We’re going away.

I love September, it’s definitely one of my favourite months of the year. The summer heat may have faded, but the nights are still light and the weather should still be warm enough to pad about a British “Staycation” city of your choice.

Shampoos & Conditioners By Faith In Nature

Choosing a good shampoo and conditioner is a very personal thing.

Don’t Let The Weather Dampen Your Spirits

The weather has been absolutely atrocious for weeks now. If, like me, you are planning a last minute holiday somewhere a little warmer (and far less wet) you’ll be dragging out your suitcase and checking out last year’s holiday togs.

Buying clothes made to last, is a great way to maintain a more ethical wardrobe, but a couple of new purchases specifically for my jollies, always gets me a little excited!
