Half term has started, (mid week, rather randomly!) and I think we all needed it, littles were super hyper last night! Although we won't be going far we're lucky to live somewhere that has so many beautiful places for us to enjoy some time together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It inspires us every day to work harder and do better, and also to take some time to enjoy what we have right here and now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where's your favourite outdoor place?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Simple changes series - You might think it's weird

Simple changes series - You might think it's weird that someone who owns a e-commerce store is about to say this, but we've never been ones for ordinary, so here goes...One of the simplest things we can do that can have a massive impact on the planet - Buy less stuff. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reduce. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Simple, but not always easy. Getting new stuff is nice, it can be fun, exciting. But our insatiable need for 'Stuff' is one of the biggest problems the world faces. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We also like to get our stuff at a bargain... but everything comes at a cost, even if that isn't an immediate cost to us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is the actual cost too high?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We need some stuff of course, but we can buy with Intention. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've found this checklist really helpful whenever I want to buy things...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔸️Do I really need it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔸️ How much or for how long is it going to be used?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔸️ Can I buy it second hand? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔸️ Can I borrow it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔸️ How/where was it made, and by who? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔸️ What will happen to it when I don't need it anymore?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The added advantage of this is that by buying less stuff we save money too. I know of someone who didn't go clothes shopping for a year, and saved enough money to pay for her wedding! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This week the UK government rejected a campaign to protect, by law food safety and animal welfare standards. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This leaves British farmers in competition with imports that could be produced poorly in order to be cheaper. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is damaging to not only our health, but our environment and economy too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And surely as we try and curb the climate crisis reducing food miles should be a priority. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what can you do? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Write to your MP. They need to know if you disagree with this decision .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Support British farmers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Buy British, and as local as possible ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Buy the highest standard that you can afford- for meat for example, this might mean buying less, but better. Support local butchers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Always ask/be conscious of where your food comes from. Check labels, or ask in restaurants/Cafes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The government might not want to listen to the people. But the people have the buying power at the end of the day. We can vote with our ££. We just have to be prepared to do so. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Whilst spring is my favourite season, what I love

Whilst spring is my favourite season, what I love about all seasons is that they give us a chance to connect with nature in different ways.
🍂
Autumn has to be about puddle jumping, misty mornings, dancing in the fallen leaves and harvest.
One thing I've enjoyed doing again since my littles started school is Harvest festivals. That simple act of gratitude for food to eat.
🍎
Shopping in sterile supermarkets, or grabbing some fast food its so easy to forget where the food came from.

When there's so much of it on the shelves it's so easy to forget to be grateful that it's there.
🥕
And I'm not talking about bowing down and hailing the potatoes, but being grateful if we're one of the lucky ones whose Kids get to ask "What's for dinner?" instead of "Is there dinner?"
.
Or just being grateful we got to stay clean and dry and didn't have to dig up the potatoes.
🎁
For me, gratitude has helped me regain that connection and it really does give me a greater sense of appreciation and desire to care for our amazing world.
It was really hard to write this without coming across sanctimonious! - which I'm not, so I hope I managed it.

Back in 2008 we started looking at how our choices

Back in 2008 we started looking at how our choices were affecting the planet, but we found it hard to change our buying habits because it was difficult to locate good alternatives and it took hours to find them in all their different places... We had the idea to start bringing the products we loved all together in one place so that others could find them more easily and fall in love with them too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We wanted to make it easier for people to make conscious choices and⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We wanted to make it easier for great small and local brands who wanted to make a difference be found. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We're so delighted to still be on this journey today, to be bringing you great brands who care, and to be helping you make little changes that make a big difference. We get to serve amazing people and work along side amazing people, and we learn more and grow more every day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Is it possible to have a fun-filled Halloween at h

Is it possible to have a fun-filled Halloween at home, that's also as eco-friendly as possible? Yes!

Here are a few of our ideas, some we've tried before, some are going to be a first this year.

👻 Costumes- When I was ickle ( which I'm sure wasn't THAT long ago) Halloween costumes were mostly home made. I'm not crafty but you have to be. Get the kids involved too, they'll love it even more than a fancy shop bought one.
- See what you can buy second hand. - See about gifting old costumes away or selling on.
- Re purpose things from previous years or just around the house

🎃 Pumpkins, a fortune's spent on pumpkins in the UK every year & we don't always make the most of them. Pumpkins are super nutritious

- Seeds - clean up the pumpkin seeds and roast them with a little paprika, Chili, just salt & pepper or brown sugar and honey if you want to try candied seeds. If you're not a fan you can also use them to feed birds - don't flavour them!
-Use the flesh to make a pumpkin soup, we love spicy pumpkin soup, it's super warming and filling.
- Cut up your pumpkin & pop it in the garden for birds, and critters to snack on. - But keep out of reach of hedgehogs. It's bad for their tummies.
- If all else fails compost it & recycle that goodness.

🐱 Instead of plastic covered sweets and chocolate, why not make some goodies with your littles. Like Halloween biscuits or cakes

If you do end up with sweet wrappers save them up and recycle with terracycle.

🕸 No trick or treating this year? Never fear! There are loads of fun things you can do right at home.
- See if your area is doing pumpkin trails, and you could offer a treat for each pumpkin they find, or just a stash at the end.
- Do a treasure trail or hunt round the house
🎃 - For loads more ideas see our blog. Link in bio.

Every little change, effort or thing that each and everyone of us does towards helping the planet, adds up to make a massive difference.
If you catch yourself thinking otherwise, remember that it all the little things we've done up till now that have caused the damage in the first place.
By changing those little things we start to tip the scales back the other way.
For tips, hacks (I really dislike that word!) and simple things you can do to start tipping those scales - often without spending a penny, and also a peak into the yays and oh no's! of our own eco journey make sure you're signed up to our newsletter. - link in bio.

The Simple switches- big difference series continu

The Simple switches- big difference series continues with this...Turn off lights when you're not using them. I know! It doesn't seem like a big thing does it?
Until you know this - and even I was surprised by these,

💡 The UK wastes £170 Million a year, leaving lights on unnecessarily (Energy saving trust).

💡 Lights account on average for 15% of our entire energy usage.

💡And according to Cambridge University, leaving a single light on all night uses the same amount of carbon as driving from London to Paris.
.
Not such as little thing after all!
