Nebia Shower: A Beautiful Drought-Friendly Showerhead

This drought is no joke. For conscientous folks longing for the days of relaxing under a hot, steamy shower, the Nebia Shower is a dream come true. The San Francisco–based company has developed a system that atomizes millions of water droplets into a hydrating mist that covers 10 times the surface area of the standard showerhead. But here's the best part: It also uses 70 percent less water. Hello! With 15 days to go, Nebia has flooded its 100K goal with over $2.5 million in funding. Get in on it now and be part of what might be history in the making.

Tripty Project: Slow Fashion from Oakland to Bangladesh 

Based in Oakland, the Tripty Project is a slow fashion brand that brings together traditional handicraft and hip design with an indie spirit. The project aims to combat the waste and poor worker treatment common among fast fashion brand through the use of raw, organic materials (cotton, pineapple, jute, silk); upcycling (saris are refashioned as lining for the reversable jackets); natural processes of sewing, weaving, and dyeing; and the employment of longtime artisans in Bangladesh. The result are cool bags, gorgeous garments, and hand-stitched quilts that support craft, culture, and the environment.

Playsuit: Everything the Modern Woman Needs in a Onesie 

Ah, the jumpsuit. So cute! So chic! So utterly inconvenient when you have to pee. From Jolie Coquette comes a coquettish little romper with real-world solutions for grownup women. Actually more like a skort, the playsuit has deep pockets and...are you ready for this...snaps. You know, so you don't have to get awkwardly naked during potty breaks at the office.
