I’ve talked a bit about zero waste and low waste skin care before, but I’ve never really talked about haircare. This is mostly because I’ve been through a bit of trial and error, particularly over lockdown. So, this week I thought I’d breakdown what products I use on my hair and how I look afterContinue reading “My Haircare Routine”

Tomato Soup Recipe
In the UK, spring isn’t generally that warm. I know I’m still wrapped up in jumpers, and so I love a comforting but fresh soup to have for lunches. My favourite soup is a classic Heinz tomato, but this isn’t vegan and can feel a little artificial. So, I decided to make my own. It’sContinue reading “Tomato Soup Recipe”
The Pill and the Environment
Recently, we’ve heard a lot about the Covid vaccine and potential risks of blood clots. In response, people have been talking about the blood clot risk related to the contraceptive pill and how this isn’t talked about very much. Something that is talked about even less than this is the environmental impact of the pill,Continue reading “The Pill and the Environment”
Homemade Nutella
Nutella is one of my favourite foods. I love pairing it with peanut butter and apple slices as a pudding or a snack, which is basically what I would have most afternoons when I came home from school (when I was still in school). But then, I found out that ferrero who make nutella didn’tContinue reading “Homemade Nutella”
Homemade Peanut Butter
One of my newest favourite foods, peanut butter is so delicious. But, it virtually always has palm oil (sometimes sustainable) in the ingredients list, and every time I buy it I acquire a new jar (which we all know I don’t need). So, I decided to try making my own. Now, I like chunky peanutContinue reading “Homemade Peanut Butter”
Cold Weather and Global Warming
So, we’re being told that the planet is heating up. Without big changes, the sea levels will rise dramatically, some countries will be too hot to live in and our reliance on air conditioning will be a catch-22. But if the planet is warming, why has the weather been so cold? Across the world, thereContinue reading “Cold Weather and Global Warming”
Homemade Bath Salts
This week, I tried out a few recipes for the first time, and here is the first one! My mum loves baths, and she’s very keen on bath salts. Whenever I’ve bought her bath salts, I’ve tried to buy plastic free, sustainable etc – but what could be more sustainable than making them myself? ItContinue reading “Homemade Bath Salts”
I did Januhairy
So, in this extremely weird time, lockdown 3.0, I just sort of… stopped shaving? It started because I ran out of razorblades, and then by the time I got some, I had gotten into the habit of not bothering. Then, I suddenly realised that actually, I didn’t feel like shaving. Unwittingly, I had taken partContinue reading “I did Januhairy”
Things I don’t do Zero Waste
Ouch, what a title. Potentially a controversial statement, but I think that it is more important for everyone to reduce their waste than for some people to eliminate their waste. In a perfect world, I would be zero waste all the time, but particularly in a pandemic that is very difficult. So, this week, IContinue reading “Things I don’t do Zero Waste”
DIY All Purpose Cleaner
I find that cleaning products are one of the things that people tend to be sceptical about swapping when they want to lower their waste. I get it, we’re set in our ways and we like to use reliable products. But, there are many reasons to try zero-waste cleaning. Firstly, it’s often cheaper, because itContinue reading “DIY All Purpose Cleaner”
