Zoos Victoria Guide to a Palm Oil free Easter

This will be a very short post, and mainly geared to the Australian consumers.  This guide: http://www.zoo.org.au/palmoil/easter, kindly collated by Zoos Victoria, will let you know whether unsustainable palm oil is in your favourite Easter treats.  Use their chart to make the better choice for Orang-utans this year and support manufacturers and stores who either use certified sustainable palm oil or no palm oil at all.

Sseko Designs

From one shoe blog to another…  For Christmas I was given Sseko sandals.  These sandals are made by women in Uganda working to fund their college educations.  More ethical shopping!  In addition to helping marginalised women and promoting education, the sandals are fun and unique.  They are sold as bases and sets of straps, and the website has many videos showing you different ways to tie on your sandals.  You can make them casual or dressy, and they even have a wedding range.  I've got three sets of straps (two chiffon and one classic) and the rectangle sandal accessory.

So check out Sseko designs--they have handbags and scarves as well.  They ship internationally from the US for a rather low rate.
