It\u2019s really important that we get the visual part down right, but most sites aren\u2019t really great for visual inspiration. \u2026 but Niice is this incredible site that shows you really creative imagery and often a lot of original art from artists, which is great because sometimes it can be hard to access the people doing really interesting creative work. Niice is meant, I believe, for designers and for design firms to do premium mood boards. \u2026 The great thing about this site is it can make me associate new concepts actually that I hadn\u2019t before. It\u2019s a really neat way to think about the future visually.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-28817\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/05\/doubleeyelid-111x300.jpg\" alt=\"doubleeyelid\" width=\"111\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/05\/doubleeyelid-111x300.jpg 111w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/05\/doubleeyelid-378x1024.jpg 378w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2017\/05\/doubleeyelid.jpg 553w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 111px) 100vw, 111px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000V2F6BU\/cooltools-20\" target=\"_blank\">Double eyelid tape<\/a> ($12)<br \/>\n&#8220;Double eyelid tape is literally a small strip of adhesive that you place on your eyelid to create or change your crease.

These are things that can be done in 20 minutes by somebody who may not be an expert in the field, and it&#8217;s things like making reservations, doing a little bit of online research, finding doctors that work with your insurance, for example.
