The grass is certainly longer and more established The grass is certainly longer and more established since this snap from early January. 🌿 Despite Rhodie being a little naughty and pulling a few chunks of lawn up in first few weeks, the lawn is going well. 
But as sunshine starts to appear, our next project is fast approaching - our garden! I have some high hopes for our long garden plot, including a larger patio and some much needed privacy. I didn’t think I would be, but I’m rather excited to get green fingered, and hopefully create a inviting outdoor space 🌿 Any advice for our rather daunting blank canvas? I’d love to hear any ideas!

I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 Y I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 You know how it is, those childhood mementos, wedding day cards and the odd air loom just have no other place that somewhere safe, like a loft. It’s something we completely underestimated, but we managed to find someone to undertake the work and we can see the light on our current mess that is upstairs! 
Yes, I thought he was coming on Friday, and yes he did get a fright when I opened the door yesterday morning in my dressing gown, but hey ho, it’s done and I didn’t know I could be so bloody excited for some plywood in a loft!

Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our loun Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our lounge? Dunno why but my colour transformation reel isn’t showing on my grid, but it’s still kicking my around. To say I’m in love with our new colour would be a understatement. Being a bit braver in our new home is coming together, just a few finishing touches to go!

Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and s Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and steady one. We found snow on our Saturday afternoon walk! And polar bear Rhodie LOVED IT 🐶 Sunday was a slow one too, with a mid morning walk, sweet treats and even some painting! Both me and my husband have the week off, and since the splash of colour yesterday afternoon, we seem a little more eager to get more colour in our home, pronto!

How was your weekend? What did you get up to?

Just a little snap shot from our bedroom ✨I can’t show much else in all honesty, since we still have clutter in boxes, and a tv currently living on a ladder step 🙈 But hey, my perfume collection looks just perfect for now!

It’s Saturday and the usual weekly shop is the only thing on the agenda. Maybe a quick pop to get some paint too? We both have a week off and whilst we will mainly be doing sweet F-all, we may just do some decorating!

ITS FRIDAY THEN,  it’s Saturday, Sunday WHAT?!🐶 Getting our mud pit turfed was the best decision yet. Although he can’t run the entire length just yet, he often spends a lot of time just sitting on the grass and enjoying the breeze! 
God, I love him! 🥰🐶Question is, will we finally peak out here and see snow this weekend?

Going Green this summer. Things to change at home, and in the office!

** This is a collaborative post.

Great news – we seem to be hearing more and more about Green living, climate change and what we can do to help our world fight back.

We’ve all heard, Britain announced a state of emergency against Climate change in recent weeks and honestly, it’s the best thing the government seems to have done in months, possibly years. It’s been something many of us have been aware of, but possibly turned a blind eye to in recent times. But as we all become more and more aware of the plastic use and negative effect we are having on our planet, we all seem to be waking up in terms of climate change and reversing some of the damage.

The great news is, we still have time to make a change and positively impact the earth and the current global warming crisis. Whilst it would be easy to believe little old you can’t make an impact, it couldn’t be further from the truth!

We can all take small steps in trying to reduce our footprint on the world, whether it would be in our home or workplace. With a lil help from Seareach, I have gathered lots of hints and tips on how you can positively help in the reversal of climate change and global warming!

Going Paperless

Yes, we have all been asked by our banks, mortgage supplier and even our council to curb the paper and use online data and logins better.
And for good reason. Taking these small steps and using our online resources to access personal data, and even data in the workplace accounts can hugely reduce paper use and in turn the impact on our forest areas.

Solar panels

Creating and using green energy and heating systems can have a huge impact on your green footprint. Cutting down on the energy you use, and switching to climate friendly alternatives like solar panels is a great long term switch that can save you thousands of pounds and reduce your individual impact on the climate.

Business’ and homes are already taking forward steps by installing and using solar paneling.

Tip: If solar panels for your entire house is out of bounds, you can always purchase solar panel’s on a smaller scale. Using solar garden lights will help reduce energy used in your garden.

Cycle or public transport

Opting for greener transport modes like bicycles and even public transport can help reduce pollution and get you on the right path health and fitness wise.
If your workplace is lacking in a bike rack, consider raising with your HR department. With many government initiatives available, it’s now easier to purchase a bike for the use of getting to and from work.

Work a fair distance from home? Consider swapping some of the days you drive for public transport. Just doing this twice a week can help reduce your carbon footprint from lowering the pollution you emit.

Tip : Most organisations will help with the cost of purchasing a bike. Enquire with your workplace to see if they are involved.

Labelled waste bins – Suitable for recycling

Simply labeling your waste bins, or having the segregation, and home and in the workplace can encourage you and others to recycle. Having clear, concise instructions make it far easier to follow and understand. Recycle everything and anything you can.

LED bulbs

Did you know, LED bulbs use less energy and much more efficient! Using LEDs rather than halogen bulbs can save you a huge 75% on energy!
Making the switch where possible will not only save on your energy bills, but help create a more sustainable planet.

Use tap and reusable bottles

Whilst many of us already grab a reusable bottle and fill with tap water, some don’t. Using tap water and refillable bottles can dramatically reduce the amount of plastic waste from the bottles you won’t be buying, and wasting! Plus you save some cash too!
Consider having a re-usable bottle in your bag for work and when you’re out and about.

Don’t forget, having a re-usable flask will save you money too, especially in starbucks!

Motion triggered lighting / timers

Another great way to unsure your lighting is less harmful to the environment is to make them more efficient. Using motion detectors and timers can help reduce the amount of time they are on, without being used effectively.

Implement more nature

Bringing the outdoors into your home or work space will not only make the space look and feel calmer, but help produce and regulate oxygen.

So hopefully, this has helped you all see a way we can all help reduce our effect on our planet, whatever small or large change you make in your home or workplace.

Have you made any changes to your routine or home / work space? Anything that should be added to my help list? As always, I love hearing your thoughts, so share yours in the comment section below.
