Selena Gomez Dreams Out Loud With K-Mart!

Selena Gomez is giving K-Mart’s juniors department a makeover with her new fashion line, Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez.

The 17-year-old multi-talented starlet is taking her line exclusively to Kmart’s stores across the U.S. and in Puerto Rico, WWD reports.

John Goodman, executive vice president of home and apparel for Sears Holdings Corp., shared, “She will be the centerpiece of the juniors business and hopefully add credibility to the apparel business in the whole Kmart store. This is part of the plan to revamp and revitalize the apparel business at Sears and Kmart.”

Selena shared of her new line, “[It's] the whole Texan cowgirl meets the glam Boho chic of Hollywood. Since the announcement, we added a lot of accessories. I love scarves, and long necklaces and cute bangles. It’s constantly changing, which is cool. It will change with me.”

Sel was the face of the Sears Arrive back-to-school campaign last year. Check out some of the designs below!

All of us need to sleep, but some of us more than others….

If you have a cat or dog at home then you know they love to sleep, especially cats which can spend 15 hours a day sleeping.

Other pets hardly ever sleep, like Guinea Pigs and bunnies. Have you noticed? If you have one of these pets, check it out. You will notice that they are always up!

And then there are pets like the ones in the photos, which are completely lazy and sleep-crazy. Are they not the cutest?

Spicy Wasabi Alarm Clock!

When it is time to get up ion the morning, many times, the alarm clock doesn’t work well.

You may ignore your alarm clock if the bell or music that it uses to wake you up is always the same. Then you are late to school!

People have tried all sorts of alarm clocks, from jumping puppy alarm clocks to puzzle alarms…but nothing compares to the Wasabi alarm! Do you know what wasabi is? It is a VERY spicy Japanese paste that is used in many dishes in Japan. 

The Wasabi alarm clock takes advantage of this spicy sauce to wake up the laziest people around. It works by blowing dry powder wasabi into  the sleeping person’s nose. This wakes a person up with the sensation of burning, and incredible desire to drink some water and get rid of the sting. A simple and perhaps painful way to get up in the morning!

Known as “Japanese horseradish”, its root is used as a spice and has an extremely strong flavor. Its hotness is more akin to that of a hot mustard rather than the capsaicin in a chili pepper, producing vapors that stimulate the nasal passages more than the tongue.

Wasabi is often served with sushi or sashimi, usually accompanied with soy sauce.

Funny Animals!

Sometimes pets can be so funny that we just have to capture the moment on film.

What do you think about this puppy? He sleeps anywhere! Whether with his puppy brothers on top of a plastic bottle, this little guy has no problem finding a pillow. 

There are some animals that don’t like having their photo taken. Just ask this kitten hidden behind this plant. It has a frightened look on its face don’t you think?

Some people try to bring attention to their pets by dressing them up and giving them weird haircuts. Just look at this poodle with a geometric hair style. 

Last but not least, squirrels, which always look cute. They are usually pretty easy to take photos of.

Everyone talks about having a dog or a cat as a pet, but today we have a suggestion for an exotic pet. Don’t worry, we’re not talking about snakes or spiders, we are talking about the friendly hedgehog!

The hedgehog is a insectivorous animal that lives in the north of Africa and the south of Europe. It is a small animal that is covered in needles which it uses as protection. Little by little this animal was domesticated and now they can make calm and fun pets.

However, if you bring an hedgehog home as a pet there are a few things that you will need to know. First of all, like all animals hedgehogs need a lot of love and handling every day, so if you don’t have time to do this then just forget about it.

Hedgehogs eat insects in the wild, but this may not be a great way to feed them at your house. So, you can give them canned dog chow or cat food instead of bugs, which will provide them with all the nutrients that they need.

In the hedgehogs cage you will need a food dish, a watering bottle like one for a hamster, and a little house where it can hide.

These are just a few tips, but if you really do decide to get a hedgehog then make sure to read up on them more on a site dedicated to hedgehog care.
