50+ Ways to Reuse Your Empty Leafology Containers

Leafology Journal: Leaves, Shoots & Roots

Sustainable thinking doesn’t have to stop when you’ve enjoyed the last drop of your Leafology product.

One of the reasons we choose aluminium and glass packaging is because it’s durable, recyclable and often useful long after its original purpose has been fulfilled. Before you place your empty container into the recycling, why not see if it could enjoy a second life?

Here are some favourite ideas for reusing Leafology jars, tins, aluminium bottles and amber glass bottles…

This is for the list lovers

This is a break from normal service to tell you about something that has kinda changed my life…

As a lifelong animal lover, I’m forever grateful to have had an overnight stay at the Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent last weekend – some of you may have seen the TV series during which hand-reared Maya the mighty jaguar learned to swim, to help her strength/coordination after being malnourished at 5 days old, or watched Willow the cheetah who had a fractured front paw as a cub, but who now spends her life purring at top volume (captured in my video – link below!).

BIG changes at Leafology.

Leafology Journal: Leaves, Shoots & Roots
Leafology has always pioneered change.

It is with enormous regret that from 6th April (in line with the new tax year), Leafology prices are going to increase by an average of 100% (double) per product.

Due to the ongoing state of the world, an increase in costs while sourcing our natural plant ingredients…. plus the fact that I’d personally like to lie on a Caribbean beach 24/7... We feel this is a necessary step.

We also, regretfully, have no choice but to discontinue our ‘subscribe & save’ option, meaning all customers will return to paying full price, every time.

Following this change, we’re going to start leading the brave call for testing all products on animals, starting with our own pets.

We are excited, thereafter, to start dabbling with synthetic scent blends (the more headaches, the better), reformulating everything to mainly just be water, and sourcing plastic containers/packaging (no more silly refills in paper bags!), so as to lower costs, since we know that destroying the environment and those who dwell in it, is an important mission.

Expect parcels full of bubble wrap. Can’t wait! 👍🫧

We truly appreciate your understanding during this transition. Your support means everything to us and is not something we take lightly, here at Leafology HQ. 💚

Thank you so much for being on this journey with us. 🌿

Happy April Fool’s. 😄

(We’d never.)

It’s a March extravaganza!

Leafology Journal: Leaves, Shoots & Roots

Because time marches on, I will very soon be turning yet another year older, as will my dearest mother (who packs all of your orders with the tissue-paper wrapping skills & cards you so love!) AND it’s Mother’s Day coming up very soon, on the 15th! …So March feels a bit monumentous in the Leafology family team!

To celebrate (and pass on the love to you loyal email readers!), I want to let you know of TWO simultaneous offers now live!

Do people like being in your home?

Leafology Journal: Leaves, Shoots & Roots

It’s not just about what other people think, of course. You need to feel your best in your home, AKA ‘safe place’ / ‘sanctuary’ / place to escape the harshness of the world.

Below are 3 reasons you might want to think about fragrancing your home with natural ingredients rather than synthetic chemicals, plus a rundown on what might help:

1. When you think about it, your air is part of your skincare (and wellbeing)
Most conventional home fragrances are made with synthetic chemicals designed to linger. Natural ingredients like essential oils, plant resins and botanical extracts work with your body rather than against it. They’re metabolised more gently, supporting a calmer nervous system instead of overwhelming it, meaning your home actually smells beautiful and feels good to be in.

2. Natural scents evolve and develop, while synthetic ones dominate
Synthetic fragrances tend to be kinda ‘loud’ and a bit piercing  (AKA headache-inducing, for the sensitive among us). They also stay exactly the same until they fade. Natural aromas are more nuanced, unfolding slowly, changing with warmth and airflow, and generally create a softer, more lived-in atmosphere. We want more of a ‘sanctuary’ feel for you and/or your guests, rather than the sense of walking into the air-freshener aisle.

I was so delighted to receive this email, which dropped into my inbox like a glorious-scented, rainbow-hued puff of smoke, from customer Hayley, who has also given me permission to share the images she’s taken of her family below. Thank you, Hayley!

She says:

“I’ve been using the beautiful Leafology products for 18 months or more after we discovered you at Vegan Campout in 2024 or maybe in 2023 where my boyfriend bought the toothpaste powder and then started buying me some treats when I was pregnant with the bump oil and nappy balm for our baby.

(FYI: 👆  I’ve taken the liberty of adding in the links to the products Hayley mentions, in case helpful for anyone intrigued by her experience. 👇)

4 things I’m noticing as January orders roll in (A glimpse behind the scenes)

Happy New Year!

Today, a glimpse from behind the scenes… 👇

4 things I’m noticing as January orders roll in:
(Just some cosy, warm reflections + the last one is a biggie!)

1. Some of your names make me smile… Simply seeing them pop up in my order notifications. I remember the message you sent once, the kind review you left, or the time you rushed to introduce yourself at an event & tell me about your vast Leafology collection in person! Those little moments leave a memory. It’s sweet to have that extra connection, and makes everything feel more human!

I don’t mean to pretend my email inbox isn’t as scattered with junk as the next person’s…

And I admit that answering them all personally means I’m not always as perfectly speedy as I’d like to be (working on it!)…

… But I DO maintain that I (still) have the most wonderfully kind customers.

💌 These images give you a snapshot of the daily inbox situation; comments received – unprompted – in just one 24-hour segment. By email. (Which is akin to the old-fashioned letter in the post, surely!*)

Connecting my handmade creations with those of you who value genuinely natural, plant-powered (joyful) ingredients, here, there and everywhere, is pretty special.
