As soon as Linh gave birth to Lilah we started looking at ways to increase milk supply. I had heard about Oatmeal as a way of increasing milk supply but owning a coffee shop it dawned on me that it might be worth looking into the benefits of Oat Milk.  So after some research I did a small podcast on it.  Ps. if you want to make oat milk here is the recipe otherwise jump onto Prasads Home and Garden and purchase some, it's a lot easier.  How Do You Make Oat Milk? To start making oat milk, you will need two ingredients: oats and water. You will also need a blender, a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, and a jar to store the oat milk. First, measure out 2 cups of oats and 4 cups of water. Steel cut oats, rolled oats, or instant oats may be used. Then, soak the oats in the water in the refrigerator overnight.

Indonesia’s controversial sex ban has sparked warnings for Aussies visiting Bali — but there are “three things” you’re not being told, according to locals. Well, before you cancel your trip (or put a last-minute ring on it) here are three key points that the headlines aren’t telling you. 1. This law does not come into effect for another three years. A lot can change before then! 2. Only direct family (parents, brothers, sisters etc.) can report their own family members to the authorities — there won’t be ‘raids’ on villas or hotels etc. 3. You do not need a marriage certificate to check into your hotel and you do not need to book a separate room to your partner! This law doesn’t particularly affect tourists, but we do hope certain changes are made if it comes into effect in 2025, to protect certain freedoms of the local community. What can we take from here, don't always read whats in the newspapers and do your research.  This is Abel Prasad signing off for the day

Hi Guys its been a while but what better way to jump back into it then talking about mental health.  National Mental Health Month is an initiative of the Mental Health Foundation Australia (MHFA) to advocate for and raise awareness of Australian mental health.

Bet you didn't know that Hobby Home and Garden actually dropships its own products to other entrepreneurs around Australia. We wanted to help other businesses who couldn't and didn't have the money to start their own business.  So what is dropshipping? The biggest difference between dropshipping and the standard retail model is that the selling merchant doesn’t stock or own inventory. Instead, the seller purchases inventory as needed from a third party—usually a wholesaler or manufacturer—to fulfil orders. Dropshipping is a great business model for aspiring entrepreneurs to start with because it’s accessible. With dropshipping, you can quickly test different business ideas with limited downside, which lets you learn a lot about how to choose and market in-demand products. Here are a few other reasons why dropshipping is such a popular model. Listen to find out about the benefits of dropshipping!
