The latest trial results are in. The Little Takas testing panel have been scrutinising these little gems for the past couple of months. All panel members stated that they would use these nappies again and recommend them to friends. The main points of difference with these nappies was the soft texture and fit, particularly around the legs. So if you are interested in these eco disposable nappies check out what the testers had to say about Little Takas.

Little Takas Nappies Review
January 20th, 2011Eco Friendly Halloween
October 15th, 2010
Halloween as a kid was very exciting. Dressing up in scary costumes, staying up late, making lanterns, and gorging on the haul of treats collected. Living in a neighbourhood full of kids its obligatory to get involved again. The shops are full of cheap plastic masks, costumes and accessories at this time of year. But there are great ways of creating a truly green halloween (and also staying on track with the Salvos ‘Buy Nothing New Month’).
Eco Renovation – Tentative First Steps
May 21st, 2010
Its long been a dream to get stuck into an eco-renovation. In reality it is a bit mind boggling especially when you have no experience of design, building or architecture.
A key concern is the cost of going green. Everyone knows that creating a sustainable home will lead to long term cost savings (we are talking pocket here as well as environment). But this has to be weighed up against how long you will live in the house and how much the bank manager will lend you. I’ve been doodling some ideas for weeks now, and its time to get serious. So I took myself off to the Sydney Home Show for some eco-renovation inspiration.
Eco Beauty Product Trial – Haircare
May 20th, 2010
With all the marketing its difficult to determine exactly how natural some ‘natural’ beauty products really are. And how do you rationalise the environmental costs associated with transporting these ‘natural’ or ‘eco’ products vast distances? Balancing performance with environmental credentials is not easy. That is why Unico hair products are unique. As well as containing natural ingredients, these products are Australian made and owned, and have been designed with the unique requirements of our harsh Australian climate in mind. We’ve got a selection of Unico’s shampoos and conditioners for our panel to try out.
Aveeno Trial Panel Feedback
March 19th, 2010
I was so excited to be chosen to take part in the Aveeno trial! This trial came at the perfect time for me, as I am currently going through the process “greening” my life and home, including my skincare routine, so I was keen to try the Aveeno Active Naturals range. Find out what else Amelia had to say about her experience on the product trial panel.
Aveeno Trial Results
March 4th, 2010
The Green Beings panel has just completed the two week trial of Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturising Lotion and Positively Radiant. Being a beauty product aimed at moisturising and evening skin tone, it requires you to spend some time in front of the mirror to try to see if it has benefited your skin. It means getting acquainted with new wrinkles, or as I prefer to call them ‘life experience features’. Anyway, we had some fantastic feedback from our pampered panel. So find out how they got on.
Eco Innovators – Cushie Tushies
December 16th, 2009
Modern cloth nappies are fantastic, I’m a big fan. What makes these so good is that they are ‘one size fits all’ which means you don’t have to replace them as your baby grows, keeping the costs down. Like all businesses this one started out small, with the founder Shell Fowler initially making her nappies for friends and family, and then the word spread. Here we find out how two passionate Australian mums came up with the idea for these modern cloth eco-nappies and why they got into the baby bum business.
National Vegetarian Week – Ness’s Diary
October 7th, 2009
National vegetarian week kicked off on 28th September, but I started on 6th October…better late than never hey? Ok, so I’m feeling slightly guilty about re-scheduling my vego week… but it was for a worthy cause in the name of an unrestricted dining and shopping spree as I was visiting my li’l sister.
All that wining and dining has actually worked to my advantage, as I began this week seriously craving veggies!
