Today I want to write about something a bit different… skincare. Now I know that you’re probably wondering why on earth I want to talk about skincare? Well that’s pretty understandable. However, I think that if you prefer to use natural products, and you care about the damage that we’re causing to the planet, you might find what I’ve discovered pretty interesting. That’s why I’m writing this Tropic Skincare review. An Honest Tropic Review I also want to mention before I start my review that I am now a Tropic ambassador. This has in no way has swayed my review, any thoughts expressed here are ..read more

One of the most used items in our house has to be the vacuum cleaner (or hoover). It feels like the minute I put it away in the cupboard it’s back out again to clean up the trail of crumbs that my kids seem to enjoy leaving everywhere they go. So, I’m sure that it won’t surprise you that I think that getting the right vacuum cleaner is a pretty important purchase. But with so many options to choose from it can be pretty overwhelming, especially when you’re on a limited budget! With this in mind, I thought it might be helpful to review my personal experience of a range of vacuum cleaners that ..read more

If you have been a reader of Bunny on a Budget for a while then you might remember a post I wrote back in 2014 titled Why we decided against homeschooling – at least for now. Well about 4 years have passed since writing that post and things have certainly changed. As of September 2018 we made the leap and took our two boys out of school! So I wanted to tell you how we got started and share some tips if you’re thinking about homeschooling yourself. How to get started If you have already decided that homeschooling is the right choice for you and your family, or, if you’re still in the proce ..read more

A little while back I told you about a different eco-friendly washing detergent I was wanting to try called ‘Soap Nuts’. I heard about them from a friend of mine who was thrilled with the totally natural and mild detergent. After using them for a few weeks I thought that it would be a good time to let you know how I got on. What are Soap Nuts? If you haven’t heard of soap nuts* before, then here is a quick overview of what they are. Soap nuts (or Indian wash nuts) are a totally natural product that grow on trees in areas such as South India. They are are harvested in October and dried out. Onc ..read more

Ok, so I have made an exciting new discovery today that I really want to share with you all! Maybe you already know about it and I’m just finally catching up, but even if that’s true I have to write about it anyway Have you ever heard of Soap Nuts*? I was just introduced to them today as my friend is trying them out. As she was pretty excited about them, I thought that I’d look into them myself to see if they are worth a try. What are Soap Nuts? Soap Nuts – also know as Indian Wash Nuts – are a 100% natural washing detergent which are a great alternative for our normal chemical based laundry ..read more

I have finally joined the millions of Brits who order their weekly food shop online! You may be thinking that it has taken me way too long and that I’m only just catching up with the modern world, which I suppose is true, but there is a good reason for this. I have always found the delivery charges a bit on the expensive side and not really worth my while when I live so close to a supermarket. However, the Tesco Delivery Saver* has made me think again! Having said all that, I do still like to shop smart so I want to tell you how I make ordering my food shop online work for me. What is the Tesc ..read more

Recently, my husband and I bought our two boys a Nintendo Switch*. Personally, I didn’t know much about them, I wasn’t sure exactly how it worked or whether it would be easy for our boys to use as they are only 7 and 8 years old. However, my husband did all of the research and felt that it would be a great gift. I on the other hand was still a bit confused as to why it was so different from the game consoles that they already had, but figured that I’d just go along with it. We’ve had it for only a few days, so it’s still very early in our Nintendo Switch experience, but I thought that it would ..read more

Buying a new kettle should be one of the simplest tasks you can do. However, there are so many different options to choose from when shopping for a kettle nowadays, such as deciding between an electrical or a stove top kettle or choosing between a modern, retro or heritage look. However, I think that the hardest choice to make is whether to buy a metal kettle or a plastic kettle. The reason I say this is because it is pretty straightforward to pick between an electrical or stove top kettle as it depends on whether you have the time and patience to wait for the stove top kettle to boil. Al ..read more

With around 8.5 million pet dogs in the UK, it’s pretty safe to say that we are a nation of dog lovers. However, owning a dog does bring with it a lot of responsibility, and one of the most important decisions that we are responsible for is choosing what to feed our four legged friends. A recent tv advert from Pets at Home* has brought to light the fact that a lot of the dog food that’s out there is actually not as good for our pets as we’d expect. So, this got me wondering, how do we know if the food we are feeding our dogs is good and also how exactly is our dogs health (and also our bank ba ..read more
