Hello! Long time no see. It’s still (somehow) summer, even though it doesn’t feel like it. So, how about a final summer recipe? This uses spinach and courgette, which are both in season in summer. This recipe serves two, but if you want more or less, have more or less! Enjoy! Ingredients: 4 handfuls ofContinue reading “Courgette and spinach pasta”

DIY Air freshener
Have you ever wondered whether you can make your own air freshener? Well the answer is, yes you can.

My Haircare Routine
I’ve talked a bit about zero waste and low waste skin care before, but I’ve never really talked about haircare.

To take my make-up off, I use the Little Green Wood make-up remover pads and coconut oil, which works really well for my skin.
