I’m sure you’ll agree when I say that there are very care products out there that don’t have a perfect little place in some person’s home. Where there’s a need, some company has gone and filled (for the most part, anyway) it. The operant word in that previous sentence being need. Because somehow, at some point that [...]

There are few things in the world, least of all films, which begin, middle and end awe-inspiringly. Yet, as surprised as I was, Yann Arthur-Bertrand’s 2009 Film ‘Home‘ did just that, and without seeming like they were trying, to boot. When I first stumbled upon Home I wasn’t enthused to go and watch it. On the [...]

What happens when you have dry skin but want a non-animal-tested hand soap that doesn’t DESTROY the environment? It’s a difficult balance to find, and even the best hand soaps out there have issues. For the past year I’ve been using Ecover to keep my muts clean at home. Sadly, with winter came chapped, dry skin and [...]

Didja know that cheese is mildly addictive? It’s true.

Lover of all things kitchen? Join the club. For me? I love a good appliance. A busty blender. An magnificent mixer. This week: A miniature food processor (“mini chopper”) by the oft-proclaimed master in the kitchen appliance world, Kenwood.

And, at times, something a little more ‘meaty’. It’s not that we have any real desire to eat animals or their products; it’s the texture, the taste, the associations. Now, of [...]

You know, sometimes I get real tired of cheap TV-based escapism. I mean,TV is fine for a while. But, just between you and me, I get pretty tired of watching predictable storylines and un-original content which I could find on 7 other channels. So, being a typical man, I decided to return to my computer-game playing roots [...]

Violence UnSilenced: How the power of an online community can heal, nourish and support the soul of the abused.

I have a dirty secret to admit to you. I don’t really like tofu all that much. Sure, it can be okay if you do it nicely, and it can go with some things. But usually? It suffers from blandular fever, and before I know it, I’ve got two slices of bread with one big slab of [...]

Matt has a good natter about his latest favourite album, Music of the Spheres and why it slightly links to veganism.
