We have a lot of NeatoShop contests simply because we're proud of our tees and want to spread the love. If you already own a NeatoShop tee of your own, then you know just how awesome they are. 

If you'd like to turn one shop into two, we now have a way for you to earn a free shirt just for sharing your love of our tees.  

All you have to do is take a picture of yourself in a shirt from the NeatoShop and then upload the image to our NeatoShop Facebook page. If we like the picture enough, we'll feature it as an official image for that design in the shop and in exchange, we'll reward you with a free tee shirt of your choice. If you keep taking pictures of your shirts, who knows, maybe a single NeatoShop tee will turn into a whole wardrobe.

Obviously without seeing your pictures, we can't guarantee that we will or won't use your picture, but here are a few tips if you want to maximize your chances of getting featured:

• Make sure the shirt design is totally visible. We love you fans, but if we're going to put a picture on our product page, it needs to show the product clearly, not just a picture of you with a tiny square of one of our shirt designs peeking out in the corner.
• Be creative. We already have pictures of the tee shirts, we want pictures that show you having fun in your tee. You don't have to leave your face in the image if you don't want to, but there better be something really interesting about the image if your head's cut out of it.
• Keep it clean. It goes without saying, but if you're flipping off the camera or posed reading an adult magazine, we won't be using that photo.
• Don't go too artsy. Instagram is great and we love artistic photos, but black and white, high contrast, soft focus, etc. images won't work on our product photos, so make sure it's clear and the design's colors show up accurately.

Just imagine you could find yourself into a My Friendly Neighbor tee or any other great NeatoShop design simply for supporting the shop and the blog!

Hey gang, want to win SIX free tees from the NeatoShop? All you have to do is like the NeatoShop Facebook page and tell us the name of your favorite design (like the Batnoir pictured) in the comments for this FB post. All submissions must be in by Sunday at 11:59 PM PST.

Want to increase your chance of getting a tee? While we can't manage referrals in this contest, we can say that with six tees up for grabs, if you happen to refer the person who ends up winning the contest they kind of owe you one of the tees they win and we will be happy to ship prizes to two different addresses. So there's certainly good reason to urge your friends to participate too.

Why should cool home designs be limited to human residents? Pets like to look a little classy too. And over on Homes and Hues, we've compiled some of the coolest and most fun pieces of pet furniture ever created.

There's everything from geeky designs for cats -like this Indiana Jones bridge...

to ridiculously fancy beds for dogs. Whatever you and your furry friends are into, there's sure to be something to impress you both in this delightful list.

So don't miss all the fun, go look at these 20 Wonderful Pieces of Furniture For Pets

The Autostadt is essentially a German museum dedicated to car history, design and more. The MobiVersum is the family-oriented part of the attraction, which naturally features a playground to keep younsters entertained. But this isn't just any old collection of slides and swings -it's more like an interactive play sculpture.

The design is inspired by a forest, but it is abstract enough that children may just as easily imagine they are sailing the seven seas, fighting dragons or exploring the galaxy as they climb across tight ropes, crawl up tiny tunnels and slide down -well, slides. 

When the kids are played out, they can head to the museum's cooking school or go take a "driving test" where they can earn a children's driving license.

Hey there gang, we partnered up with our friends at Today I Found Out to bring you a seriously epic contest. How epic? Well, you can be the envy of all of your friends when you receive a Captain America Mystery Box prize pack (picture below) and as if that weren't cool enough, you can buy anything your little heart desires over at Amazon with a $100 gift card. And so you don't look raggedy while doing so, you can also choose any tee from the NeatoShop and one from the Today I Found Out shop.

Even if you don't win the Grand Prize it's worth entering the contest as the second place winner will be able to pick out any two tees or hoodies from each of the sponsor's shops and the third place winner can pick out one tee or hoodie from each site's shop.

The contest ends at 11:59 PM PST on April 4, so get going!

Have you guys seen 300: Rise of An Empire yet? If you have and you absolutely loved it, hated it but adored the original or if you still haven’t but only because you’re biding your time, you might want to show your Spartan spirit with some delightful handmade 300 crafts. Here are a few that might inspire your loyal followers one day.

This Is Jewelry!

When it comes to 300-inspired jewelry, no one has you covered quite like GeorgeArtJewels of Athens, Greece. Sure the creator might not actually be from Sparta, but this is about as close as you can get to getting real 300 armor that is socially acceptable to wear wherever you go. Choose from a Spartan shield pendant, an officer’s helmet pendant, a Spartan helmet ring or even Leonidas’ damaged helmet in key ring form.

Spartans! Prepare for Glory!

If GeorgeArtJewels doesn’t have quite what you’re looking for, perhaps you should head over to raulsouza’s shop to see if you can get a Leonidas’ helmet ring to call your own. The shop only carries a limited selection of goods at once, so you might have to contact the seller to have him make one just for you.

The Cost of Blood is Fashion

For a truly authentic ring version of Leonidas’ helmet, you’ll want one in the right color though, and FtiagmenoStoXeri’s version is the closest you will find to the real thing in finger size. The seller is only releasing 100 of these limited edition creations, so if you want one, you’d better act soon. The seller also offers a lovely shield pendant if you’re looking for some matching accessories.

Helmets On

If you don’t like the look of Leonidas’ helmet after it’s damaged–or if you just don’t think you’re quite worthy of the big guy’s signature armor, AddingtonKarpathia has a clean version of the Spartan helmet in ring form so you can shine in your finger armor.

A 500 square-foot home isn't huge, but when you live in a tropical paradise like a Thai mango plantation, you don't need much to be comfortable -especially when your tiny home even comes equipped with a small pond and a gazebo. 

Impressively, Steve Areen built this home for only $9,000 -including the impressive stonework and furnishings inside. It's also made from locally sourced concrete and clay bricks although Areen now hopes to build more dome houses that are even more sustainable with pressed earth bricks.

What's in an angle? Not just great style, that's for sure. The North Star Apartments in Slovakia prove that with their stunning lines that not only look wonderful, but also help keep the residents cozy in their homes. 

The striking balconies manage to reflect light into the windows while similtaniously blocking out traffic noise and providing residents with a little extra privacy. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the building looks fantastic.

Staircases are critical in homes that have more than one story, but  they can also be a serious drain on space. In an effort to make the most of the staircase, designer Just Haasnoot commissioned Dutch design studio Mieke Meijer to create a staircase that combines the functionality of stairs, shelves, a desk and a cupboard. The end result is a great place to work that provides a lot of much needed storage all while serving as a staircase at the same time. 

You can see all kinds of other great pictures of the staircase and more information about it at Homes and Hues: A Staircase, A Storage Unit and A Desk In One
