Three New Gnosis Flavors

Raw chocolates infused with love potions, immune-boosters and more
Gnosis.jpg

Previously featured as a raw, vegan chocolate option among many, Gnosis stands out for their inventive approach to the concept. Three new “added bonus” flavors, the Aphrodisia Bar, The Superberberry Lime Bar, and the Sacred Feminine Bar, add to their already full line-up of nutritious and antioxidant-rich bars.

The Aphrodisia Bar, appropriately-named for its “stimulating” ingredients, includes Horny Goat Week and Maca—known to increase sexual potency, stamina and energy.

Packed with berries galore, the Superberry Lime Bar fortifies with antioxidants, vitamins and micronutrients. A variety of berries, such as the Shizandra Berry and the Camu Camu Berry, will help strengthen the body’s defenses against disease, stress, anxiety, and will lend overall strength to immune systems and general well being.

The Sacred Feminine Bar is a chocolate bar made specifically with Venus in mind. Filled with medicinal herbs, the bar promises to alleviate any pain during a woman’s “sacred cycle of life.” With key ingredients such as Cramp Bark and Dong Quai mixed in, reducing womanly symptoms can feel like an indulgent treat.

Made entirely by hand in NYC, Gnosis bars sell for just over $9 from their site.

Dan works with large format prints of photographs, pastes them up, and clips away parts of the image to reveal various textures underneath. An awesome re-invention of this classic approach to street art.

Also known as Fauxreel, his show opens this Friday Sept 10 at the Show & Tell Gallery on Dundas and Ossington.

Life Is

Discovery and exploration in BBC Earth’s new interactive online experience
BBCLifeIs_1.jpg

Now in their 50th year, BBC Earth revamps their Natural History Unit with Life Is, an interactive site full of images, videos and stories of the world’s most visually-captivating documentaries and discoveries done by the BBC Earth Team.

BBCEarthLifeIs_2.jpg

Created by The Brooklyn Brothers and Fantasy Interactive, the online destination features content themed around monthly concepts with, such as September’s “Colourful.” The vibrant collection of videos and photos on the Earth’s most colorful wildlife and animals, stunning examples include schools of tropical fish in the Kingman Reef, a Chameleon, and Desert Cactus Flowers.

BBCEarthLifeIs_4.jpg

Users can engage with the Life Is interactive photo gallery by navigating through a widget that filters photos with sliders to select “Hot or Cold” (temperatures), “Fast or Slow” (speeds), “Sky or Sea” (habitats), and color choice. The device comes in handy for navigating through the relevant BBC Earth programming, allowing users access to the media directly from the Life Is website. For those short on time, the site also features a monthly round-up video composed of photos and videos centered around the theme.

With its playful design and stunning images, Life Is delivers the same sense of wonder and discovery as thumbing through old issues of National Geographic—but thoroughly updated for the digital age.


In Brief: Object Lessons, Trash-Talking Tim Gunn Offers Golden Rules

jabberjaw.jpg

  • William Shatner‘s Charmingly. Halting. Conversational. Style! A life-saving peanut paste! A look at Deepak Chopra‘s taste in sneakers. There’s something for everyone in the latest issue of The New York Times Magazine, but we wanted to call your attention to Rob Walker‘s latest “Consumed” column, in which he follows the story of stuff to its ultimate conclusion: letting stuff tell its own stories. Walker reviews a number of initiatives that seek to give a voice to objects (a chair, a doll, that ashtray you “borrowed” from the storied hotel) through their owners’ and creators’ personal stories. Minneapolis-based Itizen, for example, uses a tell-and-tag approach that puts a narrative twist on the bar code. Designers take note: “…some Itizen users have been employing the service to tell stories of object creation—a clothing designer, a bike messenger-bag maker, and others are attaching to things the story of how they were made or by whom,” notes Walker. “The ArtCrank Poster Show in Portland, Ore., next month, for instance, will have Itizen tags on the various bicycle-themed artworks sold there. The next narrative twist would be, more or less, a customer buying the thing.”

  • Also talking up a storm is the fabulous Tim Gunn, whose new book, Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lessons for Making It Work (Simon & Schuter), is out just in time for tommorrow’s kickoff of New York fashion week. The Project Runway mentor seems to have deserted his decorum in this, his second book, as he trash-talks the likes of his Liz Claiborne comrade Isaac Mizrahi (“one of the world’s biggest divas”) and Padma Lakshmi (“a certain glamorous host of Top Chef….[who] was once married to a world-famous novelist” asked Gunn for a favor, he obliged, and then she failed to follow through). Thankfully, waging ad hominem attacks on Bravo-lebrities hasn’t robbed him of his flair for sartorial and lifestyle advice. “Some people think of dressing up or being polite as a burden. They think having to wear a tie or use the right fork or send a thank-you card is a kind of shackle,” Gunn writes in Marie Claire. “To these people I say: Getting out of bed is a shackle. If you feel that way, stay in it! Invest in a hospital gurney and wheel yourself around on it when you need to go out.”
