Blocked ebay users

People that really make your weekend sunny, and me, express much less of a lady:

22michelley2  - - bids, wins, and forgets to pay. Then goes back to the mountains, must be a monkey after all.

kat0812kate  - - insists on me re-listing to create the buy it now, bins it, then chooses to avoid payment

niksta_2013  - - doesn't read the specific instructions on Second Chance Offer. Pay now, collect now.

weir-pool  - - Another person from Western Sydney cementing shoes to their reputation. Forces me to hold all hatches, while he dicks around being a Westie, calling me from blocked number. Then breaks item, and insists on a discount. As is. How about, as if? I told him I will break it more and throw it in the bin. His wife calls me 'while he's still in the area', How about $70? How about, go back to where you came from?

summer-kimberly  - - plain stupid will cover it.




Why don't they have this list on vogue.com.au forum? And why can't we give feedback on people who bid and don't pay, bid and don't read, and go to the privacy of your house, just to creep you out?

Au Natural Hippy Approved Beauty

For those of us with an inner-hippy that requires us to justify the products soaping us down and scrubbing us up, may I introduce some of my favourite and all time long loved products. Sure, a couple of sodium laureth sulphate products may be floating around your bath-boudoir, but we all need to put back what we take out, by treating our skin to some paraben-free, sodium-toxide-unrelated bathing. Whether it's almond oil or glycerine based, we need these to counter the harmful effects of mass marketed Procter and Gamble and Johnson and Johnson and co.

French Tea Filters for Loose Leaf



The importance of being meticulous
Tea filters are a great way to keep your beautiful loose leaf in check. Especially for those of us who enjoy a certain leaf brew, not stewed leaves.
If you're not fussed about strong tea but don't have pot plants to put the messy refuse to, you can lift out after the brew is drunk, and throw straight to the bin. Or, indeed, if you have a garden of your own, you could put the entire lot in with the compost. Biodegradable heaven.
Here are a few of my favourites: Kusmi, Teeli and Dammann Freres.




Kusmi Tea Filters - Filtres a the 100
100 filters for loose leaf tea
Made from abaca pulp and cellulose fibber, whitened with oxygen, biodegradable.
Made in Germany for Kusmi Tea Paris






















Teeli Flip Tea FIlters 100
100 filters for loose leaf tea
Made from abaca pulp and cellulose fibber, oxygen bleached, biodegradable.
Made in Germany by Riensch and Held












Dammann Freres Tea Filters - Filtres a The 30
30 filters for loose leaf tea

Oxygen Bleached
