My name is Eloise. I am a mum-of-three trying to live as sustainably as I can. Here you will find my ramblings in the form of blog entries, my tips and tricks to living an sustainable and low tox lifestyle. My posts will contain themes such as eco-friendly living, recipes and sustainability. There is a little something for everyone, wherever you are on your journey.
I am by no means an expert on eco-friendly living, and have only started my attempt at a zero waste existence relatively recently. However, I feel sharing my knowledge with others can only be a step in the right direction to cleaner oceans, increased biodiversity and a greener planet. For us, for our children and for our future.
