7 ways you can help reduce plastic pollution this Earth Day

Mon, 23 Apr 2018 07:37:01 +1200

Today is Earth Day – a chance for us to consider the choices we make and seek out ways to be kinder to the planet and ourselves. Collectively, small changes we each make to the way we live each day make a big difference. 🌏💚🙏🏼

Here are some easy tips to help you reduce single-use plastic and nasties in your home - without compromising style. 🍃

✔️ BYO bag – As local supermarkets gear up to ban plastic bags, there’s no better time to make the switch. Carry a re-usable shopping bag with you so you’re never caught without.

>> Try this Handwoven Net Bag - Metallic Navy/Navy - $147 or shop all re-usable bags

✔️ Coffee lovers – You’d be surprised how many cafes give a discount on coffee when you byo reusable cup.

>> Try this Joco Reusable Cups - from $27 or shop all re-usable drinkware

✔️ H2O on the go – Invest in a quality, bpa-free drink bottle and never buy a plastic water bottle again. Think of all the money you could save.

>> Try a Memobottle from $45 or shop all re-usable drinkware

✔️ Choose bamboo – An easy way to reduce plastic in your life is this everyday item, the toothbrush.

>> Shop wooden toothbrushes

✔️ Food storage – Reusable food wraps are a great way to keep food fresh without the need for glad wrap. If you haven’t tried beeswax food wraps yet, give them a go.

>> Shop re-usable food wraps

✔️ Say no to straws – These single-use pieces of plastic are so unnecessary. If you enjoy sipping your smoothies and drinks through a straw, try a stainless steel alternative.

>> Shop re-usable straws

✔️ Be beauty conscious – Make the switch to natural hair care and beauty products to reduce your exposure to toxins and plastic chemicals.

>> Shop Holistic Hair

✔️ Reduce the nasties – It’s easier than ever to switch to all-natural cleaning products like those from Common Good. Our cleaning products don’t need nasties to be effective!

>> Shop the Common Good range

Guest Curator - Esther Stephens

Mon, 18 Dec 2017 13:44:36 +1300

Esther Stephens is a kiwi actress and singer, currently most recognised for her role in Westside - set to return for it’s fourth season in 2018. We chatted with Esther about her personal style and influencers, and as our first Guest Curator, she’s put together a collection of her favourite pieces on Curate - see her top picks here.

How would you describe your personal style?

Vintage, or vintage inspired, I’m not afraid of colour or a bit of kitsch, but I also love fine craftsmanship and NZ designers. My style varies a lot depending on how I’m feeling, sometimes I want a very polished and clean look, other times I feel like being more rock n roll.

Any upcoming trends you can’t wait to wear?

I’m excited for Summer and a break from the wooly wear! I love light frocks in natural fibres, so will be rocking some of that in the coromandel over Christmas/New Year.

Who are your biggest style influences? Who do you admire most?

Once again I like to look back to move forward, Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Diana Ross - I love the female icons of the 60’s and 70’s. I also really love and admire people who are not afraid to take risks and be creative with their style, Bowie, Bjork, Yukimi Nagano from Little Dragon.

We’ve seen some killer looks from your Westside character, Ngaire Munroe. Has Ngaire’s style influenced your own?

In our first season we were in the 70’s, so that was an absolute dream for me - so many awesome costume pieces that I would definitely include in my own wardrobe. I’m less infatuated with 80’s style, which is where we are now in season 4, but Sarah our costume designer is very collaborative which allows me to have a part in putting together Ngaire’s wardrobe, which I love. I actually had a couple of pairs of shoes I’d bought from an op shop that I ended up bringing in for Ngaire because they were just so perfect for the character!

What will you be wearing this Summer?

Loose floaty things, linen, and a high waisted bikini (weather permitting!)

Describe your shopping style

I can case an op shop at lightning speed, and I go round my local ones regularly looking for things to jump out at me and inspire me. Then I tend to scoop up cheap basics from somewhere like AS Colour, and every now and then splurge on a beautiful piece by a kiwi designer. I don’t really follow trends, I like classic looks and things that last, and I try and steer clear of fast fashion.

What are your favourite stores/pieces on Curate?

Big fan of Jetsetbohemian, they always have an awesome selection of vintage and designer recycled.

Recipe - Crazy Cucumber's tri-layer vegan matcha panna cotta

Wed, 15 Nov 2017 21:04:03 +1300

Taken from Crazy Cucumber’s blog. This is a blog that I could spend hours scrolling through, if you’re a fan of clean eating it’s definitely worth checking out. Careful though, if you’re already hungry it might push you over the edge!

