Reviews on my blog are all carefully chosen to ensure that they are the right fit for us as well as for you my readers. I enjoy writing these and I love being able to share great products and days’ out with you all.

You can feel assured that I won’t ever review something that doesn’t feel morally wrong, that isn’t ethical, that isn’t relevant to you guys and that just doesn’t feel right to me.

All of my reviews are open, honest and written from my point of view only. I am never swayed by a product, experience or payment.

An Honest Review of Fussy Deodorant

Posted on April 22, 2025April 22, 2025 by Emma Reed

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…

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…

Seep Eco Sponge Scourer Review and Discount Code!

Posted on January 30, 2025March 24, 2025 by Emma Reed

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…

We have recently returned from an amazing DIY Christmas trip to Lapland having had such a wonderfully, magical time and one of my favourite days had to be our visit to the Arcandia – Arctic Adventure Park. Packed full of stunning movie set buildings, beautiful lights, family games, sledging, entertainment and more, this was a day out that we all really enjoyed so I thought I would write a little review about it.

An Honest Review of The Searching For Santa Experience at The Northern Lights Village

Posted on January 5, 2025March 2, 2025 by Emma Reed

We have recently returned from a dream DIY trip to Lapland where we had such a magical time we really didn’t want to come home. During our 5 night stay, we booked the Searching for Santa experience at the Northern Lights Village in Levi for Christmas Day itself as a big treat for both of our boys – one who had his birthday that day too. I’d heard great things about this experience via a Lapland Facebook group I joined and looking at the website, it sounded like the ideal way to wrap up our special Christmas Day. As much fun as most of this 3 hour experience was, I did have some issues with parts of it and I am going to cover all of this in my honest review…

Feelgrounds Barefoot Shoes Review

Posted on October 1, 2024October 7, 2024 by Emma Reed

As a family that is always on the go whether that is dashing off on the school run, going on a long dog walk or exploring a forest one of the most important parts for us is being comfortable and having suitable footwear. Having worked in the shoe retail industry for a number of years I am big on foot health and in the last few years, I’ve been learning a lot more about the benefits of being barefoot (which I love to do) and wearing barefoot shoes. In fact, I tried out one brand for myself last year and was really impressed so when Feelgrounds contacted me about reviewing some of their adult’s and children’s barefoot shoes I was really excited. Here is how we’ve been getting on…
