I can’t see out of my windows – it must be spring!
| April 22, 2012 | Filled under general |
Spring time, bird songs, first rays of sunshine … and super streaky grey windows. I guess it isn’t just the cultural expectation of cleaning and renewing your house, your life, your body with the new season. There is, shall we say, a physical necessity to scrape off the dust and dirt of the long winter… more
How green is your bamboo?
| March 30, 2012 | Uncategorized |
I keep hearing how wonderful bamboo clothing and towels are, but have always had reservations about the processes the raw material goes through to become a fabric. I see some of the products labelled as ‘Organic’ and wonder about it, so here are some facts to consider. Bamboo as a plant can be organically certified,… more
Fit for a king – washing with Moroccan earth
| January 14, 2012 | Product Reviews |
I came across the Ghassoul wash clay several years ago by accident. It was meant to be the most natural, skin friendly cleanser available – to me it simply looked like brown earth. I always liked to wash my face with water and never really got on with creamy cleansers that you simply wipe off.… more

Recently I tried a new product from the Greenfibres socks range and I am really pleased with the quality and style. The fine knee high socks are long length to the knee and the knit is fine enough to give a cosy fit under high dress boots, but are equally suitable for wellies. Although I… more

Product Review: gentle herb shampoo by Essential Care
| August 2, 2011 | Product Reviews |
I have been using Essential Care’s gentle herb shampoo for three months now. I have damaged hair, partly because I tend to get eczema on my scalp and also because I have dyed and styled my hair with hot tongs in the past. Over the years I have become more aware that normal… more
Wake up to organic bedding for kids
| July 13, 2011 | ethical matters |
I was recently approached by The Green Parent magazine to answer some questions about bedding for children. This got me thinking, about assumptions and benefits around bedding for kids… 1)Why do you think that it is important for parents to choose organic or natural fibres for their babies/children? Natural fibres should mean really breathable bedding,… more
Moth Invasion
| June 25, 2011 | Uncategorized |
At first I thought it was just me. It seemed that over the last few years more and more moths have been invading my house. Granted, my home and wardrobe are full of natural textiles, soft furnishing and clothes – it comes with the professional territory. In other words, I live in the moth… more
