*The pads mentioned in this post were gifted in exchange for a review but opinions and images are my own* Why Reusable Pads? You’ve probably seen it in the news or on social media that a nappy would take 500 years to decompose in a landfill – Single-use sanitary towels are no different. Being made predominantly from plastic, just one sanitary towel will outlive generations of your family and when you consider how many of those, one menstruating person would use through their period years, it’s no wonder that people are starting to look at more eco-friendly alternatives, myself included.

It’s hard not to feel helpless when we talk about the future of our planet, isn’t it? On the one hand, so many of us are trying to make little changes in our day to day lives but then on the other, big corporations are doing the exact opposite. I mean, did you know that just 100 companies have been the source of more than 70% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. What’s the point in me having a reusable bottle with all that going on? We’ve made changes in our home, of course, but there is still so much more we can be doing. Off the top of my head, we have changed our laundry detergent to a ..read more

Yes! For the first time ever, the Rickerby family is going camping. We have never had a family holiday. We had planned a trip to Butlins last year but Covid put stop to that – So this is going to be our first holiday and we’ll probably learn a lot! Our Tent We opted for the Hi Gear Zenobia 6. It’s fairly spacious, it’s got a bedroom at each end and a sort of living area in the middle. The reviews are good and it has plenty of room for all 5 of us. We’ve practised putting it up twice now and it’s so easy to put together. The kids have helped too which is nice. I’m glad they’re excited. A practi ..read more

Garden Design – with a focus on creating wildlife habitats and increasing biodiversity. Sounds great, right? Well, that’s my latest scheme. Grand plan. Light bulb moment. Big idea. I have the kind of personality where I often find myself jumping from one thing to the next and not really finishing anything – but with this one, I’m hesitant because I don’t want to waste it or fuck it up or fall out of love with it. Lately, I’ve come to realise that I really enjoy creating habitats for wildlife and even more than that, I get mega excited when I see wildlife actually using said habitats. Take my ..read more

pixabay Don’t stick to the touristy parts of a city that you visit, you should go well beyond the usual hotspots for foreigners and merge with the locals. This is a daunting task for some people because you may not speak the language, you know you stand out by your appearance and you could be treated differently i.e. charged higher prices for products. But not everyone would like to take advantage of you, and there are plenty of ways you can savvy up on the local customs before you step foot on the plane. There are lots of reasons why you should go rogue and mingle with the locals on your trav ..read more

Silk flowers are ideal for any event. From weddings and anniversary parties, to birthday occasions and corporate events, flowers are the perfect finishing touch. Most people assume that artificial flowers are of a low quality and look tacky. However, this is only the case if you purchase plastic flowers.  Silk flowers are truly stunning.

What if some of your guests are allergic to pollen or strong scents? Maybe they have hay fever? Just think abou ..read more

In collaboration with Hotels.com, but all views are my own. It’s been a tough old year, hasn’t it? The last 12 months have really hit so many of us in so many different ways and today being Valentines Day has made me think about the last time Liam and I had some proper quality time on our own. But with vaccines being given more and more each day and the number of covid cases coming down, we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and we are looking forward to getting away for just a little break. One place we’ve been thinking about visiting is Edinburgh. At the moment we a ..read more
