Ethical baby products

Beaming Baby is a rather ethical UK company that stocks baby related products from nappies and nappy rash cream to pregnancy products and organic toothpaste.  We use Beaming Baby nappies and they are the most ethical disposable available in the UK.  Pretty good for babies' bottoms too.  They also stock lovely organic Weleda products.  I like Beaming Baby.  They donate to charity, they work to minimise carbon emissions and they are certified organic.  Pretty cool planet loving stuff.  Check these guys out http://www.beamingbaby.co.uk/

Thoughts by the Renegade Glitter Fairy: Be an ethical consumer

via Items for sale Alsager: with The LOVED Before Store http://1974haze.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/be-ethical-consumer.html

Be an ethical consumer

Eco shopping is pretty easy these days.  The Internet is packed full of websites that are or claim to be ethical. You buy products that are ethically made, products made from recycled materials, you can buy second-hand and vintage, you can buy products from online charity shops and purchase ethically sourced, charity donatable flowers - the list goes on and on.  So how does the ethically minded consumer, consume and remain on the right side of ethical? Moreover, how does the ethical consumer negotiate the array of options when time is short and the money pile is even shorter?  It isn't easy.  Thus I'm sharing a little consumer map which should help the budding buyer find their way through the ethical shopping mind-field and emerge at the check-out relatively unscathed.

Buy from trusted spaces
This applies for any purchase.  Don't buy from a website that is unfamiliar, has no secure framework ie https, key encryption and / or Paypal.  You could end up giving your money away.

Check the websites About Section
What products does it sell, who are the people behind the site and what are their ethics.  Just because the website says it's ethical, doesn't mean it is.

Buy Second-hand
Buying second-hand items is obviously ethical.  Firstly, it means new manufacturing hasn't occurred - this is a good thing.  Secondly, it uses something that already exists, protecting it from being land-filled.  Second-hand also has human rights linked benefits - if something isn't newly manufactured, it hasn't been made in a sweat shop just because you want to buy it.  Admittedly, the item in question could have previously been produced under unethical circumstances - e.g. a second-hand skirt bought via a charity shop that was originally made for Primark has been made unethically, possibly by children in poor and unsafe working conditions but because the item is second-hand, you, the consumer has not contributed to the unethical production chain.  I hope that makes sense, it is rather difficult to grasp and definitely difficult to describe.

Buy items made from up-cycled, recycled, re-claimed materials
There are lots of products now that are made from recycled materials.  This is generally a very good thing but a note of caution, any new product, contributes to C02 production, is possibly linked to poor human rights and may have a direct, negative impact upon a countries' physical environment.  However, there is a stronger possibility that a company who creates a product from recycled, up-cycled or re-claimed materials will have a viable ethical framework in place.  Check the websites About section.  Check where the product has been made.  For example, products made in China are not ethical.  Even up-cycled and recycled products.  China has a history of appalling human rights, continues to persecute and control Tibet and generates a huge amount of pollution.  Although there are reports that China are making some headway with pollution.

Don't be a slave to consumption
Question purchasing decisions.  Do I need this product?  Why do I want to buy it?  Is the product durable? Is it fit for purpose? Can I fix it if it breaks? Can I afford to buy it?  It seems that people buy items in the Western world that they do not need, want long-term and, most importantly, that they cannot afford.  People are sucked into the idea that they can and indeed deserve to buy now, pay later.  The effort = reward partnership is largely obsolete in modern, Western society.  By that I mean, as a general pattern, a consumer can purchase a range of products - beyond their current financial means.  Thus the reward comes before the effort. The process of saving money then buying something to reward that effort seems all too rare.  This is shame.  It's actually much more exciting when effort = reward.  The purchased items matters more when effort has been expended to get it.  Moreover, life can and indeed should be rather wonderful without a new pair of shoes or an expensive holiday abroad.  It can be wonderfully rewarding just to stop and smell the flowers. To enjoy life.  To notice life.  Much pleasure can be gained from the smallest things, without spending a penny.  That said, the Western world is epitomised by capitalism and it is difficult to see an end consumerism.  Treats often seems to have a price tag attached.  But it does make sense to take your time and think before you buy.

