Allergies don't only affect humans.

Your pets can suffer from seasonal allergies just the same, and if they do, how about getting them a petcover?

They come in different colors and range from about $39 to $49.

Not a bad idea.

The Siberian tiger is such a magnificent and majestic creature, but it is going extinct due to deforestation in its natural habitat. In fact, there are only 400 left in the wild!

What can WE do about it?

As a consumer we have a choice in what products we purchase and Vermont Wood Studios is raising awareness for consumers to avoid purchasing wooden furniture products from outside the United States.

They say up to 90% of the furniture you see for sale in our country is made of illegally harvested wood that is clear cut from ecologically sensitive habitats like this tiger's habitat.

Luckily, there is no need to buy outside of the U.S. because in Vermont our forests are growing at a rate that is faster than the harvest rate, increasing the forests sustainability!

Vermont Wood Studios offers styles ranging from contemporary to hand-crafted, all made with American wood.

They even offer free delivery, plant 5 trees for EVERY sale, and together with Save Tigers Now (a global campaign started by Leonardo DiCaprio) are working to double the number of wild tigers by 2022, the next Year of the Tiger.

We know where we're going furniture shopping!

It sounds like they might have a shot of salvaging their financial mess!

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice and her husband, Juicy Joe, are reportedly holding a private sale for their household furniture, but in an attempt to keep their things, have made an offer on their own items!

According to a notice of proposed private sales, the reality couple have offered the court $15,000 with exemptions totaling $29,405 (totaling $54,405). This means that if the judge approves the price, and no other parties outbid them, this mess will finally be resolved!

According to their bankruptcy attorney James Kridel:

"There has to be the highest and best offer. Best means a lot of things. If someone offered $500 more and in two payments, that's not the best offer [if someone offers less but in one payment]. So there is a little variable there. The judge has some discretion as to what that means. It's like an old expression, 'the law is whatever the judge says it is.' It's not all black and white. They do it on purpose to give the judge discretion to do the right thing, quite frankly, that's my opinion. We did it knowing that we were overvaluing it so as to preclude someone else from coming in. Because someone is not going to pay $10 for something that is worth $5. In my opinion, it would have to be out of spite or out of ignorance. Because whereas my mattress might be worth the replacement cost to me, it's probably worth almost nothing to someone else, so the real value of it would be ridiculous. Or I might have a figurine that's used and no one is going to pay for it. But it might have some sentimental value so that is really what was factored into that and that's why we were willing to pay more for it is because it's something [my clients] liked."

Wow!

We sincerely hope that these two can hold onto their belongings and put these crazy monetary issues to bed, but ultimately, that's up to the judge!

Either way, we doubt that there's going to a lot of extravagant spending from Teresa on the upcoming season of Housewives!

Lesson learned - we hope!

Designer Jean Paul Gaultier and luxury French furniture brand Roche Bobois are collaborating on a collection of home furnishings.

To test the waters, Roche Bobois sponsored JPG to renovate Elle Decor's suite at the top of Paris' architecture museum.

The most inneresting part of his decor was probably in the bedroom where an old-fashioned doll sits on the bed in a corset dress that expands to cover the entire bed.

Dita Von Teese tweeted a picture of it and well it's different to say the least.

The collab with Roche Bobois will be unveiled in the coming months and we can't wait to see what the quirky interior decorator comes up with!
