What’s the Issue with Tissue?

Until recently I had never thought much into anything to do with the loo. As long as the toilet cleaner and paper were good quality, and on special, that is what I would buy.

The Last Brush

My electric toothbrush of 4 years finally took its last brush. It had served me well, my filling-free mouth being proof.

I hope everyone’s week starts with as much joy as Peter Glazebrook shows towards his world record breaking onion Buying/ consuming less is key to living a more sustainable lifestyle. Obsessed with this @libertylondon fabric I recently purchased. They currently have a range of GOTS certified organic cotton which comes in the most beautiful prints. Did you know that Frangipanis are heat and drought tolerant! Did you know that humans have produced ~8.3billion metric tonnes of plastic since its creation of which only an estimated 9% has been recycled. Unfortunately this means that the rest has ended up in landfill, on the streets and in our oceans 🥺. Did you know that our oceans cover more than 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface and is the home to 94% of the Earth’s living species? Did you know that we cut down approximately 27,000 trees per day just to produce toilet paper. To put this into perspective that’s enough trees to cover Monaco 😱 - What a waste! The word daisy comes from the Old English “daes eage,” meaning “day’s eye.” The name refers to the way they close their petals in the evening, and open again at dawn, marking the beginning of a new day.
