New Etsy listing

I utilised everything that can be reused in  making costume jewellery. Nothing is wasted. If it looks good and feels comfortable, (i.e. not heavy, sharp uncomfortable and lumpy). Most importantly if my piece looks good on the wearer, then i consider my efforts justified.

Small food serving is sustainable

Have you ever been to a function and the food is attractive and appetising, you feel that you would rather look at it than eat it? I did! I went to the Australian National Maritime museum volunteers christmas party 2010 at the Bayside gallery, Darling Harbour. The view was absolutely stunning, the people I sat with, Mr & Mrs Flavin, were charming and interesting, (who also happened to win one of the door prizes, courtesy of Captain Cook cruises), and that memorably and finally, the food was divine. I think that when it comes to the aesthetics of food presentation, it is the plating in regards to colour and plate that appeals to the eye and the nose is the key. It certainly was not disappointing to the tongue as well. 


It is very good business in the hospitality industry, particularly in restaurants to provide good wholesome food in small portions. This will assist weight loss for customers who are trying to lose weight and help the profit margins of struggling establishments. It is thereby necessary that what little there is to eat must not only be satisfying to the palate but must also be balanced in terms of nutrients. I like the fact that the offerings at the function was in small portions but taken together including the mains is delicious and healthy. The food was free so, I have not had a chance to quibble on price.

FRESH WATER (Image provided by treehugger.com all copyrights reserved)

Freshwater is not only the most valuable resource in the future but also right here and now. Australians today buy expensive and wasteful bottled water arguably more than any country in the world.
Find out more and see the Powerhouse museum exhibition or click on the above teacher's resource link.
You only have to visit any convenience stores springing up all over Sydney and see how many brands there are on offer but that's not my point. It stands to reason why green business should try to manage our fresh water supply while it is the rainy season (the wettest year since 1959).
