OMG – CHRISTMAS IS NEARLY HERE! I NEED HELP TO GET ECO-FRIENDLY GIFTS

I know I am saying it again, but where has this year gone? If you are like me, you have been too busy to think about Christmas, and yet it is only a few weeks away. Yikes! I thought I better get my act together and started buying some presents this weekend, but the problem I have run into is what to get everyone? I’m sure I am not the only person who has this problem. So I started looking into what presents can I get that are either eco friendly, ethical and/or support devel

IT’S SPRING AND IT’S TIME TO DETOX …HOW TO CLEAN YOUR LAUNDRY AND MAKE IT MORE ECO-FRIENDLY

Like the kitchen and the bathroom, the laundry is another area that needs Spring cleaning. For many the first thing that comes to mind is all the detergents and chemicals lurking in your cupboard, but you may be surprised there are a few other changes when washing clothes that can make a huge difference, particularly if everyone takes these steps. Use an Energy efficient Washer Control the Temperature: If you need a new washer, look at getting an energy efficient model. Make

IT’S SPRING AND IT’S TIME TO DETOX …HOW TO CLEAN YOUR KITCHEN AND MAKE IT MORE ECO-FRIENDLY

So, how are you this week? Getting some of your Spring cleaning done? Well, this article might help you a bit. Following on from our discussions last week on detoxing your bathroom, I thought we should have a look at another important room – the kitchen. In most homes, the kitchen is the heart of the home. It is where we prepare food, eat, entertain and clean up. With this comes the use of cleaners and utensils to keep this area in order, but often people don’t realise the am

CERTIFICATION - WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

You may have noticed that there are lots of symbols and logos out there, but when it comes to choosing a sustainable, eco-friendly or organic product, what do they mean? It can get very confusing when you are trying to buy such products. I know, because when I first became conscious of the items we were buying, I started to pull my hair out trying to figure it all out. Like me, I am sure you are trying to buy more natural eco-friendly products, but often are worried that the

YOU SHOULD REALLY THINK ABOUT BUYING SEASONAL FOOD

Head to your local Supermarket and I bet you will find an abundance of fruit and veg, many not in season. Nowadays, technologies will make it possible fоr uѕ tо hаvе strawberries during wintеr and even the odd mango, but many scientists will tell you that we need tо avoid them. And here is why: If you buy seasonal vegetables and fruit, you already know that the nutrient levels are at their highest when just harvested and it'ѕ not surprising that the nutrient value goes down s

LET’S COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS, NOT RESOLUTIONS TO BE MORE GREEN IN 2019

How are you feeling now that Christmas and the party season is behind us? I am guessing some of you are a bit weary, trying to think what activities can keep the kids amused while they are on summer break. As we celebrated the New Year you can decide to make some changes today. They don't all have to start today, later on is fine. It is all about making baby steps so that you can stick to it. So instead of telling you have to make dramatic changes in your life, here are a fe

NATURAL PESTICIDES THAT YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF

Spring is here and I love getting out into the garden, seeing all the new growth and colours. The warmer days bring lots of growth, but also many insects and pests. These can be a source of frustration, especially when I am trying to get my new plants to grow, while still maintaining older plants. There are many pesticides out there, but as you know many are not only kill pests, but can be very harmful to us. Also, some of these pesticides contain chemicals that get washed in

I’M NOT DREAMING WHEN I SAY WE CAN HAVE A WORLD USING RENEWABLE RESOURCES

As you can imagine, I follow a number of sites that promote sustainability or environmentally friendly activities. I get very excited when I see communities, governments and countries making steps the right direction. So often we hear about how we are damaging the environment, but I get a sense that there are a number of people who are making huge efforts to bring change. So instead of saying we can’t do anything, it is all too hard, we can look to what others have done and f

How are you feeling now that Christmas and the party season is behind us? If I am anything to go by you are possibly a bit weary, and trying to think what other activities can keep the kids amused while they are on summer break. For my friends and family in the northern hemisphere, yes we are in the middle of the Australian summer and yes, it is hot! I was going to write a piece at the beginning of the New Year about resolutions, but so many people advise us about making res

COCONUT – IS IT A SUPER FOOD?

So why is there so much talk about coconut? Is it really good for us or is this another trend that marketers are spruiking currently. Well, actually there is scientific evidence that has demonstrated the health benefits of coconut oil (but the jury is still out on the coconut water). Like me, I’m sure you are interested to know what the health benefits of coconut are and should you start using it. Well, here are some of the benefits: Increased energy - Most fats are stored in

HOW TO USE COCONUT OIL …MAKE A HEALTHY CHOCCY CAKE

The weekend is here and I love nothing better than baking a cake for the family. It is an indulgence, but in recent years we have learned to be more careful with what we eat (Richard, my husband has type 2 diabetes). Finding cake recipes that are healthy can be hard to find, but I found a recipe some time ago that covers that. This is when I learned to use Coconut oil. Studies have found that coconut oil protects against insulin resistance, reducing the risk of type 2 diabete

WHY EARTHLY PASSION LOVES BAMBOO

You probably wondering why there is so much talk about Bamboo. Up to now, cotton has been one of the most popular fibres for clothing and bedding, but there has been a change away from this natural fibre. So, I thought I better explain why we love bamboo. Do you realise how many chemicals are used in the growing process of cotton? And that some of the most harmful pesticides used on cotton are either suspected or confirmed carcinogens (cancer causing). Not only that, but cott
