What’s so bad about BPA? It’s a toxic chemical, a really nasty one. It’s used to make plastic and it wreaks havoc on the endocrine system. It’s been linked to cancer, heart disease, diabetes and reproductive issues.

June 24, 2022

I want to make it easy for you to be a sustainable human. I want to make it fun for you to find amazing brands doing good things for the world. I want to make it interesting to learn about what's going on in the world of plastic and I want you to feel inspired to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Cancer-causing chemicals like triclosan, formaldehyde, and synthetic fragrances are three of the most common ingredients in off-the-shelf deodorants. They're added to prevent the pong but they've also been linked to breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

Most of us sleep wrapped up in cotton or bamboo bedding, and while cotton might be a natural fibre, when it is farmed 'conventionally' and not organically, it uses more insecticides than any other crop.

Holy Lamb Organics are proud to carry on a centuries-old tradition of making beautiful textile products by hand too, and they're dedicated to honouring heritage methods, sustainable business practices, fair labour practices, secure working conditions, diversity, and inclusion.

You've probably never stopped to think about what you're sleeping on, but you should. Considering we spend a third of our lives in bed, the sheets we're all tossing and turning in - matter.

March 12, 2021

When I need a skin pick-me-up these days, instead of using magic serums full of chemicals, I opt for a natural scrub. Kirra Australia's all-natural, nasty-free and certiﬁed organic scrub blends tick all my ethical, sustainable and clean beauty boxes, and they smell absolutely delicious too.

August 07, 2020

The Australian Government Department of Health guideline have confirmed, repeatedly, that cloth face masks are suitable for us everyday folk, with two layers a minimum, and three layers for better protection.

April 24, 2020

I'm constantly looking for ways to support our local community, and I don't want to toot my own horn too much, but what's coming is pretty special. It's the start of something new, and I can't wait to share it with you.

DBP is one of the many chemicals that Danielle Egan refuses to use in her nail polish range, and rightfully so. Sienna polishes are also free from toxins, animal products, and micro-plastics, plus they're gender-inclusive, water permeable and Wudu-friendly, making them suitable for people of Muslim faith.

Grace Beverley is the first inspirational fellow female on our Boss Lady List, and what a woman to launch with and set the standard. Grace is an impressive woman; she has nearly 600k subscribers on her YouTube channel and over one million followers on Instagram, but we don’t love her for the numbers. Grace is an advocate for sustainable fashion, and a body-positive honest #ladyboss.

The beauty and wellbeing industry is ever-evolving. New miracle serums pop up every week promising to turn back the clock ten years in ten minutes, and it can be a little tricky choosing between good beauty products and good marketing. It isn't easy to fight the urge of ageing naturally either when every second advertisement swears that 'looking younger' is the secret to happiness.

September 17, 2019

I've teamed up with my favourite local brands to celebrate everything Mother Nature, fresh and floral for our Spring giveaway. Enter to win a prize pack full of ethical and sustainable goodies valued at $1100.

September 04, 2019

The average Australian woman will spend $18,171 on period products over her lifetime. From a financial, environmental, and wellness perspective, menstrual cups are simply more sustainable than disposable pads and tampons.

August 30, 2019

Deodorant is a comfort-product; no-one wants to be that pongy one in the room. We all have our favourite brands that we stick to religiously and rely on, but keeping our pits pong-free can be detrimental to our health. The skin is the body's largest organ, and what we put on it - from the deodorant in our pits to the moisturiser on our palms - matters.

August 30, 2019

Campos Coffee will serve up thousands of coffees during Melbourne Fashion Week but not a single paper cup will be used at the Forecourt pop up. Impressive, considering Australians throw away nearly three million disposable coffee cups every day.

August 14, 2019

There are 12,560,976 women in Australia and by the time you've finished reading this blog post, another three will have been born. Considering our force in numbers, it's a strange concept that it's still 'taboo' to talk about menstruation and periods.

August 13, 2019

The Natural Bedding Co's range of mattresses have been making it hard to get out of bed for nearly four decades, but for all the right reasons - they're Australian made, organic, sustainable, ethical and damn comfy.

August 08, 2019

Eating organic produce is better for our bodies and the environment. It's free from antibiotics (meat products), growth hormones, stimulants, and Genetically Modified Organisms - none of which belong in the body.

August 08, 2019

Spending a little time practising self-care regularly is the key to feeling spring-ready all year round, and while a night of pampering may still be a 'night in', it's well worth it every now and again.

July 31, 2019

I have an unquenchable thirst to educate myself and grow, to become more awake, more conscious, more aware and more synchronised with nature and, for as long as I can remember, I have always had a strong interest in health and wellbeing. I guess I was just looking for the inspiration to base a business around.

July 05, 2019

Disposable pads are made with up to 90% plastic and they can take upwards of 400 years to decompose if they ever do at all. Adhesive pads haven't been around long enough to measure their impacts, and all the disposable pads we've tossed away since they were invented in 1970, still exist somewhere in landfill and waterways today.

June 27, 2019

Coconut water consumption has increased by 60% over the last decade and global demand for coconut oil has soared, but 99% of harvested coconut shells are discarded and burned.
