Most of us have a dream home in our heads, even if we don’t realize it. Think about it – when you were a kid, you probably dreamt of living in a mansion, or a penthouse apartment, or a little cabin in the woods (dream houses look different for everyone!).

There are a lot of ways to save up for your dream apartment and not all of them are obvious.

Every family works differently, but there are always areas that we can all improve upon. Whether it’s making more of an effort to share chores or making a conscious choice to eat dinner together at the table, working on screentime or actively giving to charity, there will be something in your household that can be bettered.

What this is will vary from family to family, but here are three positive changes that will work for every family and that will have a big impact. Best of all, they are all changes that can be implemented immediately and will be beneficial for your children to learn.

All You Need To Know About Using A Menstrual Cup

Posted on by Emma Reed

Plastic-free periods have been taking the spotlight in the last few years and having several choices now means that every period can be more comfortable, more affordable in the long run and better for your health as well as for the environment. The three options that are currently available to use are cloth sanitary pads (CSP), period pants and the menstrual cup. All three can be used, washed and reused. You can choose just one, you may want to choose two options or you can mix it up and go for all three. For example, on heavier days you may feel better wearing a period pant as you get that all round protection, at night you may like CSP and for swimming the menstrual cup may be your go to plastic-free period product. The joy of having all of these is that you can choose what will work for you.

Cleaning Products That Make Being More Eco-Friendly Simple

Having a clean home is important but this has long been associated with chemicals, plastic bottles, plastic sponges and non-recyclable items. When you walk down the cleaning aisle in the supermarket you are stepping into an area that has a product for every job imaginable and it is easy to become overwhelmed, to feel as though you need it all and to go away with a trolley filled with plastic, which is why sourcing your cleaning products (including your brushes, sponges, scrubbers, etc) elsewhere is far more beneficial. SaveMoneyCutCarbon can meet all of your eco cleaning needs and more, and I am going to take a closer look at some of the eco-friendly cleaning products that they recommend and also some of my personal favourites.
