At Friendly Turtle’s EcoBlog, we explore how to create a zero-waste kitchen without feeling overwhelmed. Reducing food waste, embracing reusable alternatives, composting, and rethinking grocery shopping can all make a significant environmental impact. From swapping plastic wrap for beeswax wraps to cooking from scratch and organising your kitchen for success, even small changes add up over time. A zero-waste kitchen isn’t about perfection—it’s about mindful progress. Step by step, you’ll reduce waste, save money, and create a healthier, more sustainable home that reflects your values.

Londons First 'Mindful Market' With Vegans Of London

London's First Mindful Market - Conscious Living For Londoners
So...some super exciting news to announce this week- we have a spot at London's very first 'Mindful Market' this September 7th, hosted by Vegans Of LDN! This will be a market dedicated exclusively to ethical traders and conscious consumers, so naturally, it fits in very well with our own ethos. With 60+ vendors here on the day, there will be everything from vegan hot food stalls, sweet treats, sustainable goods for the home, clothing, plants, candles...and of course a lovely range of goods from our very own shop on display. Expect indoor and outdoor stalls, large ones and small ones, free sampling and up to 80 different traders serving up everything ethical, vegan and kind. Sounds super fun and we can't wait for this one to come around. This is hopefully the first of many markets and pop-ups we have in stall for the coming months and the build-up towards Christmas. It's great to get out and chat with like-minded people who are keen to reduce waste, live sustainably, and trying to help clean up our oceans and environment, just as we are. So if you're free and looking for something fun to do, don't forget to come check it out and say hi!

At Friendly Turtle’s EcoBlog, we explore how to choose anti-ageing skincare that’s both effective and sustainable. From plant-based hyaluronic acid and jojoba oil to packaging that’s recyclable or biodegradable, eco-friendly beauty is now easier than ever. Look for products with fair trade, ethically sourced ingredients and avoid harmful chemicals like parabens and sulfates. Plant-based antioxidants such as green tea and avocado oil can protect and nourish your skin naturally. By making mindful choices, you can support your skin’s health and the planet without compromising on results.

By planning with intention and creativity, you can honour the graduate and the planet. A memorable graduation doesn’t have to cost the earth just a bit of mindful preparation!
