Overherd Oat Milk Review: A Creamy and Sustainable Dairy Alternative

*Ad & Affiliate Code

Taking on an eco-conscious diet has become more and more important to many people. Many of us are all too aware of the impact that meat and dairy industries are having on our planet in terms of climate change, deforestation and animal exploitation and this has resulted in an increase of people turning to vegan and vegetarian diets in recent years. I am one of those people. Having spent almost 37 years as a meat eater, 3 years ago I took the step to cut meat out of my diet for the sake of the planet and I haven’t looked back, so now I am trying my best to also cut down on my dairy intake where I can (one step at a time).

Thankfully with many delicious and sustainable alternatives to traditional dairy products coming to market, it is becoming much easier to make sustainable food swaps these days. One name that’s recently been making waves in the realm of plant-based beverages is Overherd Oat Milk which I have been trying out over the last few weeks and this is my honest review…

Wildling Shoes Review

How important is foot health to you? Is it even something you’ve ever thought about much before? Having spent 8 years working in shoe retail it is definitely a topic I would discuss an awful lot – mostly with young girls coming in with already damaged feet because this often is when we do the most damage to our feet, from a young age by choosing the wrong size, width, materials and style. The right shoe can make a world of difference.
So, my next question is have you heard of minimal shoes or more commonly known barefoot shoes? These are shoes which are specifically designed to meet your foot health needs by providing a toe box wide enough for your foot to stay in its natural shape, soft and natural materials to give your foot high flexibility, an innovative gap that allows the arch of your foot to bend and stretch, encouraging strength and a flat sole making each and every step more mindful. Minimal shoes are perfect for all ages and for any foot shape and I have been trying some out just recently from Wildling Shoes.

As a family with 2 very active boys, we are always on the lookout for new places to visit and things to do. They love being outside, exploring, climbing and running and we are fortunate enough to live in an area of Hampshire that is very close to the M3, which can lead us to many fantastic spots, including the latest addition to Windsor Great Park – Adventure Play. This handcrafted adventure playground has had a lot of hype around its opening so we just had to go along to see what it was all about. Here is our honest review…

SURI Sustainable Electric Toothbrush Review

*Affiliate Links

When I started making plastic-free swaps around the home the bamboo toothbrush was one of the first products I tried. Everybody online seemed to be sharing them, saying how good they are for the planet and what an easy swap it was and I did agree to an extent but having used an electric toothbrush for most of my life, switching back to a manual brush just didn’t quite feel right to me. I didn’t like the sensation, I would press too hard to try and get that decent fresh clean feel but would just end up with sore gums and I really didn’t like the results – my teeth certainly didn’t look as white. I was really disappointed but when it comes to things like oral health or any health, you have to put that first and so I went back to the drawing board to see what my other options were… And this is when I stumbled across SURI. They are a sustainable electric toothbrush brand that has designed and created the world’s first plant-based electric toothbrush which is fully repairable and recyclable. I went straight ahead and bought one and have now been using this toothbrush for around 10 months so I thought it was about time I wrote up an honest review…

Who Gives a Crap Recycled Toilet Paper Review

*Affiliate Links

When we first started to make eco-swaps within our home one area that I knew we needed to make big changes in was the bathroom. With products coming in plastic bottles, plastic tubes, and single-use plastics used for wrapping, it was an environmental nightmare. And so I began my research into more eco-friendly items, how to reduce our plastic use and how to choose more sustainable products. Once you begin to learn what is available, it feels so simple and with more and more ethical and eco products being developed making these swaps has never been easier. One such simple swap was our move to plastic-free, recycled toilet paper. It sounds so basic, doesn’t it? But choosing to regularly avoid plastic and virgin materials can have such a big positive impact on our environment and switching to Who Gives a Crap toilet paper allows you to be more sustainable, effortlessly.

Having now been using this brand for the last 4 years I thought it was about time that I gave you an honest Who Gives a Crap review.
