Making The Switch To Cloth Sanitary Pads

Posted on July 16, 2019November 20, 2024 by Emma Reed

I started my periods way back when I was around 11/12 and yet what has recently astounded me is that I have gone around for the last 25 years or so not knowing that cloth sanitary pads were a thing. I have spent how much?! Oh, god, I don’t want to know, just imagine… I may cry, I may actually cry, PLUS I have sent god knows how much plastic, chemical-filled waste to landfill or incineration (pass the bucket). I honestly not only feel sick from all of this but I also feel completely and utterly cheated.

How To Be Eco-Friendly On A Budget

Ok, so since making a lot of changes over the last year in order to become more eco-friendly there has been one obstacle that I have come up against time and time again: the sheer cost. Yep, as soon as you start looking for products that start with the word ‘eco’ you can guarantee that the price is going to be far higher than your usual product – and yes there are reasons for that, important reasons but not everything has to cost you loads, which is why I am finding ways of being as eco-friendly on a budget as I can be and I wanted to share some of these with you as it is a topic that comes up quite a lot and if we truly want to make a difference to our environment it needs to be achievable for everybody.

Review | New Elements Easyfit Reusable Nappies by Totsbots

*Gifted Reusable Nappies

Reusable nappies have become a passion of mine (something you may have noticed!) Since making the swap in June last year I have gradually built up a stash big enough to wave goodbye to single-use nappies for good, I have talked about the ease of the switch and have tried my best to spread the word that reusable nappies are the way forward for our environment. However, the benefits of changing aren’t all about being eco-friendly. We have discovered that William is far more comfortable in reusables, that he never gets nappy rash and that we are saving ourselves a lot of money in long-run. If that isn’t enough to tempt you just yet, perhaps the designs will?! Have you SEEN today’s reusable nappies?

8 reasons why our florida holiday was amazing

8 Reasons Why Our Florida Holiday Was Absolutely Amazing!

Posted on July 5, 2019November 20, 2024 by Emma Reed

*Collaborative Post

In March this year, we visited Florida for the very first time. If you have read some of my other blogs you will know that this wasn’t a holiday that had been planned well in advance, in fact, we only knew six months prior because the idea came about due to my husband needing to go out there for work. As it was so far to travel to and because none of us had ever been to Florida before, we decided to make it a family holiday to remember. With not long to plan, we set about researching things to do in Florida, booking tickets and accommodation, a hire car and arranging everything we needed to travel to the US in order to enjoy our first-ever Florida holiday.

If you have been around for a while you will be very aware that reducing our waste, becoming more eco-friendly, cutting out plastic and making a positive change for our planet have all become my mission and I love sharing all of these with you.

A great time to start looking at your plastic use and what products you could switch to is during Plastic Free July, a whole month dedicated to helping you reduce your plastic waste and here are some that we have come to love…

Review | Toy Story 4 Puzzles

Unless you’ve been living under a rock just recently, you will be very aware that Toy Story 4 has hit the cinema’s and subsequently broken box office records. It’s been 25 years since the release of the very first film and as somebody who remembers the lead up to that film, I was just as excited as my child was when we heard that another was coming out. The loveable characters took all of our hearts and after the sad ending of Toy Story 3, who would have thought they would have been back with more to come? I certainly didn’t.
