Textile waste is a big problem worldwide. The numbers are astonishing, as you would imagine, making it something we all need to start tackling right now starting with the brand new cute t-shirts, adorable dresses, neon-coloured leggings and trendy shoes we love buying for our offspring. Children grow like weeds, twice a year they require a massive wardrobe overhaul that’s never cheap so it makes sense that many items can and should come from places like CoCoBee.
I promised myself at the beginning of this series that if something works for me – as in did it bring positivity into my life?- I will write about it and hopefully inspire you to do the same. Sometimes the smallest actions can have the biggest impact on the way we feel. Like drinking water, going to bed early and meeting an old friend you haven’t seen in ages.
I have had to keep this a secret for so long I am practically bursting to tell you all about the absolutely fantastic news that one of my favourite health food stores now stocks The Groovy Food Company !!!

Since I became a mother of three, I have learnt to appreciate online shopping more. Not the food shopping kind though. That’s s my cardio especially with the minimum of two kids in tow. It’s a great workout. I’m talking about all those little things that we need, things like household and hygiene stuff, that would require alot of effort and time planning, hopping from shop to shop with the kids. The type of stuff you might buy from Amazon or eBay. But since this is a pro-local and pro-small business blog I am happy to present Yiassu, a local business with an online platform that stocks all those little things you need.
Georgie was assigned to keep a diary as part of a school project. Even though he already has one, he needed some motivation to journal every day. So I told him that I have always kept a diary, from a very young age and that I still have many of those diaries. So a little plastic container was pulled down from the highest shelf and opened. The first thing we saw was my baby book. Which is now considered a proper vintage item.
