Copper has been around for ages. But many of us do not know one useful property of copper - it has anti-microbial properties that are proven to be able to kill bacteria and viruses.
“Scientific evidence shows that copper kills 99% of bacteria, including super bugs like MRSA, within two hours of contact. Research also has shown that H1N1, or the swine flu virus, likewise does not survive on copper.”

Since most of us use the kitchen sink to clean the food that we are going to prepare and eat, what better sink to use if not copper sinks?
The weather is getting colder and colder as Autumn creeps in. I don’t mind Autumn but I cringe at the fact that Winter is coming soon. I am hoping that we would be able to go for a break to some warmer place when the cold weather kicks in.
However, although we are not the sort of people who actually love winter, but we wouldn’t mind trying out something different. Like spending some time in Ice hotels. Places where you can find an Ice hotel is Sweden, Norway, Finland, Canada and Romania.
It was only a couple of days ago I’ve watched a programme on how an Ice hotel is actually made. All seems so interesting, from the building of the rooms, to the making of all the artistic ice decoration by famous artists from all over the world.
However one thing I’m curious about is how do people actually sleep there? Check out the beds there. Other than some fleece or animal skin on top of them, you don’t see any mattresses do you? Just looking at the beds made me shiver… brrr….
