How to make thin hamster!

Upon seeing these gifs on tumblr, I thought they were a joke, so went to Youtube to find the video! It turns out the video is in fact not a joke, or fake. It was posted by hamster fanatic (I know, we're all eager to join that fandom) ghiblilover25 who has plenty more hamster videos on her channel, including "Hamster spews up dung" — Lovely! You can watch the "How to make thin hamster" video below!

Body-painting clothes



Those jeans are so cute right? They fit perfectly and the colours are lovely! Well guess what? (you probably already did from the title..) they're painted on! Some amazing artists are able to actually use body paint to paint realistic looking jeans onto human skin, amazing! It's like makeup for legs. You can watch a video about it below, I found it super interesting. You'd have to have plenty of courage to go out like that though!

Small house love!

Recently I saw a post on Tumblr referring to a small eco-house that cost just $33,000 to build!
Look how cute it is!
"After spending years in the rat race, with their lives revolving around paying a hefty mortgage, Andrew and Gabriella Morrison decided to call it quits. They bravely decided to downsize to save money and adjust their lives so they could focus on more important things than monthly bills.

Since they both had a background in construction, Andrew and Gabriella built their tiny house (called “hOMe”) together. Then, they even set up the website Build A Tiny House to help others do the same."

This may sound really stupid, but I take comfort in the fact that, if you try hard enough, you can build a small and highly functional house for such a small amount of money. I know that if I end up in a low paid, 9 to 5 job, that I still will be able to afford a nice house if I want one!

Whenever I see small houses, such as the one above, on Tumblr, I just fall in love! They're so adorable and the creators/builders must be so smart and I bow down to them. Oh, if only I was smart enough to be an architect!

Everyone should watch this video about social networking!

Gary Turk uploaded his first video to YouTube just 9 days ago, and it's already got almost 4 million views! It's a short movie/spoken word called "Look up", written, performed and directed by Gary Turk, based on the world we live on and our dependency on social media. I find it ironic, however, that his video was posted on Youtube – one of the biggest social media sites. I don't agree with everything said in the video, I think social media can be a great way of documenting things, however he makes some good points. The story told throughout the video is heartbreaking and it's definitely worth the watch.


*Ignores the video and shares on all my social networks*
