Happy National Milk Day | Daioni

Today marks National Milk Day, historically a celebration of the first day when milk was delivered in glass bottles, allowing it to stay fresher for longer. 

Today, however, it is dedicated to encouraging children and adults alike to get their calcium fix. 

A brand I have recently had my eye on is Daioni, which is available in my local cafe The Green Owl, Buckhurst Hill. 

The Welsh company has created cartons of Chocolate, Banana and Strawberry organic milk which are free from artificial flavourings. 

Milk isn't the first drink I would reach for (especially not flavoured milk due to their thick constancy and artificial taste), however these packs of goodness have become a breakfast staple in my household. 

With only 25% of boys and less than 10% of girls aged between 9-13 consuming the recommended amount of calcium, these handy cartons are also great for packed lunches. 

Available in 200ml and 250ml cartons you can pick up yours at Ocado and independent delis and cafes nationwide for 79p and 99p. 

Food: Fashion or Flavour?

Young graduated Korean artist Sung Yeonju made these breath taking  dresses out of real fruits and vegetables as part of her Wearable Foods series. 

It is her first long term project, that she started two years ago, and still continues to this day. 

This series of her work forces viewers to defy the actual meaning, the functionalities, and the aspects of what clothing signifies in our lives. 

The essence of clothing and food has been reinterpreted. 

Each element does not fulfill its own role and yet, each suggests an unconventional and even contradicting role

 – un-wearable clothing that is made out of materials that do not last.
