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.

The Northern Lights

Seeing The Northern Lights in Tromso

We have recently returned from an absolutely dreamy trip to Tromso, Norway and one of the activities we got up to was of course seeing the Northern Lights. October is a great time of year to see them here and we were lucky enough to see them twice! So I thought I would share our experiences and tips from seeing the Northern Lights in Tromso.

Why Is Tromso So Good For Seeing The Northern Lights?

Tromso is a special location in which to see the Northern Lights as it sits right in the oval of them which means you can even see them when activity is considered to be low.
