Hot In The Hive: Condiment Gun

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI know what you’re thinking, why is a toy gun being featured at Stylehive? But trust me, this is no ordinary toy gun. With all the barbecue parties you’ll be going to this summer, this little condiment gun will be your must-have accessory! Instead of the water guns of your childhood, this one will tickle your taste buds instead of getting you soaked. Load this gun with condiments such as mustard or ketchup, squeeze the trigger and you’ll have exactly the right amount of sauce on your hot dogs or burgers. Once you’re done dressing your barbecue meats, it might be time to ambush some unwitting guests with a good old fashioned food fight. Just a word of warning though, don’t be surprised if they’re packing some condiment loaded heat too.

Price: $24.98

Hot In The Hive: Guerlain Jewel Lipstick Compact

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageOne quick glimpse of the inside of my purse is all it takes to figure out that it’s really just a big makeup bag in disguise. Every time I leave the house for anything more than just a quick trip to the grocery store, I can’t help but just grab every beauty product I put on that day (which can include but is not necessarily limited to: bulky foundation/blush/bronzer compacts, two or three pots of shadow, mascara, brow and eyeliner pencils, lipgloss…) — I was a Girl Scout and therefore I will always compulsively be prepared! But I have to admit, hefting around all those products can be pretty ridiculous, not to mention realistically unnecessary on roughly 95% of the outings I bring them along. One solution (other than getting a grip on myself and only bringing the bare-bones must-haves) is consolidation, which is exactly what Guerlain had in mind when they invented their handy Jewel Lipstick Compact. Instead of the dinky reflective mirrored end of those lipsticks that boast a “built-in mirror” that hardly actually proves useful at all, Guerlain’s case actually both opens up to reveal a full-on compact mirror. Sleek, functional, and it’s got a pretty sweet spaceship-looking design… except this rocket can actually fit in your pocket. It’s a little on the pricey side, but with its high-quality formula and all the valuable space you’ll spare in your purse, what’s not to love?

Price: $45

Hot In The Hive: “Don Banana” Kitchen Box by Alessi

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageOk, let’s be honest here. Are you still storing your dry goods like flour, sugar, coffee, or tea in the big bulky packages it came in? Whether it’s a flimsy cardboard box with tape all over it to keep it from collapsing or big, bulky, and ugly plastic containers, it’s no wonder why kitchen cupboards are such a mess. That’s why I fell in love with Italian design team, Alessi and their “Don Banana” Kitchen Box! I don’t know about you, but I’ll certainly crack a smile every time I reach for my tea leaves or sugar in the morning. I think the box could also be a fun storage idea for candies and nuts (provided you and your guests eat them before they get stale). Or how about bath salts or cotton balls in the bathroom? The storage possibilities are endless!


Price: $50

Hot In the Hive: SuperHeadz Golden Half Camera By Chelsea Maika

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI know what you’re thinking: another novelty camera? Before you roll your eyes and scroll onward, hear me out! This boxy little contraption isn’t just another artsy throwback gadget or a rebellion against digital technology to replace your trusty Canon. Not only is it cute and compact, but the SuperHeadz Golden Half Camera lets you take 2 individual standard vertical format photos on each frame of a 35mm film roll – one right next to the other. This not only allows you to double the number of pics that can be taken on one roll (ie: 48 pictures on a 24 exposure roll), but also encourages you to unleash your artistic visionary side by automatically juxtaposing the images you shoot on the same frame so that they appear side by side on one sheet of photo paper. Whether you want to emphasize some before and after shots of your kitchen from a particularly messy cooking disaster, or maybe prove your point on how much your ex-boyfriend looks like his dog, this camera’s clever capabilities are bound to have your creative side running amok!

Price: $64

Hot In The Hive: The Sphere Sleep System By Karim Rashid

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageEver had one of those days when you wake up and just wish you could stay in bed all day? Oh, just about every day, right? As comfortably inviting as your current bed may already be, imagine if it also had a built-in massage system. And a 32-inch TV and theater system. And a champagne holder! Basically, what if that tempting bed of yours was literally an all-in-one pleasure cove of relaxation, entertainment, and pure sleeping bliss? Clearly, The Sphere by Karim Rashid is a bed/haven only for the extremely self-disciplined, because with its advanced massaging capabilities by Hollandia International and its built-in entertainment system, mustering up the motivation to actually set foot outside its cozy high-tech enclosure would be a daily battle. Though I guess with its LED canopy lights, you technically could get reading and work done without even having to get out of bed to so much as flip a light switch. If it weren’t for the need to actually eat, I could probably justify living in the thing — I guess the only thing it’s missing is literally the kitchen sink! Until that upgrade comes along, check out the ridiculously luxurious customizable bed at the Hollandia International official site!

Price: contact Hollandia International for ordering info! My guess is not cheap…

Hot In The Hive: Throw Some Green Around With CB2’s Astro Balls!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI love living in the city and would rather be nowhere else. The excitement, the variety, the convenience, the interesting and unique things around every corner. I love it all. The only thing I don’t love about the city? The lack of green. You can find gourmet salad bars and veggie burgers piled high with leafy greens and fresh produce on any block, but you’d be hard pressed to find a lush yard in between apartment buildings or an overflow of trees and flowers on any given corner. Now, there is an easy and fun way to add the illusion of thick vegetation to your living environment! Thanks to CB2 and their Astro Balls, livening up your garden is no problem! They are made of high-quality polyethylene and look like giant Koosh balls made of grass! Their fun and unique shape add interest to any yard or lawn, regardless of size. They are not real grass so you can enjoy the look of green plants, but not have to worry about the care and maintenance that usually come with them. These CB2 Astro Balls are great for interior decoration too! Add a few into a large, glass vase, or set them individually in small bowls for a sophisticated look with a quirky edge. They come in light and darker green shades and at $3.95-$4.95 a piece, get a few and have fun decorating your urban area!

Price: $3.95- $4.95

Hot In The Hive: Crate & Barrel’s Ice Cream Pint Tub

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWhenever I go to the grocery store, I stock up on all the essentials: pasta, salad greens, orange juice, and of course ice cream. But more often than not, I’ll run into a friend and end up going to a cafe for long conversations over coffee and cookies. When I finally get home, I discover that the salad greens have wilted, the orange juice is warm, and the ice cream is soup. Sound like a familiar story? Well, I can’t help you with the wilted greens or the warm orange juice, but I do have a solution for the melted ice cream. The Ice Cream Pint Tub from Crate and Barrel is designed with freezer gel (like the kind in ice packs) in the lid. Just freeze the lid for 2.5 hours and bring the whole thing with you the next time you buy ice cream at the grocery store. Not just for ice cream, it’s also handy for other small things that need to stay chilled.

Price: $12.95

Hot In The Hive: Animal Shower Caps

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIf you ever had to share a bathroom with your family or roommates, then you know it’s hard to tell things apart. Don’t get me wrong, I’m close with my family, but I don’t want to be that close if you know what I mean. So you’ve color coded your towels, stitched a name tag on your loofah, and labeled your shampoo bottles with your name everywhere, but what about your shower cap? Those clear plastic shower caps everyone has may do a good job in keeping your hair dry, but they don’t really differentiate themselves well. That’s why I’m so glad I found these super cute shower caps from Urban Outfitters! Choose from animals from a toothy hippo (our fav!), cute panda, menacing shark, and more. Buy one of each for everyone in your household and still have something leftover for your monthly hair color treatments. And I wouldn’t be surprised if you start hearing the Jaws theme song or funny animal noises the next time you pass by the bathroom.

Price: $6