Buy from friends and family
Help your loved ones out by buying products and services from them. If you know someone that has their own business - support it.  They will thank you for it and respond in kind.

Buy local
There is little point buying a recycled chair that has traveled half way around the world to get your dining room.  That said, it is also good to support Fair Trade and community projects - as doing so helps communities pull themselves out of poverty.  But the point it is, to question your decision.  Think before your buy.

Most of all consider the Butterfly Effect - the decision you make now will have consequences rippling across the globe. This sounds like an exaggeration but it isn't. This applies to all things, not just shopping.  For example, if I stop sharing the work of Oxfam and cease encouraging friends on Facebook to buy Xmas presents from Oxfam, this will mean that less people have the power to fight against poverty.  The Butterfly Effect matters and we, the people, have the power to changes things in positive ways.

This book needs to be removed from print and kindle.  It promotes child abuse.  Actually encourages violence against children.  As if this is okay?!

Quote from the book - "A spanking (whipping, paddling, switching, belting) is indispensable to the removal of guilt in your child. His very conscience (nature) demands punishment."


Incorrect and barbaric.  His / her very nature demands nurture, encouragement and kindness.  Violence is not only cruel but it promotes a cycle of violence.  xx

A J Jenkins - who is he?

Who is A J Jenkins?  This question is regarding the singer of educational children's songs.  There is very little on the Internet about the man himself. We play his songs on a daily basis. My children love them.  I find myself singing Funny Fiona or the B Song rather than tunes of a more grown up variety.  His melodies are magical.  His lyrics educate.  Yet when I search for information, there is quite a lot on the songs, on Kids 123 but precious little on the song maker.  Does anyone out there, in the big world wide web have any information?  He is like Zoro and I want to peek behind the mask.

Expanded Consciousness: The man who lives without money

via Items for sale Alsager: with The LOVED Before Store http://expanded--consciousness.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-man-who-lives-without-money_15.html?spref=fb

The man in the article linked above, lives entirely without money.  Amazing.  Probably tricky to do if you have children but even then, I imagine you could take steps towards it.  The Western world has become very materialistic.  As this article states, we are now totally removed from and oblivious to the process of our consumerism.  We consume blindly, without consideration to what hides within.  What has truly gone into the product we are holding? Who has died for it? Who has suffered for it? How much planetary damage has been caused through making the product.  This man's life is not mediated by the shopping trolley.  He is living directly. He says he is happy.  It sounds good to me.  xx

Barista - aeeeya

http://www.indeed.co.uk/cmp/Starbucks/jobs/Barista-f117a14bfae95cba

I saw an advert for Starbucks Barista on a recruitment website. This made me smile much. I wonder what a Barista is.....The Starbucks Barista. Is this like totally a Barrister but more street? Aeeeya - big up yourself. Yeah, Im a Barista, I like totally do legal stuff and ting.

This may be just my odd sense of humour but I chuckled to myself as the Barista idea unfolded.

Random art

Something I created in long ago times.  I think I was about 17.  If I was making a statement, it was probably full of angst and confusion.  More than likely though, Id been watching too many trippy videos and staring at too many magic eye prints.



Music art: Gaga

Music is art and art is music. I suppose all creative expression might be art.  I am going somewhere with this.  Promise. I was thinking today about Lady Gaga and other popular music 'artists' like her.  Assuming that we can say that anyone is like Gaga.  Madonna maybe.  Anyway, most popular music artists have a style, indeed they are styled.  They employ people to style them or they style themselves with paid for guidance.  But for some, it seems more than styled, for some the way they look in a public arena seems to be art.  Self art, if you will.  For example, if you Google Gaga (ha), almost every picture of her seems to make a statement of some kind.  It isn't always clear what that statement is but visually speaking, she is saying something.

For example, check out the image below.  Gaga is holding her, ahem, boobs and a huge blue ball sits between her legs.  I have no clue what statement is being made but I guess at something sexual / metrosexual.


The image below is rather scary. Maybe it was her Halloween guise.  Spooky.


The next image is erm interesting.  Suggesting a machine-human symbiosis perhaps? Or maybe just a naked lady sitting on a uncomfortable chair for the purposes of selling records.



