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.

You’re Taking Reusable Nappies Abroad With You??!!!

Posted on March 10, 2019November 19, 2024 by Emma Reed

Since we started using reusable nappies last June, I haven’t used a single disposable one. Not when we went away for a weekend to Cornwall, not when William was in hospital with hand, foot and mouth and not even for swimming. We are fully on the reusable train here now.

So, when somebody asked me if I was taking disposables to Florida with us I said no, of course not, yet they looked surprised

The countdown is on to my holiday which means my mind is turning to planning my clothes, travel products and my skincare travel essentials. I don’t want to take too much as we kinda had a weight issue last year (the bags you understand, not me!) and I certainly don’t want to repeat that mistake. However, I do still want my luxury items and everything that will make me feel good. This is why I am so pleased that Carly from Beeutiful has travel-sized pots of her magic skincare treats!

I feel that I have covered so much on cloth/reusable nappies but I haven’t gone into much detail about our reusable wipes. I have touched on them in my other posts but having just been inundated with questions about them via my Instastories I realised there was much more I needed to cover. So here is my opinion (because I think you have to work out what works best for you) on everything you need to know about using reusable wipes.

*Collaborative Post

‘Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?’ Anyone with green fingers wants to answer “great, thanks!” There is no better feeling than cultivating a piece of land and transforming it into a haven. Whether it’s for you, the kids or the neighbours, the garden is a perfect place to relax and unwind. Plus, it’s not hard on the eyes either.

Review | Beeutiful Valentine’s Day Gift Box

Posted on February 7, 2019January 8, 2025 by Emma Reed

I really love Valentine’s Day, I love the fact that we celebrate loving one another and I love that myself and my husband always make the effort to have a nice dinner at home, followed by profiteroles and he always buys me wine and flowers. What I don’t like about the day is the abundance of tacky presents in the stores, the giant teddies, the heart-shaped balloons and generally anything that’s a bit cringe.

So, I have talked a lot recently on how we have tried to become more eco-friendly but I know that all my swaps may not be for everybody. For example, it can be tough to pay out upfront for a sufficient stash of reusable nappies, I get that I really do, so I wanted to give some ideas on how you can still make some positive changes around your home and for your family, eco changes that are easy and also cost-effective.
