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...

A huge thank you for your support and interest thi A huge thank you for your support and interest this year. It means the world. ๐Ÿ’š We've ended the year at the illuminations at @blenheimpalace - a truly magical experience. Looking forward to making new memories in 2026. See you on the other side! ๐ŸŽ†
There is a more sustainable option for everything There is a more sustainable option for everything we buy. Making a choice that's kinder to our planet isn't as complicated as you think.... And can often save us money. Really! Its just a question of being more conscious of the choices we make.... and striving for progress over perfection. Looking back at some of the gifts we bought and received over Christmas, its really not rocket science to make a choice that's more eco-friendly. Buying Preloved is easier than ever, and doesn't just apply to clothing. ๐Ÿซถ The likes of @vinted and @ebay_uk offer all manner of preloved items... 90% of our clothes are preloved, but we also buy books, games and even footwear - all of which saves us money while buying better quality brands that will last longer. I'm also a fan of supporting ethical brands and good causes. ๐Ÿซถ This bag was bought at a bag swap organised by the fab @sortedbywendy to raise money for charity, but you can always head to see what treasures are available at your local charity shops - or check out their website. ๐Ÿซถ @tropicskincare is 1 of my favourite beauty brands, primarily as there are no harmful chemicals in their products that will then be absorbed in to our skin! They also donate huge amounts to good causes. ๐Ÿซถ The green hair wrap was bought from a gorgeous small UK business @goodwashday - supporting small local businesses is another easy win. ๐Ÿซถ And if you have the skills, sending homemade gifts tick the box of eco-friendly options too, so why not think about what you can make, or a skill you'd like to learn. By making slightly different decisions, we can all be a little more eco-friendly- and potentially save money too. Is this in your plans for 2026? #smallchanges #ecofriendlyliving #ecofriendlytips