In the final image below, we see Gaga wearing strange pyramid sculpture shoulder pads.  Homage to Madonna's pointy boobs perhaps?  There are those that would suggest that the pyramids point (tee hee) to Illuminati origins. Who knows.  Either way, it's an interesting choice of outfit.




Yes Gaga is definitely more than styled.  She is art.  Moreover she is odd art.  I find myself wondering what her fans buy into.  I feel it's more than the music. They buy into the whole package.  The visual, the carefully packaged 'attitude', the controversy and so on.  If Gaga just presented music alone, it would probably be Ga-who not Gaga.  No one would have a clue who she was without the self-art stuff.  As things stand, I think even my parents have heard of Lady Gaga.  Im not sure that they could whistle one of her tunes though.

The Gaga package and other pop packages, makes me wonder if it is impossible to have the music without image.  Perhaps in order to achieve super music orientated fame, you must become a sort of conceptual art or at least be superstyled with attitude.............

Thoughts by the Renegade Glitter Fairy: Preloved versus Ebay

via Items for sale Alsager: with The LOVED Before Store http://1974haze.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/preloved-versus-ebay.html

Preloved versus Ebay

For the most part, I feel forced to use Ebay.  It's the choice of no choice.  Ebay has huge reach. The site dominates the sales of the virtual world. Well, it does so, alongside the likes of Amazon.  They have a huge usership.  Indeed when you think buy it online, you think, head to Ebay.  It is synonymous with shopping online.  Paypal, which is owned by Ebay, is much the same. Yet, problematically, the 'person' who make the most, when a seller sells via Ebay / Paypal, is Ebay / Paypal and to a lesser extent, the parcel delivery company.  In particular, if you sell something for 99p, the amount you, the seller makes, is tiny.  Whereas when Ebay / Paypal add up all the millions and millions of 40 pences, they reach millions of pounds.

So, it seems to me, that it would be better for the little people, if the big people, the likes of Ebay and friends, didnt charge for using their site but instead charged advertisers.  Facebook do this.  Preloved do it too.  You, the small-scale seller, can sell on Preloved for free. There are no hidden extras, it is just free. You can pay for adverts, if you can afford that kind of thing but you can sell without spending a penny.  Sadly, their reach is nothing like that of Ebay.  It seems that, you are more likely to make a sale on Ebay because it is so well-used.  Yet, we, the people, can change this.  We can use Preloved rather than Ebay.  We can shout about it.  We can totally ignore Ebay as sellers, which would mean buyers would avoid it too. If there is nothing to buy, you go elsewhere.

So, in short, I, as a low-level seller of things I already on own, implore the buying masses to buy via Preloved.  Collectively, we can ignore Ebay and their over-sized, power of three charges and support websites like Preloved.

Note - Ebay now own Gumtree too.  It is getting harder to sell on their for free.

I find it immensely annoying that big business gets bigger and the little people, get pushed further and further into struggle.  The politicians, the multinationals, the organisations with their over-sized fingers in too many pies seem to dominate the world yet hunger, poverty, poverty-led disease continues.  I think, in these times, we should not experience extreme poverty.  Yes, unless we transcend to some kind of impossible Utopian world, where all are truly equal, there will always be richer and poorer but the gulf, the gap needs to lessen significantly.  The juxtaposition of the shanty town bordering the high-rise uber rich apartment block that can be seen in many countries across the globe underlines the extremity of extreme rich and extreme poor.  In the UK, we see similar juxtapositions but the gulf is smaller than those that may be seen in Rio de janeiro, for example.

I feel, as a global society, we must do more to narrow the gap between rich and poor.  These things can only be achieved by collective action.  Organisations like Amnesty International, Oxfam, Save the children, WWF, FOE and others serve global society to reduce the severity of poverty.  They work to promote the welfare of people, animals and the physical environment.  I am going to share the work of these organisations and take steps, albeit tiny, individual steps, to change the world.  Tiny steps, en-mass, make a big, positive, world-changing footprints.  Society is not static, it evolves,  Many things contribute to societal evolution.  But most of all, we, the people, make society what it is.  We can change the world.
