Although a couple of hungry caterpillars had a go, the butternuts have turned out deliciously well.

Top tip, you need to wait for the mother plant to die before picking these. I tried before and they are green inside and without the buttery nutty sweetness. 😋

Our first ginger harvest, so bloody exciting digging this out!!

Just need this on my feed as a reminder, it’s a helpful thing to refer to when things feel hard, or insurmountable, or even exceptionally good 🤗

My favourite actress and inspiration for carrying oneself past 60.

Thank you Maggie for giving us so much entertainment over the years, for being such an original in an industry that celebrates individualism, but nowadays only invests in the generic regurgitation of creative ghosts.

Attiiiii-babwa! 😍

Baby acne, skull cap, blotchy skin are all normal processes of baby skin getting used to a new, much harsher, increasingly chemical-soaked world outside the womb.

Try gentler soap to wash their clothes and fewer products in their vicinity, including on your own skin if you are seeing flare ups, and if the condition is causing your bubba discomfort try a little organic grape seed, safflower, jojoba, or coconut oil or shea butter after bath time with a little massage for bonding time.

The is a new 10-step beautine obsession - something I never expected to happen again post 2018.

In direct opposition to the key eco-minimalism multi-functional movement of the last five years, shower sharing has become the new shelfie, with layers upon layers of products to pre-cleanse, ‘base clean’, cleanse, physically, then chemically exfoliate, fragrance, target specific areas eg ingrowns, moisturise, treat and ‘seal’ hair and body.

It’s encouraging showers that take longer than baths, which to me is like upgrading a noodle to take longer than a roast diner.

We are not paintwork for high-performance cars, I thought modern findings around the skin biome movement had hit more broadly than this.

Why do you think this is happening now? Is it a form of maximalist rebellion to austerity or an anxiety-induced demonstration of control in an increasingly chaotic world…?

Bliss!! 😊
