Hello! This week, I have a simple drink recipe for you. It’s really refreshing and the majority of the ingredients are around this time of year. Mint and cucumbers can both be harvested in summer. You can also make this drink as a gin and tonic if you like. Hopefully, you’ll have some lovely warmContinue reading “Cucumber and Mint Drink”

My New Job
So, I haven’t been posting as regularly as I normally do (sorry) because I have a new job! I thought that I’d use this opportunity to explain my new job to you and let you know what I’m getting up to. Who am I working for? I’m doing an internship with a company called Project:Continue reading “My New Job”
DIY Air freshener
Have you ever wondered whether you can make your own air freshener? Well the answer is, yes you can. Air fresheners are one source of plastic that we often ignore – if you only buy a few a year it won’t make much difference will it? Well unfortunately it is part of the 8 millionContinue reading “DIY Air freshener”
Seasonal Pesto
It’s time for another seasonal recipe! This time, it’s homemade pesto. I love pesto, I could eat it every day (and I pretty much did when I was at uni). Fresh pesto is really tasty, particularly when it’s getting warmer outside! I like to use this pesto for hot pasta dishes, pasta salads and toContinue reading “Seasonal Pesto”
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. 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”
Eco Burnout and Eco Anxiety
I love my masters degree, I love my blog and I love talking about the planet, but sometimes I feel exhausted and sad about it. Anyone else? I’d imagine, pretty much everyone. This is basically a form of burnout, just climate specific burn out. Burnout is ‘the feeling of being exhausted due to excessive andContinue reading “Eco Burnout and Eco Anxiety”
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”
