Lost not Found...
Damn I'm so stuck!!!
Living in Joburg is a nightmare! Don't get me wrong i love the city life but it doesn't allow me to be "green" in more ways then one!!!
I'm on a mission to find "green" clothing........so the organic way is where to go, so i've searched and searched and all i could find was a organic market in Bryanstan and one place in Meyerton that sells Hemp material (which is kinda funny because Meyerton was where i went to Primary School....I was actually head girl there, Weird huh!) Oh and 2 designers that are in Fourways...Fundudzi and Lunar.
So basically my options are wear hemp outfits that are handmade, pay a fortune for a South African designer to cover my butt or dress like a hippie from the flea market! ARG:(
I mean this is ridiculous that the only options out there in South Africa is not here in Joburg! Things must change...What a animal and earth fighting girl to do?
Ok so enough complaining, what i did find that i'm uber excited about is a whole store that is fulled only with Vegan friendly products! F.Y.I a product is classified as "vegan" when it has no products of an animal in it, nor has it been tested on animals for the last 5 yrs and will not follow to test on animals.
Then there are products that are organic which will only be classified as that with certain ingrediants (if you may call it that)being checked....check on my blog for the list.
Through out this whole search it's surprising that as consumers we don't realize how much poo we are getting instead of a decent product that we are promised!
Any who i'm super excited about this store...you have to buy it online ofcourse unless you want to travel FAR in order to get your vegan friendly underarm roll on. But the cool thing is that if you don't have a credit card you can just go and deposit the money into their account!
I'll definatly keep you up to date with the purchasing of the product there, infact i'll even let you know about the products i buy...
*JUST FOR THE GIRLS* Did you know that tampons and pads have chemicals in it to make it super white and that those chemicals slowly get released into your body!!! I totally freaked when i heard this, Alicia Silverstone even commented. Well thats what started my search and now i've found at that store FAITHFULL TO NATURE they have organic cotton applicator and non tampons plus winged an non winged pads, cool huh.
So to check out this store go to: http://www.faithful-to-nature.co.za/

Pushing the Passion....
This weekend that just passed, my boyfriend and i had our first house warming...
I served this punch and everybody loved it...i really mean loved it, two punch bowls later and 9 people still going.
Not only did i make my friends take off their shoes at the door (which is not a custom in South Africa) but i also made them stick to the rule of "If it's yellow let it mellow and if it's brown flush it down".
Ok so they may have thought i was mad but my boyfriend and i like to save water as i said to them, it's a precious resource and if we flushed each time everyone someone went think about how much water we would waste, plus keep in mind the punch quota.
As for the shoes, i'm not obsest with the clean house sinario but i do feel that my house is a home and that in order to walk around with a group of people with no shoes on, it kind of creates a pleasent harmonic feeling all round.
We played shirades which involved alot of strange guessing and damn i minds wondered...definatley was the punch.
So i gave everyone a letter that included a few pics and information about animal testing...and i was so nervous that they wouldn't be responsive!
But WOOHOO they were so in on it...they even said that they would each show one person, that means that in one night i already informed 18 people about animal testing and the companys that test!!!
I really hope this goes far....it's my new found passion to help out the animals that are getting tested on! I want to give them a voice...
It's so strange, it's like i woke up one day and just got sickend by whats going on...i now have changed all my products in the house with others tha don't test on animals(and damn was that hard, South Africa doesn't really have a huge Organic, non testing variety)
The site that i found all the details is http://search.caringconsumer.com/
I did write up the ones only that are avaliable in South Africa ....how ever since this blog reaches people from all over the world i figured that it would be better to give the web address.
I want to do more by helping but i'm stuck with idea's as a part time South African against animal testing jobs...If any one knows of anything, please can you let me know.
