Why being Eco-friendly is more affordable than you think

Why being Eco-friendly is more affordable than you think

by Lyn Lapworth

How it all began In October 2020 a friend of mine made a comment about how she thought being eco-friendly was expensive. This was a real light bulb moment – there and then, I knew I had to do something to prove otherwise. I had 2 young children and as a family...

This morning was just what I needed! Fresh air, b This morning was just what I needed! Fresh air, bright sunshine, gorgeous surroundings and fab company. It's times like this that remind you just how vital getting outdoors is for our mental health. The temptation to tuck ourselves away when the temperature drops is real, but this is the most important time to blow away the cobwebs. So this morning I dug out my old ski gear, wrapped up and headed out for a walk. And I feel so much better for it! My legs ache a little, my face knows it's been out in the cold and my head has cleared after a very busy week. Appreciating the benefits of being outdoors is key to looking after our natural world. So a small tip for your Friday - when the temperatures hit freezing overnight, please remember the wildlife and small creatures in your garden that need water. Popping a small dish of water water outside could make all the difference to them.
How has it been a month already?? Last month, I w How has it been a month already?? Last month, I was back at the fabulous @homelifeandyou show talking about my passion. It is my mission to change the narrative around how easy it is to live more sustainably. We know the climate crisis is a huge overwhelming issue, but we also know that taking action helps to ease eco-anxiety. By introducing simple changes to everyday habits, we can all do our bit. And in the act of making changes, our confidence grows as we know we're making a difference. When our confidence grows, we then look to make the next change, then the next. And before we realise, all those small changes have made quite an impact. Then ultimately, we find our entire mindset has changed. Taking those first steps is where I come in. Learning how much of an impact you can make by changing everyday habits, finding out which brands you can really trust AND how to identify them, and becoming aware of how much we can benefit our health through the removal of harmful toxins in our home - all create a feeling of empowerment. I offer services to help: 🌍 individuals looking to make changes around the home 🌍 businesses with employee wellbeing teams, where I can help ease eco-anxiety and improve your company's eco credentials 🌍 event organisers looking for speakers on topics around Sustainable Living - saving money, reducing toxins, reducing waste (and many more) DM me to book a free introductory chat. And if you know of someone this applies to, please pass on my details.

