What fresh hell is this? Surely this is taking the whole eco-friendly thing too far? That's what my friends think anyway. I love it. I am a convert. Goodbye conditioner. Hello an old Coke bottle filled with apple cider vinegar (ACV) and water. I first heard about ACV when looking for advice about how to … Continue reading Apple Cider Vinegar Conditioner

Simple Eco Swaps

Unpaper Towels

Review: Tots Bots Cloth Nappies
We decided to go cloth quite early on in my pregnancy as we wanted to do a little bit towards saving the environment. Cloth nappies can be up to 40% better for the environment than disposable nappies depending on how you use them. The reason we went with Tots Bots was because we happened upon their stall … Continue reading Review: Tots Bots Cloth Nappies
