Plastic free innovation!

Leafology Journal: Leaves, Shoots & Roots

Following on from my announcement about the Leafodorant being a finalist in the ‘EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS’ category, I can also reveal that the Renaissance Cleansing powder for hair and body has been shortlisted by the Veggie Awards 2024 as a finalist in the ‘PLASTIC FREE INNOVATION’ category! 🎉

One recyclable metal tin replaces two plastic bottles (shampoo and body wash) in your shower, while refills are delivered in paper bags, with money-saving bulk buy options and free delivery within the UK.

Happy New Year + Do you ever wonder how you fit in?

Leafology Journal: Leaves, Shoots & Roots, Uncategorised

I write this with the zingy Tea & Sympathy Relief Balm dabbed gloriously around the base of my nostrils (it’s a good visual, I grant you), since a winter cold has hit me hard over the last week and not being able to breathe PLUS having a red, chafed nose from blowing it too many times is a double whammy up with which I will not put. (It’s helped a lot, by the way.)


Back on topic, I have to admit something: despite the fact that Leafology is growing month by month, and I’m ridiculously excited about it all (and grateful!), I had a small waver a couple of days ago. Here’s why:
