Grow These Plants if You Love to Party
Nothing makes guests feel more welcome than homegrown ingredients and touches, be they edible or decorative. Obvious marijuana jokes aside, there are lots of great plants to cultivate in your garden if you love to throw parties. I've chosen a handful offavorites, all of which are relatively easy to grow, lovely to look at, and practical for entertaining. • Mint is a bit of a no-brainer. It's perfect for cocktails, garnishes, or even in floral bouquets, and it grows like crazy, even if you basically ignore it. In fact, it has a tendency to spread and conquer even the most carefully tended ...
Think Globally
It's Adventures and Outings Month here at Ohdeedoh, which means we're writing about all things travel-related. But what if you're not planning any big trips? You can still globetrot without leaving your home, just by owning a globe.

Dunhill iPad case
Prior to my Tom Ford addiction I was known for my hoarding of many things Paul Smith. And if there's one sole piece that it pains me to say was never mine it was a mock-envelope purse. With air mail detail and faux stamp flourishes, it was too feminine for my bag. Worse still, it was / isTania's and she wouldn't have been at all please to have it stolen, particularly by me. But now I get my own back, courtesy of Dunhill and their take on the fashionable iPad case. From Dunhill's Spring 2011 collection, the iPad case will be available in the near future.
Cool Out: Ice Hotels
Living in the Northeast and having to deal with blizzards and ridiculous snow storms each and every year, we can't image paying to stay in a snowy, icy accommodation. Like most vacation destinations, they're not catering to everyone. We imagine you have to be somewhat of a cold weather loving person to appreciate these opportunities to cool out.

To stay at the Ice Hotel you need to travel to Jukkasjärvi, Sweden — 200 km above the Arctic Circle. The Ice Hotel is ...
Leafy Walls: Bringing the Outdoors Inside
A while ago, we wrote about woodsy wallpaper as a way to create your own interior forest. This is similar, but not quite the same thing. While forest motifs tend to be dense with a lot of vertical shapes (like forests themselves), leafy patterns are lighter and airier. Wallpaper is one way to bring a canopy of leaves into your space, but stencils can also be an effective method. A few simple, well-placed painted leaves can add a hint of the natural world, but you don't want to get too countrified with the look — we recommend staying away from sponge-painted ...

Yesterday I set aside an hour in the afternoon for a little catnap.

After calming myself from a near heart attack, I set about to find the perfect, stylish doorstop.
