We didn’t give up meat because we don’t like the taste of… Continue reading Day 29: 90 Minutes That Will Change Your Life
Day 26: The Solution Is In The ‘Palm’ Of Your Hand!

At the moment, all major supermarkets are able to maintain this (though to varying degrees), and as this is the only place I am encountering people outside my household, I am yet to wear a face… Continue reading Day 21: To mask or not to mask, that is the question

Day 15: Good things come in Smol packages
Day 15 and it’s the last day before the ‘big shop’, so nothing exciting on the menu I’m afraid (if you are interested, the menu is at the end of this post). What I will share instead is my favourite new eco-product: Smol Laundry Capsules. The best thing about it is it only cost me… Continue reading Day 15: Good things come in Smol packages
