Valentines Gift for Him (part 2)

What to get him for Valentines – Part 2

The practical man of the house
Some men are just great, they appreciate anything that is practical and valid to them. They make your gift shopping much easier. We would suggest:
An organic quality work shirt with that personal touch – the embroidering of his initials on the pocket or perhaps the cuffs; paired off with a set of initialled handkerchief would make a wonderful gift for him. ...

Valentines Gift Ideas (Part 1)

Well it certainly felt just like yesterday we were moaning about the hassle of Valentines, but what do you know it’s been a year and its back again- that time where we anxiously await the surprises (or the lack of it) that our significant other half has planned for us and in return fret our hearts and minds out over what would make the perfect gift for him – token of love, appreciated by him and all within the constraints of a tight budget...

And here we go again- Valentines is no different from all other occasions that call upon us to think of the perfect gift to buy a man. Men ...

7 deadly sins against Nature (Contd.)

Completing the set, here are the other 5 deadly sins against green:

3.    luxuria (extravagance which later became the infamous lust)
I suppose lust is one of the most popular sins of the seven, often linked with obsessive or excessive thoughts and desires of a sexual nature. But the fact is, the sin is actually about the excessive/impure love for something that leaves you in capable of having clarity of mind and rationality of actions. Green ...

7 Deadly Sins against Green

The first time I ever heard about the seven deadly sins was sometime during Catholic Education. The next time I truly appreciated it was when it was made the heart of a powerful yet disturbing movie starring the gorgeous Brad Pit! But as much as the movie ‘Seven’ depicted the culpability and vulnerability of our society to the cardinal sins, it is not the first time it has become a theme in art. In fact since the 14th century, the 7 deadly sins were a popular theme amongst artists which gave rise to beautiful artworks that held ingrained in them  reminders of "SALIGIA" ( A mnemonic of the ...

Ice Cream that's healthy for you

My ecstatic and erratic uncle is a firm believer that when it’s freezing cold outside (environment) all you have to do is match the temperature inside (body) and your worries about the chills in your bones are ghttp://wewantorganicfood.com/2007/07/15/how-to-make-organic-ice-cream/one. Yes he believes that when it’s both cold outside and inside there will be no notice of the difference in temperature and thus you won’t feel cold – can’t feel cold if you don’t know what warm/hot is? Anyway all I know ...

Washing dishes

Next to laundry dish washing has got to be the most common boring yet needful chore of the house. But regardless of whether you choose to use a machine to do the dirty work or your own hands, the use of dishwashing liquid/detergent is still a basic requirement. And if you knew well enough, you’d know that being concerned over the cleaning agent is more important than deciding on the method (hand or machine).

Why? Simply because the effects from it are more pronounced and immediate. You will notice the effect on 2 areas namely:

1.    The ...

Breaking out of a rut

Continuing from our previous post:

Make a physical change
I dress well and I take great concern over how I carry myself. But lately no matter what I do I’m never satisfied. I feel so unattractive, so sluggish looking. I then took the plunge and changed my hair colour (to a tone very much off my natural colour) with Tints of Nature. Fact is, it wasn’t ...

Life as we know it (in a rut)

I’m lacking miracles in my life. Recently everything has gotten pretty stagnant. Everything seems so predictable, work (day job) seems so non-gratifying and home sees so distant. I suppose all that I’ve described could be summed up as the modern day syndrome of having your “Life being stuck in a rut”. Now there are obviously signs when that happens, some say there are 5 others say there are 10, but I say when you feel like nothing satisfies you and you’re low on energy, enthusiasm and dreams/hope, you’re pretty much there.

Now there are many things ...

Engagement Rings

Different people have different passions. It takes different things to light up their lives. Some are driven by boats, others shoes while some others guitars. But me, I like rings. Actually it’s more than that, I love rings but it hasn’t got anything to do with being materialistic because while I may love them, I don’t exactly go out and buy them every other day. In fact I rarely ever buy them for myself – only twice so far and all for fantastic reasons (commemorating an achievement/milestone in ...
