Looking for an inexpensive car to get you from point A to B? Tata Motors an Indian company has developed the NANO just for you. The car is 10ft long, seats four and will sell for roughly $2,500, so pretty much anyone on an allowance can get one. Why is this car so cheap? Well in order to offer the car this cheap they had to make some cut backs on what regular people want on their cars. Don't expect to have Bluetooth on this little guy, in fact lots of the features you have on a regular car are extras on this guy. For instance air conditioning, power brakes, radios, etc. are all missing from the entry-level model.

What did you expect for a car that costs about as much as a high end refrigerator? The engine in the car is made from an aluminum block just like the old generation Volkswagen beetle was. Actually the Indian company dubbed the car "The people's car" just like Volkswagen had done with the beetle. Instead of welding you will find adhesive which is not so great but that's how they keep the cost down. Don?t expect to find any air bags on this guy either.

The vehicle can climb up until about 65 MPH where it will top off, It does however get about 50 miles to the gallon though with its 2 cylinder 623cc engine. Can you say lawn mower? Actually its about twice as powerfull as a conventional lawnmower you would have at home.

The Nano has a modular design. Tata Motors takes advantage of this and sells these as kits, this way regular people can purchase one of these and build it in their own garage if they enjoy that sort of stuff. Kind of crazy but cool at the same time.

The car is available in India currently but is destined to hit the US within the next three years. Because the US has stringent safety standards, it will have to go through a few redesigns before it starts being sold here.

Here's a nice candle holder that will go great in your living room. The candle holder is modeled after the Eiffel tower in Paris and stands at 45" high -- not quite as tall as the real tower, but tall enough. Its base measures 20" x 20" and it holds 20 candles of your choice. It is a majestic piece that always stirs up a conversation.

This 3" x 3" 80s puzzle cube clock is the definition of nostalgia. As you twist the top row, the display changes from date to time to alarm to temperature. A fun take on what is usually a boring product.

With hurricane season quickly approaching we thought we would look into some safety items for preparedness. With Urban Lime being home grown in Florida, we have lots of encounters with hurricanes and always find ourselves hurrying to get those last minute items to be ready for a storm.

Hurricanes, unlike many natural disasters, come with plenty of anticipation and warning. We get a good 3+ day warning when a bad storm is headed our way. What tends to happen is that we tend to procrastinate and leave everything till the last day. This means you will be at your local hardware/grocery store picking up the same items that a mob of other people are getting to be read -- things like canned foods, water, and batteries.

While looking for preparedness items before the upcoming storm season we came across the Ice-Qube Luxe Emergency Preparedness and Emergency Survival Kit made by Ice-Qube. Ice-Qube Luxe is a top of the line product in the disaster preparedness area. The system provides premium rescue, survival, first aid, hygiene and comfort products for an entire family.

The nicest thing about the Ice-Qube Luxe is that it all comes in a handy little box. It is very well organized and takes advantage of every inch of space in the Qube. The Ice-Qube Luxe exceeds the U.S. Home Security guidelines for home emergency preparedness. It will provide food, water and essential rescue and survival supplies for up to 4 people for 72 hours. It is amazing that they were able to pack all that stuff into this little box. The Ice-Qube can be used for virtually any natural disaster preparedness such as tornadoes and earthquakes, not just hurricanes.

vinylfruit's Etsy shop has about 52 vinyl decals you can purchase. When we performed our virtual stroll of their shop, their "Whale of a Wall" vinyl wall art decal was the one that won our hearts. I honestly wouldn't know how to implement the decal in my home, but the picture of the bathroom (pictured above) gave me some slick ideas.

The 15.5 inches x 22 inches design retails for $28.00. And like everything Etsy, can be modified to your needs (colors and such).

When you're enjoying your pool, you might want to have a cold drink or even a sandwich. The Big Bobber is capable of holding up to 12 cans comfortably including the ice. What we love most of this cooler is its shape and lack of need to inflate anything when it is used. The Big Bobber is not big so it won't take up much space in your pool.
