Hipster Yoga has recently become one of my favorite sites to visit lately. With a pretty straight forward design, the blog transforms common Hipster ‘poses’ into actual yoga formations.  Heres a sample:

1. Bring the left leg up and cross the left thigh over the right.

2. Put on glasses even though you have 20/20 vision.

3. Bring the arms out in front and cross the right arm over the left.

4. Sip PBR ironically and/or because you’re poor.

5. Hold 5-10 breaths.

Awhile back, I came across these nifty little bowls called Measure Up Bowls. Used for accurate measurements as well as portion control, the bowls are a perfect addition to anyone’s kitchen.  Whether you are on a restricted diet, or can’t stand using measuring bowls, these bowls make cooking and preparation a breeze.

The Measure Up Bowls are microwave and dishwasher safe porcelain portion bowls that are a great healthy lifestyle tool. They TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF CALORIE COUNTING. The Measure Up bowls can help you lose weight more quickly and easily – but here is the difference. The Measure Up Bowls are designed to help you keep the weight off. They are designed with the intent of permanently changing your lifestyle habits- not to just be another quick fix.

The bowls come either individually or in a dual set, each one with separate measurements.  The smaller of the two is ideal for smaller portions, while the larger goes up to 2 cups.

Personally, I hate using measuring cups, so these bowls were the perfect solution for my cooking needs.  The wide mouths of the bowls allowed me to pour right in, without being concerned.  It was perfect for separating out eggs, as well as baking flour.  The smaller bowl was perfect for measuring out fruit for my kids lunches, to make sure they were getting the accurate servings for the day.

Measure Up Bowls wants to give one of you a dual set of their bowls, a $30.00 value!

I will admit that I have often used my computers in many of the ways displayed in this graphic to the displeasure of my body. Now with that said, I must stop. It is so easy to get caught up in something and just do it because it is convenient. That is one of the worse mistakes we can make, especially since we all spend a lot of our time typing away on computers.

Angel Face Botanicals is a fairly new shop that has received tons of attention lately.  With features in Harper Bazaar, Divine Caroline, and many others, their botanical goodies are worthy of being lusted after.  While they feature everything from bath products to aromatherapy goodies, one of my favorite items I came across was this Rock Star Detox.

Formulated to draw out the toxins & pollution from your body & exfoliate away any dead skin cells & built up residue. The botanical oils in this scrub moisturize your skin & help to carry the detoxifying power of antioxidants & essential oils through the deeper dermal layers of your skin to benefit your entire body’s well-being.

The beneficial essential oils in Rock Star Detox work synergistically to detoxify your cells & curb moodiness. Fennel, Rosemary, Juniper Berry & Grapefruit benefit all manner of toxic hangovers & overindulgence supporting the liver, reducing fluid retention. Lavender, Geranium & Rose balance emotions, ease headache & irritability.

Rock Star Detox Scrub’s scent is a little like honey with a refreshingly herbal blend of essential oils, a bit of citrus-y tang, softened with just a wee hint of floral.

Do you want to win a full size of the Rock Star Detox?  Well good news!  Angel Face Botanicals is giving one away to one lucky NerdLike reader, a $19 value!

With BPA this, and mercury that, everyone is scared sh*tless when it comes to what is safe to drink.  Well, Tony Flynn with the World Vision charity and Potters for Peace must have been tired of listening to people go crazy over it, and has formulated a way for anyone to drink clean water anywhere, filtering it with materials we have on hand. via PlantGreen

Materials
1. crushed, dry clay
2. organic material(tea leaves, cofffee grounds, or rice hulls)
3. water
4. Cow manure

Instructions
1. Mix in enough water to make a stiff biscuit-like mixture
2. Form a cylindrical pot that has one closed end
3. Dry the pot in the sun
4. Surround the pot with straw and place it in a mound of cow manure
5. Light the straw and then top up the burning manure as required.
6. Filter will be completed in less than an hour.

According to ANU:

The organic materials are burned away during the firing process and create small passages in the filter that allow water, but not pathogens, to pass. This filter effectively removes 96.4-99.8% of E. Coli in water.

Johnson & Johnson has decided to target the pop crowd with the release of their MTV Band-Aids, which  showcase classic artwork by Brazilian artists Carla Barth and João Lelo.  Don’t get your hopes up yet, so far these will only be available in Brazil….damn damn damn. Oh well, back to the Spongebobs!

This interesting Heart Calculator will take your fitness info and calculate what your heart is doing at this exact moment.  Interesting concept right?  Of course, this in no way replaces a visit to the doc!  I put in my info and here’s what I got.

Using 3D CT scans, he takes the pictures and adds colors using the rainbow technique [a technique he created]. To see the rest of his collection, including a heart and a nose, check the jump.

This dude planned to walk from Beijing to Germany, beginning in the Fall of 07. After a few months had passed, and reviewing his documentation…he realized he had grown a pretty mighty beard.
