Category: Eco Living

My eco topics category is my latest addition to my blog. I decided to make changes to my lifestyle in 2018 because I knew we needed to take steps to become more eco-friendly. It began with the change to reusable nappies and wipes and from there I made a promise to continue to try and find other ways to improve our wasteful ways and at the same time offer up tips, advice and hopefully inspire others.

Making these changes has had such a positive impact on us as a family. We are enjoying finding new ways of doing things, we love talking about it with others and we are saving money too! Such a win! Eco topics are now a huge passion of mine and I hope you will enjoy them as much as we are.

While public transport, walking or cycling are the ultimate eco-friendly alternatives, they’re not always viable solutions, particularly if you have a young family and live in a rural area.

For some of us, having our own vehicle is essential, but there are alternatives to traditional fossil fuel-powered cars. Is it time to give up your old car?

A menstrual cup is a reusable, plastic-free, silicone cup-shaped item that is used vaginally during your period. It has grown in popularity in recent years with many menstruators loving the fact that this is better for your vaginal health, it is more comfortable and more convenient. The cup sits lower than your ordinary single-use tampon, it can be worn for longer and it catches your period blood rather than absorbing it.

And this is precisely why I wanted to cover how to clean and care for your menstrual cup, so that you can confidently look after yours each and every month.
