JOJOE Seamless Eco Underwear Review

May 14, 2021 No Comments

Hi Lovelies,

Happy to be bringing you this review of the ultra comfortable JOJOE seamless eco underwear. I was delighted to be sent the wonderful gift of a chic black set of bra set to review on the blog. Thanks so much to the team over at Jojoe! Needless to say, the underwear set is very pretty and stylish so a big thumbs up for that of course.

The bra and briefs are casual daywear style but what I really love about them is they are very modern and sexy too. The bottoms have a trendy cut-out at the back which is quite feminine and gives them an edgy appeal. read more

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

October 2, 2020 No Comments

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

Eco Friendly Dental Supplies by Brushd

January 24, 2020 No Comments

Hi Lovelies,

I have been so busy lately, but I’ve been wanting to do a post on my latest find, eco friendly dental supplies by Brushd. Hope you are all enjoying the new year, even though January can be a drag. I have decided to start my new years resolutions on February 1st this year instead, since January is a miserable month altogether I think!

Anyhoo, I want to get healthy and fit again as that seems to have slipped big time for me over the last few months. Feeling very sluggish and much like a couch potato at the moment. Another big thing on my agenda for new year, new me is fixing my dental issues. read more
