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.

What is a Shampoo Bar and Why Should You Consider Switching to One?

Posted on November 13, 2024February 27, 2025 by Emma Reed

With environmental awareness on the rise and reducing plastic waste at the forefront of many people’s minds, shampoo bars have become increasingly popular in recent years. In fact, I made the switch to this eco-friendly alternative myself about five years ago. Back then I relied heavily on information from others’ social media posts to work out which bars to try, how to use one and what to do if a bar didn’t suit my hair and, after spending quite a while trying to find the right one, I thought I would take all my knowledge and experience to explain what they are and why should you consider swapping your bottled shampoo for a shampoo bar.
