Simple Sweet Treats
Whist in this November lockdown it seems only appropriate to blog about things that don’t require many ingredients or craft supplies etc. It’s frustrating at the moment that small independent businesses have been forced to temporarily close due to the pandemic yet the big giants can carry on and seem to be taking market shareContinue reading “Simple Sweet Treats”
Zero Cost Autumn Wreath
It’s the beginning of November, with less than 50 days until Christmas and we find ourselves heading into another month long national lockdown due to rising cases of COVID-19. All non-essential retailers, restaurants, gyms and churches all having to close again to in person gatherings, move to on-line only with a ‘stay at home’ orderContinue reading “Zero Cost Autumn Wreath”
The Happy Pumpkin
It’s that time of year again when the the nights are drawing in, the clocks have changed and the leaves are falling from the trees. I do love all the sounds and colours of autumn, the sense of change in the air with the reds, oranges and browns. I find it funny that they areContinue reading “The Happy Pumpkin”
Eco make-up bag #4 double ups
For this final post in the mini series on Eco-make-up choices, I am going to look at ways to be more ‘eco’ by doubling up, reducing waste and buying wisely by not having multiple options for everything. It also comes in handy for packing lightly for a holiday, Coronavirus permitting (we can dream and planContinue reading “Eco make-up bag #4 double ups”
Eco make-up bag #3 Eyeshadow
I’ve been hunting around for quite a while now for an eco-friendly cosmetics brand and the leading high street retailers have been somewhat disappointing in their offerings. In my opinion they need to wake up and catch up! When I worked at Boots head office (quite a long time ago now), it was when self-selectionContinue reading “Eco make-up bag #3 Eyeshadow”
Eco make-up bag #2 Solid Foundation
For this post i’m going to approach the subject of ‘Zero Waste‘. Rather than looking at packaging that can be recycled, this is the concept of no packaging at all or where the packaging has a function for the product. I do like this Eco concept as long as it doesn’t compromise on the qualityContinue reading “Eco make-up bag #2 Solid Foundation”
Eco make-up bag #1 Mascara
Following on from the popularity of my blog post about the back to school Eco pencil case and all the lovely comments, I’m going to do a mini-series about what is inside an eco make-up bag? It might give some eco inspiration for gifts for the special ladies out there, all these little items wouldContinue reading “Eco make-up bag #1 Mascara”
Eco Warrior
At a job interview recently, I was asked how to best to describe yourself. I really HATE these kind of questions as you have to think, what qualities of a person are they looking for? What do they want me to say, outgoing,reliable, hardworking, witty? All of these I hope to be true but IContinue reading “Eco Warrior”
The basic gift of a bra
This blog post is taking a slightly different angle on gifts to what I usually write about. Rather than searching the internet for that perfect eco friendly gift for that really difficult person to buy for or the person who seems to have everything already, this a chance to reflect on how much we alreadyContinue reading “The basic gift of a bra”
