How to reduce your carbon footprint with refillable products

Display of lines of large jugs in The Keep Refillery, a Toronto store that sells personal care and home products in refillable containers to reduce their carbon footprint and packaging waste.

When it launched in 1976 in Brighton, England, The Body Shop seemed like a ground-breaking retail concept, which was to sell shampoos, bodywashes, and other personal care items in refillable …

Did you know that today is International Eat Cake in Bed Day? At the World Headquarters of #AroundtheHouse that means anyone who worked on Friday gets Monday off to celebrate as well - hence, a long #weekend.

Plus a #cake budget. And #paidtimeoff to plan a playlist, if desired. These credits may be transferred to another paid day off in lieu.

New #bedlinen may also be allocated through a Staff Support fund.

The benefit is available to ALL members of our #globalpublishingteam. Naturally.

Seriously dyk about this holiday?

Pic now, more details soon.

For now, marvel at this quietly arresting example of modern Finnish large-scale wood architecture from Anttinen Oiva Architects.

Part of a revamp of the old port of Helsinki, it's very demure, very Nordic.

The pictures I looked at made me think of obscure, arty movies made in the 70s, preferably with Glenda Jackson wearing a leather trench.

When you think of it, there was more than a touch of Nordic structure to the magnificent GJ, who I once say play Hedda Gabler btw. Brilliant brilliant actor.

As I say, more soon on Around the House. Just had to show this pic to my millions and millions and millions of worldwide fans. Isn't it lovely?

If you are in Minden and need a lil prezzie for a friend or a lil treat for yourself, I highly recommend dropping by @thewolfmoonshop.

This handmade card by @holly_hutchison_art is so lovely I might just have to send it to myself. But then, wouldn't I also have to gift myself the cute socks, given I bought them with the intention of gifting?

The only logical answer is yes, naturally.

The card is a mini alcohol print that slides out of its card for framing. Inside it's blank so you can add your own message.

If you are out there now thinking damn, I wish I was going to be the one to get those darling but inexpensive Sheer Fruits socks from Minden's prettiest store, don't worry - I got two more pairs of socks and another card to serve in just such a case.

This is why I am world-renowned for my critical thinking skills.