Today has been a 'so tired I could fall asleep st Today has been a 'so tired I could fall asleep standing up' kinda day. One of those days where I couldn't be bothered to put on as much make up as usual and should probably have washed my hair but didn't. The weekend was a good kind of busy. Spending the day with good friends on Saturday and a FULL ON day Sunday at my business coaches event - where I took on a lot of information and felt a variety of different emotions. So today, I'm feeling it. I could easily have fone back to bed once the kids were safely off to school. I've just been kind to myself instead as I knew I'd be processing a lot from the coaching day. I headed out for a walk, I had a little tidy round the house (it's amazing how much mess you come back to after only 1 day away!) and didn't give myself a hard time for only booking 1 call this afternoon. (turned out to be a particularly fab call too 😃) We're too quick to give ourselves a hard time because we're not doing 'all the things' There's so much pressure to be the 'perfect' wife/mum/daughter/sister/friend Sometimes we just need a little help. And know that's OK. So ahead of Black Friday AND Christmas, let me help you tick a few jobs off the list. Let me show you where to source more meaningful gifts. all be more conscious of our choices. According to @finder_com_uk 🎁 3 in 5 Brits (58%) received an unwanted gift at Christmas, which is around 31 million adults. 🎁The total spend on unwanted gifts at Christmas is estimated to be £1.27 billion. The average value of unwanted gifts received per person was £41. 🎁The most common unwanted gifts are soap, bath bombs and moisturisers. So if you'd like to know the money you're spending goes on gifts that will be appreciated, join me for my Sustainable Gift shopping session- BE QUICK, IT'S TOMORROW! Tuesday 18th November at 8pm You are worth the £36 investment to buy yourself some time and headspace.
WHAT A DAY! Yesterday was a day full of hugs, lau WHAT A DAY! Yesterday was a day full of hugs, laughter, a few tears, some turtle talk (IYKYK) but most importantly, yet more breakthroughs. It was a day spent with a room full of incredible women ready to show up for themselves and shake off those limiting beliefs. The Queen of High Vibes herself @dawnowencoach was on top form, delivering ways of tweaking our mindset and taking those all important steps forward towards our future self. This was 6th time at one of Dawn's events and each time there's something new to take away. One thing is for sure, 2026 is set to be my best year yet!
We all had our opinions on Katy Perry's trip to sp We all had our opinions on Katy Perry's trip to space earlier this year. Should she have gone? Were you envious? Disgusted? Embarrassed for her? Or just not particularly interested? That 11 minute flight cost her in excess of £115,000. And its estimated the building the New Shephard rocket cost Blue Origin upwards of $700 million. And who owns Blue Origin? The world's 3rd richest man, Jeff Bezos. We obviously know Jeff Bezos best for being the part owner of Amazon - a company I'm not exactly a fan of. In 2024 alone, Amazon made $59.248 billion Think about that for a second. Globally, we've become so addicted to the convenience of the 1 stop shop, next day delivery service that feeds our need for the dopamine hit we get from buying something new. So much so, it's funded the creation of a rocket built purely to satisfy the egos of the super rich. That's where your money goes. And on his extravagant wedding celebrations in Venice that cost in excess of $20 million. Amazon customers paid for that too. We could instead be supporting local independent businesses on our street that are probably struggling to pay the bills. Or we could be spending our hard on cash with businesses that donate a percentage of their profits to charity. That feeling of spending your money with a business that genuinely appreciates it far outweighs the short lived dopamine hit from an impulse buy. If this resonates, but you're not sure which brands you can trust, or where to start, I'm here to help. This coming Tuesday evening (18th Nov) at 8pm I'm hosting my online Sustainable Gift shopping session. Its full of inspiration on how to buy better, where you can save money and will ultimately save you time and headspace as you'll be able to tick so many Gift ideas off your list. I've popped the link in my bio, or scan the QR code (swipe left) so you can snap up your seat. The investment is £36.
A question for you... How often to you stop and c A question for you... How often to you stop and consider where your purchases have come from? Who made them? What conditions they work in? What are the morals of the businesses you spend your hard earned money with? Last week, Shein was due to open it's first physical store in Paris within a department store called BHV. However, due to the poor ethics of Shein, other brands within BHV have threatened to leave. Its been revealed that amongst all the other horrors of Shein, they now sell child-like sex dolls on their platform. It's well documented that the other Chinese giant, Temu, have similarly poor ethics. A documentary called the Truth about Temu exposed practices such as selling climbing equipment with faked safety certificates and weapons without checking the age first. Are these really the sort of companies we want to spend our money with - to line the pockets of the super rich owners that don't care who we are and will never appreciate our business? Spending your money closer to home has so many benefits. Research shows that £10 spent with a local independent shop means up to an additional £50 goes back into the local economy. This is simply because the nearby shop owners, who you are spending your money with, will then put that