Hire a hot tub and screen movies in your backyard with help from Tubflix

28 Jul 2021

After a particularly dry spell of theatrical releases in 2020, we are welcoming the return of the cinema experience in 2021. How we watch our movies has slightly changed though, with many of us preferring to stream films from the comfort of the couch or even going through our old DVD collections to rewatch classics of times past. If you're looking to spice up your viewing escapades, we have stumbled upon an entirely new film experience called Tubflix. Far from your average movie outing, this hot-tub cinema gets delivered straight to your backyard. more

Elastic fantastic – be kind to your hair, skin and nails with be. collagen supplement

21 Jul 2021

We hope you're sitting down, folks, as we are about to give you a quick lesson on an all-important structural protein – collagen. For those not in the know, collagen is the protein in our bodies that forms the building blocks of bones, skin, muscles and just about everything in between. As we get older our stocks of natural collagen plummet, meaning more wrinkles and weaker muscles (ah, the joys of ageing). That's where new collagen supplement be. comes in. One spoonful of this stuff a day is said to increase your strength and your overall wellbeing. more

Plastic not-so-fantastic – ways to help you reduce your plastic reliance this July

30 Jun 2021

Plastic has emerged as one of the greatest man-made environmental disasters of our time. Synthetic pliable polymers made from petrol have transformed the way we live – it's cheap to produce and long-lasting. Unfortunately for planet Earth, it is those very attributes that have cursed the eco-system as nearly every single piece of plastic ever created still exists in some form today. It has infiltrated every aspect of modern life – from the devices we are using to bring you this article to the cars we drive, the bottles that house our shampoos and cleaning products to the cling film that is keeping your lunch fresh in the fridge – it's all plastic and it will outlive you by a few hundred years. In a perfect world we would all pledge to go plastic-free for good, however, the reality is that it may not be possible to do all at once. Anne Marie Bonneau aka The Zero Waste Chef said it… more

Plastic not so fantastic – Australia to phase out a bunch of single-use plastic items by 2025

Contrary to what Aqua says, life in plastic is not so fantastic. In fact, single-use plastics suck. After just one go, they end up in landfill or even worse ... the ocean. Thankfully, the war on waste is ramping up, friends, and Australia is starting to do its bit at cleaning up its mess. This includes a decision to ban a bevy of single-use plastic items by 2025.
