Swap Sweets for Sex: A York University study found that the release of the love hormone, oxytocin, after sex decreased a persons appetite, particularly for sugary carbs.

Joke of the Week: Why do bananas have to put sunscreen on? To make sure they don’t peel! Haha
Make it, Bake it, Grow it: The Canowindra Creative Centre hosted a successful Make It, Bake It, Grow It Market afternoon on 1st October. Thank you to the Stall Holders, visitors and locals who shared in the feat of creativity on offer.

Good luck HSC Students: The HSC kicks off on Thursday 14th with English being the first exam. We wish students all the best

You Sweat What You Eat: Researchers at Macquarie University found that people who ate fruit, vegies, eggs, soy and meat smelled the best, while those who are high carb eaters smelt the worse.