money back into your local community by going into local pubs and restaurants etc, circulating the money and allowing your community to thrive. I've always found customer service to be so much better in small local businesses and small online businesses too. They genuinely appreciate every sale so are keen to make sure tou have a positive experience and use them again. With online purchases from small UK companies, I've even found they pop a handwritten thank you note in with the package. Being a little more consciously about who we spend with can also be better for the environment. Next Tuesday evening (18th November) at 8pm, I'll be hosting my online Sustainable Gift shopping session where I'll introduce you to many ways of buying better in the run up to Christmas. I'll even support you after the session with my unique personal eco shopper service - scan the QR code to book your seat. For £36.
Leave them be. That's it. That's all you need to Leave them be. That's it. That's all you need to do. 🍁 Those fallen leaves create a natural habitat for a variety of small creatures, including insects, spiders, and occasionally amphibians. These little critters use the leaves for shelter and protection from the cold. 🍁 Decomposing leaves are also a vital food source for many important organisms. They break down into rich organic matter, providing nutrients for soil-dwelling creatures, improving biodiversity in the process. 🍁A layer of leaves acts as a natural blanket, insulating the soil and plant roots from extreme temperature fluctuations. This helps protect plants and provides a warmer environment for hibernating animals. 🍁 Birds often forage through leaf litter to find insects and seeds. By leaving leaves on the ground, you’re creating a natural buffet for our feathered friends during the winter months. 🍁 As leaves decompose, they enrich the soil with organic matter, improving its structure and fertility. This leads to healthier plants and a more vibrant garden come spring. So PLEASE dont go raking them up to put in a plastic bin bag! The best options are: 🦔 Leave It Be: In less manicured areas of your garden, simply let the leaves lie where they fall. 🦔 Create Leaf Piles: For drives or pathways, gather the leaves into piles to create specific habitats for wildlife. 🦔 Mulch: Use shredded leaves as mulch around garden beds to provide the benefits of leaf litter while keeping your garden tidy. #tuesdaytoptip
Last Friday was F-ing fabulous! I had the absolut Last Friday was F-ing fabulous! I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Fearless Female Finance Festival- and it was just what I needed! The Festival was the brainchild of the wonderful Karen Heap @sociallyshared and Jo Querelle at @purpleorchidbooks after having enough of hearing about women holding themselves back in their businesses (and in life) As women, we've been conditioned to believe finances are the men's role in the household. We carry imposter syndrome and have absolutely no clue of our own value. Well, things are changing. On Friday, I discovered that within the next 10 years, 53% of the world's wealth will belong to women. Surprised? I wasn't. Having spent my time as a business founder speaking to HUNDREDS of incredible, passionate and dynamic women, it feels like the tide is turning. We are stepping out from the shadows. We have finding our voices. We are realising our worth. But there is still work to do, so here are a couple of key takeaways from the phenomenal speakers - "Earning money doesn't have to be about being rich, it's about feeling secure" "We need more money to be in the hands of GOOD people" (and this does include tou gents too) "The more I earn, the more I can give" "Charging my worth is not about arrogance, it's about accuracy" These definitely hit home for me. So a huge shout out to the Fearless forces that shared their wisdom. Rachel Hill @metro_bank Anne Wordsworth @cubeaccountingsolutions Jo Querelle @purpleorchidbooks Sue Green @rixgreenltd Roisin Ni Chonghaile @truepotentialllp Wendy Garcarz @wendygarcarzconsulting Dawn Owen @dawnowencoach And the one and only Sandra Godley @sangodley for being a Fearless fabulous co-host. Time to take control - unapologetically and fearlessly.
My cup is full to the brim! Being a solo business My cup is full to the brim! Being a solo business owner can feel like a lonely journey sometimes. The most powerful remedy for me has been networking. I cannot begin to tell you how many incredible people I've had the privilege to meet over the last few years. One of my very favourite people is Meeta Darji @naturallynourishedwithmeeta Her passion for improving our lives through mindset work, EFT and through bringing together a gorgeous group of wellness professionals is a source of inspiration. This morning was our monthly meet up and, following Meeta's lead, we all shared our vulnerability- as she has created a space that feels safe enough for us to be honest and open. And the support we all receive in return means we no longer feel alone, or stuck, or lost. Its so powerful and I feel genuinely privileged to be a part of this group. As a member, I also had the opportunity to share my passion for my business and the journey that bought me to where I am today. And looking through the photos Meeta kindly shared with me - I clearly wave my hands around a LOT when I'm sharing my passion. And if that wasn't enough to leave me feeling grateful for deep connections, I then went on the meet up with Keira from Positive Chamge hypnotherapy - we've met so much this year, but only online so it was so good to catch up in person. And we really covered all the topics! And before we knew it 1.5hrs had flown by, the true sign of an instant connection. So today I'm feeling extra fortunate for the fabulous people in my world.
