There are lots of people I know who want to start reducing their plastic waste but maybe don’t know where the hell to start. Well I’m here to tell you it’s MUCH easier than you think it is and the bathroom is a great place to start. 🛁 A regular bathroom is usually full of different kinds of products to do different things, clean your body, style your hair, make you smell nice, clean your teeth etc. Firstly, actually have a look at all the products you have in your bathroom. Once I started clearing out all the products in my bathroom and started using simple, natural recipes I not only spend a lot less money, I also now feel like life is so much simpler. Here’s my top minimalist, plastic free bathroom tips >>> link in bio 🧻 featuring @whogivesacraptp @lovetheplanetuk @lush @ecofemme @greenpeopleuk @sploshofficial 🌿

As autumn kicks in I can’t help but feel sad for the end of summer. Autumn just reminds me that everything is going into hibernation and preparing for a long cold spell. I hate being cold and I’m not a big fan of winter in the UK... 🥶 what are your favourite things to look forward to this time of year? Help me become more optimistic about winter! ❄️

I am soooo excited about the future 😁 I finish my crazy summer of 6 day work weeks in 2 weeks time and I’m planning some really exciting things this winter....! ❄️ to be confirmed very very soon... 😍

What are your top tips to look after yourself? I thought I was getting better at it but apparently I’m not 😂 I have a habit of working myself into the ground which isn’t a great habit to have. I need to take more time for myself but I never prioritise it. I think it’s quite a common trait to have, especially for millennials, but why? Currently at the gym dreading a class I’ve just booked.... 😩 what are your go to activities for self love?

This is my shopping. I buy 20 bags of ice, usually some fruit and mint once every 2 weeks or so. Not my personal shopping I might add, it’s for work. Every time I come out of the store with a trolley like this I feel like crap. I feel like shouting ‘not my choice!’ At people who eye me up funny. But at the end of the day I have to do what I have to do. I’m a manager of an events bar part time and one of my jobs is to buy the stock we need for the event. I can’t go to a farmers market for the fruit because 1) they might not have enough and 2) it’s so much more expensive and it’s not my money. I’ve tried multiple times to suggest investing in an ice machine but it’s logistically not easy and it would take YEARS for the investment to be worth it financially. Ice in plastic bags for £1 each is SO CHEAP it's a no-brainer for a small business.⠀ At first I was so embarrassed at this, thinking I’m a such a hypocrite, I should NEVER share this on my blog, hide it, pretend it doesn’t happen and get through to the end of the season. But then I realised... Up against the gigantic single use plastic industry I don't have a leg to stand on. And that is completely fucked up. We're told that bringing our own bags, reusable cups and refusing straws is enough! Well done everyone you're now an eco warrior. But the harsh truth is that we still have a HUGE battle. Small wins may keep us motivated but they actually don't even make a dent in reversing the amount of destruction that is still going on to the environment. So what do we do?

Buy quality over quantity!! Our grandparents generation used to make do and mend everything! 50 years later (or less) and we’re buying cheap clothing and throwing them out after wearing them once or twice and they fall apart. I’ve really made a more conscious effort in the last few years to buy less and buy better. Not only am I now contributing less to the mountain of discarded clothing, I’m spending way less in the long run, I’m less attached to ‘shopping’ and I appreciate my clothes so much more!! I love finding good quality products that I know will last me years! @organicbasics very kindly sent me some products to try out and I can safely say that after 3 months of wearing them almost every day and after many, many washes they are still almost as good as new. They’re supportive, soft and they just feel so great to wear ☺️ expensive? Yes. Worth it? For suuuuuure 🌿♥️ #gifted

Do you work too much? I think it’s part of normal society to end up over working ourselves these days, there’s always so much to do and not enough time. My problem is I can’t say no. Wondering why have I not learnt this yet...

In 15 mins we picked up all of this trash on a beach in the west coast of Ireland. Featuring; a LOT of fishing rope, plastic bottles, glass alcohol bottles and a pair of bikini bottoms 😣 this is actually quite a clean beach compared to many I’ve come across 😭 #take3forthesea

1 week til I’m back in this beautiful place ♥️ being here just makes me always feel so calm. 😌⠀ Where is your favourite place in the world? 🌍
