    Was that summer? That one nice day we had last week? 

At least we made the most of it. Me and my girls headed to @blackpoolsandsdevon our local beach for breakfast. 

We were super impressed with the food and the coffee but also with all the lovely little touches they have brought in to protect the environment. 

You can do some litter picking whilst there. The food packaging is all biodegradable, the water came in cans. They've also added a sauna. 

I feel so grateful to have this beautiful beach right on our doorstep.

    [AD] I hate dealing with food waste. I like recycling and doing my bit for the planet, but food waste can be quite disgusting. Especially in hot weather while you're waiting for the council to collect the waste. It starts to decompose and stink.it creates disgusting bin juice and then come the flies and maggots. It really is gross. I also hate cleaning the food waste bin. 

But now I've found a solution. Enter @getlomi the Smart Waste Kitchen Composter. It can transform your food waste into compost in as little as 5 hrs. No more rotting food, odours or flies. And the best bit is you can use the compost for your houseplants or in the garden.

I've been using it for almost 2 months now and I am SOLD!!! I won't be going back. I've written up a full review over on the blog so why don't you pop over there to learn more about this amazing little machine and how it can help you deal with your food waste, do your bit for the planet and reduce your carbon footprint. 

Simply hit the link in my bio and head to the blog to read the post.

    This image makes my soul feel at peace. It encapsulates how I want to feel in my home. The colours? Yes! The materials? Absolutely! But more than anything else it is the texture. 

It took me over a decade to realise that texture has such a huge impact on how I feel in a space and how I want to experience it. his realisation came about through the discovery of biophilic design. 

This is the Waffle radiator designed by @pierolissoni for @antrax_it and interpreted in Brenton Green. It has a three-dimensional surface, with a geometric texture in 100% recyclable cast aluminum and can be installed horizontally or vertically, as well as being equipped with a towel rail or wooden hook. 

The contrast in the materials and textures and colours in this image feels like home to me. 

What is it about an interior that speaks to you? Are you a texture person too or is it something else that calls to you?

Let me know in the comments or send me a DM.

    For ages now we've been using our Night Owl duvet from @finebeddingco because the faff of changing duvet covers and the duvet disappearing down inside the cover just irritates me so much. 

However, I really fancied a change this week so went back to the @madebykoa bedding set. Firstly, I absolutely love the patterns and colours and secondly I had forgotten just how easy it is to put on. 

You simply lay it on the mattress, unzip the bottom and straight up the middle, lay the duvet on top, flap it back over and zip up. It couldn't be easier. 

And the added bonus is that the bedding is so soft and feels great to sleep in. It's very cooling on these balmy summer nights. 

*Both bedding sets mentioned in this post were previously gifted by the brands as part of content collaborations.

    I love filling my home and office with plants and greenery. The only problem is I am terrible with maintenance and often neglect my plants.

In the office, I resorted to faux plants which have definitely alleviated the guilt a little as few plants die these days. But I'd obviously prefer to incorporate real greenery where possible. 

Maybe moss is the answer? Paola Di Legge is the biophilic artist behind @ninfastudio_com and she produces the most spectacular moss wall art and decorative items for homes and offices.

Preserved moss and plants last years without requiring maintenance, look fantastic and enable us to bring the many benefits of nature indoors. What could be better?

Find out more about Paola and her moss artwork over on the blog.
