💡 My best waste-free discovery...
Getting all our muesli ingredients in paper rather than plastic. We currently don't have soft plastic recycling in Canterbury, so I'm happy we’re not adding more plastic to landfill.
🍫 My fave Refill Nation snack...
Blackcurrant and chia seed bites. They satisfy my sweet cravings and are nutritious. The dark chocolate ginger is a VERY close second…!
🤔 At first I thought eco-living was...
Going right off the grid and being very self-sufficient.
🌼 But now I know...
It's about the little bits I can do to help make a difference.

]]>🌱 I refill because…
It feels great supporting a local business with an amazing range, at great prices. I can buy just the amount I need, perfect when trying a new recipe, & the profits aren’t going offshore!
💡 My best waste-free discovery…
Switching plastic items with alternatives, like bamboo toothbrushes & wooden dish brushes. Plus I think they look better too.
🍫 My fave Refill Nation snack…
Too many to choose! But right now Murukku Chickpea snacks, so moreish – a great alternative to potato chips.
🤔 At first I thought eco-living was…
Too big a mountain to climb, how would I make a difference.
🌼 But now I know…
Small steps make a big difference! The amount of waste we put out each week is dramatically less, after making just a few simple changes. We haven’t paid more for alternative products either, just no plastic! Which last longer so you don’t spend on replacements as often.

]]>🌱 I refill because…
It’s so much cheaper than the supermarket, and the kids love finding the free sample that Refill Nation throws in for us to try.
💡 My best waste-free discovery…
Anything to do with the kids’ lunchboxes... filling small containers with yoghurt from its original pottle, adding frozen fruit with a drizzle of honey, and baking/making most things from scratch.
🍫 My fave Refill Nation snack…
Right now the whole family is obsessed with the salted caramel nougat. All the kids’ teachers got a jar of it for end of year thank you.
🤔 At first I thought eco-living was…
Doing things on a much bigger scale.
🌼 But now I know…
How much the small changes add up! Ordering from RN has halved my rubbish output, so I seriously feel like my little changes are making a big difference.
