Here's a pencil that you can plant to grow tomatoes, basil and peppers


Sprout is a line of eco-friendly pencils that can be planted after use. When the mixture of graphite and clay runs out or if the pencil becomes too short to write with, just place it in soil (preferably near natural sunlight) and water it regularly. After a few weeks, a dissolvable seed capsule at the end of the pencil will germinate, transforming it into one of twelve herbs and vegetables such as basil, mint, cherry tomatoes, green pepper or sweet pea.

Experiencing Hiroya Kurata's Art

Finding moments of genuine peace can feel like a rare treasure these days. But what if I told you that a dose of serenity could be as simple as gazing upon a canvas? Hiroya Kurata 's work makes you want to slow down and find tranquility in daily life. His oil paintings look like delightful children's books or manga that whisper calmness through their composition, their palette, and the very essence of what they depict. Hiroya's canvases are basically a visual diary, capturing little snippets of moments he spends with his family in ordinary places. And, in a way, his art provides a pause button, a moment to simply be in the presence of something beautiful and serene. His work has been exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions across the globe, from New York to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and London. Waiting , his debut solo show at Carl Kostyál , is on view until August 2, 2025.

What I love about the Malaysian-born singer-songwriter is her knack for crafting those sad/happy songs – music that makes you want to cry and hit the dance floor at the same time. Chloe writes about love, anxiety, and self-acceptance with such wit and honesty. Her beauty is also undeniable – a perfect blend of modern allure and timeless Asian elegance. Her looks shine through with such grace and an effortlessly cool confidence. Here is my favorite.

Finding Art That Speaks To You

The internet is a vast ocean, and every now and then, you stumble upon something that makes you stop in your tracks.

It's rare to find an artist who can evoke such a strong feeling with their creations, and I instantly became a fan. The French artist's paintings often feature opposing elements—light and shadow, nature and industry, pleasure and violence, the real and the surreal. His figures are often fragmented, distorted, or contorted, blurring the lines between the human form and the landscapes they inhabit. Think of a vivid dream where everything is a little off-kilter, quite nightmarish, but in the most charming way possible. Proux's work is a reminder that art isn't just something to be observed in a museum or gallery. It's a powerful form of communication, a way for artists to share their...
