Just for You...

What a summer we had - severe drought, devastating bushfires, heavy rains and floods.  It's been so heartbreaking to see but hopefully, we will have a reprieve for a while at least.   Temperatures and humidity have been through the roof here in SE Queensland so looking forward to some slightly cooler weather as Autumn progresses. 

 

You may have noticed that I'm not blogging weekly anymore.  I've had to make my health and PhD studies my top priorities at present.  I've just moved into part-time study at university so that I can adjust to my Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) lifestyle and reduce my stress levels.  So for at least the next 12 months, blogs will be written and posted every 2-3 weeks.  I'll still be active on Facebook (@ethicallifeau) and Instagram (ethical_life_au) if you want to catch up with the latest news.

 

I've been really getting into Sally Obermeder & Maha Crobett's "Super Green - Super Easy" cookbook this summer.  There are some amazing recipes like Spiced Cinnamon Fruit Bake, Easy Italian Eggs, and Berry Yum Fro Yo.  The book costs around $15 and is available at KMart and online bookstores.  Definitely worth the money for fabulous food that's good for  you!

THE PRICE OF SUGAR:  This documentary is about the exploitation of Haitian people who were victims of indentured slavery in sugar plantations across the Dominion Republic.  It focuses on how a Spanish priest spent 10 years of his life helping free these people.  It's available for free on YouTube on the link below.  

Well that's about it for now.  We do hope you are well and that life is being good to you.  Until next time,

I'm feeling extremely blessed. Yesterday I received a parcel addressed to Mummy Bear. Inside was this beautiful necklace - a sixpence dated the year of my birth & inscribed with love from my children. I will treasure this forever x

Q & A: What is Slavery?

Ethical Fashion: Denim Jeans

We all love wearing denim jeans right? But are all denim jeans made ethically, fairly and free from slave labour? Let's see but first, did you know that historically slavery has been linked to denim jeans?

The time to prepare for Christmas 2020 is now!

Ooohhh, I can hear you screaming from here! I know here it is mid-January and Easter Eggs are already on sale in the supermarkets! Seriously? Seriously! Still, that's no reason to hide our heads in the Easter basket and forget about all those things we said we'd do differently next Christmas.
