  • Beauty and the (non-biodegradable-packaging) Beast

    Posted Nov 04, 2016 by Guru NewYork

    Many of us like to look pretty schmick while saving the World. Which is why from time to time (or for many of us all the time) we gravitate to beauty products and make-up items to give us that little bit of style-oomph we crave. When it comes to fashion items it can be pretty easy to say no to excess packaging by refusing the carry bag or asking companies to pack your items in biodegradable post options. Sadly it’s a whole lot more difficult to ask for your super black mascara sans packaging. One wouldn’t approach the local M.A.C cosmetics counter with a request for ‘Ruby Woo’ without the lipstick tube without causing a serious amount of confusion.  However there are some little beauty tips and some brands that you might be surprised to learn about that will help you work towards a more environmentally friendly beauty regime

  • The case for taking linen to the tropics

    Posted Aug 16, 2016 by Guru NewYork

    Now, apparently linen has some magic built-in anti-bacterial powers as well as a certain level of water divergent properties. I’ve witnessed the latter in light rain showers on my linen jacket – you can see water beading and rolling off as if you were wearing Gore-Tex. As we were planning to visit the tropics during the changeover to the rainy season I thought I’d give linen a proper try out myself.

  • A slow clothing approach.

    Posted Aug 15, 2016 by Guru NewYork

    “In the same way we have become conscious of what we eat and want to know more about cooking and growing food, we are becoming more curious about what we wear – where clothes come from, the fibers they are made with, and where they go when we shed them,” she said.

  • Upcycling activism – Cathy Stuart

    Posted Aug 14, 2016 by Guru NewYork

    Cathy is increasingly disturbed by the new ‘normal’ in how our society of planned and perceived obsolescence operates, driving totally unsustainable levels of consumption. “We are somehow lulled into believing that this is the only way our economy and therefore society can survive. I worry about the world my teenage daughters are growing up in, where cheap fashion is close to worthless one season after it is bought, and op shops are even now struggling to cope with the deluge of clothing and homewares they receive,” she said.
