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.

Pranamat ECO Review – My Honest Experience

Posted on February 7, 2025April 3, 2025 by Emma Reed

*PR Product

As somebody who has long suffered from aches and pains in my back and shoulders as well as debilitating aura migraines, I have tried many things over the years to help ease these. I’ve had sports massages, taken up yoga, seen chiropractors, used those electric hand-held massagers, and invested in different pillows as well as vitamins/supplements for my migraines. Some have worked, some not so much but when you live with pain, I always think solutions like these are all worth a try. One thing that HAS helped with both my back pain and my migraines is the acupressure mat from Pranamat ECO. I was actually sent a set by the brand way back in 2021 for a tryout and social media coverage and after 4 years of use, I thought it was about time that I shared a full blog review on this product. So here are my honest thoughts…

Reducing our plastic waste has been a big focus in our household for a number of years now and steering away from washing up sponges made from plastic fibres was something that we were eager to do as soon as we realised how damaging microplastics are – not just for the waterways and environment but also our own health. I’d tried and liked many of the alternatives that were available including wooden brushes, metal scourers and reusable cloths but there hadn’t yet been an eco dupe of the traditional washing up sponge… Until I discovered the Seep eco sponge scourer. With its natural materials that are kind to the planet, your health and also compostable, these sounded like the perfect solution. We started using them in January 2023 (for transparency the brand asked to work with me to test them out for social media) and we loved them so much that we have become regular customers. So, I thought it was about time I wrote a blog review on these fantastic Seep eco sponges so you can see for yourself just how easy some eco-swaps can be…
