INTERESTING INFO ABOUT MIRRORS



Can you tell when you are in a hotel room, restroom, motel etc. with a mirror whether it is in fact a mirror or 2-way glass?








Here's how:

I thought it was quite interesting! And I know in about 30 seconds you're going to do what I did and find the nearest mirror.... Do you know how to determine if a mirror is 2-way or not?

This is not to scare you, but to make you aware. A policewoman who travels all over the U.S. and gives seminars and techniques for businesswomen passed this on. When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc.., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror (i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them)? There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it.

So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at? Just conduct this simple test:

Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, FOR IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR!

"No Space, Leave the Place"

So remember, every time you see a Mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything.

Remember: "No Space, Leave the Place"

Ladies: Share this with your girlfriends, sisters, daughters, etc.
Men: Share this with your wives, daughters, daughters-in- law, mothers, girlfriends and friends

Starting/Back To School the Healthy Way

Hi there,

Are you gearing up to send the kids (back) to school?

Our older daughter is starting school on the first of February.

Are you like us - your kids eat healthy unprocessed diets at home but when they go out and need to take lunch and/or a snack, it becomes challenging to ensure:
(a) the food they take with them is healthy and not too messy to eat without cutlery and crockery, and
(b) the way you store the food for them will not leach nasty toxins into their food and/or beverages.

Check out the following links for a tip of the iceberg look at just one toxin, biphenol A:

http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/07/is-there-bpa-in-your-home-canning.php

What can we do to keep our loved ones and ourselves safe from contaminants in food and beverages?

1)*Give them organic &/or home grown unprocessed food (don't use tinned, bottled or prepackaged foods),
2)Store it in a way that doesn't leach toxins - eg. use real cellophane bags/wrappers
not plastic; if necessary use stainless steel containers, not plastic.
3)Give them filtered water,
4)Store the water in a stainless steel BPA free drink bottle.

*Unfortunately, processed organic foods are still packaged using "conventional" methods and materials, losing a lot of their "goodness".

Cellophane, glass and stainless steel are the best options these days, but you can't send your child to school with food in glass containers. The cellophane can't be the fake stuff made from plastic. The latter is "softer" and doesn't make quite as much noise when handled or crinkle up so much. The stainless steel options are great and increasing a lot at present. Some have lids/caps made with plastic(s) containing BPA and some are not. The latter are more costly but necessary for beverages. For foods you may be able to get by with the food containers with plastic lids if you have an educated and understanding child - simply place a piece of cellophane over the container's opening, between the food and the lid.

If you are interested in BPA free stainless steel food and beverage containers, email us:

Have a great start to the school year,

Love and Peace

Looking After Yourself

Last time I said hi it was sweltering in Melbourne. Today is almost wintery, including hail!

Last week we were still in semi-holiday mode. Along with a few friends, we went Berry picking at Sunny Creek Organic Berry Farm (in Trafalgar South,Vic). Yummmmy!

While working on my website, I was made aware of a legal class action in the USA against Dior for having lead in their lipstick. It seems this occurs due to other ingredients in the product(s) being contominated by the heavy metal. Dior claim the levels are not dangerous, but their product(s) in question seem to have the highest levels out of over 30 brands.

Unfortunately, you and I, as consumers, cannot always get the correct answers to important questions about products we are interested in using. Too often, the consequences for our health, or our family's, is far too great.
This fact is one of the motivating factors in the development of my website and associated products/services (see www.ntpages.com.au/product/13093 until the site is complete).


Do you want to use makeup and be confident that it safe for you/your loved ones? I'm committed to only sell truly safe brands/products. They are always (a) natural and (b) wherever possible, organic. For instance, you can find Inika (mineral makeup), House of Herbs (natural and organic skincare), Nui (fairtrade and organic personal
care) in my range. We will also provide information and products on simple DIY alternatives for those who prefer this option.

For those who prefer unscented personal care lines, we're able to help - eg. soaps, washes, oil for skin care, mineral makeup (most of the Inika range is scent free).


There are so many toxins in our lives - in food, air, water, lotions & potions, soaps, medications, supplements, clothing & footwear, furniture, computers, paints, in the garden, parks, schools, offices, cars/busses/trams/trains .... together with poor eating habits and inappropriate exercise plus alcohol/tobacco/drug use it is no wonder that westerners generally age poorly.

Please take true care of yourself and those you care about. If you want, we are here to help you.


Health & Blessings
Miriam.

Hot Summer's Day

Wow! Very hot in Melbourne today.

Please make sure you stay well hydrated, no matter where you are and no matter the weather conditions. (We have lots of great stainless steel BPA free bottles to choose from.)

Home made vegetable juice is great as it supplies so many nutrients suspended in naturally distilled water. For replacing body salts, you can't go past this option in my book. Check out our juicers for great options to produce healthy juice for every member of your family and your freinds. Great as an option for staff in the work place too. Help them be healthy.

Also, you need to take care of your skin (your body's largest organ) - keep it hydrated with a good natural, chemical free moisteriser. If you can grow it, Aloe Vera is great. It's best in pots I find and needs very litle attention. If you want some thing a bit more luxurious, we have some yummy products from House of Herbs (Tasmanian).

Our website is well under construction - we are busy "beavering" away uploading all the necessary data. In the meantime, we have some of our products listed in several online directories:

www.ntpages.com.au/product/13093
www.carbonmarket.com.au
www.usenature.com.au

Please email us with any enquiry:

info@betweenskyandearth.com.au

Or telephone + 613 9578 7237 during standard retail trade times.

Take care - be healthy

Miriam.
