Boost Bio Market – Online organic shopping

I’ve been buying organic products for over ten years now. During my pre-mama days as a writer for a newspaper here in Cyprus, I began researching the benefits of eating organic produce and using eco-friendly products. I tried and tested products and produce, wrote articles and became convinced of the long-term goodness that comes with consuming organic. Today, and three kids later, I still purchase organic although as a big family it’s not easy to go exclusively organic due to costs… Or is it? A new local online shop, Boost Bio Market, has opened and promises to knock down prices on our favourite organic brands, offering a range of products that are delivered straight to your door. I tried it out.

Pie In the Sky – An online eco-friendly toystore

Since I discovered the existence of beautifully curated kids shops, both online and on site, my kids’ selection of toys has gone up a notch. They’re -slowly- replacing big ugly plastic trucks with wooden airplanes and exciting puzzles. And the kids genuinely love them. The latest online toy store added to my list of spaces to shop from for birthday gifts, among other things is Pie in the Sky, a local business with a seriously impressive selection of toys and accessories mainly because they’re all eco-friendly and sustainably sourced.

Support her

We had argued for the millionth time that week. We were heading into deep waters, something had to change. After hours of contemplating and analysing this change, I decided to send him a message containing everything I was feeling. Everything, the good, the bad and the very ugly. I am a stay-at-home mum raising three kids, two of which are under three, with a 20-month old age gap and a lot of energy. I am exhausted, as you can imagine. But on that morning when I poured my heart into a single viber message, the relief was instant. Because I had finally spoken up and somehow I knew I would be getting what I wanted: support.
