Hair touch-ups during COVID
When in lockdown it's not possible to get to the hairdresser so what do you do when you have dark or grey roots? A friend told me about this product that you can spray on your roots to change their colour till the next wash. It's free of ammonia, peroxide & synthetic dyes.I might even keep using the product after COVID! If you've found other useful products during COVID please add them in comments.

Dragons for success by Chris Chun
A powerful symbol in Chinese culture. The dragon is considered to be the rainmaker and brings in winds of change. Displaying a dragon in your home will not only energise the house and the family, but it will also bring strength and vitality to everyone who resides there. An Australian designer with Chinese heritage, Chris honed his craft in Europe designing for textile design studios whose clients included the likes of Giorgio Armani & Missoni. A dragon in reds and oranges brings in the 'fire' element to create energy. The fire element represents success and inspiration in feng shui. https://www.chrischun.com/collections/dragon

Fighting Fatbergs - why not before now?
Fatbergs are becoming famous* and yet we hesitate to legislate against wipes, and other contaminants. The leading baby wipe manufacturers are big players like Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble and Kimberly-Clark Corporation. Large sewer-clogging wet wipe blockages cost city councils $millions each year*. In Qld at least, wet wipes, paper towels, tampons, and even cat litter could carry an accredited 'flushable' logo by 2022 to let consumers know that products adhere to national standards, will not clog up sewage systems and cause minimal damage to the environment. Why did this take so long?https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-31/qld-standard-fatbergs-clogging-sewe
