We wrote about the Keepcup reusable coffee cups last year  (I have actually  just ordered some myself) but came across the BYO reusable coffee cup recently, and it looks really cool as well.

Did you know that most take away coffee cups are not recyclable and that Australians discard into landfill 1.36 million disposable cups a day. This is a phenomenal amount, imagine this figure globally!

So we all really need to do our part, and so no to the take away coffee cups by going reusable. It’s great to see Aussie companies coming out with great alternatives.

The BYO reusable coffee cup is another great Aussie product doing their bit to help us reduce coffee cups in landfills.

Made from silicone which is flexible but firm, it can withstand up to 200ºC heat but will remain cool to touch. You can use it for tea, coffee, soup..what ever…. Use it. Wash it. Use it over and over again.

They are available in a few different colour combos and come in 10oz ($10.95) and 15oz ($15.95)

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, who is SOOO old today.

After my Craft Room cupcake class, I had the stupid idea that I would make him some cupcakes to take to work. A lot of cupcake designs are very feminine though, what could I make for a bloke? BOOBS of course. Classy no?

So have been practising and preparing all week. Of course I left it till last minute as usual, and was up till midnight last night, and gave up after 16 LOL My hands are now stained every colour of the rainbow for the next week, and I have eaten enough fondant to sink a ship *blush*

After many attempts at getting a good colour, the end result wasn’t too bad.

He said he didn’t want all boobs, he’d feel bad making the ladies at work eat them. So had to come up with some other design, which I wasn’t overly pleased with the result. Guess lots of practise still needed. Need to watch some more youtube vids.

Emily’s birthday coming up in a few weeks and she has already put an order in, so maybe some more girly designs will be easier.
