Have you ever slept in linen sheets? If you haven’t, I recommend you invest in SOL Organics 100% Certified European Linen bedding immediately (you can thank me later). Before SOL’s linen bedding came into my life, I was quite happy to continue sleeping and dreaming on their certified organic cotton sheets. But when the brand...
Combining cute mascots, productivity, games, and environmentalism is a good way to make me obsessed with something. The world of productivity apps is crowded, and honestly most of them don’t really help, or make tasks needlessly complex. However, I find them necessary to give me either the encouragement to develop good habits, like doing yoga...
Sleep is crucial to our mental health and physical well-being, improves our immunity, helps to regulate our weight and enables us to concentrate and function optimally. Because of this, we go to great lengths to create the right atmosphere for a good night’s sleep. Along with removing the TV from the bedroom, keeping your smartphone...
Tossing and turning and can’t seem to get comfy in bed? Have sensitive skin or suffer from skin allergies and your bed sheets causing irritation? I understand your frustrations.

Au Naturale Cosmetics sent me some of their summer collection to review. They’re...
Beauty subscription boxes aren’t really my cup of green tea. We’ve been approached a few times to feature them on EWP and each time I’m thinking, Ugh those beauty samples in single-use packaging are so friggin’ wasteful! I don’t care how nice-smelling the organic moisturiser is, any trial-size beauty and skincare items in plastic packaging just...
What’s the secret to my extremely productive days of late? Wonderfully soft organic cotton bed sheets, 300 thread count fair trade duvet cover and luxurious pillow cases thanks to our new partnership with Sustained Organic Living (SOL) or SOL Organics. Since recently changing over to SOL’s organic bed sheets, I have been gushing about its luxuriousness almost every...

However, everyone will eventually find themselves in a situation without easy access to unpackaged water, and will ultimately reach for a plastic bottle rather than face dehydration. It feels like...
Over the years, I have watched many purpose-driven businesses fold; the free market is unpredictable and doesn’t prioritise businesses with heartfelt missions. In order for ethical businesses, in fact any business, to survive in the marketplace, it must offer a product or service customers are willing to purchase; it must adapt to changes within the...
Each year I am introduced to a plethora of new eco-friendly brands by PR agents hoping that I’ll make the switch over to their client’s product or at the very least, that I’ll do an Instagram shout out. Here’s what many PR reps fail to realise: that I make many household products myself and I...
