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.

Review | Lazy Bear Recycled PET Foldable Bum Bags

Posted on October 19, 2021October 20, 2024 by Emma Reed

As a busy family and dog owners we are never seen out and about without some sort of bag but what I realised during the summer months was that it started to become quite tiresome always carrying one. There wasn’t any way we could get around it, not with a potty training toddler, the warm weather (meaning we needed water) plus long walks where we’d need snacks so we just got on with it but I was then asked by TrendHim to review some of their Lazy Bear recycled PET Lawson grey and red foldable bum bags and they have been a complete gamechanger.

I have been working with the wonderful SaveMoneyCutCarbon all year and each month I get the opportunity to talk to you about different eco products that could help to save the environment whilst saving you money. This month I have had the chance to focus on just one brand, one I haven’t ever tried before, so it has been really nice to be introduced to it and to find that there are even more amazing eco companies around. Here is my review of their Ecozone products…

Review | Rocky Road Non-Toxic Play Mat by Pure Earth Collection

Posted on October 1, 2021October 20, 2024 by Emma Reed

When it comes to choosing eco-friendly kids toys, there are plenty of options on the market and many of us are aware about the importance of choosing durable, ethically sourced, sustainable ones over the plastic fad items but have you ever thought about your children’s play mat? Did you know that most are made from EVA or PVC both of which contain plastics and toxins? The Non-Toxic Play Mats by Pure Earth Collection are a far more eco option. Made only from natural sustainable plus biodegradable rubber and cork these are an ideal choice and we were sent a Rocky Road Play Mat to review…

Treasure Seasons Project Box Review

Posted on August 3, 2021October 23, 2024 by Emma Reed

Having two children who love to keep busy means that I am always on the lookout for plenty of fun activities that will not only challenge them but also bring them joy so when Julia from Treasure Seasons Project Boxes asked if we would like to review her summer box I was thrilled. With 12 well-thought-out projects aimed at all ages, a 50-page detailed magazine with clear instructions and photos as well as nearly all the tools you’ll need to carry each activity out, this bumper box seemed absolutely perfect for my boys. This is how we got on…

Rydale Clothing Review

Posted on July 25, 2021October 23, 2024 by Emma Reed

When it comes to finding clothing I have several items I always want to be able to check off a list: that it will last, that I feel comfortable (as a busy Mum we all need this), that it will wash well, that the company uses ethical practices/factories, that they give back and think about our environment. Having moved away from fast fashion stores, I am always on the lookout for better places to shop at and when Rydale contacted me to review some of their clothing I was really excited about what they had to offer…

Wild Deodorant Review

Posted on June 17, 2021April 29, 2025 by Emma Reed

*Information correct at the time of writing this review. In 2025, Wild was bought out by the (unsustainable) company Unilever so you will need to do your own research into this. I no longer support Wild due to this fact.

Finding a sustainable, plastic-free, natural deodorant has probably been one of the hardest parts of making my lifestyle more eco-friendly. I have tried many brands over the last couple of years and I find that they either don’t work at all, they are messy to apply or they have dried my skin out so much that it has cracked and become extremely painful. I needed a product that was in the middle ground. One that could work on my sweating but wasn’t hard to use. I’d heard great things about Wild deodorant from other people so I thought I would give it a try and here are my thoughts…

Bambino Mio Review

Posted on June 12, 2021November 21, 2024 by Emma Reed

When we started looking into cloth nappies, it was very overwhelming. There were many brands, different types of nappies, a lot of terms, and as somebody who had used disposables with her first child, I had a lot to learn. Thankfully there are some cloth nappy brands out there that can make this switch really simple by being manufactured to be quite similar in style to disposable nappies and this was why I confidently took our first steps into the cloth nappy world with the all-in-one Bambino Mio. In this Bambino Mio review I will provide everything we have experienced in using them, how they fit, absorbency, care and our overall thoughts.