My standout moment from this year is a feeling tha My standout moment from this year is a feeling that will stay with me forever. The reaction after the talk I delivered at this years @sociallyshared conference was astonishing, heartwarming and actually quite surreal. "You were the talk of the toilets" "Someone put this woman on stage FULL TIME" "You were one of the best speakers of the day...what an absolute beautiful human you are and an inspiration " "You were superb, just as I knew you would be. Keep standing up and talking and sharing your wisdom because people are really listening" I was stunned. And the main reason for this reaction? I welled up on stage, twice - in front of 100 women, many of whom I knew. The theme of the talks was ambition so I chose to speak about how it had never been my ambition to run my own business. It had definitely never been an ambition to stand up on stage and speak in front of audiences. But then I became a mum. Knowing about the impact we were having on our planet and what that could mean for my children had lead us to live an increasingly sustainable lifestyle. But hearing about the barriers others were experiencing - too expensive, overwhelm from too much information, fear of greenwashing, not enough time to do the research etc. etc. So I did the thing I'd never intended on doing - start my own business. And my mission to simplify sustainable living has since led me to speak in public. And on this particular day, in front of so many amazing women, when I mentioned my children, I welled up. Unbeknown to me, half the room felt my emotion and welled up too. When I look back at the phenomenal line up of speakers at that event and think about the reaction after my 10 minute talk, I'm genuinely humbled. Its not just a highlight of my year, its a highlight of my entire time as a business owner. #smallbutmighty #publicspeaking #findyourvoice
Next on my list of highlights from this year is an Next on my list of highlights from this year is an entire weekend! No. 2 slot goes to the time I got to spend with so many wonderful humans at the @homelifeandyou show. My first ever public appearance was at this show 2 years ago, and I'll be forever grateful to show director @pennymoyses for taking a leap of faith in me. This year, I was on the speaker line up both days - and can now add yet another claim that I couldn't ever imagine I'd make.... I was on stage directly after the global icon that is @mariekondo - a real pinch me moment! But this show is so much more than an opportunity to share my passion - it's a particular highlight because of the people involved in the show. Everyone involved in putting the show together are just the most gorgeous people you can imagine. It's been so exciting seeing the show evolve over the 3 events I've been a part of and I cannot wait to see where it goes next year. Each year it gets bigger and better! So mark 17th and 18th Ocotber 2026 in your diary and join us at the Excel to see what you've been missing. I may well see you there. ๐Ÿ˜‰
In May this year, I realised a dream. My dream wa In May this year, I realised a dream. My dream was to cohost my first ever retreat - and thanks to @shehnaaz_latif - it was the most perfect day imaginable. Shehnaaz had approached me about cohosting a retreat together last year - and I jumped at the chance. Between us we created our Slow Living retreat - a day of connecting with nature, of taking time out and of reminding ourselves what's really important for our wellbeing. And it was absolutely blissful! The venue was in the middle of a woodland, the sun shone and we all left with a sense of calm that lasted for days afterwards. So this memory was an easy choice for no.3 of my highlights from 2025. Taking time out for ourselves is something we all need in order to function at our best. And I'm delighted to share that we will be running this retreat again on April 25th 2026. Hot off the press, tickets are now available- and currently at an early bird rate. We're also offering gift vouchers so you can surprise a special friend for Christmas. Just drop me a message once you've booked your tickets and we'll send you the voucher in return. Link is in my Bio... Give the gift of a beautiful experience and your friend will thank you forever. We can't wait to share this day with you. #giftideas #retreat #slowliving
Around this time 2 years ago, I received 1 of the Around this time 2 years ago, I received 1 of the biggest shocks in my business to date. A few weeks after my first ever public speaking event at the Clean and Tidy home show- at the Excel in London no less - I received an email inviting me to speak at the one and only @ideal_home_show. Thr email came from their media partner Media 10, who I weren't familiar with at the time, so my immediate reaction was that this was some kind of con. My instinct was that the Ideal Home show couldn't possibly want me representing my young micro business at their globally renowned show, so I contacted them directly through their website. It turned out they did want little ole me talking at their show. And this year I had the privilege of being invited back. Not only that, I had the huge pleasure of appearing alongside Sian of @iamsorted and President of @apdo_uk - and being interviewed by the lovely @louisegookey Its such a 'pinch me' moment appearing at this show. Even now, having appeared there twice, saying out loud that I've spoken in public at the Ideal Home show seems surreal. So this had to make an appearance in my Top 5 moments from 2025 didn't it? #reflectionsof2025 #publicspeaking
Its not all been plain sailing this year. Certain Its not all been plain sailing this year. Certain aspects of running this small business have been harder than ever. It's given me an opportunity to learn and rethink my approach. Next year feels like a pivotal year for my growth- however this week I'm choosing to look back on my Top 5 standout moments of 2025. There have been so many conversations with inspiring and incredible people in the last month alone, for which I'm very grateful. And November saw no.5 of my highlights, High Vibe Live with my coach @dawnowencoach. Being coached by Dawn over the last few months has seen a huge change in my mindset. I feel resilient, more focused and much more confident in where my business is headed. At High Vibe Live - Dawn's full on day of having your face coached off (her words!) - I was asked to appear on the Success panel, such is the transformation in me this year. It felt like a recognition of just how far I've come. And I also had a moment of sweet revenge after last years High Vibe Live - if you were there #turtlegate has grown a life of its own! So this year @bish_la_la and I turned up in matching turtle tshirts - we felt like naughty school girls! Finding time to have fun is essential in business isn't it? #businessjourney #reflectionsof2025

This audio could not be more appropriate. Its ca This audio could not be more appropriate. Its called Living in Gratitude and sums up every day for me at the moment. December has been jam packed with fabulous conversations with incredible people. And it culminated with a Christmas celebration yesterday with my business family. Connection is everything when you run your own business so having these utterly fabulous ladies in my life means the world. I came away with aching cheeks from 3 hours of smiling, a strained throat from all the catching up and a heart full of joy. I will be forever grateful for finding my tribe. #womensupportingwomen #gratitude #Christmascelebration
