I mean how many times have we noticed insects to be more than just insects?
Well today in honour our beloved and irreplaceable champions of eco-sustainability, I thought I’d dedicate a post to the unsung heroes and often neglected little defenders of Mother Nature- the busy bees….
So why are bees important? Aside from being the very creatures that allow for us to indulge in the eco friendly practice of
And since it is Christmas time, some of you might be considering buying some organic baby clothes as gifts. But if you think that a practical gift may be a bit of a bore and you’d like to dress the idea up, then I’ve got a suggestion for you.
This eco friendly baby gift combines two of my great loves – flowers and practical gifts!
Now for those who already know about this fantastic product range, hush and go along with me...For the others who don’t know about it…allow me to introduce you to ‘
I’m not sure if it’s something to rejoice about or to cry about because truthfully it is a lot of work but it always seems so worth the while once you see all your loved ones gathered together laughing, smiling …enjoying themselves over it.
For those unfamiliar with the kitchen, cooking isn’t just cooking. There are a few steps to go through before that delicious stuffed turkey or handsome meat pie can appear on the dinner table. It isn’t all about mix, mash then dump into the oven.
Basically cooking any meal will take you through the following steps, and in the spirit of green Christmas, I’m going to share with you some simple ways to turn those steps…yes you guessed it! – GREEN!
We do our best to keep dental hygiene but somehow someway the unavoidable happens and we find ourselves ended up with a cracked or fractured tooth. And even if we are fortunate enough to avoid such disasters we still make our faithful bi-annual trips to the dentist.
Which brings me to the question, “Who’s your dentist? Is he Dr. E. Green, as in Eco Green?”
You see these days it isn’t just food or clothes that go green, any business has that potential as long as they are driven to it.
And that inevitably includes dentists because there now comes to exist the Eco Dentistry Association (EDA) who will give them the green stamp of accreditation once they have met the mark.
All that week of planning, setting up, cooking, hosting then now the cleaning, whilst emotionally rewarding can really leave you all worn out with unsightly physical traits like dark circles and sallow skin to show for it.
Well the rich and famous have a remedy for that. They would simply just drop by a luxurious spa to claim their self reward of a relaxing, rejuvenating and invigorating treatment for that job well done. But since the lot of us doesn’t exactly cash in paychecks with as many zeros, that sort of luscious spa treatment after each event might not exactly be something we can lay out hands on without risking the need for a second mortgage…
And who relies on us more to provide for them a safe and comfortable heaven than our children? When you think eco-friendly fashion, don’t just think of how it’s good for the environment, think about how it is also vital to our young ones.
As a parent, your child’s safety and well being is one of your primary concerns. A tender tot’s immunity is very delicate; leaving them very susceptive to chemical/toxic poisoning. They don’t react to poisoning like adults do; they can’t tell you when something is wrong with them. They need you to recognize it for them.
Watching it grow from being the dream of a small dispersed group of individuals to that of a worldwide united front is truly inspiring if not impressive.
Today we have many individuals and organizations that have turned eco warriors, all fighting for that same cause of environmental sustainability with FutureFashion leading the way in the industry.

These days everything is about packaging so food doesn’t just serve to delight the tummy, it’s got to delight the eyes as well. That means the more colours and the brighter they are the better! Which coherently also means more toxic because we’re talking about the use of synthetic food dyes!
Just as in nature where those vibrant coloured frogs are lethal little creatures of the rainforest, well so are the hyper-coloured cupcakes of our concrete jungles.
So for those of us who care about how harmful synthetic food dyes are to our health and that of our loved ones (especially the children- kids are suckers for colours), we’ll go out and make sure we buy bottles of ‘natural and organic’ food dye.
From cakes to cookies, brownies to cupcakes, they all come adorned with the most beautiful decorations, in the fanciest of designs. Gone are the old days when cakes were just round, square or rectangle. These days they are everything you can think of them to be- a moose, a portrait of your father (honestly a bit disturbing to sink your teeth into but that’s just me), a miniscule version of your favourite Prada shoes, a scene of faeries dancing in the woodland’s winds…absolutely anything!
And if the sculpting itself is not enough to take your breath away, just think about the colours! They come in every colour under the sun and in tones brilliantly more vibrant than what could possibly exist in nature!
