Thighs are my favourite Wait a minute let me explain !

THE NEEDLES

Theyll start the first week with the injections in the butt. They do it to see if there will be a reaction. Likely not, but that is standard.

They then give the option of the belly or thigh.

I highly recommend the thigh. They say it circulates the most throughout the body. The belly works on the belly/butt in the butt, but they do not reach all areas.

I only do the thigh now and its amazing. It really does seem to hit everything.

However, they dont inject in the inner thigh - the flabbiest part. Darn...I really could use some help there....

The nurses will say - ooh, youre so brave because it hurts. Thats bull - it stings (pinprick for 2 seconds) the same as the butt or belly, and by the time you walk out of the clinic, you dont feel anything.

I recommend the thigh - well worth the overall fat breakdown.

There - have I clarified my appreciation of thighs? ;-)

Zero Waste Europe my top 10 favourite blogposts

So, did you know its the European Week for Waste Reduction?  I guess its not the most snappy of names to roll off the tongue, but I love the fact there is one week in the year thats dedicated towards bringing our diverse continent together in the fight against waste.

It also makes me feel that my dusty old degree in Modern European Studies from (cough) the 1980s, still has some relevance to my life today.  The concluding motto in 1989 was that Europe is a unity through its diversity.  I cant remember what I made of that back then, but when it comes to tackling our mountain of waste, its certainly relevant to todays range of initiatives - diverse yet united towards the same goal, that of waste minimisation.

So for EWWR, (a much snappier title), I thought Id kick off with an introduction to one of my favourite Zero Waste blogs, Zero Waste Europe, and my top ten favourite blogposts, revealing some of the great ideas that are taking place on the continent as well as inspiration from further afield.

Little Museum of Bad Industrial Design

Kretsloppsarken. Recycling or amusement park?

A Zero Waste month in Sweden: 4 people = less than 1kg of waste!

But seriously, dont stop there.  There are plenty of other great posts, including some wonderful examples of waste reduction activities in the UK too, such as Nappy Ever After and Unpackaged.

For anyone who wants to explore the wider approach to Zero Waste, Zero Waste Europe really is a great place to start.

And on that note, as you travel virtually from country to country, perhaps all thats left to say, is Bon Voyage!
