A design student at Kingston University in London, Mary Graham, writes: "A product only has to contain 1 per cent natural elements to be labelled as a natural product." So what is truly natural? If you want to use more natural cosmetics, it's necessary to look beyond the label. That's why she made a set of fake eyelashes that are truly and fully natural products. She found the grass in a forest and used eggs and snow to create the adhesive that holds it together. (Source: Designboom.com)
Embarrassing kisses and cuddles end teen's misbehaviour
"I had a mate who was having a problem with his teenage son misbehaving at school," writes a reader. "He started to turn up at the boy's classroom, as school was ending, and waited for him. He then threw his arms around him and said, 'I have missed you so much today', and gave him a big kiss on the cheek. He told his son that until he stopped his bad behaviour at school, this would be done each day. It worked."
Joker puts his name on the map
Mary-Anne writes: "Reported a problem with Google Maps last night regarding a park reserve here in Werrina Cres, Rotorua. It is labelled "Pratik Is So Awesome" (pictured right). It should be Werrina Crescent Reserve. Am only speculating, but maybe Pratik thought it would go unnoticed (and be cool) or is it a case of his mates at Google Maps wanting to get him into trouble? Or did Pratik hack Google Maps? Be interesting to see how long it takes Google to fix. I wonder if any other readers have spotted any weird errors like this in their area?"
