us would love to do – is usually a no-go. Let’s face it, the hassle of getting them a doggy passport puts us off somewhat, as does the thought of putting them through the stress of getting on a plane and making the long-haul journey. Even if you’re not going abroad and you’re just planning on bringing them with you for a quick cross-country trip, the thought of them destroying the rented cottage or peeing all over the furniture is enough to leave them at home. But what if I told you your dog could…

September 28, the New Moon of September 2019 will culminate in the harmonious and diplomatic sign of Libra. This New Moon will be romantic, exciting and flexible.

The New Moon is in Libra, and as a sign of cardinal air, Libra’s energy is creative and mentally focused. Libra is perhaps the most zodiac-focused sign because it constantly strives for balance and diplomacy. This is largely because the beautiful Venus is its governing planet, making love, romance, beauty, and aesthetics important elements of major themes during the New Moon of September. The planet Venus…

A restaurant in West Hollywood will make history when it opens next month as the first in America to have cannabis on the menu.  Recreational marijuana was legalised in California in 2016 and since then the weed business has been developing to allow entrepreneurs to take advantage of the new law. Though it’s still illegal to smoke weed in public in California, the city of West Hollywood has come up with a new way to utilize recreational weed by creating a licensing process to allow cannabis restaurants. Lowell Cafe, set to open on October 1, will be the first of these establishments to open its doors. Inside the restaurant, ‘budtenders’…

International design firm Carlo Ratti Associati has developed an experimental circular juice bar that uses orange peels to make deliciously fresh-squeezed juice but that’s not all. Using filament made from the leftover orange peels, the “Feel the Peel” machine then 3D prints disposable cups to drink the refreshing juice on the spot. The prototype juicer, which was designed in collaboration with global energy company Eni, is a 10-foot tall orange squeezer machine topped with a massive dome. The dome is comprised of several round racks that hold up to 1,500 oranges. The machine’s base is installed with a 3D printer. Once the order is placed for freshly squeezed juice, the innovative machine begins to work its magic. The…

Is that a cool autumn breeze we’re feeling, or is it the refreshingly airy energy of Libra season incoming? Well, it’s probably both, because Libra season 2019 begins on Sept. 23, and we’ll officially enter the season of balance. For the past month, the sun has been in meticulous, organized earth sign Virgo, where we’ve focused in on the details and put energy toward improving ourselves and the world around us. Libra season asks us to zoom out and look at the bigger picture, abandoning perfectionism for balance. Libra, a cardinal air sign represented by the scales, is a sign that values balance, justice, fairness, and kindness. Always considering all…

What does the future of camper vans look like? A German firm has unveiled a sleek concept vehicle that imagines van life in the year 2025. Hymer’s VisionVenture, which recently made its debut at a camping trade show held in Düsseldorf, Germany, is the result of a collaboration with engineering company BASF and features a design inspired by a luxury apartment. The VisionVenture concept is based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter — it retains the original doors, headlamps, and grille while the windshield has been moved forward and the A-pillar, engine hood and canopy have been redesigned. But while the compact quality of the Sprinter remains intact, the main “floor” of the van…

When languages evolve, it’s essential that scholars and dictionaries keep up. The internet has spawned a new crop of funny words for stuff, and while you may not like all of them, some of them are clever combos that seem like they might actually be useful! Many of these words come from urbandictionary.com, which is basically a dictionary of all new slang. Their site is probably the most complete dictionary of modern words, but it’s also chock-full of nonsense. Most of these words are portmanteaus, which are what you get when you mash both the sounds and meanings of two words together to get a new one. Did you know,…
