“Your Guide to a Palm Oil Free Easter…” [#geekgirl]
Posted on April 17th, 2014 No comments[From an article at 1 Million Women] “Easter is imminent and, whether you celebrate Easter or not, most of us will be seduced by the copious amounts of chocolate circulating our homes, offices and supermarkets in the coming days. As this onslaught of confectionary approaches it’s important to keep in mind what you’re really putting your money towards when buying chocolate.![[Logo Via Palm Oil Free Products]](http://www.palmoilfreeproducts.com.au/includes/templates/exodus/images/logo.png "[Logo Via Palm Oil Free Products]")

In Australia it’s not a legal requirement for brands to state whether or not they use palm oil, which makes it an overwhelming task to separate the bad from the good. One very simple trick to avoid palm oil is: EAT WHOLEFOODS. It’d be very hard to sneak palm oil into a banana, carrot, avocado or bunch of fresh leeks, so this is an easy way to avoid palm oil at all costs.
However, on the occasion when chocolate really is the only cure, here are a few major brands that are safe to buy this Easter:
- - Haigh’s Chocolate
- - Koko Black
- - Whittaker’s
- - Lindt & Sprungli – Lindt Excellence and Lindt Creation chocolate blocks (Note that filled products such as Lindor do contain palm oil)
- - Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate blocks – Dairy Milk, Old Gold, Dream
- - Cadbury Green & Black’s chocolate blocks (except Butterscotch; Raisin & Hazelnut)
- - Aldi Stores: Choceur, Just Organics, Moser-Roth…”

Hirsute Girly Armpits Ahoy! [#geekgirl]
Posted on April 10th, 2014 No comments[From an article at the dailymail.co.uk] “A striking photo series of women showing off their underarm hair is challenging the conventional standards of beauty.![[(c) Ben Hopper Via The Daily Mail]](http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/04/08/article-2600074-1CF0C45300000578-520_306x481.jpg "[(c) Ben Hopper Via The Daily Mail]")

London-based photographer Ben Hopper recruited dozens of models and actresses to grow out their body hair for the Natural Beauty series, with the aim of proving that women don’t need to conform to society’s expectations in order to be attractive.
‘The whole point is contrast between fashionable female beauty and the raw unconventional look of female armpit hair,’ the Israeli-born photographer told the Huffington Post.”
