5 Great Reasons Why You Should Give Reusable Nappies a Go!

As a Mum who has used both single-use nappies and reusable nappies, I can hand on heart say that reusables win hands down. There are many, many reasons why and I could easily waffle on all day giving you lots of comparisons but I don’t want to bog anybody down, I want to make things feel simple, easy and straightforward which you will hopefully see from other cloth nappy blogs I have on my site.

Review | Eco Made Easy Subscription Box from Smallkind

*Ad

Eco Made Easy is a term I live by. If you follow me on social media you will know that my posts are dedicated to showing how simple eco living can be and breaking down those myths we often hear about it being more complicated and costly. Since making many of my own eco swaps, I can honestly say that I buy less, spend less time at the shops, have just a handful of products for cleaning, and my house is nowhere near as full of “stuff” as it once was. Switching over to eco-friendly ways has completely changed my lifestyle and it can yours too. There are just so many amazing products, companies, tips and blogs out there to help you along your way and one small business has recently taken it a step further by providing a brand new service.

Smallkind is a small sustainable business that I have known for a while and they have just launched their Eco Made Easy subscription box which is specifically designed to help you on your eco journey. I was sent the very first box to review and here are my thoughts…

How To Save Money on Your Electricity Bill

*Affiliate Links

We are all very, very aware that energy bills are at an all-time high at the moment with no idea when this may change and it has many of us worried about usage, and our bills and left wondering how we can continue to afford this way of living. I’ve always thought that we have been pretty good at saving on energy because it is an area I have been hot on since upping my focus on protecting our environment. However, even with us going away for 9 days last month, our bill still came in much higher than I was expecting so I have gone back to reviewing what we do and what more we can do in order to bring this down. Of course, a lot of the energy we use/waste comes down to bad habits we get into, and some comes down to the fact that a lot of people are still working from home but there is no denying that we are in an energy crisis right now so let’s see I can help you to save money on your electricity bill.

Ruby Cup Review

*Ad

Having a plastic-free and sustainable period is really important to me. Firstly because I am always looking for ways to reduce my plastic waste, secondly because reusable products are far better for my vaginal health and thirdly because it saves me money. I have been using cloth sanitary pads and period pants for a number of years now but it took me a little longer to switch over to a menstrual cup. This product is definitely the one that many of us are a little reluctant to try out and I think that comes down to the way the cup looks. I for one was initially put off by the size and my very first purchase proved to be wrong for me which didn’t help. I went on to find another brand and even though it was better than my first experience, I hadn’t ever felt 100% comfortable wearing it. However, having carried out a lot of research on menstrual cups I knew there had to be better cup out there for me so when Ruby Cup asked me to try out and review theirs I was keen to find out if this was going to be the winner.
