Fragrance Free

Following on from my Limonene & Linalool post in September 2019 here are some further good buys I’ve found in the following months which might be helpful for those of you who have sensitive skin or allergies. Dishwasher I initially switched from my usual dishwasher tablets to Ecover Zero tablets which are fragrance free but…

Back to Beauty Pie…

Before we begin I’d like to thank those of you that enjoyed my previous Beauty Pie post last February and got in touch to tell me! Especially those lovelies who decided to trial Beauty Pie themselves by clicking on my Refer A Friend link in the post. The response was more than I could have…

Look what’s back!

We watch more than our fair share of TV I reckon. We’re not ones for mid-week hobbies. When I get home after a long day I immediately start making dinner. I am not inclined to skip off to Zumba, Thai cooking class or a design your own butt plug workshop or whatever it is that…

EcoPress

We have one of those diddy little coffee machines that use Nespresso capsules. A few years ago they were all the rage and I bought one for my husband. He loves it and uses it often. Every now and then packages arrive containing all kinds of seductive sounding coffees and it makes him very happy….

Winter Colour

Regular readers of this blog may remember way back in November 2018 I had lofty ideas of having “winter colour” in my garden (click here). I enthusiastically planted up two large pots with hellebores and cyclamens. Well… nothing happened. The cyclamens were fine and later died off but the hellebores didn’t flower at all. All…

New Year, New Podcast?

I don’t really want to talk about my recent absence (see previous post here) so I won’t be talking about it in any great detail but just wanted to say thank you for the messages I received from people who read this blog. Strangers, with whom I have never exchanged a word with before, contacted…

Absence

Apologies for the absence. To touch on it briefly, we have suffered a close bereavement. In early September one of the kids in our family (not mine) passed away, suddenly and unexpectedly, and we have all been trying to navigate our way through the unspeakable shock and loss. I really don’t want to discuss it…

smol

Just a quick post about this little company that I love! smol claim to have made the most effective concentrated laundry capsule in the world. They don’t sell in the shops so you buy directly from them and your order comes through the door at monthly intervals. And there are big savings to be made….

Limonene & Linalool

Regular readers of this blog will know that my teenage daughter has coeliac disease. This means she can’t ingest gluten. She adheres to a strict gluten free diet and we have to be careful about cross contamination. She was diagnosed six years ago and we haven’t stepped out the front door since without having to…

Hello Fresh

Hello Fresh is a meal kit subscription service. Essentially what happens is a courier delivers a box to your door each week containing ingredients for the meals you have chosen from a set list. I signed up a few months ago because I felt like we were stuck in a rut. I don’t consider myself…
