My 2016 has been radically different than any other year that I’ve had in many ways. After my year of downsizing in 2015 and starting to shift my ideas of consumerism, I become obsessed in many ways of what I was doing to not only help the planet, but I was doing to harm it. And everything changed. The way I shopped, the way I viewed possessions, the money that I spent on meaningless crap, and the things I threw away. They way I reused things, refused things and recycled things. And I promise, that if I can do this – the former self proclaimed ‘queen of crap’, that anyone can do it. Anyone can choose to #gogreen2017. So what is ‘Going...
This is the last #truelovetuesdays for 2016! The last few months have flown by, and my Tuesday visits to Blue Cross are a highlight of my week. Not only have I been smooched and kissed and cuddled by the most beautiful pups, but I’ve been blown away by the dedication of the team. We had a special visitor on this weeks episode too! Sophia from Green Tails Pet Nutrition came past and donated a whole lot of her amazing organic pureé and treats for the pups – and Hank, Holly and Stella even got some to try! They loved it. Check out this weeks episode below, and let’s get Moose a home! Moose is a 6 month old Bull Arab x, is a little...

Where we sit as a society right now, is on top of a large rubbish tip – also known as Planet Earth. We’re trashing our home, making a bed of our waste… and now we must lay in it. I saw my neighbours bin the other day, overflowing with plastic milk cartons, chip packets, polystyrene meat trays, and it bought back the fact that not everyone knows the best way to reduce waste in their home. While some of this may be second nature, it’s not that way for all. Reducing plastic, waste and packaging in your home may take time, but can be done in small incremental steps to make it sustainable long term. Here are some easy tips...
Last year I shared my favourite eco friendly and cruelty free gifts for Christmas. It was such a popular blog and I couldn’t wait to do it again! My idea of gifting is somewhat different than most. I want to gift something more than just a throwaway trifle, or something that’ll be used and forgotten about, or something that harms the earth and its inhabitants. Now don’t get me wrong, I love giving and receiving gifts as much as the next person, but I want it to actually MEAN something, and I want it to make a difference. I’ve been guilty of buying rubbish, and have been guilty of leaving unwanted gifts in their boxes and dropping them off at the local...
