I absolutely love having a clean and tidy home. I feel that being organised, clean, tidy and having a lovely smelling home helps me keep focused, driven and pushes me forward day to day. in my life I’d like to share with you my favourite uses for Zoflora, all safe, and hopefully give you some inspiration to clean your home, for cheap, and get it smelling lovely too in the process!
In the past if I had clothes that looked worn I would just throw them in the bin. Eventually. However, I want to waste less money and I hate clothes shopping.
Since having my c-section I am really struggling with finding trousers that actually fit nicely, without hurting my stomach. I’ve got one pair of jeans that I absolutely love and they are really comfortable.
I’m able to work down the allotment in them and walk long distances without pain. They had seen better days though. Significantly better days.
For a while I was wearing them faded and wasn’t really bothered. That is until I saw a photo of me wearing them. I knew then that I had to either find more jeans that I enjoy OR I had to give my favourite jeans a dye. I picked up this Dylon fabric dye and set to work.
For around 9 years we lived in a little 1 bedroom flat. With a child too. We originally felt like we had lots of space, and made room for pets as well. We also had space to store all the items for our daughter but finally, when she was 3.5 we were able to move house. Into an actual house!

I have two Shark vacuum cleaners, have gifted my Mum a Shark vacuum cleaner and now I have been gifted a Shark Steam Mop from AO. As I love a bit of cleaning (30 minutes a day most days!) I thought I’d tell you what I think after using this for a couple of weeks.
We were gifted this item in exchange for coverage. Ironing… One single word that can emit a huge groan from most people. Whether you are a fan of ironed bedsheets and pants, or just using your iron for the bare minimum (weddings and school photos), it is inevitable that at some point you’re going to need to get the iron out. In our home, my husband does most of the ironing, which I’m really grateful for. Although this is mostly because he wears ironed clothes and I rarely mind if mine are ironed. The good people at AO recently sent me the Morphy Richards Saturn Steam (model number 30500) to review and I want to share my thoughts with you.
