Hi lovelies,

I was delighted to finally come across a sustainable contemporary and vintage fashion magazine online called Contemporary Fashion. Fast fashion is one of the worst polluters of our planet today and we need to look at changing our habits.

Contemporary Fashion shows us where to find clothing that is ethically made, sourced and delivered. On top of that, they have fabulous thrifted gear including top designer brands on their site which are readily available online.

They work with lots of ethical and smaller brands who are becoming increasingly popular. A lot of fast fashion items are cheaply made with lower quality fabrics, therefore not built to last. read more

Ethical Gift Shopping at Boostology

Hello my lovely eco-friends,

I have missed my blog so much over the summer! I have been flat-out working crazy hours in our bar and restaurant the whole time. Any free time I managed to squeeze in was spent with the family so I haven’t had any time to write. It feels good to be back at the keyboard at last. Well, the weather has started to change here and I absolutely love autumn as its a great time to snuggle up with a fluffy blanket and light some scented candles.

On that note, in my absence, I have discovered a really lovely online ethical gift shopping site, called Boostology. I happened to hear about them through the Ethical Influencers, a lovely online group who promote ethical businesses like this one. I was delighted to receive a gorgeous gift of a rose water toner mist in the post after getting in touch with them. Let me just say, the customer service is absolutely outstanding for a start! I have to say, when dealing with independent small businesses, the whole experience is usually way more personal. Another great reason to support smaller businesses as opposed to big corporations. read more

We spend a small fortune on makeup and cosmetic products. And, whilst many are used up completely, an even larger number of items are cast aside before they’ve been fully finished.

Rather than just throwing your old makeup away, here are some ideas of what to do with it: read more

Hi Friends,

Today I am doing a review of my new fave eco-friendly reusable bamboo coffee cup and straw. Sorry I’ve been absent from the blog lately but I have been crazy busy. Moving house, renovating our new bar and restaurant and having guests come to stay. We are opening in just over a week so it has been a tad hectic to say the least! I will be updating you guys on that soon but I want to spread the word about my latest fab finds first!

I am a member of the Ethical Influencers team and as a lovely perk of that, I was given the opportunity to receive a gift of choice from a wonderful eco-friendly and sustainable shop called WAKEcup. They sell a range of sustainable everyday goods that help cut down on single-use plastics. I was delighted to be given the opportunity to try their eco-friendly reusable bamboo coffee cup and straw. read more
