Nordgreen watch

Review | Nordgreen Sustainable Watch

Do you know what? I haven’t worn a watch since before having my children! I always used to wear one but the clasp kept getting snagged on things and I didn’t want to hurt their little gentle skin on the cold strap when they were tiny. Checking the time seemed to somehow naturally shift to constantly checking my mobile phone but I must admit that gets really tiresome especially if you don’t always want to have your phone on you. A simple solution would be to now go back to wearing a watch but with sustainability being a really important factor for me, I wanted to ensure I could find a brand that ticked all of my boxes. Nordgreen is one such company who have not only created a sleek and stylish range of sustainable and vegan watches for both men and women but who are also passionate about the impact they have on our planet. They sent me a women’s watch from their Infinity range and this is my review.

REAL Kombucha Review

*Ad

As somebody who isn’t a big drinker especially at home, I am always on the lookout for a drink that is refreshing and a nice alternative to alcohol. I’d heard of Kombucha from a few friends online and I often see people brewing their own so I was quite curious about what it actually was and how it tasted. REAL Kombucha then got into contact to ask if I would like to give their brews a try so I thought this was a great opportunity to see what everyone was talking about.

What first comes to mind when you think about saving water? Turning the tap off when you brush your teeth? Using a watering can rather than a hose? Choosing the eco setting on your dishwasher? All of these are true but have you ever wondered about your shower head? Did you know that with the right one, you could have a far better showering experience whilst saving up to 60% of the water you use?! Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? The hansgrohe Rainfinity 3jet EcoSmart hand shower is one of these and I was sent one to review by SaveMoneyCutCarbon so I could really see the benefits for myself.

Review | Scentered Aromatherapy Wellbeing Balms and Candles

*Ad

As a busy Mum of 2 very active boys, I find self-care to be one of the hardest things on my (long) list to squeeze into my week. I certainly think that going from a slower-paced life to a faster one after lockdown has been a bit of a shock to the system and I have felt as though I have burnt myself quite a bit. I know they say that you can’t pour from an empty cup which is why I am actively trying to make more time for me and one way I have been doing this is by trying out Scentered Aromatherapy Wellbeing Balms and Candles which were sent to me in both the De-stress and Sleep well scents for review.
