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. But let’s be honest, all that lively energy can sometimes come with an equally lively array of smells – from last night’s dinner to muddy wellies, and the general cheerful chaos that kids bring! As eco-conscious mums, we’re always looking for ways to keep our living spaces feeling fresh and inviting without resorting to synthetic air fresheners laden with chemicals.

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.

fussy deodorant

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…

A Green Takeover: Why I Will No Longer Be Supporting Wild

Well, it happened. We all read the news a couple of months back about Unilever being in line to purchase the green company Wild (at a wild amount) and most of us couldn’t believe it. Having worked with them for the last 5 years or so, I certainly couldn’t, so I contacted them directly, and was shocked when I received their bog standard copy and paste dancing around the query response. I truly thought they would have at least been a little more upfront with those who had supported them. As word got around, more people began questioning them, mostly on social media, but Wild either ignored their comments or deleted them. That was the point when we all knew the sell-out was coming. And sure enough, at the start of April, the £230 million deal(!) was done. Wild are now owned by the unethical company Unilever.
