Last week we got all ready to hit the gym only to discover a flat bicycle tire. No worries, we thought, we'll just fill that sucker up and be on our way. Wrong. Our (very old) bike pump had other plans. Instead of filling the... [More]
We don't exactly seek opportunities to pee outdoors. But for those of us who occasionally like to ditch the hair dryer and take to the wilderness for some camping or hiking, it becomes a necessity. While our male friends can mark trees and try to... [More]
The Cuisinart 'Smore to Love' S'more Maker ($18) is everything we want the rest of this summer to be. Even though we should probably only eat one s'more per cookout, our new inanimate best friend here cooks six at a time. And since this makes... [More]
Doesn't the Lenox Bike Helmet ($60) by Bern remind you of a funky equestrian helmet? Just us? As soon as we saw it, we imagined ourselves on a horse named Mojito Madness the Third, jumping fences like they weren't no thang! Instead, we'll just take... [More]

We'll put this one on the "When We're Real Grown-Ups" wish list, because we're pretty sure the effect of this Fiberstars Light Streams Star Floor Kit ($686) would be somewhat less impressive in the eight-foot kiddie pool currently gracing our backyard. For those of you... [More]
Forget outhouses and strenuous uphill hikes - this Outdoor Cabana ($4,995) epitomizes the kind of camping we can get behind. Just give us a private beach we can have it set up on, and we'll happily give up our hair dryers to spend a long... [More]
Everyone knows that one of the best ways to survive the zombie apocalypse will be getting to the most remote location that you can and setting up camp. That's why we're putting our pennies in the jar for The Stronghold ($3,000). This is the Godzilla... [More]
Thought you couldn't afford your own private island? Boy, were you wrong! For less than a month's rent, you can be the proud owner of your very own Sea-Doo Mega Inflatable Island ($530). Think of it as a blow-up party for you and seven of... [More]
We had to look twice to make sure the Natori Thien Sheared Print Beach Towel ($35 on sale) was actually a beach towel and not a piece of art. We suppose that technically the two aren't mutually exclusive. We're upping the level of sophistication on... [More]
It's been so long since our Irish skin enjoyed the sun that the last time we tried to do a little sunbathing we only got in about thirty minutes (with sunscreen on!) before we started to sizzle. Seriously? That really puts a crimp in our... [More]
Why roast one marshmallow when you can roast ten? The Rome Marshmallow Tree ($10) allows you to singe a whole family's worth of s'mores goodness at a time. Or, in our case, a single person's single serving's worth.... [More]
Pack a good enough lunch and kissing won't be the only activity you enjoy on this Kissing Rabbits Picnic Blanket ($46)...you might even sneak in a nap. What did you think we were talking about? Hmmm...?... [More]
We don't expect to see any leopards (at least we hope we don't*) while we're camping in the California mountains, but we sure wouldn't mind sleeping under one! This Don't Be A Leopard Fieldcandy Tent ($766) is the cat's meow for camp essentials. We need.... [More]
We once visited the Beach Club in Santa Monica with someone's cousin who happened to be a member. Holy ritz-balls. We've been dreaming about lying on a private beach under a classic beach umbrella ever since. And while we can't afford a membership (puh-lease), we... [More]
You can spend the better part of a paycheck on a bathing suit. But just how good do you think that designer body-hugger looks when you display against a ratty old rag with a picture of dolphins leaping over a rainbow? Give your suit the... [More]
Camping is all fun and games until you look down and realize you're sleeping on a bed of snakes, bugs, and other various forms of NOPE!* We still like venturing into the out-of-doors, but now we do so from the comforts of our Kamp-Rite Double... [More]
Hold it right there. Before you go passing over this teepee as a kids' play tent, we need to make you aware that this is for adults! For adults, people! As in a grown up campout. Who says you have to go all Coleman to... [More]
It seems cruel that the food we spent the past two months avoiding in order to look good in our bikini is what we ultimately end up floating in. Giant Doughnut Pool Float ($25)... [More]
Every year we bring Jiffy Pop stovetop popcorn on our camping trip. And every year we lament eating it so quickly. There's something so delicious about hot popcorn on a cold night! We're averse to eating popcorn soaked in funky chemicals and preservatives, though, so... [More]
