A Buyer's Archive | Nov '19

Friday, November 29, 2019
I've been very restrained this month. I had a charity shop rummage at the beginning of the month with Sophie and Kezzie and usually I buy rather a lot! This time around I purchased this orange jumper for £2.50. That's it. (I say that's it. That's it on the clothes front, I did buy books, I can't go charity shopping and buy nothing...

A Shopping Challenge for 2020

Tuesday, November 26, 2019
In April this year Glamour magazine wrote that on average we wear an item of clothing just 14 times in the UK (not that they quoted the source of the findings). In France it's higher at 30 wears. 30 wears is also the number that Livia Firth, Co-founder and Creative Director of Eco-Age, puts on a purchase, saying "The biggest message is every...

Eco Swaps #3

Friday, November 22, 2019
Another plastic free swap I've made in recent months is toothpaste. Back in June I purchased Georganics Natural Toothpaste from Peace With The Wild. I've always been a little skeptical about natural toothpastes but the increasing desire to reduce plastic in our household was the push I needed to give it a try. It smells lovely, very minty. The flavour however leaves something...

#30Wears | Grey Slouchy Jumper

Tuesday, November 19, 2019
I purchased this H&M jumper in a charity shop in April last year, knowing that it'd fit into my wardrobe with ease. A simple light grey jumper has featured in my wardrobe for as long as I can remember, in fact I currently have three jumpers that fit this description. It would've been four if I hadn't exercised some restraint on my last...

This Week

Friday, November 15, 2019
I didn't blog much in October, not for any particular reason, I was simply feeling uninspired, not just with blogging but in life in general. I'm pleased to say I'm feeling more upbeat, which might have something to do with the upcoming festivities (note how I didn't use the C word there?). It's been a really nice week, here are some highlights. On...

60 Questions | Part 2

Tuesday, November 12, 2019
Following on from Part 1, here are the remaining 30 Q&As. 31. What is something you're tired of? Assumptions. Because they are usually based on the persons own feelings and experience, and have nothing to do with actual facts of the situation, meaning assumptions are usually wrong. 32. What is a city you want to visit? Rome, Venice, Barcelona, Istanbul... 33. Heels or...

60 Questions | Part 1

Friday, November 08, 2019
I've read a few these 60 Questions posts in recent months (Bev & Kezzie). I'm going to split my answers over two posts to keep it at a manageable length. 1. What’s the best thing that happened to you this month? This month has hardly started but so far it's been that Andy was able to take an afternoon off, we had an...
