Hello! How are you? I thought I'd write a life lately blog post, a brief revitalising of my previous being fifty and fab series that I've not had time to keep up with for so long! Life has been crazy, difficult, busy, challenging but there have also been moments of joy, fun outings, some sunshine and lots of family time. This blog post contains some affiliate links.  Lotties Loft is a small business based in Kent and online, I am wearing the beautiful
Esme Cardigan in Mint Green, so soft!

I've noticed during my online browsing (and buying) that there has been a significant shift towards availability of eco-friendly, sustainable fabrics, maybe I am stating the obvious, but I hope we are all becoming far more aware of the environmental impact of the choices we make when shopping. From buying less, to buying (and selling) pre-loved fashion, renting outfits, and choosing eco-friendly fabrics whenever possible, we are no longer prepared to accept fast fashion. But what should we be looking for, what can we do when we are shopping and what are the most sustainable fabrics (and the least sustainable), can the big fashion brands ever be truly sustainable? This blog post contains paid for links.  Sustainable fashion and the rise of eco-friendly fabrics A very rare treat, swimming at the Sky Pool for the RNLI 'Float to Live' campaign with Helly Hansen6/6/2024 When I received an invitation from the RNLI & Helly Hansen to attend the launch event for a very important water safety campaign at the super exclusive Sky Pool in London's Embassy Gardens I was very excited, a little nervous and of course hoping for a mild day and some sun! I didn't quite get the ideal weather conditions but I did learn that I can float and just how imperative it is for us all to be aware of some vital water survival skills. In 2022 there were 226 deaths in the UK form accidental drownings, across inland and coastal locations. Of the people who died, 40% of had no intention of entering the water, including those walking, with causes including slips, trips and falls, being off cut off by the tide or being swept in by waves. It brings home just how important it is to understand and be aware of life saving advice to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. We may never plan to actually swim in a river or enter the sea but accidents do happen and I'd rather be prepared, wouldn't you? PR Invite  Helly Hansen & RNLI 'Float to Live' launch event at Sky Pool, Embassy Gardens With TV programmes like Stacey Solomon's Sort Your Life Out, popular organising books from Marie Kondo, and professional organisers gaining in popularity plus the rise of the sustainable, less is more, movement, I can't be the only one that has realised in my late 50s that I really do want less stuff. I crave a clutter free life, an organised home and more time to enjoy myself! I am utterly horrified when I look back at my previous shopping habits and the amount of money I have spent on possessions that I just don't need. We've moved from the traditional Saturday shopping day in the town centre (remember that?) to getting everything delivered to our doorstep every minute of every day and I hate it! It was meant to be easier, but it is now too easy, we order more stuff without even thinking about it and the problem is, it has to go somewhere! We are just cluttering up our homes and I don't think that is progress at all. I am still very much a work in progress in terms of changing my habits and sorting my life out! I recognise I need help, this isn't just about getting a skip and chucking everything out, it is about changing my mindset for good, it is about understanding why I buy so much that I really don't need. Do you feel the same? What if you could get the help of a professional declutterer and best of all pay for it by selling your unwanted items ... read on to learn more!
