Baseball season is in full swing yet again; this season’s home openers for both New York teams were very special affairs, though not because of the outcome — each team’s respective game was the last at their current stadium. The Mets and Yankees will be moving to new homes next season. To commemorate the last opening days at both Shea and Yankee stadium fans no doubt brought home programs and ticket stubs of the event, but as much as those mementos are proof of game attendance, they don’t necessarily accurately convey the experience of being there. If you’d like to take a trip down memory lane that’s more a true reflection of what it was like to sit in the stands during those historic games, our old friend at NYC Garbage have just the thing. Justin Gignac one half of the creative duo behind on of our other favorite projects has collected trash from both home openers and sealed it in its very own see-through cube, so that Yankees and Mets fans can have a one of a kind, fresh-picked souvenir from one of their very last trips to their beloved fabled arenas of athletic combat.

Over the years, millions of Football (in America, read: Soccer) fans around the world have worshiped at the altars of players like Beckham, Ronaldinho, and Zidane. AC Milan, Real Madrid, and Manchester United aren’t just teams — they’re religions. It’s this “sacralization” of sport that served as the inspiration behind “Holygame” from our good friends, the talented Swiss Designers at +41. Their installation, a part of the Nike 1/1 project, made up of Football shoes laced to each other and surrounding a soccer ball comes off as a remarkable religious prayer monument of sorts that might even prompt those immersed in the fanaticism of the football cult to bow and pay homage to that sport which they hold most dear. If you’d like to kneel before the soccer gods, this monumental installation will next be on display during the Art Basel fair in Switzerland early this June.

Today is officially Earth Day, and while many companies will aim to show off how they’ve gone green for one shining moment in April, others are keen to the fact that earth day is not just on April 22nd, but every day and as such aim to make it a part of their every day existence. You can count Fashion boutique Fred Segal amongst the latter category. The Santa Monica-based winner of the LA Fashion Retailer of the year award is going green in a big way; their new home and lifestyle store, Fred Segal Green, conveniently located just down the road from their flagship store, features one of a kind products that are not only built for sustainability but also embrace the eco-friendly lifestyle. The store offers products ranging from bowls to benches, and plenty of other creations from accomplished designers from around the world, many of which are not available anywhere else. So if you fancy yourself eco-friendly and you’re a fan of well designed home wares, Fred Segal Green is the place to be this Earth Day and each day thereafter.

Warm weather means more than shorts, t-shirts, and flip flops…it also means it’s time to brush off that grill and start bbq-ing. Whether you’re a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore, you’re going to need more than just fire and coal to make your flame broiled fantasies a reality. Every grill master needs some quality utensils — and we’ve got just what the doctor (or chef) ordered. This set of stainless steel folding grill tools from Sur La Table includes a brush, a pair of tongs, and a spatula with eco-friendly pakkawood handles that allow these cooking tools to become compact providing a sleek space saving solution to your searing situation. Also, they might be useful in fending off a mugging providing you can convince your would be attacker that the folding spatula is also a switchblade.

The E is for Energy, and the Boost is for….boost. If you’re too old for Flintstone vitamins and too young for Centrum Silver, consider EBOOST, an orange effervescent tablet that contains a full day’s supply of essential vitamins and minerals like B12, C, Zinc, and other too-healthy-to-be pronounceable supplements. Plus, it’s probably better for us than our usual 10-12 sugar free Red Bulls, half a pack of American Spirits, and the Diet Coke chaser that we modestly refer to as “wake-up juice.” Kidding! Kidding. It also comes in single-serve powdered packets, great for emergency stashing.
