Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and it’s one of those holidays where some of us just aren’t too sure about what to get our significant other.

Get to Know Green People
As humans we are inquisitive and resourceful creatures, when we need something and can’t find it, we’ll create it ourselves. That’s exactly what happened for Charlotte Vøht in 1994. Her daughter Sandra suffered multiple skin allergies along with eczema, and although Charlotte tried to find skin care products made with natural ingredients that would be gentle on her daughter’s skin, but it turns out most cosmetics found on the high street contained chemicals – they only needed to have less than 1% of natural or organic ingredients to be labelled ‘natural’.
Sustainable Fashion
If you browse our fashion range you’ll hopefully notice a theme – it’s made from sustainable materials. But what is a sustainable material, and why does it matter what your clothes are made of? Our shopping habits have changed over the last decade, we are buying more clothes than ever, and it’s having an impact on our environment. Sustainable materials are those that have minimal environmental impact when they are grown, made and degrade, typically the clothes made from these materials last longer too.
Ethical Beauty from Avalon Organics
When browsing through our beauty brands you’ve probably seen Avalon Organics pop up a few times. Avalon Organics was founded on the belief that all beauty comes from the Earth, with a deep respect for all living creatures, which is why their products are made with all natural ingredients.

Natural Skin Care from Organic Surge
I’m notoriously bad at taking care of my skin, I do have a beauty routine – I just don’t stick to it! For as long as I can remember I’ve loved buying cosmetics, trying out new things on my problem skin, and recently I’ve discovered a love of natural skin care from brands like Organic Surge.
What Should I Put in my NutriBullet?
It’s the start of a New Year, almost a week after we’ve gorged ourselves on roast dinners, cheeseboards, mountains of chocolate, and – for many of us – too many glasses of Prosecco. It’s likely you’ve dusted off that Nutribullet or smoothie maker that’s been in the back of the cupboard since last January, and you’re wondering what exactly should you put in it? Well, this describes me perfectly at least! Continue reading What Should I Put in my NutriBullet?
Eco Disposable Nappies from Moltex
Our nappies from Moltex have had a little make over – but they are still the same eco-friendly nappies we know and love! I have a 16 month old nephew who has been wearing Moltex nappies since the beginning of the year (he’s just grown into size 4!). My sister likes to Use Moltex because they are better for the environment, perform just as well as non-eco brands and are about the same price anyway!
