Home Content // Nourish Your Lawn Now so That It Will Look Stunning in the Springtime*
In the winter months, most of us spend very little time in our gardens. It is just too cold and dreary. As a result, we tend to more or less forget about maintaining our gardens during the colder months. To a large extent, this is not a problem. In the winter, most plants do not grow much, when it is colder. So, they are perfectly happy being left until it is time to trim them back in the spring. However, you really should not do this with your grass. Looking after it during the winter months does not take long. Yet, doing so will pay huge dividends for the rest…

Christmas Content // Tips for an eco-friendly Christmas tree*
Everyone loves the holiday season, but it can take a heavy toll on the environment. All those piles of rubbish, including gift wrap, disposable plates, food leftovers – the list goes on. However, New Year is a time for new beginnings, so why not make an early resolution to make this a green Christmas? And where better to start than with the centrepiece of your yuletide celebrations, the tree itself? Credit The Great Christmas Tree Debate It’s the question that divides families – real or artificial? Even from an ecological perspective, the answer is not clear cut (no pun intended). The worst thing you can do is buy a cut tree that will shed needles in your living room and then be thrown away. However, if an artificial tree just…

Things I’m Looking Forward to in Autumn*
Autumn has become the favourite season among bloggers, and I’m not different, mainly because it sees the end of the season of hayfever! Spring is my absolute favourite season, but I do love when the first of September hits as that’s when I consider Autumn to be beginning. Enjoyment wise, I’d say Autumn is my favourite because there is just so much I look forward towards the end of the year and since I’m about to spend 11 days of my Autumn in 80 degrees heat I’ve decided to share what I’m most looking forward to about Autumn in this country. Pumpkin Spice Everything Yes, I am one of those…

Life After a PCOS Diagnosis*
It’s funny how you look at people and unless you really know them, you don’t know what is actually going on in their lives. And sometimes even if you know someone, you don’t know everything. This is a bit like me and PCOS. Mainly because I’m still struggling to come to terms with it, but also because I don’t like people pitying me. Nature’s Best looks at Polycystic Overy Syndrom, PCOS for short, and it’s a condition that affects how the ovaries work. And I’ve found out over the last year, it’s fairly common. Most women are diagnosed in their teens or early twenties but I didn’t have any serious…

4 Ways to Pull Focus to a Feature Wall*
I think in a past life I was an interior designer. I love nothing more than going onto Pinterest and pinning loads of ideas on how to decorate homes that I don’t currently own. I love looking and different trends, some that work in big houses, some that work in small, some that are outdated and some that are very fashionable. One of the trends i’ve seen rise over the last decade, as fire places become outdated, is the feature wall. In case you don’t have a clue what i’m talking about, a feature wall is one of the four walls of a room that is decorated differently so it…

3 Ways to Freshen Up a Room Without Decorating the Whole Place*
Do you ever walk into a room of your house and feel like the place needs freshened up a bit? I do more than ever at the moment since my sister got my mum and I into the whole “Hinching” craze. My house hasn’t really been touched since we moved in 4 years ago, apart from LM’s room and standard cleaning. In the last month I’ve cleared out draws and cupboards, bleached skirting boards and windows and even repainted radiators. If I allowed myself, I could go crazy but due to lack of funds I’ve had to reign myself in (Disney holidays with LM still come as top priority). Once…
