Ecoblue

This morning when I decided to type in the words –“eco + blue” into my browser’s search bar, I had a different expectation/intention for what would turn up and honestly urinals were not amongst them.
But that’s the great thing about the unexpected isn’t it? It leaves room for wonderful surprises and ‘amusing’ pieces of writings. Well whether or not this one counts as amusing is left to you to decide but one thing I do know is that it is informative so bear with me.

Recycling Spectacles

Let us face facts, the modern society of today and our youths do not have great vision. Children as young as 5 are walking around with spectacles powered to 300! I’m not an expert on the matter and by no means an eye specialist but I think that’s pretty severe vision deterioration for a child. But that’s quite beside the point I’m trying to strike out here today.

The idea here is that many people need vision correction or vision aid. It’s a worldwide epidemic in its own right and that just means thousands of people across the globe wear spectacles. And what was ...

What's Holistic anyway?

Are you puzzled by the word Holistic? You see it everywhere, almost as though it were a prefix/adjective to every single noun out there– Holistic Medicine, Holistic Food, Holistic Nutrients, Holistic Interior Design...the list is endless. But what exactly does it mean?

Honestly I used to think it was just about using everything natural – you know all without added chemicals etc but instead turning to herbs, plants, flowers (basically all things botanical) for the solution. But one thing got me thinking, if Holistic ...

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 ...

Eco-Safe Cribs for Baby

I’m not quite sure if dreams are symbolic, a trick of the mind or simply a hint at the future that is about to unfold, but one thing that is for sure, dreams are powerful drivers of emotions. I mean think about it, if you had a great dream then you awaken all fresh and energized, but if you had a bad dream then you find yourself waking up to a very tired body and restless mind.

Well regardless, dreams are personal and very few would bother to share them. I on the other hand feel a need to share my dream – I was pregnant ...

Fighting to keep clothes white

It’s the last day of the year and I was right, till the end this truly truly is a crummy year.

Herbal digestive remedy

A couple of days ago, we wrote about the merry act of drinking ( too much that is) with the leftover effect of nasty hangovers and the wonderful little natural helpers that exist in our very own kitchen to counter it. Well if you read that then thought to yourself I don’t drink so this festive drawback won’t apply to me, great...but what about the other festive drawback? You know the one that’s the result of overindulging in the tempting scrumptious/ sinful delicacies ...
