Michelle on Maternity Leave | 18.7.08

It's an emotional little day today for the Huskies today as we farewell our senior designer, baking queen and talent extraordinaire, Michelle Sarkar. 'Moo', as she is affectionately called around the studio, is about to embark on the steepest learning curve of her life - the journey of motherhood. Eeeep! Though Lou, Innie, Janina and Blair (and probably many of our dear clients) will miss her terribly, we wish her and Adam all the best as they take a deep breath and step into their brand new world. Watch this space for goss, pics and all things baby.

Buy Organic Because... | 1.7.08

...there are a whole pile of fruits and vegetables that are known to be highly pesticide-exposed. Noshtopia published this list of some of the most pesticide-contaminated produce at your average supermarket, of which we had little clue.

Apples >> Capsicum >> Celery >> Nectarines >> Strawberries >> Cherries >> Lettuce >> Grapes >> Pears

Many of these fruit and veges are things we eat every day, so it's good to sharpen up. (If all this organic blah blah just makes you tired, you can relax about buying organic for fruit like bananas, oranges, tangerines and grapefruit because you hiff the skin anyway).
