Spotlight On: StreetSmart Australia – Dine Smart

Today I wanted to talk about an organisation I think is doing some amazing work – Street Smart Australia – and in particular their current fundraising campaign, Dine Smart.

Spotlight On: Who Gives A Crap

The topic of today’s post is a little different to what I usually write about, but today I want to talk about toilet paper. Specifically, Who Gives A Crap’s toilet paper.

Spotlight On: 1Skin Solution

Many of their products are vegan and they are a certified cruelty free brand. They also offer free shipping within Australia – perfect!

Pana Chocolate are a company that makes raw, organic, vegan, handmade chocolate that is super delicious.

Spotlight On: Original & Mineral

This is the third instalment of my series profiling brands I love that are doing great things with natural, planet friendly products. Today the focus is on Original & Mineral (or O&M as they seem to be known!) which is an Australian brand selling hair products that are all free of ammonia and other nasties, whilst still being salon quality. In fact, the brand started in an Australian salon and the products including dyes, shampoos, conditioners and styling products are used in salons across Australia. Luckily, they are also available for purchase to be used at home!
