Keeping Your Family Home Fresh: Why Mums Are Loving Eco-Conscious Diffusers

*Collaborative Post

A busy family home is a happy home, full of laughter, play, and endless activity.

10 Ways I Have Adapted My (small) Garden to Cope With Climate Change

Climate change, whether you want to hear it or not, is here. Each year we are seeing more extreme weathers, such as longer periods of drought followed by big downpours that the ground can’t cope with. Earlier springs leading to confused wildlife, sudden heatwaves that none of us can stand because our homes aren’t cut out for it and garden plants left struggling to cope. It may sound all doom and gloom but we do have one thing going for us – we are very adaptable, and now is the time to be changing, improving and working WITH our changing climate in order to still be able to enjoy our outdoors space whilst giving plants, flowers and wildlife a fighting chance. Here is how I have learnt to adapt my small garden over these last few changeable years.

An Honest Review of Fussy Deodorant

We all want to use products that are safe for us and the planet and an eco deodorant is one area I thought I had nailed. I switched to Wild around 5/6 years back and was happy but as many of us know, Wild were recently bought out by Unilever and as an unethical company, I just couldn’t continue supporting them. Greenwashing does not wash with me. So, I made the decision to step out and try new deodorants that had since hit the eco shelves. Fussy seemed to come highly rated by many of my readers and I liked the fact that it was very similar to Wild, so I have been trying it out and promised everyone a review. It has now been around 8 weeks of use and these are my honest thoughts…