The matcha she uses is from Thea Organics, which can be purchased on Curate here.

If you’re a fan of Japanese desserts like green tea ice cream, you’ll probably love this wonderful dessert.

I am obsessed with the green tea and chocolate flavor combination! The matcha has a light bitterness too it, similar to cacao, both of which are nicely offset by coconut and agave syrup sweetness. Matcha pairs well with vanilla too.

This panna cotta recipe prepared with coconut milk and agar-agar. A fabulous dessert is given a vegan update with the same texture and deep flavor.

Few facts about Agar-Agar:

Agar-Agar – vegetable substitute for gelatin powder obtained from algae,
It is of three kinds – in flakes, powder, and bars,
Great for making soufflé, jelly, tarts, sauces, and soups (as thickener),
Low calories, working perfect for the diets and cleanses the body,
Does not melt at room temperature but at temperatures above 35C,
It solidifies at room temperature,
For jelly is used in the ratio 1tsp in a glass of liquid (250ml) for powder and 1.5 tbs for flakes Agar,
Only dissolves in the boiling liquid.

INGREDIENTS

3 Serves

400 ml (13 fl oz) Can of rich and creamy coconut milk (I use Trade Aid brand)
½ Cup of water (120 ml)
2 Teaspoons Agar-Agar powder
2-3 Tbsp Light agave syrup
0,5 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1,5 Tbsp Raw cacao powder
0,5 Teaspoon of Premium Grade Organic Matcha from Thea + some for dusting

DIRECTIONS

In a saucepan pour coconut milk, water, add syrup and agar-agar. Bring to a boil, gently simmer for 5 minutes, mixing occasionally using the whisk. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and mix well.
Divide the mixture into three parts. Pour one part into the blender, add the cacao powder and mix well. The mixture should be warm, otherwise, the agar will begin to set very quickly.
Secure the serving glasses on an angle. Pour equal amounts of chocolate mixture into each of the glasses, enough to fill about half the glass. Chill until completely set (about 10-15 minutes). In summertime, I would recommend cooling the agar in the refrigerator
Repeat layering with vanilla mixture, forming the second layer, wait about 10-15 minutes in between layers.
Pour the third part of the warm mixture into the blender, add the matcha powder and mix well. Slowly pour matcha mixture into each glass. Chill until completely set and then lightly dust with matcha powder. Enjoy!

+ 3 small glasses (about 120ml capacity)

Meet the Makers - Airs & Graces

Fri, 29 Sep 2017 12:02:52 +1300

Airs & Graces specialises in luxury fine linen garments and beautifully crafted everyday basics. We talked with founders/designers Charlotte and Sarah about their journey, what inspires them, and what’s next for Airs & Graces.

Zoe Shirt

Tell us about the journey for Airs & Graces so far…

The Airs & Graces journey started only 18 months ago with the idea for a simple T shirt shape in gorgeous luxury linen. We were obsessed with the beauty of this fabric and it’s relaxed look and feel and natural imperfections. Once we worked on this basic T – now our popular Issy T - our love for linen grew and we added in new styles to create an entire range.

Where do you find inspiration for your products?

Our inspiration for Airs & Graces products comes purely from the linen fabric. Both Sarah and I contribute ideas on what styles we would love to wear that season without being too ‘of the moment’. Our pieces are a nod to the latest trends and silhouettes but ultimately we make classic styles that can be worn season after season.

Izzy T

Live in Shorts

What makes Airs & Graces special?

Our products are designed with love for the linen fabric. We produce slow, luxury clothing where we encourage woman to buy less, wear it more and to wear fabrics that feel good on your skin. Airs & Graces is special because we make linen effortlessly stylish and you feel good about your investment in our special pieces. We do small runs and get our colours batch died to our exact specifications.

What’s next for Airs & Graces?

Next on the agenda for Airs & Graces is to extend our range with the addition of luxury cotton pieces. We take the same philosohy using a fabric that feels truly lovely to wear and add updated detailing and silhouettes. We are also expanding our linen range into new long sleeved tops and wide leg pants for Autumn/Winter 2018 and working on new colours and styles for next summer.

We are excited to be collaborating with well-known NZ artists on a brand new collection of silk scarves launching at the end of October under the new brand Raw Artistry. Expect to hear a lot more about us as we keep working on beautiful new products.
