New York is a great city and offers unlimited possibilities but sometimes, you just need to get away. If I had the cash, I’d most likely head over to Hardanger in Norway. Why Norway? Architects Todd Saunders and Tommie Wilhelmsen built a small summer home in the woods, overlooking a lake. It’s a minimalist approach to living, with only a shell of wood, glass and a bare essentials like a bed and table.

The best things in life aren’t free, but they could be hidden away in Hardanger.

Sky Factory’s new programmable “SkyCeilings” is just what introverts need to raise their Sims “room” stat. In an effort to make surroundings either at home or at the work place aesthetically pleasing, Sky Factory’s ceiling creates an illusion of nature by introducing changes of light and color; all in real-time as if it actually were to simulate the local rising and setting of the sun.

I live in a room with no windows. I haven’t seen the sun in seven years.  This is exactly the healing tool I need to enhance my physiology and well-being.  Ah fuck it, I love looking like Liz Taylor.
