If you’re an Ikea fan, you’ve probably seen the world of Ikea Hacking, or taking Ikea pieces and making them your own with mild or extensive customization.

Here are a few of my favorite pieces in both collections so far…
9 kitchen products you didn’t know existed, but could change your life!
I might have been shopping for something really boring on Amazon — so boring I don’t even remember what it was. But whatever it was lead me down a rabbit hole of single-use kitchen products that I had no idea existed, but one of them changed my life.
You might not even know that some of these exist either, and one of them could change your life!
Star Wars appliances that will make you say “No way, Ms. Rey!”
May the Fourth be with you, and may you get as big of a kick out of these new Star Wars kitchen goods and appliances as I did.

It’s one of my favorite days of the year: Pi Day! March 14th is when we celebrate everyone’s favorite irrational number with clever Pi-themed home goods. I’ve whipped up a whole new bunch since our last round-up. And by “new” I mean Pi-themed gifts (and jokes!) you probably haven’t seen before…
