The Sinking Scale

scale_01

The ultra-portability of this scale is made possible by a unique weighing system that utilizes water to gauge the displacement of the object placed upon it. Once the object has settled on the flexible surface, the weight will is displayed in a straightforward manner directly below. The alternative method also gives a visual reference to the user as they compare the way different objects interact with the surface. When not in use, it can be emptied and packed for easy toting.

TUL Suitcase Lets You Know How Heavy Your Stuff Is as You Pack

TUL Suitcase

 

Pack light if you can, bring a portable luggage scale when you can’t. Buying extra baggage allowance in advance costs way less than adding some extra kgs at the check-in counter. If you can’t be bothered to bring a portable scale (or keep forgetting), then the TUL Suitcase is a worthwhile and smart alternative to consider.

The TUL Suitcase has a built-in weighing scale, with a display by the zipper showing you the current weight of the stuff that’s in it. The suitcase doesn’t have to be upright or closed to work, so you can check the weight as you pack–convenient and fuss-free, just the way it should be.

It’s currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of AU$229 (about $205) will get you one of your very own.

Smart Scale for Dummies

Whether it’s to save space or keep things looking tidy, we have a natural tendency to push our at-home body scales right up against the wall. Great, except that when it comes time to weigh-in you find yourself in an awkward, almost laughable position against the wall trying to see the results! The Comfy Gap solves this problem with a sliding surface that automatically puts users at the perfect distance away from the wall without sacrificing space. Simply step and slide to get your results. It’s 2014 after all, so of course it also works with an app on your smart device to keep track of your progress!

For Over-packers Everywhere

If you’ve flown with luggage then you’re familiar with the fear of your bags being too heavy when they weigh them at the kiosk.  There’s no quicker way to start a sour day of traveling than with a hefty overweight-luggage fee! Finally, this clever design takes the stress out of over-packing. Integrated directly onto the luggage, the handle doubles as a scale so the user can make sure they’re not exceeding the weight limit. Simple… and genius!

Wear This, Get Slim: Caffeine-Infused Clothing

When it comes to weight loss, most experts would say that exercise and a good diet are the keys to shedding those extra pounds. Unfortunately, people have a hundred and one reasons why they can’t stop eating this, or why they can’t get on this particular workout routine. Well, complaining about being out of shape won’t help you any. But complaining while wearing this caffeine-infused top might.

caffeine top 620x618magnify

Dubbed as the “Caffeine-Infused Slimming Tank Top,” the tank’s stretchy fabric is infused with micronized caffeine and brown algae. According to its product page, the former is to stimulate lipolysis, which is the natural breakdown of stored fats, while the latter is to moisturize and smooth its wearer’s skin.

Sounds pretty unscientific, but hey, it could work. At the very least, it should give you a little buzz.

The caffeinated tank top is available from Hammacher Schlemmer online for $85(USD). There’s also a set of matching body shorts for $70.
